((Turbolift Enroute To Engineering, USS Khitomer, Ceram Archipelago))
Velithari Jorogumo Technological Lead Vidya and Engineering Lieutenant Jg. Michaels had made their way to sickbay where they found Jorogumo's Captain Rana. After hearing that the chatty Terran male known as Matthews was recovering in sickbay since his medical examination on board the Jorogumo performed by Vidya, it was decided that it would be best for Vidya to wait outside in the corridor, lest a scene arise from her appearance before him.
Once Lieutenant Michaels had spoken to Rana the three of them made their way to the nearest turbolift to the bridge. Vidya had not spoken with her Captain since their time together in the conference room on deck one. She took this opportunity to ask a question she had and answer any questions her Captain had for her.
Vidya: My Captain ::bowing as they enter the turbolift together::. If I may be permitted? I am curious as to how their medical facilities are different or alike as our own. Were you able to find a solution with their medical doctor that would benefit us against the Sen-Saha?
Michaels / Rana: Response
Vidya: That is pleasant to hear. Are you sure it is safe for us?
Michaels / Rana: Response
Vidya: ::bowing:: Yes my Captain, I am certain you know what is best for the crew of the Jorogumo. As always you have my full trust. ::beat:: You will be pleased to know that Lieutenant Michaels ::jestering in her direction:: and myself were able to assist the male true First Officer and their male assistant. We were successful installing one of their Tor-pee-doughs with five masses of threads using that as a weapon against the Lettuce Alliance. I was told that their bridge will allow us to view the results of that weapon.
Michaels / Rana: Response
Vidya: ::to Rana:: It was… difficult at first working with two males and sharing ideas and thoughts together, but I would be unkind if I did not value their… contributions. What does that mean for the Velithari culture to work with males? Even alien ones. Will the Priestess understand?
Michaels / Rana: Response
Vidya: ::Bowing to Rana:: I understand my Captain. ::to Michaels:: Lattice and Tore? Pe-do? It does not sound like your language would speak it, but very well. Tor--pedo. Torpedo. ::beat:: Torpedo!
The words rolled off her tongue as if it was a funny word one might say standing around at a transportation stop waiting for the shuttle to arrive.
Michaels / Rana: Response
Vidya: ::Whispering:: Torpedo. Tor-pe-do. Torpedo.
((Brief Timeskip. Bridge, Deck 1 - USS Khitomer, Ceram Archipelago))
The doors to the bridge opened. Lieutenant Semara rose up from her place at the intelligence station. Several junior officers that Vidya had not viewed before were either standing or sitting about doing their duties. For reasons she did not know, Semara was smiling. Was she filled with good spirits upon seeing the three of them?
Semara: Welcome to the bridge, Cap'n Rana. :: A quick curtsy. :: Miss Vidya. :: Another quick curtsy. :: A little smile. :: Lieutenant Michaels. Givin' the tour, I see?
Vidya: Yes, she was a most gracious guide. I have observed much upon your vessel. I must say it is ::searching for the right word:: interesting. Your technologicals are different in many ways from the Velithari, but the more time I observe here, I find we have some common threads.
Rana / Michaels: Response
A sweep of an arm and a bigger smile from Semara indicated a desire to guide them around the bridge.
Semara: It seems I have the conn. For the moment. :: Beat :: Some folks call the bridge the nerve center of a Starfleet ship. Metaphorically, 'course. :: A step, then a gesture to the aft MSD. :: Can see ship status at a glance here. Accordin' to these reports, we're just 'bout ready to leave.
Vidya: I see. So soon? I would wish to observe more. But I know that you are not of this nebula and have other duties beyond us.
Rana / Michaels: Response
Vidya's eyes looked about the room, taking it all in. Each console, every sound and the Captain’s chair. It was a lot to take in, but it was what stood out that caught her eye the most. Through the viewscreen she could see several pieces of debris floating about, the largest among them still showing signs of burning light in several spots, each with different colors.
Semara: I've been takin' some scans a' the Leviathan, as well as other wrecks nearby. It'll take some time to go through the data, but there's already some interestin' details... :: Beat :: I hope it ain't somethin' that ever happens again. :: A slower breath, turning back to the guests :: How have you been findin' your tour?
Vidya: ::looking at the view screen while she talked:: I am well. Is that ::gesturing at the shipwreck graveyard:: the results of the torpedo? The one with thread masses that Lieutenant Michaels and myself assisted?
Rana / Michaels / Semara: Response
Vidya: I see. Seeing our threads working with your torpedo, it gives the Velithari hope that we may one day use your torpedo technological to deliver our threads as we have on your Khitomer. If any more of this alliance should return, we will be well prepared.
Rana / Michaels / Semara: Response
Vidya: Yes of course, with your permission. ::to Rana:: To which I am confident our two Captains can make such an arrangement? ::turning to Semara:: The data? Would you permit sharing its contents with us? It would aid us greatly to know more about what is left of their vessels.
Rana / Michaels / Semara: Response
