Is everything alright?"</em><br/><br/>Liara heard Commander Vanzell approach long before she heard him, but she cringed when she heard him address her as someone who was not familiar with Bajoran custom might, using the given name as her surname.  She had expected most starfleet officers were aware of the custom, but apparently the Klingon's were not.  Taking a moment to compose herself, thinking it was a good thing she had run to her room for a shower, realizing how close the First Officer was standing near her.  Liara slowly turned to the Commander, standing before she addressed him.  "I'm very sorry sir.  I was running a simulation in the holodeck for updates to the new Astrometrics systems in my time before my shift started and I lost track of time."  Liara took heart in the fact that any attempts to confirm her story through ships logs without the proper coding would show exactly what she told him.  She reminded herself she needed to send a thank you to Rom for teaching her all he did about holodeck systems before she left.  "It won't happen again sir."  She said with a smile and a nod as she watched his eyes for any indication he didn't believe her.<br/>
