"Yes, that's him!" Susuro confirmed, nodding as he went for another bite of the stew.

He then offered a softer smile.

"Oh, I certainly think that he could do that," he supplied. "But though I haven't yet interacted with him too terribly much myself, I hear that he is a great commanding officer and quite friendly. He may be... a little intense at times? But I sincerely believe you will enjoy working with him, and the rest of the Security crew."

A first day (or few days) anywhere was bound to make anyone a bit nervous, but Susuro hoped his reassurances would quell any major concerns.

Regarding the stew, he perked up a bit again and plucks a piece of carrot with his fork.

"It's quite good! I definitely understand why you like it!"

"Lieutenant Shaxs? The Bajoran male with the slash over his eye? I believe I saw him in the corridor... I do not know if he saw me." The thought of Shaxs noticing him quieted the former Borg. Shaxs was, of course, the prime age to have been a freedom fighter during the Cardassian Occupation. There was no doubt in Trent's mind that he saw so much combat and so much atrocity. "He was very large and very intimidating. He looks like the kind of man who can kill an invader with his bare hands and eats them for breakfast." He knew he was by hyperbolic, but somehow he could imagine the man not being phased by even the Collective.

And if this man was to be his commanding officer...

Trent quickly distracted himself, watching Susuro try the hearty vegetable stew. He lightened slightly. "Oh, how is it?"

"Good! We try to keep everything working as best as it can, so...!"

Susuro is pleased to hear and see that the treatment was a success-- it's a simple fix, of course, but that never managed to make it feel any less significant.

He does, however, have to laugh at Nero's question.

"Most of our mouths aren't big enough. They must make the replicators that way on purpose. Otherwise our infirmary would be for removing them from our digestive tracts!"

The thought alone is funny enough to him that it takes a short moment for him laugh again before resuming the conversation in earnest as they leave the infirmary.

"Ooh! Fried chicken! Wait," Susuro's eyebrows raise a bit. "I want the, um, fixins, as well! I did not know there were other things meant to go with it-- I tried it with yamoksauce once, but I think that's it..."

"Wow. That's even smoother than back home. And it's like a hot knife through butter back there."

Nero slowly tested his leg. It was as good as new-- but with how enthusiastic he felt about this, he'd have said it was better than new. Both because he was continually impressed with the technology, and also trying to earn favor with the Starfleet officer in a way Nero rarely did. Susuro had been a great help when Nero was lost here, at first.

"... Do people actually do that here? Eat the original machine, I mean."

Nero had to be safe. He was a space explorer too. It got weird out there. And Susuro's appetite had left the Technician in some considerable awe before. One time he even pushed his own plate over to Susuro after losing his appetite.

"Forget I asked. I think I could do that too if it doesn't replicate fast enough. I'm fixing for some fried chicken... with all the... fixins. Yeah."

[7thd00r]

we need to be doing everything in our power to acquire and consume tiramisu

[7thd00r]

"Indeed..."

Susuro trails off, just making sure that he's got the Nero's knee situated and extended properly before beginning to carefully use the protoplaser.

"It seems you've just managed some tearing of some tendons here. But you shouldn't have to worry much once I'm done."

So, after a couple of precise passes of the device over the affected area, along with careful monitoring on its screen, the connective tissue is repaired.

"There!" His concentrated expression gives way back to his usual smile as he sets the device aside.

"It might still be a little sore but you should be perfectly fine to walk on it-- and by tomorrow it shouldn't hurt anymore at all. If it does, please come back to see me. As for dinner..."

Susuro begins re-setting the infirmary, making sure anything he used is put away and the area is tidy.

"You caught me just at the end of my shift! So, as soon as... ah!"

Perhaps the timeliness isn't actually surprising, considering the structured scheduling of Starfleet, but it is just then that another lieutenant in blue arrives for their shift. There's a small bit of chatter, just to make sure anything that needs to be monitored is relayed, before Susuro turns back to Nero.

"So-- dinner? I think I could eat an entire replicator right now...!"

Nero nodded.

"There's a time and a place for all things, I guess. That certain nuance that develops from experience. A sense for pacing, applying logic on a situational basis, the sheer variety to contend with..."

The Technician turned to look at a Starfleet officer who had a transporter malfunction of some kind. Another medical specialist had scolded that crewmate earlier for haphazard settings on the transporter console. Dramatic entrances be damned.

"... So, uh. How's my knee? Am I good to stand on that leg again? And perhaps join you at dinner soon?"

[7thd00r]

Susuro is, of course, pleased to hear that Trent likes the yanva, but it's what comes after that excites him the most. Aside from his official duties as a Starfleet officer and medic, he really aspires to do what he can to make his shipmates feel welcome-- and to know he's succeeding in at least this case is grand.

"Oh, I'm so glad!" His big violet eyes might as well be sparkling. Under the table, his tail curls in his delight. "Friends, for sure! I think you will like it here very much."

Susuro fully believes that his new friend will make more friends among the crew, but from the way others have looked at him today, he's aware that it may not be the easiest of transitions. "Should you need anything at all, please let me know. It's certainly not easy to start in a new place, especially one as chaotic as this ship can be..."

As he makes this understatement, he portions out some of the stew for himself and takes a bite. It's not something he goes for too often, but he absolutely sees the appeal of such a 'comfort food'.

"But I know the crew won't let you feel too alone. And... you are in security, yes? Lieutenant Shaxs is wonderful-- I think he will like you very much!"

Trent's shoulders relaxed in the universal human way of deflating whenever they've tried good food for the first time. "The sweetness of this is perfect... and strangely comforting after subjecting my mouth to that assault." He chuckled smally then took one more bite and set the yanva aside, but close by, apparently deciding to save all the comfort for the end.

"This is a good meal, Susuro. Thank you for sharing it with me." He said sincerely. "I was apprehensive about the Cerritos at first, but this has helped set me at ease." Though perhaps the real test would begin when he met the others in his department.

"I am pleased to call you friend."

[ with @trblshot | from here ]

Susuro hums in agreement, folding his arms as his head tilts some in thought.

"That's true. Self-preservation is important, but there is an extent where it becomes more of an apprehension... I suppose it is important also to know what or who you are willing to face death for, no?"

That said, some things he has seen working in medbay have made him wish some folks did have a little more fear in them.

"Everything in moderation. A healthy amount of fear is good. Enough to keep you safe, but not enough that you stifle yourself. Too much or not enough... both can end badly."

[7thd00r]

🪢 for our muses to be handcuffed together without the key ( Trent and Susuro, a landing party turns spicy! @wolves-of-etoile )

As much as Susuro enjoys meeting new people and learning about new places, he has always been very happy with the Cerritos' handling of 'second contact'. The tension and unsureness of first contact falls onto another crew and so usually...or...at least, fairly often, their role is generally safer and smoother than initial contact would be.

Usually.

First contact with Kerlis III had been relatively smooth as far as first contacts go. Pretty advanced but suffering some atmospheric issues-- Starfleet had agreed to help them monitor things and provide assistance where they could, so long as the Kerlisian government would allow it.

That approval process was still ongoing (seems there had to be a lot of deliberation, what with the newness of the Federation to them), but in the meantime, the Cerritos was charged with learning more.

Naturally, Susuro was to gather data about the atmosphere as well as the planet's ecology-- meet with some scientists and then venture into some of the wilderness beyond the capital city, and Malcolm as security was to accompany him on that endeavor.

Susuro is dressed with additional layers under his outer science blues, and has made sure to pack an actual coat as well-- Kerlis III is nearing its winter, so the temperatures are relatively low. It shouldn't be too cold for most humans to need more than a jacket, but as an Ambystarian he can't be too prepared!

And indeed, as they speak with some of the scientists at the weather station, this winter is predicted to be colder than the last, which was colder than the one before, owing to the deterioration of their outer atmosphere.

Once they'd finished up collecting their data there, they're given directions to a particularly interesting wildlife reserve where they'll be able to log some findings of the area.

Susuro had been under the impression that they'd have a Kerlisian guide, but when none is offered or designated, he doesn't outwardly question it, instead opting to head for the area they'd been directed to.

It's a nice time, and despite the chill Susuro really enjoys the chance to be out in nature, capturing images and logging notes about flora and fauna as well as different notes on the atmosphere.

They are walking and cataloguing for quite some time when suddenly Susuro hears a loud thwack, and as he sees Malcolm go down he barely has time to react before something hits his own head and he's out cold.

He comes to slowly, and then is immediately on alert when he realizes they'd been knocked out and moved, apparently, to some kind of small structure, seemingly abandoned here in the strange woods... And handcuffed... to each other?

They're on the floor, and their cuffs are strung through the rung of a ladder bolted onto the wall they'd been propped up against.

"Trent!" Susuro whispers, turning as best he can to try and check on his friend and teammate. "Are you alright?"

[7thd00r]

[ 🍻 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat kind of drunk are they ? ( Or the Ambystarian equivalent! )

[ 🐾 ]ㅤ.ㅤdo animals like them instinctively ?

( From @wolves-of-etoile )

[ ✎ㅤ. . .ㅤ𝑯𝑬𝑨𝑫𝑪𝑨𝑵𝑶𝑵 𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑺. ]

[ 🍻 ] . what kind of drunk are they ?

Susuro is a very fun, affectionate drunk... usually. He's a little bit of a lightweight in that he does get intoxicated pretty fast, but I think with his metabolism boosted it probably takes a lot more to get him properly sloshed lol. So for much of that time he's a good-time party drunk, hyping up his friends, etc. Then it gets to the emotional "i love you sooooooo much, you're such a good friend, etc etc etc" even if he doesn't know the person well lol. But then you know he's probably done for the night when something strikes his mind a certain way, or he's been holding some feelings in, and he just gets...mopey and sad, might even cry. he might still be clingy but in a different way, or he might decide he needs to go sit on the bathroom floor or something lol

[ 🐾 ] . do animals like them instinctively ?

You know, I think so probably? He is very energetic and occasionally a little overbearing in that regard but at the same time he's got great compassion and bedside manner so I think he knows how to town it down enough to not spook a skittish critter. He may not be the best at training them or getting them to behave lol but I think they would feel comfortable with him for sure.

[7thd00r]

Susuro nods emphatically along with Trent's statement. There are so many flavors out there-- some bold, some subtle, many indescribable-- that being confined to a diet lacking in any of them would be a sad, miserable way for him.

He watches excitedly as Malcolm tries a bite of the yanva, and decides to try a bit of it himself (as much as he loves the spice of the hasperat, it's probably a good idea to douse it a little before he goes in on the stew). Susuro himself has yet to have anything to which he can compare this particular variety, but it is very akin to a Terran sweet potato, just with a much sweeter flavor, and perhaps with a touch of banana.

"What do you think?" he asks, eager though open for any reaction. "I know it isn't as strongly sweet as other desserts I've tried, but..."

Trent's organic eye watered. And when he finally swallowed (or more like gulped), he expelled a spicy hasperat-laden breath. A child-like part of him expected something like dragon's fire, and he futilely tried to wash it down with some water.

"I completely agree," he croaked. He sat there, panting, and then managed a few laughs at the ridiculous sight they must have presented to anyone watching. Fortunately, most people appeared to be paying attention to their own food or friend groups. "I..." He took a deep breath through the mouth, cooling it. "Would rather regenerate in a booth than consume bland nutrient pastes or other foods." Much of his early rehabilitation had been like such, to get his stomach used to food again.

Mostly recovered by now, Trent eyed the other unfamiliar item, the yanva. He forked up a small piece of the teal fudge-like dish. "I will try some of this now." After something spicy, something sweet would have been welcome. Well, being made from fruit implied something sweet... per Earth norms.. Of course, he also could've been completely wrong. "To adventure," he said stoically. He then gave the yanva an experimental bite.
