Sthilg was furiously typing as he did his best to get through the ship paperwork that never seemed to not be overflowing on this ship. Looking up he saw one of his daughter's understudies looking for something.

" Everything okay Rowena?" The old gorn enquired.

"No," she said. "I am looking for the old database records. Any idea where they could be? I am thinking about applying for Command track, and they would be useful to review," she said.

" One moment. " The gorn said as he began typing on his wrist consol. " Unless Enegenring moved them i think the data crystals are still in one of the cryo pods." The gorn said standing up and heading to the medbays small cryo bay.

Rena nodded, but hurried along behind the Horn. "Thank you!!" She said. "Could you...slow down?" She had little legs!

The gorn did so and slowed his walk. He did forget how big his strides were. " How are you holding up?" he enquired.

She laughed. "Ok, I just wasn't expecting to do any running today!" she said, with a joking lilt to her voice. "Thank you," she said. "Sorry if I am holding you up," she said. "Your legs are just longer than mine!" She wasn't small, but she wasn't particularly tall, either.

Sthilg slowed and let her move slightly ahead of him. " that better?" he said with a warm smile as he gently walked after her.

She nodded. "Yes, thanks!!" She said. "How far away is it?" She asked. "How'd you come to join the Fleet, anyway?" Rena asked.

" Jussst in here." Sthilg added as he opened the door. " As for me joining the fleet i was offered a commissssssion after the Dominion War. Before that, i was in the Klingon defence force for nearly a hundred years. "

Rena nodded. "I see," she said. How on earth did a Gorn end up with Klingons?! She decided not to ask. "Thank you!!" she said. "I appreciate your help. If I can return the favor, please let me know." She entered the room, and smiled. Perfect!!

Sthilg pressed in the command code and the pod opened showing the neatly stored data crystals. " Here we are. I remember when thessse thingsss were the sssize of a human head and broke at the ssslightessst pressssssure," he said looking at the small crystals.

Rena smiled. "That was before my time," she said. "Even my parents didn't use them," she said. "It must have been an interesting time." Rena wondered what Starfleet had been back then. No Betazeds yet!

" So what are you looking for?" the lizard enquired.

"I am actually looking for old Earth archives about something called the Freudian method of psychology," she said. "And perhaps some reading; maybe I'll eventually apply to go the Command track," she said. Her father would be proud if she did decide to; she'd also be the first Betazoid captain.

" I probably have a book or two on the sssubject. " The gorn added as he picked up a few of the data crystals. Typing on his wrist computer a small collection of books appeared in his hand. " Here we go everything we have on human psychology."

Rena took the book. "Thank you!" She said. "Interesting," she said, as the images appeared. "I appreciate it!! This is very helpful."

" Think nothing off it my dear." Sthilg replied warmly.
