Timeline: current

ON:

Kelliza Kahn, the proud Executive Officer of the USS Amandora, was moving around her quarters with pep in her step, jamming tunes of a positive nature while setting up her living space. It flooded her mind with memories of Azala, Kahn's last host and Captain of the USS Sovereign. This crew was now her family, a sentiment every Kahn host felt to their core because it was the core of the Symbiont itself. Starships did not earn efficiency ribbons to wear on dress uniforms by NOT adhering to Federation law and Starfleet regulations. Sure, laws and regulations could be bent due to mitigating circumstances but the gist of it all is the effort put forth to do everything by the book BEFORE one starts to think outside the box.

"Computer, play Johnny Nash: I can see clearly now. Volume to 20." The song began to play and Liza sang as she moved about and set her personal spaces up to her liking.

"I Can See Clearly Now"

{OA: Johnny Nash}

I can see clearly now, the rain has gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright, bright sun-shining day
It's gonna be a bright, bright sun-shining day

I think I can make it now, the pain has gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright, bright sun-shining day

Look all around, there's nothing but blue sky
Look straight ahead, nothing but blue sky

I can see clearly now, the rain has gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone're the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright, bright sun-shining day
It's gonna be a bright, bright sun-shining day
Gonna be a bright, bright sun-shining day
Gonna be a bright, bright, bright sun-shining day

The beauty was she could sing at the top of her lungs and no one would hear it. She twerked and grooved around the various spaces as she placed nick-nacks and wall hangings. She let the computer play her song list at random, moving around appropriately. Making sure her door was locked Liza went to her bedroom and stripped down, stepping into the water shower as "Learning to fly" played. Pink Floyd had always been a fave band of hers from Earth. Settled in now, Kelliza enjoyed a long, relaxing shower. It was time to dress down for the evening. Her Vulcan satin pajamas sounded good, and after being freshly scrubbed she changed into them with no knickers beneath. Bjorgo himself would tell everyone aboard this ship that sleeping without the constraints of clothing did provide a more restful experience. The less there was, the more sound the sleep. However, due to her position and the probabbility of being called somewhere in a hurry, Liza had chosen years ago to sleep in PJ's, no matter how thin and revealing they were. Satin did contour rather well, and why she chose to sleep in it. Going back to her main room Kahn sat down at her XO desk, taking up PADDs one at a time as she sipped hot apple cider. Paperwork was a thing, and needed to be done.
