Deggur arrived on the Chernov via shuttlecraft, making his way through the halls until he eventually found the Chief Science Officer’s office. He got several looks as he walked with purpose to meet with his direct superior. He supposed it was strange for an Orion male to be on a Federation starship, and wearing the telltale blue of the Sciences division, to boot. He smirked to himself, and when he caught a few of the crewmates staring at him, he decided to growl. His teeth were cleaner than most Orions, but he had the incisors sharpened for intimidation purposes.

At the office, he pressed the call button on the pad and growled, not realizing he hadn’t softened his voice. “Ensign Deggur, reporting for duty.”

-Ensign Deggur, Science

After almost half a minute a calm voice came from behind the door “Enter” The soft Scottish accent slightly muffled by the door. Upon opening the Ensign would see a thin young human in his early twenties sitting behind a small desk. He was turned slightly to the side and read something on his terminal with mild interest. He absentmindedly put his hand through his carefully parted chestnut hair before looking up “Ah, Mr Deggur. Have a seat” If he was surprised by the unusuality of his giant of an Orion Junior Officer he didn’t show it outwardly.

CSO

Deggur, graciously nodded as he looked slightly dismayed at the chair… he had a rather large frame and was unsure that the seat would hold him as it was built for whatever is considered to be average among Humans. He completely understood, of course. There weren’t many Orions in Starfleet, but that was slowly changing as his people pushed for more rights within the Federation. Realizing that he might be showing his disapproval of the seat on the face, Deggur wiped the expression from his eyes and attempted to sit. He tried not to put his entire weight onto the chair and it turned out to look fairly comical as he obviously looked uncomfortable.

-Ensign Deggur, Science

Will raised an eyebrow as he looked at the Orion sitting down in the clearly uncomfortable seating “Well, welcome aboard Ensign, I’m Lieutenant William Grey your Department head. Now as you probably know the Chernov is a battlecruiser so we don’t get a lot of space here in the Science lab but we make do.” He said giving his console one last glance before turning the display off “So tell me a little about yourself, mostly your area of expertise, experience and reason for dedicating our life to science and Starfleet” He leaned back in his seat slightly and crossed his legs.

CSO

“Thank you, Lieutenant,” the ensign said as he shifted again in his seat. “I’m qualified for Geology, Biology, and Astrobiology as specialties, but I am learned in quite a few fields of study generally. I am always seeking out new opportunities to expand my knowledge in the science fields. Anything that would benefit the ship, and I’ll do my best to understand it. Obviously, there are only a few Orions in Starfleet right now, but more are joining every year. I want to do my best to become an influence to the people of my planet, so that they will know that there are real opportunities out there, outside of the Orion Syndicate and the private sector. That is the main reason I joined Starfleet. The promise to go out into the stars and explore strange new worlds and seek out new life and civilizations. I want to boldly go where no Orion has gone before…”

Deggur hadn’t noticed, but as he said this last bit, he stood up and was basically standing at attention, looking off into the distance.

-Ensign Deggur, Science

“Well… Quite” Will smiled at the Orion “Lofty goals, admirably so. Now I’m afraid I haven’t had time to look at your service record yet, that and I wanted to hear about it from you first.”

CSO

Grey’s response seemed to snap the young ensign out of his reverie, and the large Orion blinked twice. “Oh, well sir, there’s really not much to tell. This is my first official posting. I graduated the Academy with few honors, although I guess that they might be worth mentioning. I did win the Vulcan Scientific Legion of Honor for my thesis on Spacial Disruptions and How They Affect Organic Life-Forms. Apparently the thesis helped save the life of several Vulcans in deep space. Of course, that was before Vulcan was destroyed, sir. I was still at the Orion Academy of Science at the time. It was actually the destruction of Vulcan that prompted me to join Starfleet in the first place. If my knowledge can help prevent disasters like that, then I must go where I can put my skills to the best of uses.”

-Ensign Deggur, Science

William nodded with interest “‘Twas the same for me, I was in Princeton during the San Fransisco attack, I remember watching the live feeds. And I was actually there during the attack two years late, the same year I joined the Academy” He said fairly absentmindedly “Well in any case that’s quite the resume, I guess you can colour me impressed Ensign. A question, do you have a problem taking orders from a much younger officer such as myself?” He asked.

CSO

“Not at all, sir,” the ensign replied, smiling as he did so. His teeth were an impressive sight, with his sharpened canines. “I’m here to do my best, and I understand that there is a chain of command to follow. A question, though? If I have a better idea than what is represented, or think I do at least, then what course of action should I follow, sir?”

-Ensign Deggur, Science

William took a moment to ponder the question “Introduce your idea, it’s easiest to mention it to you immediate supervisor but sometimes you’re forced to say it in front of a crowd. Just don’t push yer luck as they say, there’s a lot of smart people on this ship, never make the assumption that you are the smartest” He leaned forward in his chair “How did you find serving with humans in the academy?”

CSO

“Mostly acceptable, sir,” Deggur answered, taking a second to collect his thoughts. “Mostly, I find humans to be curious. Some are easily intimidated, yet others refuse to fear anything. I have discovered that the ones who are fearful, but overcome that fear are the ones that can find the courage to pull through in any circumstance. And I am lucky to be here.”

-Ensign Deggur, Science

William nodded as if The Orions answer satisfied his curiosity “Alright before we continue do you have any questions fer me ‘fore we continue.” The young Science Chief asked.
