(USS Illuminar - Deck 2 - Officer’s Mess - CSRD - Lt. Bohb - 0906)

Before “Kestrel” could answer his question about her prosthetic Tegian Pex arrived and garnered everyone’s attention.  He had had conversations with Tegian about the woman across from him.  However he was disappointed that his inquiry went unanswered.


“Good morning.  May I join you three, please?” Tegian asked.



“Of course, Lieutenant,” Piripi replied, indicating the seat beside her.  Bohb couldn’t help but be amused at the friendship that had already started to form between them.


They began to talk about food, and Bohb politely followed along as he ate his own breakfast.  Then Pex changed the tact of the conversation.


“Ensign Piripi,” the Trill began I've been studying your VISOR schematics and your implants and I understand now what happened back in the shuttle.  There was nothing I could have done to prevent it, but if you still want to continue to wear a VISOR and not change to a different technology, I've come up with some additional designs that will never put you in harm's way again.”


He paused for only a moment before continuing, “This would totally be your choice and I would first have Lieutenant Bohb here review all the schematics and study your implants to understand what is required.  But, it's possible to provide you a wider spectrum and greater distance with less energy requirements than the current model you're using.  The VISOR would also be much smaller than your current one."


Then he added that everything would be checked over by Dr. Solace.


Pihi chuckled and explained that she had been born without an optic nerve and that added complications with the connections to any other device.


“I really appreciate you looking into it,’ she said, “and your designs, but for now, I’d rather not be trying to relearn now to ‘see’ as it were.  Besides, I think this one goes with my tattoo, don’t. you?”


Bohb frowned at her acceptance of her “fate”, as it were.  To some people, he had come to realize, the idea of something new, or change, was difficult.  As for her last statement… he did not want to insult a new friend, even by accident.  Looked like the lessons on cultural sensitivity were paying off.


He shrugged, “I would still like to have a look at the device and see what can be done.  If for no other reason, than to be able to replicate another if it became necessary.  As for how it looks, I personally enjoy looking at your tattoos.  They are intriguing, with or without a visor.”


Then he looked over at Tegian and tried to wink at him, “Perhaps you and Tegian can discuss the matter further over dinner some time?”
