"Xasik it is then" Zex replied. She offered the man a smile and a nod. But she pondered his comment a moment.
"Commander Briggs is off site at the moment, and we have no SO currently. And Kirok is in the ready room, but I might be able to send an email and get you situated. Do you have anything of note that needs immediate attention among your belongings or can you wait for a reply from the OCC?" she asked as she pulled out her PADD.
Xasik considered Zex's question for a moment. His belongings were important to him, but not as important as the egg in stasis on his back. Until he had quarters to safely set up an environment for it, it would stay with him where he could protect it.
"œI can wait for a reply from the OCC. Belongings can be replaced should something unsavory happen but lives can not and the urgency I sense in the air tells me that we should not waste time if possible."

It is very important to me and I am not comfortable with the idea of leaving it behind." He considered adding that it required monitoring but decided against bringing that up. It wasn't exactly common practice for someone to tote around a Tholian egg, and he had only just met these people. He had no idea how they would react to being told such a thing.< Katra Station / Turbolift >
She looked at Zex and gave her a thankful nod before she focused on Xasik again.
"œIn case you can not be assigned to a quarter before we head out, I suppose you can also leave your items in a marked stash in the shuttle bay of the docking saucer."
Judging by the noises, he had rocks with him in that bag, and"¦ Whatever he had in the sealed container, she assumed it could not be anything particularly dangerous, otherwise he would not directly carry it on his back"¦"œEither way, I advise we hurry up..." She calmly spoke.
Just as if it had been timed, the doors of the Turbolift hissed open, presenting the view across the wide corridor leading to Docking Saucer 1.
As the turbolift doors hissed open to reveal the corridor, Xasik had to hold back a quiet hiss of his own. The lights hurt his eyes. He regretted not wearing his contacts so he knelt down and opened his bag just enough to stick a hand inside. He knew where the case for them was so it didn't take him long to fish it out. Ignoring the other two briefly he put the contacts in with practiced ease before closing his bag and standing back up again.
"œI shall find a stash to place my bag in and join you immediately." He nodded politely to Sirol and Zex. He was aware that his aura was a bit hostile and he hadn't really meant it to be so. He would apologise later if he found that he worked well with the two strangers. The last thing he needed was to sour any possible acquaintances that he may have to work with in future.
Excusing himself briefly he picked up his bag and winced slightly as it crunched and grinded. He made his way down the corridor and towards what appeared to be lockers against the wall and inquired with an officer there about leaving his bag and retrieving it later. It didn't take long to safely tuck his bag away in a secure location. He was back with Sirol and Zex as quickly as possible, canister securely on his back.
