[sb118-valkyrie] Ensign Arthur Strathmore - An Even Taller Zaldan
Arthur Strathmore
Strathmore: I specified to the replicator to double the usual size. What’s better for a perfect day out on a new world?
Lennai: Couldn't agree more.
She reached forwards and took the hat from him before propping it up on her head. She turned from left to right in an exaggerated motion, and the hat immediately bumped into the doorframe, causing her to wobble and then step forward.
Lennai: Well, since I'll be rocking this thing for the duration of our trip, I suppose I should get used to my new head circumference sooner rather than later.
Arthur laughed again.
Strathmore: For sure. ::He gestured down the hall:: After you.
Lennai: Yes, let's get going. What was this place called again?
Strathmore: Aelkuun.
Lennai: That's right. Sorry, my mind has been so boggled with this ship. I'll spare you my ranting and raving for now, until I get bored and decide to not spare you.
Strathmore: You’re fine, Vaysha. I would argue that’s a good portion of what my posting is all about: listening to crew members rant and rave.
Arthur smirked. She nodded and followed him.
(( Transporter Room 3, Deck 8 ))
They had taken the turbolift to Deck 8 and entered Transporter Room 8. There, manning the nearby console, was a tall (taller than even what was usual) Zaldan. Arthur looked to the Zaldan’s neck and saw that he held the rank of Petty Officer First Class.
oO More people on this ship that I don’t know. Oo
The Zaldan spoke gruffly.
Petty Officer: Misters…
Arthur knew that Zaldans hated niceties and spoke matter-of-factly.
Strathmore: Two to beam down.
The Zaldan didn’t look up from the console.
Petty Officer: …Where?
Lennai: Response
Strathmore: Sounds delightful.
Lennai: Response
Petty Officer: …Aye.
The pair stepped atop the transporter platform while the Petty Officer ran the calculations.
Strathmore: Energize.
Arthur saw the Zaldan slide an option on the LCARS upwards before light enveloped the pair. Then as suddenly as the light came, it left and what remained was Aelkuun.
Lennai: Response
