OOC:

I couldn't think of a title so I leave that up to you.

ON:

Tara had her samples, data and research beamed to the auxiliary science lab. Walking in she headed over and raised the cover on the terrarium she had brought from Amzock. Seeing the little plant Tara scanned it carefully. "I wish I knew how you ended up on that planet little one. Your a long long way from where your supposed to be."

Rogue had left Sickbay and as she walked down the corridor she tapped her badge, asking the computer for the location of Lieutenant Herculoid. The information was given so Ro changed course and headed for that section. Arriving, entering the lab as she saw Tara bent at the waist as she examined a plant, and she couldn't help but overhear what Herculoid had said. "That would be the Iconian gateways, Tara." Offered Green as she approached the diligent Science officer. "They were quite adept at interdimensional travel." She came to a stop at the proper distance for conversation. "But, I'm here on a different matter," said Ro casually while grinning.

"I first saw this little plant on Danvers Four and it intrigued me then," Tara said closing the top "It was native to that planet and they are able to walk." Turning to face the XO "What can I do for you? I have an office set up in here we can talk there?"

"Sure," said Green, following as Herculoid led the way. "You know, I am here to give you the keys to the new office I suggested when planetside. If you still want Diplo Chief." She took a seat in a guest chair as Tara took her chair behind the small desk.

Tara nodded "I am interested, and you'll be glad to know I have opened negations with Romulus. It's going to take time as both sides have a lot to work through."

"I have no doubt," said Green, understanding the difficulties involved in diplomacy. Especially when it came to Romulans. If they can't save face then all treaties are off. "I'm glad you still want the posting." She pulled her PADD out of her thigh pocket and began tapping away for a few moments even while speaking. "This is long overdue, Lieutenant. Keep in mind it won't be just Romulans you will deal with. Any diplomatic matter that Amandora is involved with will require your department's input. It can seem overwhelming at times. But, that's why I chose you. I think you can handle it, and get that firecracker anger of yours under control." She gave a smile. "You remind me too much of myself, Tara."

"We Amazon's do have a temper. Most of the time I keep it well in check and when it flairs up I head for the gym and punch the hell out of the punching bag in there or I run until I can't run anymore. That draws a scolding from Kristian," Tara said "As for overwhelming, I can multi task quite well. And I know it won't be just the Romulans as they are going to take time to deal with and a lot of subspace with my parents. They have one demand already and it's not likely to happen."

Ro gave a laugh. "They always start off with something outrageous, just to see how we respond. If Amandora hosted the talks that would give the ship and crew a Starfleet efficiency ribbon to wear on the dress uniform. But, that's another topic altogether." She stood up and leaned over Tara's desk to hand her the PADD. "Thumbprint where needed, and a retinal scan, please. Once I have those then the department can be transferred over to you as supervisor. Security will be notified first, then the other departments in order." Green didn't feel like sitting so she moved next to the guest chair and stood casually, able to reach for her PADD from that location when Herculoid was finished adding her bio-scans.

Tara took the PADD added her thumbprint and the retinal scan, once done she handed it back to Green "They want to build a starbase around my home world and that won't happen."

"That can be worked with, though," Green replied as she took the PADD back and tapped in her XO codes for command changes. "There, Lieutenant Herculoid. Congrats on your new position and promotion to department head. All rights and privileges thereof, of course." She gave a smile. "You know you can count on quite a few of us to aid you when needed. Several crew have shown a proclivity for talking rather than shooting."

"Thank you commander," Tara said getting to her feet "Peace is always better. But when it's not then stronger actions are needed. I may just call on some of you if things get too hairy."

Green gave a nod and smile. "The Meji are recognized now. Myself, Zenni and Nira, so far. We will always aid in the endeavors of peace and diplomacy. Speaking of which," she said as a thought passed through her mind. "I need to meet with them. Anyway, girl, you're now assigned. I have more stops to make today so I will see you later, hon. Cheers." With that said Green spun on her heel and exited the office, then the lab, feeling good about her decision.
