Lieutenant Selgae wore a rather wide grin on her lips as the turbolift she was encased inside sped its way to her destination, the door opened as the female Caitian stepped forward out into the hallway. 'I have learned that balance is a must in life. It cannot be easily attained. It must be fought for!... My children will achieve this same balance as I have.' the pretty Caitian thought to herself.

Selgae entered the bridge a few moments later, she then walked into Zuko's office. "Can I cause you some problems for the next few weeks to months?" she inquired of him bluntly.

"I take it this has something to do with Spirit of Winter," Zuko asked.

"Precisely," Selgae responded as she sat in one of the three chairs across from him as she began purring, she quite literally couldn't help herself as it was something he had brought out in her, once she learned to tone her interest down, he was able to step out of his shell and that was when their relationship started. "I assume you were contacted about the situation with my littermate." It was also not a question.

Zuko shook his head. "No haven't heard about any incidents, I just figured that since you were over there not too long ago and your sister is there, I figured something happened on the ship that you have to attend to. Don't worry, I have no intention of stopping them, you are free to go help your sister in whatever she needs."

Selgae smiled. "Thank you Zuko," she responded quietly. "Lieutenant Duval can handle things for me in my absence. She has my full confidence."

Zuko nodded," Alright well unless you need anything more from me, you are good to go."

Selgae rose to her feet without and sound and then she departed. Her next stop was to go and see Lieutenant Duval which she found in the armory a good twenty minutes later. T'Lee Duval was checking the rifles in the armory. "Okay, sixty-four is good." before she picked up the next rifle. "Lieu-Selgae." the young woman corrected herself. "What can I do for you?"

"I need to go to the USS Spirit of Winter and help the Chief Medical Officer over there with tending to a family problem, she is pregnant and having issues adjusting and coping with it."

"Ouch," T'Lee responded. "Yeah, unexpected drama like that can cause issues. What do you need from me?"

"I'd like you to take over as Chief of Security for the Dreamcrusher for the next little while. I know.. Your training isn't complete and it's too soon to place such a burden on you but can you do it.?"

Duval didn't even hesitate. "I can do it." she then smiled. "Try me and see."

"I'm going to try you, Lieutenant," Selgae answered with a smile. "Do not let me down."

"I won't," T'Lee responded before she turned. "Mackinson. You looking for something to do?" she inquired of him.

Chief Warrant Officer Heinz Mackinson turned to address the woman who was at least a dozen years younger than he was. "Ja, Lieutenant. You have somezing for me?"

"Look over these rifles and finish the inventory I was doing.. I just got a new job."

"Ja. It'll be done vithin the hour" the German native responded before he came over and accepted the PADD from her. T'Lee turned back to Selgae. "I'll keep an eye on things while your gone skipper."

"Thank you T'Lee. I appreciate this." the larger Caitian female responded in a light tone of voice.

"No worries skipper," T'Lee answered, a wide smile on her face. "I've been itching to get your job for awhile now and now I can show everyone that I can do it."

"I will wish you luck then. Try not to piss off Commander McKnight at those early meetings, he is like a Klingon without his coffee." Selgae responded, a smile on her own lips.

"Thanks. I'll remember that." T'Lee answered

"See that you do. Anyway. Off with you as you have a department to manage and run and prisoners to interrogate. This ship is now under your protection. You know what is expected of you."

"I do. I will need nerves of steel, a steady hand, and a watchful eye." the young Vulcan-human female hybrid responded, a smile on her lips.
"Time for me to cancel lunch and go to work then." and with that, the two women parted company yet both left the armory for their respective destinations.
