Keehani Ukinix - Confidence and Determination

[Wil Ukinix]

((Vataix Estate, Betazed – After the ceremony))


Keehani: ~~Ambassador Vataix.  ::Offering hand, warm smile:: Congratulations. ~~

Vataix: Response

Keehani: ~~ ::Looking around:: Oh, I have my ways. ~~

If there was one thing that Keehani Ukinix inherited from her matriarch-in-dispute grandmother Vaxa, it was the confidence of a Noble.

Not that Keehani actually knew when she was growing up that her grandmother was an ex-noble.  It was only in 2396 that she found out, when Vaxa was diagnosed with an acute neural disorder which was a possible side effect of Empathic Synaesthesia.

After Vaxa subsequently told Keehani, the young Betazoid was furious. The naturally determined Keehani immediately began the long legal process of regaining control of the Ninth House from the appointed administrators.  In truth, disillusionment with Betazoid Nobility was what probably drove her to join The Guardians of Betazoid, a political activist group seeking independence from the Federation.  It was subsequently disbanded when they were linked to the Maquis Reborn, a terrorist group responsible for a psionic attack on Rixx.  Keehani renounced her membership of The Guardians (which all but dissolved anyway), but that didn’t stop her being put on a Federation watch list.

Vataix: Response

Keehani: ~~I will come to the point, Ambassador.  I have recently graduated Exopolitics at the University of Betazed, majoring in Diplomacy, with flying colors.  Through family contacts I have learned of Amity Outpost, and ::handing over PADD with CV:: I would like to join the Federation Diplomatic Corps.~~

Vataix: Response

Keehani: ~~You need me.  I am perfectly qualified for this position, my studies were focused on diplomatic relations with jurisdictions beyond the Federation, I’m a fellow Betazoid, and I’m a hard worker.  ::Confident smile:: The Four have aligned the stars.~~

Vataix: Response

Keehani slowly turned her head and looked at her Human/Betazoid hybrid second cousin Wil Ukinix in the distance.  He was standing next to a short, red-haired fellow Starfleet officer, slowly sipping a beer and for some reason looking a little pale.  He still hadn’t seen Keehani yet.

The corner of the left side of her mouth turned up into a cheeky, proud smile.

Keehani: He doesn’t know.

Vataix: Response
