He looked at her as she spoke, he figured it would make sense as they would probably have it to where he was treated as normal. However hearing about the shuttle, he shrugged a bit, "Besides a couple of supply crates of human food and tools, not much would be all that personal. As much as i would think that you all would like to analyse the crates, if any or all survived, id like to hold onto them, specifically any tools since i imagine that you all have much different types of devices and tools. Ill probably learn how to utilize your equipment living here but having the old tools would be nice momentos of home." He stated as they passed the front desk basically and watched as they did peak while appearing to work which he figured the queen and a human would be worth catching a glance of. He saw her pull the device from her armor and was surprised by how the communicator looked. The best way he could describe it was a flight headset only it could fold up and be compacted. He didnt really hear the other end of the conversation but he could hear the tone in Lolzi's voice and he figured that even alien, gossip and conversation tropes still applied to alien cultures as well. Hearing about Adella, he nodded some as he figured that most who were friends with Lolzi would be kind because she didnt seem like the type of queen to surround herself with harmful or negative people judging by her personality. Hearing about the floors, it didnt worry him as much unless she meant that even with the lower floor setting, he was going to be high up, he just hoped it wasnt like miles above. He listened about the food and knew that was going to be an experience due to how they didnt have human livestock or food in general so they would probably have the alien versions of that, "Well i dont have any allergies on earth but i cant say the same for alien livestock or fruits." He stated softly as he figured he would still need to be careful. Even hearing about the fact he would have to find work made sense due to how he wasnt figuring he could free load since they saved him, he kind of guessed he would work. He just hoped it wouldnt be anything gross or too odd, since he didnt know much of their culture compared to humans. Upon arriving he was rather aw struck however seeing the full dome now when the elevator arrived. Walking to a railing, he gazed out and was just shocked at how the place looked. From where they were standing her could see the three biomes, and if they were artificial then it made sense why the station was so huge, the engineering would be vast to modulate all of it. He looked at her and nodded, "You have a beautiful home... this place is a marvel of engineering and life." He stated as he was very impressed.

((Wow just realized all my typos before. I fixed them btw.)) Watching him closely as he took in the features of the dome bio mes, she took in his features and smiled when he complemented the vast beauty of the dome. She was glad he liked it. Here there was fresher air from the plants and water too, so he'd probably appreciate that too. "I'm glad you like it. It's my favorite part of the station," she said. She then headed over to one of the far ends of the arrival platform they were on to one of the two stairwells, there was one at each end. "Come on. It's better when you're actually immersed in it," she said, then lead the way down the stairs entering the environment, going up to the water's edge where another Moi'ree with features leaning to dolphin in nature, opposed to her octi spotting, was waiting; Adella.

He looked out at the scenery as he was still in awe, which being human, he had taken care of himself and was partially miltary however, he was also an engineer. He looked around before he heard what she said and nodded, following her, "If this is a space station, what kind of system and power source to you use to maintain the atmosphere and biomes? I mean it would have to require a massive powersource, I mean, nuclear fusion possibly but even then that might not have enough unless you guys have some kind of fusion reactor that has a stablized star reaction burning in it... even then that would be dangerous to contain..." he went off on engineering rambles before he realized how far he had gotten, "Sorry, youre a queen and I shouldnt be rambling about engineering but theirs so much to learn about this station and how it works. I should calm down though, since its still just day 1 here." He said as they would continue on. He noticed as they got to the ocean biome better, the tunnel enclosed in glass or some kind of clear polymer and went under the surface which he could see that they had underwater structures as well, but not only that he saw fish like creatures, like types of fish that looked like mixed breed of cod with features similar to koi and catfish with the long whiskers and strandes off their fins. He was awe struck seeing their civilization as he examined everything, stopping every now and then to gaze at the archetechure of everything. (Sorry for the wait and no need to worry about fixing typos, as long as the word is what you meant, ill probably understand it.)

Listening to his many questions, and honestly not knowing off the top of her head all the answers he sought for as it wasn't her particular field of expertise, she smiled and shook her head lightly, amused at his awe and wonder. "Don't apologize. It's all new. I imagine I'd be asking questions too if I were in your place. You seem to know much in the realm of science for someone dressed like militia. Perhaps the work you find on board will be with engineers and you'll learn your questions answers along the way, no?" she smiled to him. Lolzi then let him take it in some more and discover some of the things you couldn't see from the elevator's arrival platform, while she went over to Adella to check and see if everything was ready yet for him. After a few minutes of talking, she walked back over with Adella hot on her heels and a goofy smile, or was it perhaps a smirk, on Adella's face. "Right. Dean? Your quarters are ready. This is my friend, Adella. Adella, this is Dean. Don't overwhelm him with questions. She'll show you to your quarters. You'll be staying just along the cliff side there," she said pointing out the area not far from the main waterfall, giving Adella a slight look after she did. Curious. "As I said before if you need anything don't hesitate to ask Adella or the guide that will give you a tour after you've settled in. Oh, and Adella? For the time being let's not give him a Krogan guide. I'm not being specist I just know how they view several other groups, not all of them of course, but a decent number. You know." "Not to worry, Majesty. I'll make sure your human, I mean the human, is well taken care of and no ruffians attempt to mess with him before he's properly got his feet wet around here," Adella half-smiled half-smirked to her, earning yet another look from Lolzi, her eyes briefly flashing pink a moment, before returning to the opal blue shade they were prior; which only made Adella hold back a laugh. "I have to go now, but if you need anything, this one knows where to find me, aside from the med bay. I hope to see you again soon," Lolzi smiled softly and nodded to the man, before turning and walking away, not back to the elevator platform but deeper into the Moi'ree section of the dome, to her own quarters. "I'll give you a guess where the humble queen's quarters are in all this stone and blue," Adella then leaned in and whispered to Dean, curiously watching the human as he watched her best friend walk away. "Also are you thinking on your guess as you stare at her or are you watching her voluptuous hips and backside - no doubt a credit to her background - sway away?" she added with a knowing look on her face. The queen could refuse to say anything in public as much as she wanted to, but Adella saw right through it all just looking at Dean look at her. ((Hope that's a bit better than the last one.))

(Its wonderful ^w^) He knew that she probably wouldnt have known much about the engineering if she was simply a queen and healer. As beautiful as she was, he shouldnt think of her as godly and all knowing. Every person had strengths and weaknesses which he was simply not good with healing or blood to be honest. When Adella showed up, he thought it over as she spoke which looking over at the waterfall, he could see windows or panels built into the stone, even a few balconies which were interesting for placement but he nodded, "I gotcha, that doesnt appear too high up." He said as he then thought it over as she mentioned not having a Krogan guide but he had to learn a bit about these races to learn their customs and habits to avoid causing any issues. As Lolzi had began to walk away he did get distracted her her hips and rear, watching her but as Adella spoke, he was surprised but blushed as she mentioned catching his stare, "Look, Im not sure what you mean by that... why do you even ask?" He asked curiously as he noticed some specific words about what was said, "Why do you mean by the staring? I mean, shes a beautiful creature and I mean, youre also a magnificent example of your species as well... I mean, the Linnerian i saw before was obviously well kept and the Krogan... well he looked well fought." He stated trying to seem equal but even gone, he couldnt stop thinking about Lolzi, her beautiful burned in his mind.

"Oh you so phased out and blinked! You so blinked! She might deny it or maybe she hasn't just yet, cause she's always been stubborn, but I know she will soon enough if she hasn't already. Oh how exciting! Lolzi's been alone for far to long and too work focused on this station. She'll need someone like you to pull her away from it every once in a while. Oh how exciting! Come on, I'll show you to your place. Only a block from Lolzi, that's why her eyes flashed pink, but you didn't hear it from me, haha," Adella laughed, before looping her grey arm with his tan arm and pulling him along the pathway that lead to the apartment looking structure built into the cliff side above the lake and not far from the waterfalls. Once there, she passed off his key, told him what buttons did what, then left him alone to settle in. In her own quarters, Lolzi was changing out of her gear and putting it aside to sanitize it, tossing her under armor clothing in the wash, and then taking a quick shower to freshen up after letting her hair down. Once that was done and her hair was dry again, she restyled it in a nice up-do, made sure her body was plenty moisturized, then got dressed again - this time in more regal yet still causal clothes. Her bodice top had octopus detailing on it a nod to her heritage, the train from her waist to her ankles celestial inspired a nod to the station she oversaw, thigh high boots over business pants made her look like she ran the place -which she did- but also gave an elegant and sexy flare too, purple capes attached to her arms by gold cuffs brought power and drama, and an opal jewel set of a headband over a crown or tiara, earrings, and a stunning necklace hanging over her chest were the finalizing touches that showed she was more than a captain or diplomat aboard this station, she was royalty. It was regal, it was opalescent matching and bringing out her hair and eyes even more so than her dark blue and black armor did before, it was a touch celestial, so beautiful yet so casual too. Sure she had ballgowns and dresses too she wore from time to time; but seeing has she wasn't the type of royal to sit around all day waiting on others, and she had things to do, this look served her well. Putting on her earrings and headband last as final touches, she looked at herself in the mirror for a moment, a quiet moment to breathe, to reflect, looking into her own eyes, she briefly saw Dean's eyes and face in the mirror looking back at her, before blinking and shaking her head lightly. No it was impossible, she thought, a dream she gave up on long ago. She had work to be done, she had to speak with the Krogan captain and Linnerian advisor among a handful of others to discuss the status of the station as of late, as well as their newest tenant . She wasn't looking forward to it, as it'd probably be a half hour to hour lecture to her, if not longer, but it was her duty. So with a deep breath and sigh, she held her head up high again, not letting her shoulders droop like they did when alone, and she left her home hidden behind the main waterfall, and headed back up the stairs to the elevator platform, and to the floor where controls and operations and meetings were held.

Dean was even more confused by her words, 'phazed?' and 'blinked?' Neither of these made any sense to him and he wondered if he was getting a headache again from the translator not working properly. He didnt know what she meant and assumed that when she began speaking about how he would help pull Lolzi from overworking, he assumed it would be as a friend helping another but he doubt that she would be that interested him him, but being a medical personal she might be interested in human biology or their knowledge of medicine maybe? He had noticed that Lolzi's eyes did flash pink when he looked at her, but when he thought about it, he assumed it went with them being part fish, probably some kind or bioluminousense thing or something. He then felt Adella loop her arm with his and pulled him along which he almost tripped when walking beside the bipedal fishy humanoid creature. When they got to the place, she explained to him how to enter, gave him a rather futurey/alien looking key which seemed like a keycard in a way, but he heard what she said and got his door opened. He walked in finding that it must have been themed for an aquatic resident where the furniture appeared sleek yet modern in an alien point of view. He sat on what he assumed was the couch, the living room, kitchen and where it looked like the bedroom and bathroom were looked very human like. He was glad that the aliens shared a lot of similarities to human culture with accomendations but it was still a lot to get use to. He walked around and checked out the bedroom and bathroom, all very clean and elegant, the structure of the room was beautiful. He examined the bed, but though he slightly expected a water bed, he seemed like some kind of high grade memory form maybe but his hand felt like it melted into the silicone like matress. He was unsure what the material was but it wasnt anything what humans use but he seemed likely to support any body type and felt comfy under his hand. The sheets also had a nice softness to them which having lived on a space ship for well, a while, these were nice accomedations... too nice in his mind. His mind jokingly began to think maybe this was some kind of ruse and he was going to be some alien sacrifice to some beast but then again, his rational mind pushed that though to the side quickly. He found the kitchen and as foreign as the appliances were, he noticed what looked like a terminal built into one of the counters. Activating it when he placed his hand on it, alien languages popped up and even had appeared almost like holograms causing his brain to try trainslating only causing a bigger migraine. The translater could work for written language but it would take time for written words to be integrated into his head. A holographic frame of a woman appeared, she appeared human but due to lack of features to say otherwise, it could just be a bipedal representation, "Human interfact detected, human language of terran english has been interfaced into this terminal." the woman said as Dean recovered from the migrain and walked over to the terminal, finding it in english now. It looked like he had limited access which made sense but something had been on his mind for a while, "So this is an A.I. huh, much more advanced then our simple ones back home." He said softly and was surprised, "I am the combined intellect of three species, the failures of one species technology aided by another. I am here to serve and help how I can." she informed which Dean nodded, "Great, aliens have their own version of Siri..." he joked some but then figured he could get some answers from this terminal, "What can you tell me about the Krogan, Linnerians and the Moi'ree? I wish to learn more about them if im going to stay here. Also, can you tell me why everyone keeps bringing up me staring at Lolzi? And what does it mean when a Moi'ree's eyes turn pink?" He asked as the terminal chimed, "Im sorry but I am not allowed to give you access to this information at your current security level. Once you are cleared for work and appropriate levels of clearence then information such as species information and Moi'ree mating rituals will become available." she informed as he nodded, "Alright... i guess thats it for now." He said as the hologram would vanish after giving a nod before leaving. However his brain suddenly absorbed the words that was the missing puzzle piece, "Wait what?!" He asked as he looked back at the terminal but replayed words, 'mating ritual' and thought about how people spoke in that train of thought. Did he have some kind of connection to Lolzi that meant love or was it that she saved him and he owed her? He didnt know and the more he thought about it, he blushed but shook it from his mind, "Its fine... I doubt it was a thing since she was a queen and it made no sense that he, a random alien of a different species would ever be good for otherworldly beautiful queen. He then realized how he thought about how he just mentally referred to her as beautiful. He worried a little since he didnt know anything else, maybe he should wait to ask when she finished with whatever she was doing before she would come meet him since he didnt think it wise to go exploring without her or someone else guiding him.

"Alright, I'm here. Let's get this over with shall we?" Lolzi said as she stepped off the elevator into the high security debriefing and control sector level of the station. A place few got to access to unless invited (like a tech to fix something) or obviously those with the clearance. It was a large room with multi-level areas and glass/led-light touch screens with occasional holograms at several of the individual stations. Waiting in the center of the room for her were the head ambassador representatives on-board the Alliance station for the Krogan and Linnerian groups, the Krogans' captain and one of the Linnerians' (kiss a**) diplomats. "Let's get this over with? Really Lolzi? You speak as if this will be a casual meeting and is not a big deal," the captain scolded her. "Because I have a feeling I know what both of you will say, and it's not. The human is harmless. I along with one each of both your people examined him and he is not injured, he is not ill, and he carries no viruses that could harm anyone aboard this station, young, adult or old. He's settling into a cabin now as we speak," she said already rubbing her forehead lightly with how this was starting off. "And that's Queen Lolzi or Majesty to you, Captain. We are not close enough for you to call me by my name only," she snapped back. "Settling in she calls it. Yes we know, he's already familiarized himself with the systems and tried to gain access to information above his jurisdiction! He wants to know more about us!" "Well wouldn't you?! If you were on an alien spacecraft with not one but three new species around you, poking and prodding you. Worst of all spying on you. Which I told you lot not to do!" she yelled then getting angry to hear they checked his logs already. "It's not spying! It's a security check." "Oh like hell. You do it again I'll degrade you from Captain to janitor and I'm sure your Emperor won't mind, nor will your Pharaoh," she warned both of them. She then immediately went over to the head station and deleted anything they pulled from spying on him. It wasn't much but it shouldn't be there in the first place. "He wanted to know why your eyes turned pink, Majesty," the Linnerian then interjected in a softer tone than the Krogan, making her pause for a moment. "Whether you are aware or not, your eyes shifted in front of him. In my studies of Moi'ree, the eyes only turn pink when giving a warning spurred from annoyance or anger, in short hostility, usually in defense of one's mate or family." "I know what it means. I am Moi'ree. I grew up with it and didn't have to read about it." "If he threatened you I shall send my men to terminate him immediately," the Krogan said, making her turn around quickly and march over to him, blocking his way from the nearest computer screen; her eyes ablaze in hot pink. "You'll do no such thing! He didn't threaten me. My friend was there too and annoying and trying to embarrass me, she's the reason they turned pink. Leave. Him. Alone," she ordered. When her eyes returned to normal, she noticed the look of realization on the Linnerian's face and the glare of realization on the Krogan's face. Oh she'd hear a lecture now. She called it. - - - Meanwhile, a new Linnerian face, specifically a parrot looking one, showed up at Dean's door to give him a tour. ((Feel free to write for the Captain and the so far title less diplomat, as well as give them traits and names if you'd like. Seeing as I named Cawshriq and Borax Krug before. Plus Adella.))

The two delegates looked the queen over as she spoke, Captain Staal cleared his throated when she seemed to suddenly spike in emotion at his offer to eliminate the human, "I see it is the human that is the problem in question but it is not what we had in mind." He stated as Krogan muttered the words a bit as he stared to the Linnerian who was Major Inarow, who stood up, "As a Moi'ree, you have just filled in the last piece to this discussion, it is clear that you and this human now have this bond your species gain when they meet their mate. Currently on record you have never once had such bond and have remained the status as queen among your people because they follow you without question due to everything youve done for them. They believe in your causes as well as knowing that you would happily take the role of healer in dire needs which had been rare after the treaty between out species." He stated as the Krogan stood, "However if this bond is between you and the human, then this threatens the treaty, because if he is to be your mate, it puts him at a higher position of power being connected to you. If he proves to be as his species have shown, then he can try to use his newly acquired connections to contact more of his species. Can you imagine what would happen if the humans believed us hostile?" He asked as he enjoyed a good fight like the next Krogan, "Id love to say i believe you that this human can be trusted, however, he cant. His race may be inferior in technology, strength and knowledge, however they have numbers." He said as the linnerian nodded, "Say the humans are hostile, whether to attack thinking we imprisoned their lost human or because they wish to acquire this station and its technology." He said as he activated the table. A box appeared, floating as a hologram, "We had discovered what is essentially a data storage unit of the human's ship, the humans call it a black box. It saves the data from their ship and allows for humans to retrieve it from the wreckage in case of some kind of ship failure. From this device we have gotten its data on the ship..." he said as the box morphed into the ship, with Eden on the side, "This ship's combat capabilities are minor, and we assumed that they are for defenses but this ship isnt alone." He said as suddenly their were 30, to 40 holographic ships of similar design, "They have an entire fleet, which if they decided to attack the station, they would completely annihalate it before we could launch any defenses." He explained causing the hologram to disappear. The Krogan grunted, "We are not spying, we are keeping him under control at least til he can show that he can be trusted. How would your species feel if you followed this bond, allowed it to blossom only for him to stab you in the back and contact his people to have them come rescue him?" He asked as he thought it over, "As a Krogan warrior, I would be more then happy to see the treaty fail, as would any military but even I grasp the knowledge that it is not just my fight. All of our people, military and civilian are protected by this treaty, which is now at risk because or this human." He explained the situation to her as it was. Dean stretched some before hearing the, what was it a chime for someone being at the door, like a buzzer for an apartment. When he opened the door, he was surprised, "Polly wanna cracker?" He asked mostly out of habit even though he knew full well this was an alien that just shared similar characteristics to a parrot, he couldnt help but blurt that out. He sighed, "Sorry, force of habit, um, how are you? Can I help you?" He asked curiously, looking at the linnerian curiously.

Listening to both as she looked over the holograms and thought things over logically, she swallowed lightly as she realized they were in a sense right. The emotional side of her didn't like it, but they were. The more they spoke, Captain Staal in particular always ready for a fight be it debate or battlefield, her brain rushed through ways to handle this. The logically side agreed with them, but her heart begged her for her people's safety (which she considered all life forms on board this station Krogan, Linnerian or Moi'ree her people) as well as her heart's safety to think of a compromise of some kind. "I see what both of you are saying, and I do understand your concerns. I agree if the humans, not him but the others who might seek him out, if they are hostile then it's very bad for all of us. That I agree with. The numbers are startling. How since neither of you is Moi'ree then allow me to refresh your memory on how our rituals work once someone has locked eyes and stared into Moi'ree hypnotic gaze. If you don't believe me feel free to ask any of your comrades whom have Moi'ree spouses and mixed children. Once bonded, even before officially mating, it is impossible for either party to on purpose bring harm to their mate. They will never want to or be inclined to, even if it broke orders of some kind, they'd protect their mate and any future family over anything else. And by protect I mean emotional as well as physically, as best to their abilities as possible. In other words, if Dean knew anyone getting threatened, attacked or killed on this station would wreck my heart, which it would Captain, Major, he'd do everything in his power to stop it from happening... and he doesn't even know yet. It's a natural instinct that kicks in after the blink. ... As it stands that's only him though. We could explain it to him and he would not call on them for rescue or attack, but that still leaves the others. I don't believe all humans are bad, Captain Staal. I don't believe all of any species are bad. If that were true the Alliance would not exist but it does. However I do believe in bad seeds in all populations certainly. Major Inarow? I'm sure you and your top scholars can attest to, or at least pull up the records of what we do know of humans, they mostly do infighting with each other and more times than not only attack others when they are attacked first or out of fear, yes?" "Uh, well, y-yes...." "Then could we not find a compromise? Instead of disregarding him as untrustworthy entirely, Captain, we give him first a reason not to fear us, because for the time being we outnumber him, let him gain our trust as a start. While doing so, we prepare for attacks just in case as a last resort, as well as try to contact the other humans before they find out who and where we are, so we don't risk them prejudging us, like you are them. If we reach out first, make clear he is in no way a captive and is a guest aboard the ship - which means no profiling Captain, guarding the halls and where he goes is one thing, saving all his legs and documenting every time he poops is another - if we appear friendly to them, if we act like oh I don't know an Alliance maybe then maybe we might gain one more ally and make us all that much stronger. Did either of you consider that? Captain Staal imagine if you had their numbers? Major Inarow imagine the medical research or how they somehow managed to outlive the dinosaurs so many moons ago and what knowledge we could learn from their mythology, their folklore, their repeated mistakes in history and things they got right! Do you recall learning in school how much more powerful we all made each other when we decided to work together instead of fight one another? Where one of us lacks the others hold strength and vice versa! If we could show them before they ever feel threatened by us that we are a strong team of allies to have and be a part, then we could gain another powerful ally that only made us stronger than we already are. I'm not saying put up a neon sign that says welcome to the circus all are welcome here, or be extra polite and wait on them, cause I've no doubt there's probably a group of humans who would take advantage of that just like a number of all our kinds would. What I am saying is extend a ranch to them before they even know there is a tree. Do you understand? If they want to share labor and enjoy the fruits and shade let them.... and if they want to burn the tree down," she sighed lightly then looked to the Krogan, "then I'll allow you to give the orders, Captain. As much as I know you and many Krogan would love a fight, I'd prefer if it were brotherly fights and training duels, not a war. Is that fair enough?" she asked him. "My duty to this station has always come first, and you both know that. Major you worked with my parents and were there at my coronation. You know I am loyal to Krogan, Linnerian and Moi'ree equally and want what is best for all aboard the station. This station is my home. Now we have four species instead of three, even if just one rouge individual for now. I am loyal to him too. As queen ... and as a mate. ... When we get in touch with the other humans, if they do not seem friendly or at least cooperative in a diplomatic sense... just remember to take me out with them," she added sadly, stepping away, down the stairs back towards the elevator. "Queen Lolzi, Child..." the Linnerian tried to talk to her. "What is a queen without a king, Inarow? It makes no difference. For she will always be a queen. And I salute all queens. Past, present and future. A Moi'ree cannot live without their mate though. When you give him clearance to at the very least view our customs so he learns how not to accidentally offend us, our diets and the Moi'ree mating process... leave that part out please. I don't want him anticipating my death when he could be living. I have a duty as queen and I honor that, but I've a duty to my heart as well do I not?" she said turning back to face them. "You taught me how to properly fight Staal, you know how strong I am for a Moi'ree, how hard I work day and night. You're not just the Major, Inarow. You're my godfather. You know I put others before myself nine times out of ten. It's how I was raised. You both know I'm smart and rival dome of the best Linnerian scholars. Have I not earned the right yet, to at least get to know my mate, something I long ago gave up on having, before you decide without me to ship him off somewhere or inannihilate him?" she said to them both, her words strong but her eyes soft. Here was a queen with a good head on her shoulders who would always put her people first, but on the inside was still a young girl who had to grow up too fast and secretly still longed love though she had been denied it for so long. "Lolzi...." "Just consider the compromise, alright? Quickly. If not for the pang in my chest I already feel, then to not waste anymore time on reaching out to the humans first. Fair?" - - - "I am not Polly and no thank you I am not hungry," the Linnerian replied, the human joke going over his head; a rare thing for a Linnerian. "I was told to give a tour of the station. The places you have clearance at least, though don't worry I shall point out the others so you don't accidentally wander into them and get yourself in trouble. We shall start with the cafeteria since you mentioned food. Then we will cover the multiple levels, there's a total of 23, and the job sectors within all of them, the docking bay, the med bay, etc. Actually we will save the cafeteria for last, as this will probably take the rest of the afternoon, so it will be dinner by the time we get to the cafeteria. Come along."

Both Captain Shaal and Major Inarow watched and listened to her words, which they both could see the fact that she was listening to them. They listened as she spoke her mind and from her heart and then would speak to them about their people which she was correct. Major Inarow looked at her as she spoke and looked at the table before he began to lift the restrictions of his systems to a higher clearance level, "Hes now able to access all civilian level information, until he is given a job, thats where his clearance level will remain." He stated as he looked at her, "I know better then to question you, today is a rare day I dont like to have but to our people, both I and Shaal had to make sure this decision was taken in consideration of the treaty." He informed as Shaal didnt dispute that, he looked at her, "I will say this, I dont trust humans but you are correct, in this time of peace, we have found some Krogan operating in merc groups and private militia... which for a price, they wouldnt have any problem starting conflict to feel they were warriors again." He stated as Inarow agreed, "And i will admit that we have Linnerians who forgo knowledge in pursuit of some form of greed, destroying knowledge in the pursuit of technology, wealth or power." He stated as they both understood they had bad apples within their own races. Major Inarow looked to Lolzi, "I do ask that as your godfather, that you please be careful in this endevor... i understand the strength of the bond from what ive seen but as much as Linnerians embrace new knowledge, we still fear the unknown." He explained to her as he figured they would need to find some way to communicate to the humans, "How about this, we examine the salvaged ship the human arrived in, analyse the systems in an attempt to see if we can contact the humans and if we are able to... if the human can prove to be trusted, he can be the one to speak. If he proves to be an ally that can keep the humans from feeling unsafe and preparing to fight then it would make sense for him to contact them." He said as Shaal agreed, "For now, the restrictions are lifted and we will keep our 'spies' back but i ask that you at least keep an eye on him. If he is going to be your mate, then I ask you to keep a sound mind and heart when around him. Fall in love but just because he wont want to hurt you doesnt mean he has the possibility of hurting others." He explained softly making a slight comprimise. With all the emotions Major Inarow looked at her but cleared his throat, "alright well now that this business is out on the table, I think that the last thing i would like to request Lolzi, is that if you two decide to create a legacy, I would like the honors of studying the first Moi'ree/human offspring." He stated thinking it over as it seemed like an okay comprimise for her godfather to request at the end of the meeting. Dean found that the Linnerian had just completely missed the joke which he realized shouldnt have been a surprise. He listened to the avian alien as they would leave his apartment which he made sure he kept the key on him as he walked, "What kind of job sectors are there and how many types are engineering?" He asked curiously to the tour guide figuring that it would probably be good to ask. The tour guide would explained that their were several job sectors in engineering but he would have to acquire a lot of training to be considered for it. He was lead around for a while as he took in the sights and even took in a lot of information.

After her meeting with the Captain and Major, getting plans A B and C started, getting prepared for whatever course they ended up on, as well as getting Dean at the very least civilian clearance, Lolzi was emotionally and mentally drained to say the least. After a long elevator ride from the near top of the station to nearly the bottom, stepping off at the med bay, she really had to hold her head high like a queen more than ever, to not seem like she was a patient herself. Though at the current time she secretly was. Nodding and smiling as she passed nurses and techs, she made her way to back to where the pharmacy storage was and scanned the shelves manually without the computer automatically sending something to her through a delivery shoot, then once she found what she was looking for she went to her office within the med bay nearby. Away from prying eyes and behind a closed door, she set the box labeled in a swirling symbol language, the language of the Moi'ree and had a small blue sticker on it as well showing it was for Moi'ree only, on her desk and carefully opened it revealing inside several small injection bottles and individually wrapped and packed needles. Enough for a month's worth of doses. Taking a single needle package out and setting it up, then one of the bottles, she drew the clear liquid into the syringe, then moved the left side of her bodice top and pant hem and injected herself just above the hip with it, gasping and grimacing lightly before she withdrew the empty syringe's needle and recapped it to throw it out with the empty packaging away in a toxic bin. She then closed the box again and put it in the bottom drawer of her desk, before leaving the med bay, getting back on one of the elevators again like nothing happened and she just stopped by to check on things. In the elevator she debated going back to the dome, to her own private quarters of the station, but just as the thought crossed her mind she started feeling better. Plus the thought of Dean also crossed her mind, making her long for him and miss him. The injection might have helped numb any physical discomfort from time apart and waiting to officially mate rather than jumping straight to it, but it still took a toll on her emotionally and mentally if apart for too long. It had already been several hours. So rather than the dome, she pulled up the A.I. system in the elevator, something civilians didn't even know was possible unless they were in charge of keeping the elevators running or A.I. throughout the station working, and requested the whereabouts of "the human resident" (the system still needed to learn about him, that's all that was in the computer to start). "Hello Queen Lolzi. The human civilian you are looking for is in the cafeteria. Shall I let him know you request his presence or are looking for him?" "No, thank you. Just program the elevator to take me to the cafeteria level please and thank you." "As you wish. Going to level 12, in sector 4." After a few moments of the elevator moving at a fast pace, it slowed to a stop and the A.I. beeped once more, "Now at level 12, sector 4, the cafeteria, canteen and lounge." "Return to civilian mode and open elevators doors please and thank you," Lolzi said. The A.I. beeped once more in response but didn't speak, before the screen panel went away and returned to the usual elevator buttons, then the doors opened to let her out. Immediately she was greeted by guards bowing and the busy halls of level 12. No surprise considering most were getting off work right about now and level 12 was "the social floor". "As you were," she dismissed the guards, then walked out into the hall and made her way to the cafeteria. She had to scan a bit when she first got to the bustling large room, but soon enough she "found Waldo" with an animated Linnerian; squawking his ear off no doubt, with facts about the station most found dull, as well as highly detailed descriptions of the various food options aboard the station - if Dean's half bored half grossed out expression was anything to go off of. Seeing him already made her feel better and brought a soft smile to her face . She then made her way through the crowd towards the two of them. Difficult for most but considering her status, once people realized who it was they made a hole quickly and let her through before continuing on their way, though of course with murmurs, that was nothing new.

Dean followed the linnerian tourguide through the station and was happy to see some of the feats of engineering that this alliance of aliens have achieved which was amazing. From the engine modules that keep the station in orbit to the power converters and power factory modules. He was shocked and in awe at the glorious designs of structure but then again, that was only a few of the tour stops and he didnt get to go as in depth as he hoped as he went along, finding that in lue of being hungry and tired about 3/4ths of the way through the tour, by the time they finally got to the cafeteria, he had asked a question he suddenly realized he should have not asked. He was resting his head on his arm, palm to his chin but his gaze down at the table in boredom, "I should have asked for a Krogan tourguide..." he whispered a bit thinking that the krogans wouldnt have been as long winded. However as the linnerian seemed to suddenly stand up, despite being tired, hungry and sore, with a slight head ache, he suddenly felt a bit better, like when you sit in a hot bath to relieve soreness. He looked up at the linnerian who got his attention, "Stand up when approached by royalty!" He stated as Dean turned his attention seeing Lolzi, "Oh Lolzi, youre back!?" He said stumbling as he stood up, seeing the outfit she wore which was very beautiful in her appearance. He thought it over as the linnerian sighed, "Its queen Lolzi to you human, please have some respect for someone of royal blood." He said not really being a jerk, its just common for linnerians to see royals as, well royals. They deserved respect at the fact that they are of a high status. (Sorry for the wait and the not as flourish post... i wasnt sure what else to include to extend it.)

((Don't worry about it.)) "It's quite alright, the human and I have met before. Besides he is still learning all the customs, Mr...?" she said to the Linnerian in a soft and kind voice. Once she got his name she continued on. "I'm sure he got a full tour of the facilities, yes? You both must be tired and famished. Sir, why don't you go enjoy a well deserved meal with friends and family members, yes? I need to speak with our human guest anyways," she politely suggested with a smile, gesturing towards the pick-up counters for food. "Oh yes, Ma'am, Queen Lolzi! Thank you Ma'am, and have a wonderful evening," the parrot looking Linnerian nodded and bowed about three too many times as he backed away before hurrying off to do just that. She then smiled softly and offered her hand to Dean. "In public maybe follow his advice but in private we could be on a first name basis if you'd prefer? I was hoping you'd like to have dinner with me? I'd greatly like to know your thoughts on the station as well as talk about other things too... but in private I do believe would be best," she said, knowing some eyes were on them but not addressing them and drawing further attention.
