The jefferies tubes were always a quiet place to work, free of distractions. Siarram liked when there was something he could repair from in there. He was in one of the horizontal tunnels, sitting on the floor by an access panel, just finishing up a repair. It had been an easy time lately, no urgent things needing work. Instead he was getting things done on the “When Engineering has time for this” list. It made for a nice, relaxing day. He closed up the access panel, finished with this particular job, and then checked his PaDD to see what else was on the to-do list.

Hannah had some down time to herself, Daniel.was busy doing XO things, and she was bored sitting in their quarters. The holodeck we’re free, but she just wanted to move. So taking a small knapsack she was moving through the Jefferies tubes, climbing the ladders. No destination in mind, just climbing for the exercise. It wasn’t as challenging as Rick climbing but it would do. For the moment. She also was planning on keeping her search and rescue certifications so she needed to know her way around the ship.

Heading towards one of the ladders, Siarram looked before descending, and he was glad he did because up came another officer. Someone he recognized, even. “Doctor… Asimina, wasn’t it? What are you doing in here?” He meant it as a curious question, and he was smiling as he spoke. She didn’t look like she was rushing anywhere, and he had a little time to spare.

It was the movement of air above her that made her look up. Her combadge started a patterned beeping as he spoke and she reached quickly with one hand and adjusted something on her implant. “Lt Ch’Thaanaq.” She grimaced internally over the way his name sounded so botched in her voice even though she was very careful in pronouncing it. She hurried up the ladder and moved off to the side and grinned. “Oh well I’m an avid rock climber, but I got tired of the holodeck programs, so thought I would do some climbing around the ship. I checked first, I must have missed there was work in this section. I’m very sorry.”

“Siarram is fine,” he said, offering another smile. And easier to pronounce, he added in his head, though he was used to humans having difficulty with it. “Nothing major, you’re not in the way. Climb all you like.” Siarram didn’t see the point in rock climbing, though perhaps that was his logical side talking. Rock climbing was unecessarily dangerous for a way to exercise in his mind.

Hannah turned a little pink. She knew the look, when people were ‘kind’ because of her disability. She inhaled through her nose and then out her mouth. As always she spoke slowly and made sure to enunciate clearly. “I’m sorry Lt. I didn’t mean to offend. I didn’t hear my first sound until I was 8. It was another year and half until I could speak basic words.” She pointed at one of her implants. “I hear all the nuances in language now, but I can not always form them with my voice.”

She smiled her thanks. “Thank you. I’m also on the rapid response and search and rescue teams. Reading a map and using it to navigate in an emergency isn’t quite the same as being familiar with the Jefferies tubes.”
