Zhanyt had given up trying to locate Alentonis the old fashioned way, so she asked the computer.

Computer: Commander Timothy Alentonis is currently located in the "Brew Continuum", Deck 4, Section 8.

Zhanyt raised her eyes. She wasn't entirely skilled in Fed Standard, but what in the hell is a Brew Continuum. The mess hall? An experimental science lab?

A cafe. A coffee cafe. Well, if he was off duty, that made sense, but she would never understand the human obsession with tea and coffee. Give her a sweet juice any day..

Looking around, she eventually spotted the target of her current hunt.

Rao: Really? How interesting, I just finished my Doctorate myself.

Alentonis: Response

Zhanyt looked at the new ensign, then noted his cybernetic implants. An ex-Borg?

One of odd things about moving to any colony that was part of the Confederation is no matter where you went, you inevitably saw one of the few things that began to make you debate the price of order vs safety. For example, even Kthizao had a few protests when the CA had dictated that no city could be made with experimental methods. While there had been *some* violence, the resulting overreaction from the Confederacy had seen a hundred protestors dead, and a thousand injured.  As a few protestors had been Federation citizens, it had drew a sharp rebuke from the Federation Secretary of the Exterior, and a series of committees were in session to draw up a better protest policy.

But given the mindset of the people in the Colonial Authority, no one with any sense expected change at this point.  And seeing that forced one to think about why people feared anything. And in that way, she couldn't hate the ex-Borg. Almost 99.99% of all victims assimilated by the Borg were done so unwillingly, and it is rather rude to blame the victims for the acts of the sentients who victimized them.

That said, she had to still tamp down the instinctive reaction.  There was just something unsettling about the implants.  She turned her gold eyes to the pair. The rainbow ponytail was drawing some attention.. but then again, as a 7' 2" woman, she was used to drawing some attention anyway.

Lafizatar: ::brings herself to attention, barely restraining a salute:: Sir. Ensign.

Rao: Response

Alentonis: Response

Lafizatar: I was told to report to you for a room allocation.

Rao: Response

Alentonis: Response
