Xalanth had been beyond busy getting the ship secure and helping over everyone over. Now the task was over and he could hand operations over to his underling on C shift. Now he could relax in his family's quarters for a while and that he was doing. After moving the couch so it faced the door he was now relaxing with a nice cold drink. The girls themselves were finishing putting the last of their things away as was T'para.

Just as he was about to take a sip of his drink the door sounded causing the lizard to pause. " Who is it?" he politely asked.

A short time had passed since the crew had boarded the Juno. And Avril was wasting no time taking up Xalanth on his officer. She was close to her family back home, and it was very nice of him to offer her a glimpse into his home.

"Lieutenant Taylor," called out Avril, showing up a little unexpected.

" Enter." The dragonian said as he looked at the door. Smiling he stood up as the human stepped inside. " Hello there Taylor hope you don't mind the heat." The lizard said as he stood up and offered his hand.

Avril felt the heat wave rush out of the quarters when she walked into his quarters. "I'll adjust," she said taking a look around. He had a family suit, she only had a single staff level quarters, which was a little smaller. She noticed a few Vulcan characteristics to the room, and other alien characteristics to the room, little knickknacks that were probably dragonian. She not sure. "I love the esthetics of the room." She said with a smile on her face.

" Thanks, vulcan and dragonian goes well together. " T'para said as she emerged from the main bedroom. She was wearing a black tanktop and tight-fitting black trousers with her bare feet touching the carpet. " Nice to meet you Taylor." She said as she offered her hand.

" Are you coming out and going to say hello. " Xalanth said over the woman's shoulder to the smaller children's room. A small reptilian snout was poking around from around the door obviously observing the stranger in her home.

What stepped out from behind the door was something that would make anyone pause for thought. She looked mostly like her father only with a brighter red skin pigment. Her head was were her mother's side crept in. She had one of her mother's bright blue eyes only with an obvious borg implant surrounding it. The other being replaced with a horrific looking implant. Her mouth opened and something that might have been words came out. She paused before she started signing in federation basic.

" Hello."

" Taylor this is are youngest Travla. She's not had an easy start to life, but she's a fighter just like her mother." Xalanth said as he walked over to the small reptile. She came up to just above his waist and smiled as her dad hugged her towards him.

"Please call me Avi or Avril, please not Miss Taylor or Lieutenant, when off duty. After hours, I prefer to be less formal." Said Avril, waiting to see if Dragonian customs would allow him to do that? She was still learning his ways, as much as he was probably trying to learn her ways.

" Okay Avril." Xalanth replied with a grin.

"Hello Miss Travla, I am Avi, it is a pleasure to meet you." She said, looking to see what Travla was going to say.

The small lizard chirped slightly before she continued to sign. " Nice to meet you as well. "

" Travla will you go and get your sister." T'para said tot he small lizard. She nodded and disappeared back into the smaller bedroom. " Thanks for not mentioning her implants. She's very sensitive about them." The hybrid said turning to look at the human.

"Implants are an extension of a person, not the personality of a person, but in anycase, your welome." She said not sure how to respond. She noticed the implants, but they were not a big deal, or something for her to mention. She felt a little sad, that Travla, was sensitive about them.

" When's she's older they say they can remove them and fix what they did to her brain. Till then she has to deal with them. Still, we wouldn't change her for the world." T'para replied watching the door where her daughter had disapired behined.

"Kids are adorable," she said with a grin. "I am so happy starfleet is allowing families to go on this grand adventure." She suggested, wishing her siblings could come. She was going to miss them all, and she had no desires at this time to find a partner and start a family of her own. Her career was just starting.

" We're glad they could come with us. I'd hate to leave them with my parents. " Xalanth responded as the door opened again. Travla stepped out followed by another reptile. She looked just like her sister only with two bright blue eyes and a black streak on her head scales. Without the implants, you could also see her ear holes had slight tips around the top corner.

" Avril this is Yazar are oldest and the first dragonian hybrid ever." Xalanth said as the hybrid stood next to him. " Hello." Yazar said waving slightly her arms holding a book tight to her robed chest.

"Hello Yazar, my name is Avril or Avi if you prefer." She said trying to the get the niceties out of the way. She really wanted to get to know Xalanth, T'Para and their family.

" Nice to meet you Avi." The young hybrid responded offering her hand. Travila tried speaking again through her mother quickly translated. "Travila wants to know if you need a drink?"

A nice cool glass of water, sounds nice," she said, realizing how warm it really was in the room.

The small lizard nooded, let out something that might have been a sequel and ran over to the replicator. She quickly pushed a few buttons and a few seconeds later a glass of water had been replicated. Walking slower she walk back to Avril and handed it over.

"Thank you Miss Travila." Said Avril as she grabbed the glass and took a drink from it.


"This is Commander Bers to all senior staff. Briefing in the observation lounge. In ten minutes" called out the first officer over the intercom badges of Xalanth and Avril.

"Duty calls." Said Avril as she took another big gulp of water before putting the glass on the table.

Giving a sad look to his family the dragonian Xalanth grabbed his jacket and headed for the door. Pausing to catch his phaser and holster that his mate had chucked him he hurried out the door following the flight officer.
