Marishka wished she had been able to avoid spending several days, in an obscure area of the Orion Nebula, attending to family business. Her grandmother had insisted that it couldn’t have been handled over comms but Marishka had a feeling Olena had just wanted her granddaughter to humor her with her presence.
Upon concluding her business she booked passage on the fastest shuttle out.
Sitting alone, quietly, an Andorian of some means had tried to get her into his private berth. He had looked only slightly disappointed when she had taken the quarters, but not him. His pretty blue skin had given her an idea though.
Several hours later, when the shuttle docked at Starbase 157, Marishka emerged dressed int he guise of a high born Grecian woman. Well fitting sandals laced to the knee, vivid blue chiton, deftly wrapped, tied, and pinned black cord at the waist holding a small pouch, an intricate pale gold and purple stola across her shoulders.
She had decided to make a few changes. Her glorious copper mane was darkened quite a bit with a few streaks and an errant curl showing int he original color. Her hair had been styled into a crown and pinned with laurel leaves done in a muted gold.
Looking in the mirror, she realized that the dark hair and dark eyes were appealing but not quite otherworldly in the way that humans had once described her. So, she changed that too.
Her sclera were now a vivid violet and her irises silver.
Being Orion and Klingon had many advantages and it would be a shame for her not to use them all.
Stepping off of the shuttle, she encountered the elderly Andorian again. He paused and looked at her for several long seconds.
“Going to take over the station like you took my quarters?” he quipped.
Marishka smiled sweetly and reached up with her right hand to run her long painted nails through the thick hair at the base of his antennae.
“No. And I slept very well thank you. Now go see your grandchildren, I have a job interview.” turning she made certain to go the opposite direction from him as she went in search of the Athena.
