Tak made sure their fur was sufficiently dry before she left their quarters, instructing the children to remain in the living area and not to go into the sleeping area without her there. She walked along the corridor, her tail dragging along the floor as they did so.

The Science officer found her way to the Science Labs and began to ask around for their DH. “Where can they be found? I am here to report for duty.”

Tak, Scientist

BJ wanted to give a sarcastic answer to the officer. Would it be up to regulation; no. Would it be fun; yes it would. “You’d be looking for me. Your report for duty is noted. Follow me to my office for a quick brief about yourself.”

Janzen

Tak’s whiskers fluttered a little as they considered the human. He was interesting, that was certain. They followed as instructed, reaching around to grab their tail and hold the end up to their waist and thus keep it out of others’ ways. They had some experience with tail-less beings not considering tails in their walking paths and treading on the soft tissue. It wasn’t pleasant. Once within the CSO’s office, Tak glanced around for any sign of a chair they could sit on, but alas - all the obvious chairs had backs.

Tak, Science Officer

He saw her hesitation. “Is there an issue ensign? I can make an adjustment if you need me to”

Janzen

“It is fine, I can stand,” they smiled awkwardly. “Your… furniture is not built for me. I hear they had to work extensively on my fighter to adjust it to my needs, I appreciate that. Although I suppose that isn’t your department…”

That not how it should be. “Not my department; yes. I have friends in higher places if I need to. If you want to sit I’ll get some furniture brought in. You’re part of my people. I take care of my people. But, if you’re content to stand I’m good with that.”

Janzen

“Chairs in general are a bit of a newer concept for me,” Tak said sheepishly, reaching up to rub the fur on the back of her neck. “Sitting isn’t really necessary when you’re swimming all the time.”

Ens. Tak

BJ never thought about that much. He grew up beside a lake so he was a decent swimmer. He didn’t think that he could continuously swim that long. “No I guess not. I don’t nearly swim that much. I usually start with describing yourself. But, I think you’ve done that quite well already.” He stopped for a moment to let her take everything that was said.

“I was born in the ocean,” they replied with a slight grin. “It helps when one’s body is naturally buoyant.”

“Let’s begin with what your specialty is. We have all kind of sciences represented. It helps me organize everyone”

OOC: Sorry for the delay. I’ve been dealing with some things this week.

Janzen

“I’m a zoologist, specifically in regards to biochemistry and behavioral sciences,” Tak explained. She tilted her head slightly, recalling her school days. Because of the various requirements of the species of Galdor, schools did not have chairs, instead having height-adjustable desks accompanied by floor cushions.

Tak, Sci

Those were very unique specialties. BJ was interested to see what she would research while on board. “What resources would you need to conduct your research?”

Janzen

“My research requires living animals for study, along with space for their living quarters. I’ve been studying the dynamics of eusocial animals. On Earth those would be ants and bees. On my planet we have boz, bith, tim’puk, and a few other animals. I’ve been studying the differences and similarities between different eusocial animals on various planets.” Tak explained.

Ens. Tak

BJ smiled. He hadn’t had a chance to do much science work himself. “Let’s get that done. I can see if I can get a few hives in the arboretum. Just give me the list of animals you’d like to study and I can make some room. We have the space.”

Janzen

“I appreciate that,” Tak bowed their head briefly. “I would love to get access to Vulcan sand-crawlers, if that is possible. They’re a little smaller than Earth’s red ants and from what I’ve read you can develop a colony in a 5 gallon tank.”

Tak, Sci
