ON

Velah had decided to take Sassi to the Lounge nearest the Docking area for the Hyperion; she had been taken down to the 11th hour in her packing but things were done and two shipments designed; one to Earth and the other to the ship. It was now just a matter of moving about to get to the ship and hope THAT man showed up t see his daughter.

Having gone over the records of her department Velah noted a new counselor coming on board as well, that would be a nice change as she will not have talked to Daniel and gotten an impression yet. Sassi had her small weekend bag with her and was on pins and needles to see her father. It was nice to order her a burger and fries with a sensible drink just to give the girl something to do other than ask a million questions.

Noticing a face that she knew Velah motioned as she Spoke. 'Counselor Rynn." She smiled. "Please come have a seat." SHe stood. "Seems we are both waiting to board, I am the new CMO."

Zhara had been reading over the crew roster to familiarize herself with the senior officers when she heard her name. She looked up and smiled. "Hello," she said, standing and walking over to the woman, a white Husky at her side. "Just Zhara, please." She smiled warmly at the two women. They looked much alike. Mother and daughter, she assumed. "Doctor, a pleasure. I assume this is your daughter?"

"This is my daughter Sassi." Velah said with a smile. "SHe is a little excited about the new command."

"All I remember is the Station Mom, it will be fun to have some change." Sassi looked up from her burger. "I am told being on a star ship will be much more fun."

"I do not know if it will be more fun, but it will be a different sort of fun," Zhara said to the girl. She indicated the dog at her side. "This is Sophia."

the dog wagged her tail.

Tristan heard the announcement that the USS Hyperion was scheduled to arrive soon. He didn't want to miss it, so he appeared early. With his Starfleet Intel Gray Uniform on, and his Gestari blade strapped to his back, he walked over to the seating area. In one arm he held his bag and, in the other, Jinx in her small cage he took a seat.

Zhara noticed the cat in the cage, then looked up to the man holding it. "I believe he is our new Chief Intelligence officer."

"I thought Klingons were the ones to openly carry sword things?" Sassi asked quietly. "I hope he is not going to carry that all the time?" Her eyes were a bit wide.

"That would be up to the Captain," Zhara said. "And the gentleman with the sword. But you can be assured that if he is allowed to wear it on board, it will be safe."

"Maybe you should invite him as I was just going over the Medical department and that is how I knew you on sight." Velah said honestly.

Can I pet Sophia?" Sassi asked. "If she is hungry she can have a piece of my burger..." She said before Velah could stop her with a motherly warning glance.

"You can pet her," Zhara replied. "But your mother does not wish you to feed Sophia."

The counselor glanced over at Tristan. "Please, join us. We're waiting for the Hyperion as well."

Sassi took the chance to pet the dog; her smile radiated as she felt her hands going through the soft fur. "She is so soft and pretty." Sassi complemented.

"She is," Zhara said, smiling at the girl. "She enjoys the attention, too."

Sophia licked the girl's hand and wagged her tail again.

"That is so not fair they allowed her to have a dog." Sassi kept petting the dog and grinning.

"And I have you My pet." Velah smiled as she said it.

Mom..." Sassi replied quickly and in the teen curt sarcasm. "That is not nice."

"On Earth My Pet is actually a term of endearment." Velah gave that knowing smile. "Your PADD will verify it?"

Sassi knew when her mother was bluffing; she did not have to look that up to know the answer. SHe looked at the dog and gave a pout. "Think they know everything..." She whispered to the dog."

"Parent's traditionally are." Tristan added, standing by the table with his bag and cat cage in hand. "It comes from years of experience of being a child themselves." He smiled and gave the group and nod. "Tristan Balor. Chief of Security and Tactical. Honored."

"The pleasure is mine." Velah smiled. "I am Velah, chief Medical officer and the young and the young lady is My daughter Sassi Divaro." She gesture to an open chair. Please join us Mr. Balor we are all just waiting the docking of our new shared home."

"And I am Zhara. I'll be the new counselor on the Hyperion." She nodded to the dog. "And this is Sophia."

The dog thumped her tail in acknowledgement.

An announcement came over the comm system that the USS Hyperion was now ready for crew to begin boarding.

"It has been a delight to talk to you," Zhara said, snapping her fingers for Sophia to come to her. "I hope to see you around the ship." She smiled to the other three and turned to make her way onto the ship.
