Description

Chafak's days at Starfleet are stressful to be sure. It's not bad enough that he's a "redshirt" assigned to security detail at the busiest entrance to Starfleet headquarters with a daily volume of visitors that numbers in the thousands. No, his woes go much deeper than that, for Chafak and his direct supervisor have, let's say, "a history." Now you might wonder how that could be possible between ranks of service personnel. Surely it would be illogical to allow such relationships. Well, Chafak's history predates his Starfleet career and involved a Pon Farr "indiscretion" that now makes his daily interactions with his supervisor, um,…"uncomfortable." Not a day goes by when she doesn't remind him of that indiscretion through actions of forced embarrassment, or humiliation. And you thought Vulcans were in control of their emotions? No my friend, they have them in spades. They are just much, much better than humans at hiding them and can be coldly logical in how they spurn an ex-mate. Such is the fate of Chafak to be the daily target of piercingly logical spite from his supervisor. Fortunately, Chafak's neighbor and bestie is a highly developed Great Ban Tern. Similar to Earthly parrots in the same manner as a Human is like a Spider Monkey, Great Ban Terns are not limited to mindless repetition. No, these ornithological wonders are so good at actively listening, reflecting, Socratic questioning (though it's not called that on the planet Vulcan), empathy, and validation, that they are often employed as counselors at Starfleet. How fortunate for Chafak that he can end each stressful day with a friend who actually desires to hear about how awful it was. We're we all to be so fortunate as to have a Great Ban Tern as our neighbor and good friend.
