There was a distinct look of surprise that appeared on the Betazoid’s face. “Umm, sure,” she said with a nod. “I’m happy to get a handle on what’s happening dirt side.” It was actually kind of great, but she wasn’t exactly sure how or if to say that. To go an away mission right away was pretty amazing, but she had had plenty of experience over the years with these sorts of situations, so while it had been awhile, she wasn’t worried.
“May I ask about another task I’m interested in?” Reez said.

Tressex looked slightly relieved that she hadn’t protested the assignment. He then smiled slightly as she asked and said “Oh my yes! And just so you know, I have no problem with anyone coming to me to discuss… well… anything, I guess. If you have a interest, let’s hear it.” and he gestured to a chair and then took a seat himself.

With a nod, Mel sat down and folded her arms on the edge of the desk. “I’d like permission to continue to study our gastropod guests while they are with us. I understand that we will try to get them home as soon as it is doable, but in the meantime, I…” She paused and her ebony eyes seemed to be momentarily at a loss for words and her voice shifted to something more reflective. “I started my career as a scientist and along the way I discovered I was a good leader. Command suited me until being a Starship captain didn’t fit my life circumstances anymore. This is my first time back into a formal scientist role and those gastropods”-she leaned in slightly towards him-“they’re very special Lieutenant. More than we’ve even figured out. I’d stake my entire command experience on that gut feeling. And… I’m fascinated. I want to learn more, if I can.” It was the best way for her to put it, but the essential truth was that her awe and scientific spark were truly ignited again after what had been a very tumultuous time in her life. For her, this was a path on the way back to finding herself again.
