LtJG Alexander: I've Got A Surprise Or Two Up My Sleeve

[Dassa Alexander]

((Shuttlebay One, USS Gorkon))

::Dassa followed the Captain into the shuttlebay, her gaze drawn to the small craft already being pulled in by the tractor beam. A loud shimmering sound filled the expanse of the room.::

Reynolds: Are you ready?

Alexander: ::grins wryly:: As ready as I'm going to be.

Reynolds: I can't say I'm looking forward to it, myself.

Alexander: ::murmurs:: As my grandfather always says, "the way out is through".

::Released by the tractor beam, the bottle-green vessel alighted with a gentle thud on the deck, and it was only a short time before the door to the shuttle opened, discharging the ambassador and her aides.

::Dassa stiffened at the sight of the woman, unable to help herself. She herself didn't have any reason to dislike as a whole. She knew that. But that was the curse of being connected so intimately with Lael. Some of the younger woman's prejudices just naturally leaked through.::

Talana: Fleet Captain Reynolds. How delightful to see you again. 

Reynolds: Ambassador. Allow me to introduce one of my officers, Lieutenant Junior Grade Dassa Alexander.

Alexander: ::smiles and nods:: Ambassador.

Talana: A pleasure, Lieutenant. ::She smiled again.:: What is it that you do aboard the ship?

Alexander: I work in Sickbay as a Medical Officer, ma'am.

Talana: A curious choice for a diplomatic assignment. ::She paused.:: But I forget, Starfleet expects all of its officers to be able to comport themselves adequately in such situations. I'm sure you'll perform admirably.

::Dassa smiled tightly. Oh, but the woman rubbed her the wrong way. Recalling some of the Romulan she'd gone over with Jansen, she attempted to build a rapport with the woman.::

Alexander: Khlinae arhem. Reh ecurai nnearh llea na siu sa-mnean. (Thank you. I hope you enjoy the time with us.)

Talana:  response

Alexander: Rhanne dochai Rihan khiilalev. (I speak Rihan a little.)

Talana/Reynolds: response
