Catt recognized the security officer as a he approached. Her tail settled a bit as he spoke. So that only the tip was
Twitching.
“I have as yet not approached any of the senior staff. I am just doing some preliminary work. It would become illogical to cause a fuss if the project wasn’t able to go forward. Or if it proves impossible to dedicate space in a cargo bay. Some cargos may be moisture sensitive. Other can not be stored near certain other cargos. It creates a logistics puzzle that must be resolved. But time is lacking. If rumors are to be believed the Senior staff discussed our departure from the station last night. So time is not something we have in abundance. So.”, she sighed in a soft purr of a whisper.
“I am in a uncomfortable position Mr. Starr. I do not like, desire or function well as a leader. I do not like attention.
I regret bringing up my project. Starfleet is about learning to adapt and grow. I have been trying. But I am not comfortable. I find for every effort I make to do more. I …”, And she shook her head. And took hold of her tail.
“My apologies Mr. Starr. I should not be burdening you with any of my doubts. Caitan’s are social beings. We gather and discuss ourselves with a honesty that makes most other species uncomfortable. But I choose to serve on a ship with no others of my species. It is proving more difficult than I expected. I admire you for your ability to be self assured in and of yourself Mr. Starr. “,
Catt wasn’t sure just what manner of response to expect. The logical part of her was aghast. She probably should avoid such displays. She hadn’t really noticed that he had gone back to scanning as she spoke till just now either.
“So I was thinking we might need to rush the equipment on board before departure. So I’m looking for a place for it till I can get the paperwork done.”,

Simon continued listening and performing the scans. “Well, time is always fleeting, they do say” he answered “Starfleet is about discovery, and that will always come with change. Being a leader isn’t easy, it always comes with tough decisions, and if we are “comfortable” then growth can’t happen in us. Part of learning and part of becoming more of ourselves, that comes when we step out of that comfort zone and into the unknown. That itself is the first, and sometimes hardest, step to take” he responded to her worries. He smiled as he continued considering her words.

“And there’s no need to apologise, sometimes it’s good to say things to another person, it can help you process things more effectively if you hear yourself say it out loud and to someone else. Things are always difficult, whether your the only one of a species or far away from home. Everyone has something that makes life in the stars a challenge, how we use those feelings and what we do about them - that’s what’s important. And trust me, there are times I find it hard too - I’m not always so certain.” he added.

“Finally, I agree that storage will be needed. Regarding space for the project,” he began, going through the roster he had to see if there was anything in this cargo bay, and the necessary space needed. There was some room in this cargo bay, but he wasn’t sure if it would suffice for what Catt needed. “Computer, which cargo bay currently has the largest amount of space available?” he asked.

Catt flicked a ear and looked at Starr as he spoke. “It…”, and she stopped herself. “Any input you have would be welcome of course. “,

“It’s nothing,” Starr replied as he awaited the computer’s response. The voice came through the cargo bay “Cargo bay 4 is currently not in use,” the reply came. “Well, as long as it’s OK, I guess it might be a good idea to have a look there” Simon smiled as he responded. “If you need anything feel free let me know” he said, and continued scanning and checking the cargo in their current bay.
