((Security Chief’s Office., Deck 11, USS Chin’toka, Spacedock 1, Earth))

The hybrid glanced at zhen terminal, confirming the statement. Returning zhen gaze to Dasal, Is’Kah slightly tilted zhen head, zhen voice still a monotone.

Is’Kah: Shame, I was wanting to make a super soldier baby. Their power? Being super cute. Then again, all babies are like that already.

Zha took a sip of zhen tea, primarily to hide the smirk that was threatening to form.

Dasal: That's adorable, Chief. Also, I’m not sure all babies are. I kind of was a ugly potato according to my brother. I think that’s the right fruit, that’s a fruit right?

The hybrid nodded before zhen next question.

Is’Kah: What drew you to medicine and later genetics?

Because genetics are fascinating! :: His whole mood seem to shift into confidence:: I am born of my parents but look at me. I am nothing like them or my brother. My hair, natural. It grows like this because of the pigment in my hair. My eyes ::pushing his hair out of the way to show two different colored eyes:: also just wanted to be different. This is natural, all of it. Just my genes wanted to do some weirdness and how is that not amazing. The very essence of a person and how it makes someone up and what it changes to make up a completely new person. It’s so fascinating and beyond well, most people could ever imagine.

Leaning forward, Is’Kah folded zhen hands and placed them on the deck. It reminded the hybrid about zhen days in engineering and how zha would gush about a piece of gear that just arrived. Zha started to wonder if he had been given any information about the crew or ship.

Is’Kah: This is a two-way conversation, Ensign. Please feel free to ask questions about the ship or me.

Dasal: Oh sorry- um yes! Conversation, I’m good at those. Hum can I bluntly ask your heritage? I’m guessing Trill but something more. Is that why you asked for this handsome Doctor of genetics because you got some weird ones too? Not that it’s weird of course!

oO He isn’t wrong about being handsome. Between the tattoos and that white streak… nope, don’t think like that. You’re on duty. Oo

Is’Kah: I am a hybrid of Trill and Vulcan. I had looked into how that was possible when I was a child. It was fascinating.

Dasal: I kind of agree, and understand. It’s a way to learn about yourself beyond what you can see. Like guts!

He gave Is’Kah a warm smile as the nervous air had started fading, judging by his body language.

Dasal: Is security hard? I kind of thought if I failed out of med school I would try my hand at that. I did pretty good with phasers in the one class I did take.

The joke nearly brought a smile to Is’Kah’s face, as zha hadn’t expected to end up on zhen side of the desk in this office. Despite that, zha did enjoy zhen job.

Is’Kah: Security can be stressful, like when you’ve been captured on a mission and guarded by people holding slug throwers. However, if I compare it to holding engineering together with baling wire, space tape, blood, sweat, and tears, it is simpler.

Dasal: Also forgive me, but why the baby joke? I mean, I could probably make a really cute baby genetically…

The question threw Is’Kah off guard for a moment. Giving zhen a moment to think, zha took a sip of tea. Apparently, all the thoughts zha had been having about how children would work had leaked through. Dasal had been a gift from zhen goddess to make sure the child was healthy.

Is’Kah: I have been thinking a lot about genetics. Doctor Edrei was looking into how to blend cobalt and copper blood types to produce a viable child.

Dasal: Response

Zha showed Dasal the holo image of an Andorian woman standing next to Is’Kah.

Is’Kah: This is my partner on our wedding day. It took place on the USS Ronin. I desire to have children with her, without enhancements. Well, preferably they will be taller than I am, as my parents let chance choose for them.

Dasal: Response

Is’Kah held up a hand.

Is’Kah: Medical never held my interest because there was too much blood for me. Can you explain it to me as if I were five?

Dasal: Response
