Ensign Zenno - Water Dancing

[Cobalt Penumbra]

((Bridge, Deck 1 -- U.S.S Arrow))

Zenno: That is very interesting! You are only the third person I have met on board. I did speak very ::pause:: briefly with the Captain and then with my new commander. I fear I have not made a terribly good impression with either of them. My old Section Chief would likely say that I didn't "vibe" with them. I'm sure I must have made grievous errors in the meetings somehow. ::shrugs:: If I may ask, what do you on the ship?

Waters: First impressions cannot be altered, but synergy can develop given time. ::beat:: It must, or a crew cannot trust or function. ::beat:: My primary role is to inform. I keep apprised of happenings within the Aisles, study information on cultures, dynamics in the region, and act on it as necessary to assist the crew in achieving its goals here.

Zenno: Thank you for that kindness. Do you think that in your new role, you might have to work with the Security Team? Would we be working together?

It appeared to the Bolian that the Human was surprised by the question.

Waters: It is possible, ensign. It all depends on the situation, I suspect.

Zenno: I understand. I have taken up too much of your time. I didn't mean to intrude upon your reverie, I should be going. There is much to do. ::Moves toward the turbolift::

Waters: And you, ensign?

Zenno turned, slightly confused.

Zenno: Commander?

Waters: Do you foresee yourself working with me during your tour of duty?

Perhaps the stillness of the bridge and this unexpected encounter had moved him, but Zenno became pensive.

Zenno: My species is from a water planet, if you didn't happen to know that. Water is in our cultural bones. Our earliest rituals and ceremonies were about it. Our language has many hundreds of terms for water. It would be ::searches for a word:: auspicious to work with one so named, Commander. It would be the absolute best of luck. ::smiles and slight bow::
