(USS Illuminar - Deck 2 - XO’s Office - FO Commander Sienna Verin - 1609)

Sienna watched the two officers, her eyes narrowed as she attempted to
sense their commitment to Starfleet's secrets.  After both Ensigns had
spoken affirmatively, Sienna nodded to Temas, "Luma, please manifest in my
office, please."

Luma shimmered in the holo-emmitters, appearing first as a 6 foot tall
snowflake, then changing to her more common form.  A purple cat-girl,
dressed in a sundress.  Her purple eyes glistened as the Lenai stared at
her new small ones.  Sienna allowed them to watch Luma in silence, letting
the Lenai speak first.

The sound came from the communications system, surrounding the corporeal
beings in Sienna's office. =^= Welcome, new small ones.  This one is Luma
of the Lenai, and the ship known as the Illuminar is Luma's skin.  Luma was
rescued by the then Captain Vanyssa Winters of the Mystique and the
Commander Saleke, the Vanyssa's First Officer.  The not-intelligent bad
ones of the Starfleet 'Intelligence' declared Luma as anathema and Luma was
trapped aboard the Mystique which was trapped at the Utopia Planetia near
Mars in the Earth's Sol System.=^= Luma peered at the small ones, a bit
concerned that they were still with her.

=^=  Luma requires a bond-mate, a telepath of considerable skill to provide
an anchor to her.  Our Temas is Luma's bondmate.  Our Temas' job is to
smooth the way between the corporeal small ones and Luma. =^=

Sienna nodded, "And that is the secret of the Illuminar.  Luma is not an
AI, she is a being that inhabits this ship.  When the inevitable clashes
occur, Temas, I, the Captain, or any of the other senior staff can assist.
One thing to note - Luma feels pain when the ship is repaired or damaged.
One of the tasks we have been working on is a sort of anesthesia. Mr. Torek
you will be assisting Lt. Bohb, our chief engineer with this and Counselor
Laredo.  Ensign, as a pilot, you might have occasion to notice that Luma
will take control of the conn from you in an emergency.  Are there any
questions so far?"

(reply Laredo, Kestral, Torek, any)
