(khre'Arrain Taiv)(khre'Arrain Taiv) --- mess hall, morning Taiv was stunned by the sudden change in the conversations direction and D'Tanion leaving the table. He had not even the time to say that he actually had met the chief engineer before which was highly predictable even for a vulcan mind as Engineering and OPS had to closely work together for an operational ship as Concordia would be when she leaves the dock. He sighed silently but followed the commander to the other table. This was nothing, just cultural differences... "Commander Madiba, do you mind if we join for breakfast?"
