At the first of Sothrick's call, at Sothrick's calling Nira "Commander Nira," she shut her eyes and inhaled and thought to herself in exasperation, Why in Allah's name does he have to keep referring to me informally? Why does he not use my surname...?
But when he mentioned Nausicaans and Ferengi, Nira opened her eyes in surprise. She wondered what they had to do with each other, but it had occurred to Nira how the rocks got there. After all, Ferengi had developed technology to phase through planetary objects, and she wondered if the rocks were some kind of experiment, and the Nausicaans were clashing with the Ferengi.
The likelihood of an away mission, most likely with the First Officer, certainly made Nira look forward to it inwardly. Finally, something more in her field of expertise. In any case, she was taking to like Commander Ameen much more than her own department head.
[Understood, Commander Tourock,] Nira responded back; her addressing him by his first name was a decision Nira had; she hoped this would lead to his using her surname, on duty, properly. Her call done, she then looked over to Commander Ameen. "Sothrick keeps calling me by my first name," she whispered. "I don't know why, but it doesn't feel proper. If you're wondering why I addressed him by his first name...well, it'll be, as the expression goes, 'a taste of his own medicine.' Apologies for using his first name, but I'm hoping it gets him to go by my surname on duty. Properly."
