For a brief moment, Zachariah forgot all about Logan and their reason for visiting containment. This was the first time the captain had come face to face with Carroll and, in truth, the flowers were…mesmerising.
Leaning in, his eyes fixed upon the leaves, currently swaying in what appeared to be a deliberate pattern. “Well, will you look at that!” he exhaled, nodding to both Surda and Logan. “Is it trying to talk to us? What do you think it’s saying?”
- Captain Zachariah Cobb
Surda tilted her head, deciphering the signs. “Meet, good. New people fun. play, want.” She spoke in Orion, unable to translate the signs directly to English. She corrected the grammar and made full sentences before speaking in English again. “She says it’s nice to meet you. New people are fun, and she’d like to play a game.”
-Surda, CoS/Flower Translator“Well sir like Surda did translate it for us the anomaly does like new people. Loves to meet them and loves to play. If I am correct, sir, she’s wanting to come out and play with us. But as a suggestion. I don’t trust the anomaly because we don’t know what she’s wanting to do with us. And besides what if she wants to kill us. You never know what she is capable of. Surda with all do respect I understand that the translator is here but I can easily read thoughts even though I maybe a human I can read thoughts.”

Surda crossed her arms, transforming from faintly amused to commanding. “At attention Ensign.” She waited for a moment, noticing when Ensign Forricci scrambled to stand at attention as well. “Not you Forricci. Let’s have a chat, Logan. For one thing, I am not your friend, nor am I at your rank. If you wish to refer to me, I am either Lieutenant Surda or Chief Surda. Secondly, with all due respect, I am not a translator. The Captain wanted to know what Carroll said, and at no point did either of us ask you to make a judgment.” The two were exactly the same height, so she stood directly in his view and met his eyes. “Now would you like to look me in the eyes and tell me I seem like the kind of person who lets an anomaly out of containment because it asked?” She knew each of her officers was listening in, and she didn’t envy Logan if he made enemies of them here.
-Surda, CoS
“I’m sorry if I stepped out of line. I uh dont know what to say. Maybe I should just keep my mouth shut before I get into anymore trouble or issues around here. I will just watch from now on until i am asked to speak.” Logan said. He just then stood there quietly and not said anything. He then looked at the Lieutenant Surda and just keeps his mouth shut completely.
