Correct.

[senior_citizen]

Knives always got emotional about things.

[scienceping]

Was that the Romulan's Sabra pseudonym?

[senior_citizen]

Yeah. Because of ...

[scienceping]

[SIGH always with Humans and their ears]

I see.

[senior_citizen]

[ better than Pointy or something ]

She's more of a hammer person otherwise.

[scienceping]

[or Larry]

You know her well?

[senior_citizen]

We get along. She helps me train sometimes.

[scienceping]

Interesting ...

[senior_citizen]

I wish I had more details. She didn't have a lot of memories last time we talked.

[scienceping]

[his interest is piqued]

What sort of memories?

[senior_citizen]

She said she was on a ship a lot. But she handled a lot of people personally? Does "security officer" mean anything to you?

[scienceping]

It does, a necessary function aboard a vessel. Most likely she served aboard a Romulan Empire starship.

[senior_citizen]

Probably. She sounded pretty proud of it.

[scienceping]

I expect she would be.

[senior_citizen]

That's normal, huh?

[scienceping]

[he ... sounds almost stiff as he says that, moreso than he has been]

[senior_citizen]

[scienceping]

The Romulan Star Empire is at odds with the United Federation of Planets, the organization of which I am a Commander.

[senior_citizen]

War?

[scienceping]

An uneasy and sometimes hostile truce.

[senior_citizen]

Almost as bad, huh.

[scienceping]

There have been several incidents along the Neutral Zone.

[senior_citizen]

Too bad you never got to meet her.

[scienceping]

It may have been better that we did not.
