LTJG Jerran Terel rushed out of the meeting chuckling at himself for | |||
having escaped the clutches of the evil Betazoid counselor yet again. It | |||
was more of a game to him to avoid her now, ever since their adventures | |||
on the NOGURA. He took somewhat of a pleasure in blocking out her | |||
attempts to sense his emotions. He was also getting rather colorful with | |||
his methods. Instead of the normal mind blocks which he had usually put | |||
up, ones which made his mind relatively black to other telepaths, the | |||
last time she had attempted to sense his emotions, he had put up a block | |||
that looked to a telepath like a number of colored childrens' blocks, | |||
with, of course, Bajoran lettering on them. | |||
Jerran walked into the turbolift and ordered it to take him to stellar | |||
cartography so that he could go get the latest starcharts for the area. | |||
When he got there, he was surprised to see a Tamarian sitting at the | |||
computer terminal in the large, star filled room. He didn't | |||
know that there were any other Tamarians on board other than Cmdr. Maril. | |||
The Tamrian smiled to Jerran and said, "Rai and Jhi at Lungha." | |||
Jerran had studied a number of mythilogical stories from different races, | |||
and Tamarian was one of his favorites because of its exclusive use in | |||
their language. He knew a great number of them, and was glad to be able | |||
to get an opportunity to use them. | |||
"Katal at Tana's castle," he said, returning the greeting and welcoming | |||
him on board the FEYNMAN. Pointing to himself he then said, "Celvar on | |||
the river Ingery," indicating that he was the helmsman of the FEYNMAN. | |||
The Tamarian smiled and went on to tell Jerran that he was Azelti, Cmdr. | |||
Maril's father. | |||
Jerran nodded and said, "Mirab, his sails unfurled," telling Azelti that | |||
they were about to leave the starbase. He then went on to explain to the | |||
Tamarian that he had come here to get the latest starcharts for the | |||
mission area, a conversation which he was surprisingly able to sum up in | |||
just a few Tamarian words. That's one reason he enjoyed Tamarian, other | |||
than the mythilogical background, was that it was easy to express some | |||
very complex thoughts just by uttering a single analogy. | |||
Azelti then helped Jerran retrieve the appropriate files from the | |||
computer. He handed the PADD to Jerran saying, "Timba, his arms open." | |||
Jerran would like to have stayed and chatted with the Tamarian some more, | |||
but he had to get back up to the bridge, so he extended his gratitude to | |||
Azelti and left with a smile. | |||

Paula: Hope you don't mind me saying hi to your dad <G>, and I hope I | |||
didn't butcher the language too much. | |||
Respectfully Submitted,<br> | |||
