Luna was just finishing un packing there few belongings as she noticed the time. She had invited Damion Lazol over for dinner so she could meet this man Cerenity seamed to have beheaded. She preferred to do so on her terms however as he was a scientist and she did not particularly like scientists. But for cerenitys sake she would give the man a chance.

Cerenity had picked dinner tonight to no surprise to her they were going to be having pepperoni pizza. She hoped Lazol would be ok with that if not she could always use the replicator and make something else for him. Luner the ensigns pet owl was happily asleep on one of manny pirches that were littered all over her qurters. She half wondered if Lazol would actually show up. She had. An odd feeling that he preferred to stay in his area and meet people on his terms as well.

Lazol had received the invitation and thought it was rather quaint. The little girl how had been a curious little thing that had managed to get into his labs was inviting him to dinner. He chuckled and thought that it would be rude to ignore the child, especially after giving her a flamegem. First meetings were never something he took for granted, he slipped his antique 2250’s era d’k tahg into it’s sheath on his left side (a perfectly sharp blade, the design was one of his favorites), having been without his body guards Lazol never took a risk he didn’t need to take, and heading into the home of someone unkown was certainly a risk. He gathered a few things and headed his way down to the Ensign’s quarters. Now the Ensign, well, she was a tricky one. She was unique among humans, having wings was certainly not anything he had seen before and the one that had been given to him by the little girl was certainly curious to him. He had first thought to analyze it but instead put it in a glass case for future study. He arrived and rang the chime, wondering what awaited him.

Lazol, CSO

Cerenity answered the door. ” Lazol! Mommy mister Lazol is here!” Cerenity called promptly do opening her wings and freaking off. She took off so fast she almost smacked her head on the sealing. ” Cerenity what did we talk about.” Luan snaped coming into view. Cerenity giggled and hovered at eye level.

Luna shook her head. ” sorry about that I was picking up a mess, pets are wonderful things. Please come in” Luna said quietly stepping back. So Lazol could enter. The living are was space of decoration there was a few pictures about most of them being of Cerenity. There were a few that had Luna, loki and cerenity. And there were several pitched and bird toys scattered about the space. On a pitch on the far side of the room was a barn owl simply watching.

Lazol looked around as one in high society might guage a room and the social status of the one who occupied it. He didn’t say much beyond a bow and a thank you as he picked up a few of the photos to look at them before setting them back down. “Oh not a problem at all ensign. I found myself well acquainted with your daughter in my labs during a unscheduled maintenance cycle.” He said as he turned to face Luna, his tone a placating one.

Cerenity smiled at Lazol. ” Thats daddy Mommy was happier befor the shadow took him.” She said. Luna put a hand over her eyes and shook her head she was unwilling to even deal with Cerenity’s stamint at this point.

” im sorry about that. She out smarted me again maniges to take apart several holoemiters around them Minits.” Luna said and embarrassed look on her face.

” I hope pizza is ok Cerenity picked it i can replicat something else of you like. What would you like to drink” Luna said as she gestured to the table set up for three people pizza in the center there were no drinks yet but she was headed to the replicator to fix that.

Lazol put on a smile and said, “I’ve never had this, pizza, as you call it. I’m interested in discovering it for the first time hmm?” He said as he sat down first and said, “A glass of Romulan Ale on the rocks would be lovely, thank you.” He watched the child happily dancing and fluttering around and said, “I heard you got those flame gems to glow properly? Tell me, what frequency of light did you use?”

Cerenity smiled dissapering to her room and coming back with the flame gem. ” im not totally sure what kind of light it was we were in the holodeck during one of the training exercises that mommy had to go to it was a low light situation and I think and outside environment” she said

Lazol looked towards the Ensign with an slight squint. “Bringing young to training exercises is quite a dangerous thing isn’t it?” He said with a calculated smirk before turning to the little girl. “Do you see how it is still sparkling like a bouncing flame? That is because light in the 620 nanometer range gets trapped in the crystal and bounces around for a few days before it dissipates. Good work”

” cerenity has observed such exercises before and it was last minute I did not exactly have a babysitter at the time it was right after she continued into your lab to the holoemiters were still not working” Luna said quietly.

“Why only thats light” cerenity asked.

Lazol smiled at the child and said, “It only reacts to those wavelengths child because the specific structure of these crystals acts like a filter to other light and only hold onto that specific range.”

” I need to tank you for that its entertaed her for hours” Luna said with a smile. Seeing the drink infont of him.

Taking the glass and sipping it he noted, “I’m surprised that a Starfleet officer has contraband so readily available, good vintage though I must admit, and thank you.” He said with a smile, “My pleasure to help entertain, your daughter is something of a curiousity to me, but she is ever so precocious”

Luna giggled ” you have no idea Cerenity once took apart my phaser. She hid in the Jefferys tubes it took my self and the COS two hours to find her” Luna said shaking her head. ” if she wants to do sumthing she will find a way to do it” Luna said.

” I just wanted to know how it worked” cerenity said.

“Child you do need to understand that there are bounds and limits in place for a reason. Understanding how something works is one thing. For example, say I want to know how this ship works. If I took apart the bulkheads I would be sucked into space as my quarters depressurized. Now that is dangerous even if I didn’t know that ahead of time. You are supposed to be curious but you need to understand limitations.” Lazol said, gently chiding the little girl.

Cerenity chose that moment to chime in. ” Mr. Lazol come meet luner mommys had him since befor I was born.” She said happly. Then seamed to think better and called the owl to a closer pitch. The child smiled carefully petting the animal. ” his wings are super quiet to like mine and mommy’s. ” she said.

Lazol rose and walked over to look at the owl, it was an unfamiliar creature that he stayed back from for a moment, “Well hello there creature. She is what now?”

Cerenity giggled. ” his wings don’t make much noise owls are good hunters for there saposid silent flight. He’s a barn owl and he knows lost of tricks” cerenity said excitedly.

He studied the creature and said, “Has this ‘barn owl’ been verified Ensign? Any pet onboard must be verified as non anomalous to be kept in personal quarters. I would be happy to have one of my staff do that for you.”

” No he has not I was unaware. Though there’s no way he’s going to let just anyone get close to him. He may listen to me but he’s still stubborn when he wants to be.” Luna said consurn creating into her voice. ” we will need to find a way to do it that won’t stress him out to much birds are sensitive” Luna added.

“I will set an appointment for you regrading the process. It is fairly standardized and whether or not the bird is sensitive or stressed is not my concern. I will not go out of my way to purposefully harm the creature, but understand I cannot bend the rules on testing.” Lazol said, not wanting to cause undue stress but conveying that the process would be completed as intended.

” He can and will bit you please be careful if you want after Cerenity gose to bed i can introduce you two properly.” Luna warned hoping he would not reach for the animal. That’s what a sudden panicked look crossed her face. ” oh my im so sorry I forgot to introduce myself im Ensign Luna. Its been a long day, full of bird and child antics” she said.
Ensign Luna

Bump

He held out his hand and said, “Pleasure to meet you Ensign Luna, I am Daimon Lazol. Daimon is the title, equivalent to your Captain, and you wouldn’t believe how many people on this ship think that’s part of my name.” He said with a twinge of irritation. As he sat back down he looked around the quarters. “Tell me Ensign, what do you do with your young while you’re on duty? This ship does not contain any facilities for children as this specific ship was refitted for the purposes of the ARU and those, as well as many of the recreational facilities, were removed.”

Lazol, CSO

Luna hesitate befor shaking his hand. ” its nice to meet you as well” Luna said with a smile. ” so do you prefer Lazol then? ” Luna asked wondering since he made a point of mentioning that. She also noted his agitation. Luna tensed her wings opening slightly. Luna could be a little jumpy especially when she had a scientist with in arms reach.” You are welcome to call me luna?” She added Cerenity sat down between the two and started to eat her pizza Luna had dished eveyoone some at this point. ” well the consuler has offered to let her spend time in on the consulting deck and my department head has also offered to watch her from time to time. And a friend gave me a holographic babysitter hopfuly she doesn’t figure out how to bypass the sheald and take the emitters apart again.” Luna said relating again.

” Mr. Lazol where are you from” cerenity asked.

Lazol smiled and said, “Child I am from a planet called Ferenginar. It is a dreary world covered in rain and muck. It is about 60 light years from Bajor, and a little ways away from the Badlands.”

Ensign Luna

“Luna it is, and yes Lazol would be preferable” Lazol replied as he began to eat the pizza, not fully understanding it’s appeal but the child seemed to like it. He finished his slice and downed his glass as he said, “So tell me Luna, what should I expect to find if I were to look into your records?” Lazol quipped, trying to spark a conversation.

Lazol, CSO

” not much a few broken bones, iv only served on the Viking. The rest of my records are sealed i can’t even get into them” Luna admitted. Cerenity happly eat her food then wondered off to play because the adults were talking and she was bord.

Once cerenity had left and Luna could hear the girl playing she gave Lazol a series look. “My records were sealed by section 31. what exactly are your intention when it comes to Cerenity? Why are you so interested?” She asked. The ensign was calm but her poster and words secession she was being protective like most parents would be.

Lazol sat back after finishing his contraband drink and let a wry smile form on his face. “Ah yes, Section 31. The boogeyman of your Federation that is so often blamed for being the evil that people want them to be.” He admired Section 31, they were not so much different then the standard Ferengi when it came to morals. If morality could be bent for profit, it surely could be bent for their mission of keeping the Federation safe. “I have no special interest in your child Ensign Luna, please don’t mistake me for someone in your past.” Lazol said, hinting that he had read some of the files she had no access to. “I don’t know much and before you ask it’s nothing that the ARU doesn’t have access too. If you are looking to have me give you classified documentation I do not have anything beyond what the Section deemed necessary to pass along to the ARU. Regarding your child? I find her a fascination. An intelligent little child with curiosity like hers could be molded into a fantastic scientist and I see myself in a position that I can assist with that.” Lazol sat forward and said, “There is something else. I never had children of mine and as such no grandchildren either. She makes me think of what I never had and in a way, perhaps, I want to foster her interests in a positive way that would see her grow in a positive way where she can channel that curiosity. Do not mistake what I say to be a parental or grand paternal attitude, she is your child and I do not want any responsibility for her nor would I accept it if requested. Just know that I see her as many things. A liability, a risk, a danger, and a curiosity among them. But I also see her as innocent and curious. Know that is how she is seen.”
