Do you know what the Orion thing to do in this situation would be? [ she doesn't give him time to answer (she also doesn't talk about her people very often, secretive about that by nature). ] Take advantage of it. Seize the opportunity and work it to your advantage. But, that's not the Starfleet way. The Starfleet way is to be calm and collected, to analyze and learn and not freak out.

[ so maybe she's freaking out. it's been a rough year. ]
