<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/b2/Alanahrei_header.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Commander Alanah Rei (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Alanah_Rei)<br/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>On the edge of a path, crouching by a dying cactus<br/><br/><strong>Time:</strong>Star date 41056, early evening<br/><br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Anyone<br/><hr/><div style="text-align: justify;">Alanah looked up when she heard the “hello”. It was not a formal greeting and Alanah, who had worked hard to earn the promotion of Commander, did not quite appreciate it. The hologram knew that this was Alanah’s work place, it wasn’t like they were meeting in the Ten Forward where being formal was sometimes thrown away to the profit of a friendship or something more. Her programming was flawed, or was this an attempt at appearing more human?<br/><br/>“Good evening, Lieutenant.” Alanah said, returning her attention to the dying plan. With a gloved hand she very delicately manipulated the green blades that should not be so soft or bend so easily as it did now. “Do as you have to do. Simply give me a warning if you intend to make it rain. I will be taking cover.” She simply answered, accompanied with a nod of her head. Her eyes went from the plant that she examined to the other being in the room.<br/><br/>The plant showed no signs of bugs, no spots or any sign other than a slight discoloration, and had completely lost its texture to turn into more of a jelly-like feeling under the tough skin of the blades. “Hmm…” Alanah made, now no longer speaking aloud to the plant, but rather remained quiet. She took a soil sample, a sample of the plant knowing she could cut a blade without damaging the entire plant, and a sample of everything that surrounded it. She was very meticulous with her work. “The soil appears to be a bit dry.” She remarked and lifted her gaze to rest it onto the Lieutenant as she addressed her.<br/></div><br/>
