Day 8

Stardate: 2446.02.08


(USS Illuminar -- Chief of Security Office -- Security Chief Lee.  CPO 3 P’Rah -- 0759)


Chief Lee was supposed to be recuperating from his back pain and he was wearing an exoskeleton over his lower back.  So much for advanced medicine, he thought.  However, he felt well enough to get back to work.  He picked up his cup of tea and took a slip as he was reading the personnel file of the latest edition to the Security team - CPO 3 P’Rah, a Caitian, a race who resembles Earth felines.  Basically, a ‘talking cat’ thought Lee.  He never met a Caitian before 


The door entry chime and the door slide open to reveal the Caitian “I am P’Rah” 


“CPO P’Rah. Welcome.” greeted Lee as he stood up. “Would you like a drink? Use the food replicator” For a moment, Lee thought he might order a glass of milk!


“I’m fine, thank you.”  P’Tah stood there looking at the Security Chief.


“Take a seat.” invited Lee as P’Rah sat down “So how you settling down in Security”


P’Rah took the offered seat as he replied, “Not bad considering this is my first morning here.”


“So,” said Lee as he glanced at P’Rah record on the screen.  He preferred to listen to P’Rah so that he could assess P’Rah’s abilities. “Tell me about yourself.  Why take up a career as a security officer?  What qualities can you contribute to security?”  Lee wondered about the general characteristics of a feline..one quality would be stealth.


“That can be quite a lengthy story.  To be honest, Security is the opposite of my previous career.  I am what you consider a Gutter cat on my home planet.  I had to steal to live.  After I was caught, I was sold to a cargo ship.  After that I found myself on Earth where I hid out in Starfleet HQ. And that is the short version of it all.”


A gutter cat!  On Earth, that would be a cat who goes around in large packs who dive into storm drains when humans are spotted.  Now there may be certain qualities in P’Rah that would definitely be useful - certainly stealth, awareness situation


“I see.” mused Lee.  “So how did you end up hiding in Starfleet HQ to becoming a Security officer?”


“I am not sure how that happened myself.  Things started moving fast.  Someone may say my potential and here I am.”  P’Rah said.


“What qualities in your experience as a..er..former gutter cat..makes you an ideal security officer?”


“That is a good question.  The Aptitude test Starfleet gave me showed Security would be my best place.”  P’Rah paused.  “I guess my experience in my former life of crime gives the insight of crime.  Not really sure what to say here.”


“Have you actually had any practical field experience of working in Security?” questioned Lee.  He glanced again at P’Rah record which didn’t say much other than what was confirmed that P’Rah had said about his experiences of being a..gutter cat..being sold and then spending time in Starfleet HQ.   


“I was just transferred from a previous duty station, I don’t like to talk about it.  I was the scapegoat for everyone.  I often found myself on the other side of the brig shield, because I was not liked.  The Captain assured me that things would be different here.”  P’Rah felt a defensive mode was in order.


“I see,” said Lee. “Tell me when you are not in the brig, what were your duties?”


“Mostly I sat and watched monitor feeds and I went where I was told to go.  I am a Cat of all trades.”  P’Rah said as he never held one position for too long.


“Well, Petty Officer.   As you’re here.  I have to say that I  run a tight team here.  I expect you to follow orders to the letter otherwise you have a second home in the brig.” said Lee, sternly. He glanced another look at P’Rah’s record before pulling up another screen and tapped a few adjustments to the rota. “As of now, you are on the Alpha rota and you are to report to Ensign  Galk who is the Alpha Shift leader who will show you your duties.  I think you find him in the Security Office which is next door. That’s all Mr. P’ Rah. Dismissed.”
