"Xila"

 

******

 

Lieutenant Junior Grade Xila floated down the promenade of space station Deep Space Nine. The AGU that rested on her back was larger than usual, but it didn't particularly bother her. The firepower that the war-designed AGU system held was enough to compensate for the slight discomfort. She was a security officer now and the privileges of her past life were of no consequence.

She glided into the large lift. It was much more spacious than Federation design, and allowed two more officers to join her. Xila blinked, recognizing their uniforms. As they called out for the same docking ring that was her destination, she knew they were officers of the USS Akuza.

One was a Lieutenant...the other, an Ensign. "Greetings," she welcomed them. Although her actual mood was stoic, the AGU on her back translated the words as a gruff and commanding voice. It made the two officers jump slightly. "You are officers of the Akuzi as well?" she inquired, although already knowing the answer.

"Correct," the Lieutenant turned around. He was a Vulcan. "As are you, I presume?"

"Yes, sir." She blinked.

The ensign simply saluted, despite that she was only one rank above him.

"I am Lieutenant tr'Ak, helmsman. This is Ensign Harlen, my assistant."

"My name is Xila...I am the assistant security officer," she watched them closely.

The Vulcan nodded, "I see...a Delpin. I have heard of your kind."

"Fascinating," Xila proceeded to ask about this Vulcan further, but doors slid open. She glided down the corridor towards her new assignment.
