Desiana was bored. There was no other word for it. She loved her job and she loved starfleet but she hated sitting behind a desk. It had been weeks since she had done anything past administrative work. With a rebellious huff her mind was made up and she was determined to roam the halls until something amusing found her, or she ended up back at her office.

Desiana turned a corner and collided with a fellow officer. The only difference between their two uniforms was they color scheme. Where hers was teal her poor victim donned gray. After she had stabled herself she looked over the man she had attacked. "I am sorry Lieutenant, I should pay more attention." She flashed him her best smile as she spoke.

Damion dropped his PADD onto the floor. A slight jump of anger hit him as she bumped into him. He tried to calm himself down as he knelt down and picked up his PADD and then looked up to Desiana. He smiled as he slowly got up and then cleared his throat. As he looked into her eyes, internally he was slowly calming down. "It's alright, Lieutenant. No harm done."

Desiana could feel the anger that she had elicited out of the Lieutenant. She could feel him being to calm down as she held his gaze. "You are the Chief of Intelligence, right?" She had spent some of her free time familiarizing herself with the other Department heads. "I am Desiana Torel the new Chief Science Officer."

"Desiana Torel?" He said softly with a bit of a smile. Why does that name sound familiar? Torel? He swore he heard it somewhere before. Maybe when he was on Betazed or along the way in Starfleet. He also picked up that she was Betazoid, if the eyes didn't give it away, the fact that he felt her empathic ability almost certainly did. "Yes. Thats me. Chief Of Intelligence." He held his hand out towards her, keeping his smile as he mentally struggled to remember where he heard her last name from.

Desiana raised a thin eyebrow a the curiosity her name brought to the Lieutenant. She took the offered hand in the traditional human greeting. She scanned him for a moment. "You are part Betazoid." she stated. Betazoid hybrids weren't as common as one might think. Up until this point she had never met on.

"Yes. Part Human and Betazoid." He smiled as he shook her hand and then slowly took it back. He felt her scan and only allowed her into the surface, keeping her far away from his other thoughts. She could tell right away he was strong, which was rare in half Betazoids. Half Humans and Half Betazoids had a bad reputation amongst full Betazoids. They have had a nasty habit of being overcome with emotions and other peoples thoughts that it drove them to madness, but with the medication Starfleet Intelligence provided him, he was keeping it in line.

"It is nice to meet another Betazoid." Desiana replied sincerely. He was the first one that she had met so far at her new posting. "I hope I am not keeping you from anything important."

"Actually, I was just headed back to my office. Care to join me?" Damion smiled back at her and then gestured in the direction he was walking in earlier.

"Sure," she said, smiling back. Just then, her combadge chirped. "Lieutenant Torel report to Science."

She looked at Damion apologetically. "Sorry. I'll have to take a rain check." With a wave she turned and headed to the science department.

"I'll hold you to it, Lieutenant." Damion smiled and then walked away in the opposite direction.
