The dark skinned Caitian looked around as her legs strode forwards, one after the other almost apprehensively, as if the Caitian herself somehow feared the laboratory ahead.
She had been gone on leave for quite some time, spending a few weeks aboard a civilian ship orbiting a highly civilised planet of warp capability. Misana was a little worried about returning to duty aboard the Leviathan, but she was eager to get back to work.
Her intermittent tremor had subsided into a small momentary shake of the hand, an easy to manage feat that didn’t disturb her much. However, her psychosomatic pain remained, though it appeared less frequently than before. It was safe to say that the leave had bettered her, she felt less guilt on the matter of the civilian’s death, and was able to live her life normally.

She turned to the door of her laboratory, hoping that someone had been taking care of her animals, she had thought of downsizing her collection a little… Perhaps giving the low maintenance ones to Crewman Jessie?
Taking a deep breath and looking down upon her four legged friend, she smiled softly. Misana didn’t quite need the dog anymore, at least not for support purposes, but they had become really close companions over the years and she wasn’t about to let go. Her hand hovered over the lock for a while, before she decided it was time to return to work. With one swift movement of the hand, the door opened and she was greeted to the regular smell of her laboratory, home at last!

As the door opened, a small gasp could be heard. “Gracious. You scared me.” The woman, dark hair and crystal eyed, was holding one of the small critter and putting it back in a clean cage. “I didn’t expect anyone.” She latched the cage and brushed her hands on her slacks before coming over to Misana. “I’m Juliet. The Ensign who comes on second shift said I could help any time I wanted. Hope that was all right.” She had no idea who had walked in, but she had guessed her presence would have been a surprise to them.

Misana jumped for a second, she too didn’t expect anyone, much less someone she hadn’t met before. She smiled softly and nodded,
“Yes, that’s fine. I’m Misana Kahl, the only archeologist and anthropologist on this ship! And this is my lab”

She waved for the canine to make its way to the dog bed and sat down by her desk, turning her display on she pondered over some work that had been left for her.

“So, you’re the one who’s been feeding my animals? If so, thank you”

Many times her Italian/human father and had brought flowers to her half Klingon mother. To which Jessie had observed was meant as an apologue  that resulted in slightly less angry and grumpy wife. Sometimes her mother would take flowers to neighbours after a traumatic event or illness. Having researched Caitian similar traditions had hit a blank wall. The young crewman knew little about the Archaeologist, other than she seemed to have a fondness for the creatures she keep in the cages. With no good solid information, Jessie settled on a small bouquet of pink lilies she had “acquired” from one of the botany labs and a bottle of replicated chocolate milk.  Carrying one item in each hand, she entered the lab after the doors slowly opened. 

Stopping short as she entered, the tall quarter Klingon hadn’t excepted either officer to be in the lab. Jessie had planned just to leave the items on Misana’s desk as a welcome back gift. Crooked, jagged teeth flashed into a warm smile behind the Klingon’s sun kissed skin. Her jet black cane rows hung loosely yo the middle of her back and swung side to side as she approached the pair. “Welcome back Ensign Kahl. How are you Counsellor Synthi-er?”
