Raauhl made a mental note to replicate Casela something nice when he finished, he figured he’d do as much since that interview. Next time he’ll just roll the interview in with medical or ask Captain Cobb to do it. Letting out a sight the next interview wasn’t going to be any easier, in his preparation he even had a copy of rules of acquisition and the Starfleet manual on dealing with ferengi just in case. While Mr Lazol wasn’t actually required to undergo the MPAR his department was.

Lazol wanted to figure out just how he could get out of this mess. Well, he saw it as a mess anyways. Reports were something that he never enjoyed and Starfleet always found a need for them when it came to ‘how someone was doing’ or ‘how a department was performing’ Lazol didn’t give two targ’s rear ends about the minutia of how it was run as long as he got results and the profit flowed in. So far this adventure with the ARU was paying off as the research was making him a pretty penny while his small fleet continued to do business elsewhere. The reports he had were slim in nature and he was in the middle of an experiment when his reminder came through and he shouted something rather unpleasant in his native tongue before yelling at his subordinates to take over and that it’d better be complete by the time he returned. He approached the room and simply entered without ringing the chime or anything so formal. He approached the desk and sat down, sliding the rather scant reports to the XO and said, “Well?”

“Well” Raauhl said his face remaining calm and collected, he new this interview was going to be far different to anything he’d ever have done. “Well You’re here so that’s a start I really thought I’d receive a message saying you had Dorek syndrome before making a miraculous recovery. So thankyou for coming” He took the reports and put them to one side. “I’m aware that you technically do not fall inside the guidelines for an official report and therefor this is going to be more of a conversation, see how you’re settling in and how your department is adjusting. Do you have any questions before we get started?

Lazol filed the suggestion of Dorek syndrome for next year and thought it was rather brilliant all things considered. He smiled and leaned back in his chair and said, “Do you want me report as spoken like a Ferengi or as I’m pretending to be a Starfleet Officer?” He asked a little crassly even if it was an honest question. “As a Ferengi I can tell you that I’ve increased the department’s profit margins from ‘non-existent’ to ‘bringing in a decent income’. Workplace injuries are down despite the increased productivity and focus on profit, and I only lost one NE to Dave this last quarter.” He said without a hint of irony, even if it was a joke. “As a Starfleet Officer? It took a little while for my crew to fully wrap their heads around the idea that yes, I am the boss and yes, we would be doing things my way. Experiments and studies have so far produced a sizable amount of data as I feel that allowing my crew to operate in fields the excel in allows them the freedoms to explore the more fringe ideas that they have.” Lazol sounded more relaxed as the meeting was more of a conversation, he stood and replicated himself a glass of wine and said, “Want one?”

“Mr Lazol, I dont think I need to remind you of your own rules of acquisition but I’m going to state Rule number 240, *time like platinum is a rare commodity” and right now you’re wasting mine which is making this conversation very unprofitable for us both, so please sit down and dont drink alcohol whilst on duty. Loose lips sink ships and alcohol is a fine lubricant. You can add that to your rule book too” He leaned back in his chair and waited for the Ferengi to si back down. His next few actions could cost Raauhl to extend his trump cards early on in the game and he hoped it wouldn’t come to that so quickly but already the Science Ferengi officer was testing his patience.

Lazol remained eerily calm as he took another sip and said “Reading the rules are we?” Lazol then finished the wine and sat down and said, “Commander you know damn well that Starfleet replicators don’t have the pleasure of replicating alcohol, they produce synthehol instead. A wonderful little piece of Ferengi invention I’d like to remind you that keeps the taste in your mouth without the mind altering side effects. You seem more testy then usual Commander, and I do not like starting my meetings with contention.” Lazol said heavily as he leaned forward and said, “If you want to start talking about profitability and time than I suggest we take a stroll to my labs where I can show you numerous breakthrough in both science as well as plenty of marketable tidbits that I’m sure you can appreciate. Tell me Commander, when was the last time you graced my department rather than sitting on your cheap throne? Just because I am on your ship doesn’t mean I have to bow down to the prince just because of the number of pips on your collar Commander. Do remember your place. Believe it or not I actually do want to progress the scientific research in the fields of anomalies and while profit is a driving force it is not the entire reason I’m here.”
