Sarik had just took his plomeek soup from the replicator when he saw someone he didnt know enter. He kept to his self as for now. THere was no reason to get to know him unless he was interesting for his tasks. He defenitly wanted not to engage in the small talk like humans often did so he started drinking his soup pretending he was busy.
Charles arrived to the mess hall to grab something to eat, he just left Melissa in their Quarters and suddenly he felt a rupture in his telepathic shield, he looked over the one that had caussed the rupture and saw a Lt Jg Pretending to be bussy he decided to go and say hi
" Hello Lt, Im Lt Jg Atwood The new Chief of Intelligence...How do you do?", He said while he offered his hand The vulcan looked up at the man. "Sarik, Chief Science officer. I bid you welcome on this ship." He looked at him and then back at the soup. If he was in for small talk he could better leave, Sarik thought, but he looked again, Chief intel, at that age? "Please sit down."
"Thanks, Yup... I'm Half Betazoid and well The position was there so I took it", he said trying to be humble and taking the seat sarik offered him
"Fascinating, a Betazoid. I never heard of allowing emotions to direct the intel operations, but its interesting. Tell me, you werent chief intel before, what did you do before you came here? I mean did you defect with a ship or didnt at all?" He was getting curious.
"Well I defected with Alm Picard onboard the enterprise and i was Chief Engineer Officer in Qul Tuq untill Yesterday", He said "And You?"
"I never defected. My choice was logical, since the federation coup my fait in the federation declined so I resided at Vulcan where I took up my old way of living. It wasnt until Captain Hunter had asked me as a friend that he was in serious need of a science officer, that I considered and took the option." He looked at the intel officer. "My point is not to defeat the federation nor anyone else, I am on board to create dialogue between those who cant. I am here because I believe my scientific input will contribute significantly to the ship and I am here because Hunter asked me."
Charles Looked at the Lt and he said "Interesting Point of view, I think that the path that Alm Aldous is taking could end this civil war and I hope that it does but we have to go a long way to get there...For now Intelligence is the place where I can Serve best the Alliance so here I am", He said Lookin straight to the Vulcan's Eyes
"As former chief engineer that must be quite a change but I have confidence in the judgement of Hunter." he was silent. "A peacefull path is always a good path. Once relations are established there is a whole lot more open. In the long run we will gain only by peace."
"Yes of course... and it wasn't that change since I was on the Black ops Away team while onboard the enterprise...If I may say so I missed the Action", He said
"Action is not relevant. If that is your goal here, just to be out here for action you might as well board the next klingon friegther to the cardassians. One should remain focused on the things he does, and not persist a goal that cannot be attained because a desire for action only requests a more desire for action. "
"Very Logical vut you must remind life it's not just logic Lt... Ok, Nice to meet you I got an appointment with the Captain in an Hour... Bye", He stood up and ofered the Vulcan his Hand
The vulcan was baffled. the human just stood up in the midst of the conversation. That was not really polite of him. although he may have had an appointment with the captain, still this rudeness was unknown. His logic told him to act polite to save all consequences so he shook the hand as humans did, strange. He never would get accustomed to humans, and in this not even betazoids.
Charles Exit the mess hall thinking that this Vulcan would be a very interesting person to know, but after all he still had to meet the captain
