Data POV
"Miss Charlee, if you will please come with me. I can escort you to some quarters." I said as I walked back into the room. She turned to face me and nodded. Worf helped her to stand and kept hold of her right elbow as the three of us made our way out of the isolation room.
'Can Worf come with us?' She asked.
"She would like to know if you would be joining us, Worf?"
"Of course." As we slowly made our way out of sickbay and into the hallway that housed the Medical Quarters we began a fascinating conversation, with me interpreting for Worf.
'Both of you are aliens, right?'
"That is correct. I am an android and Lieutenant Worf is a Klingon."
'An android is a robot humanoid, right?'
"That is correct."
"What is a Cling-on?"
"A K-L-I-N-G-O-N are a warrior race that recently joined the Federation of Planets."
'What is the sign for Android and Klingon?'
"I do not believe that there is one. I am the only one of my kind and the Klingons have not developed a form of sign language."
'I will have to think of sign names for you then.'
"What's a 'sign name'?" Worf asked.
"A gesture used in place of spelling ones' name over and over. Do you have one Miss Charlee?"
'Yes. My name is the sign for music with the letter C instead of M.'
"Fascinating. I have read that sign names have been given great significance in Earth's Deaf Culture. Is this true where you are from?"
'For those not born or raised in the signing community, it can be. Since sign names can only be given. You cannot make up your own.'
"Why?" Worf asked.
'Sign names are usually based off of your personality or an inside joke with friends or family. So, one person can have multiple names depending on who they are with or they could have one name spread across the community.' She explained.
"Does your name have great significance?" I asked. She nodded but did not elaborate her answer. I surmised that she did not wish to tell us and since we had reached her quarters it was an excellent time to end the conversation.
"Here are your quarters, Miss Charlee. They are close to sickbay should you need any more medical attention."
'Thank you, Data and Worf.'
"You are welcome. I will leave you to get acquainted with your rooms." I said as I walked to the nearby turbo-lift so that I could return to my duties on the bridge.
