<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d7/Maira-Snowpaw.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Ensign Maira Snowpaw (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Maira_Snowpaw)<br/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Helm Station<br/><br/><strong>Time:</strong>Mid Morning<br/><br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Chief Petty Officer Par, Captain Lyra Core, Open to all bridge officers and crew<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The next few moments came along as Maira was glad that her spirits decided to stop talking to her for a while.  Avoiding a few more asteroids while in warp took a great deal of skill as she pressed a few buttons, deviating from the course set for a second or two before re-aligning the ship back to the course of their destination.  "That was close."  She whispered to herself but she didn't expect what was going to happen next.<br/><br/>As the sparks came out from just outside of her legs, she let out a loud shriek of surprise, inadvertently going back to her Navajo language.  "Daa ne-teh éi!?"  She shouted as the universal translator picked it up after a second as "What was that!?"  Jumping off of her chair, she was clearly shaken up as she noticed the blue Andorian CPO coming along.  "Ahhh! I've got it, I'm on it!" came the calm response as Maira looked at the woman replicating a new power relay and coming over to her station to replace it.  Still a little shaken she watched the Andorian at work as her nerves were still on edge.  The calming question did help Maira to calm down a bit as she breathed softly for just a bit.<br/><br/>"Do you mind if I ask who it is you're talking to?" came the soft voice from the Andorian.  Maira's breath started to return to normal as she heard the Andorian continue speaking.  "I've heard you talking to someone who wasn't there before. It's kinda weird, but kinda cute too!" came the reassuring voice from the Andorian.  Maira never thought that someone would think of her talking to her spirits would be cute.  Par seemed to be the first person that Maira could possibly have a connection with as she let out a very relieving smile while watching Par complete her work.<br/><br/>"Thank you.  I am glad that someone on this ship is not offended by my... outbursts."  She admitted as she started to explain, feeling just a little more comfortable around the Andorian.  "In my tribe, we have animal spirits that guide us to a path of clarity and peace.  I was talking to Maico, my wolf spirit and one of many spirits that try to guide me on my path.  Nobody but me hears my spirits... and I have not found a way for anyone else to communicate with them.  Maybe someday, people will not think of me as a nutcase."  She sighed softly as she watched Par replacing the relay.<br/><br/>"I have seen you around the ship but... I never caught your name.  I'm Maira... Maira Snowpaw."  She introduced herself to the Andorian.  She didn't care that associating with Non-Cons was probably forbidden but if someone wanted to learn more about her world and her tribal ways, to hell with the consequences.
