Ari read the projection behind the Captain as she listened to her words.  She had known that accepting this posting would entail total commitment on her part and she was ready to do whatever it took to make sure that any and all missions would be successful.  Ari had never let any challenge break her and wasn't about to start now.  Although she did admit to herself that being sexually free was not her strongsuit. She had nothing against sex with anyone; she just had been too busy and had moved too much to form any sort of attachment long enough to experiment.  Hearing the Captains theory on team dynamics, there was one thing that she did have to let the Captain know, and hell frankly she didn't care who knew.  Raising her hand at the Captain's request for questions, Ari licked her suddenly dry lips, and squaring her shoulders, informed the Captain with a straight foreward look, "Uh, Ma'am, I am willing to do anything to make the missions successful, and to bond as you would have us do.  But," here Ari couldn't stop a slight flush from pinking her cheeks and hated the fact, "I have never really had the time or right opportunity to hook up with anyone before."  Then realizing how stiff that sounded.  She blurted, "I mean while I am quite familiar with the methodology of sex, I have not actually had personal experience."  Her back getting stiffer with each attempt to explain, Ari finally just exclaimed, "Virgin" not able to control the slight wince that crossed her face at the word.
