After everyone passed security and Chris let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding, he went to the bridge of the Romulan Bird-of-prey. Sitting down in the Captain’s chair he pressed the com. [O]All hands hear this. All hands hear this. Complete your changeover and report to me once all systems are a green. Priority given to Engineering and Tactical. That is all. [O]Captain I forgot his name already! Lol
“Aye, sir…” T’Aria echoed from the helm, where she dragged her fingers over the wave-like script in vertical arrangement that, if not for the context of their mission, could have been mistaken for an earlier Vulcan dialect. It was similar, but was it similar enough? Navigation used starcharts and awareness of a vessel’s orientation in space and time – reference points – that required only basic proficiency in the host language. Other fields, however, did not have such privilege. Had Section 31 outfitted the Bird-of-Prey with a Federation Standard setting? Or would the crew need to adapt to Romulan? T’Aria quirked a concerned eyebrow. Though she did not doubt the crew’s flexibility and ingenuity, she did appreciate the learning curve and potential for grave error that came from navigating an unfamiliar environment with an unfamiliar language under high pressure.
“Captain,” T’Aria turned once she checked nav and helm systems, then located a starchart from which to plot a course to Qo’noS, “navigational and helm systems are operational. Shall I begin plotting a course, or do you have a specific path in mind?”
