Chapter Six: A New Life:

Author's Note: 8D! A new chapter for you... I don't own Star Trek but Zorek is mine!

"You must be Zorek. I am the captain of the Nightflyer, Kira Rivers. I understand you are to be my first officer. Welcome aboard Zorek." Rivers said.

Zorek smiled slightly and offered his hand. She shook it eagerly.

"Come on, let's go meet some of the other crew members."

Zorek followed Rivers to the bridge when his eyes meet a cardassian.

"A cardassin here?"

"I could ask the same question, romulan. I'm the chief of security. My name is Marq."

Rivers gestured towards a young man.

"This is Sanders, our ensign. He's relatively new here too."

Zorek took one look at Sanders and struggled not to fall into tears. His wide smile reminded Zorek of his recently passed uhlans.

"Are you alright, sir?" Sanders asked.

"Sorry I was remembering something."

"I see."

Next, Zorek was lead to Sick Bay, where he was meet face to face with a female vulcan.

"A vulcan, great."

"Commander."

"This is our chief of medicine, Dr. Selar." Rivers explained.

"A vulcan chief of medicine? How can you be a doctor with no care whether someone lives or dies?"

"I am capable of empathy."

"It's hard to imagine a vulcan that could feel something."

"Having no emotions doesn't need to mean I'm incapable of caring."

"Could have fooled me."

Selar raises her eyebrows in interest.

"Vulcans. I still don't understand how you guys survive when you repressing everything."

"And I don't understand how romulans deal with their heightened emotions."

"Good one." Zorek said smiling widely. "It's going to be interesting working with you. I'm Commander Zorek."

"We'll see commander."
