Impression
"Doctor Katherine Manx, sir," the young lady shakes the blue paw outstretched to her.
Cruger surveys the new technician critically. She is a Felid, and one of maybe two or three left in the universe. Brilliant, as her record shows, reflecting her multiple degrees, extensive field expertise/experience, top of her classes and entirely credentialed by the Academy. Her eyes are sharp and intelligent, pupils dilating as she combs his form as well. He tries to be professional, but his eyes drop to the rest of her, past her chestnut curls to the slopes and curves of her body. As they reach the tantalizing curve of her hips he takes his paw back to cover up his attraction to her. This is his new employee—he can't be ogling her beauty! "Very impressive, Doctor Manx, I've heard many great things of you."
"Thank you, Commander," she offers a controlled smile and tilts her head out of predominant nature. "I have been hearing of your record as well, and I am honored to meet the hero of Sirius. I am sorry for your planet."
"I am sorry for yours," he returns automatically. The two share a dark gaze for a moment and he knows that she is as damaged from it as he is. "Tell me of this project you proposed."
"High Commander Birdy has not approved it, sir," she answers with a deeply buried stubbornness. He can hear it, though, and nods for her to continue.
"A history of rangers would tell us that select humans known as 'power rangers' have been appearing on Earth for many years. These special homo sapiens have been able to fight enemies such as Lord Zedd at better capacity than any other force. I suggested that we take advantage of the humanoid component and strengthen it in a controlled, experimental paradigm."
"I see, and I understand the potential you see. However, I know Birdy turned you down because he didn't believe the humans could be capable of such things." Doggie turns his critical gaze to the dazzling emerald eyes of the young Miss Manx. She matches his fire and intensity easily. "What makes you believe so strongly in humans, Doctor Manx?"
"We have seen boundless destruction in the world of humans. They are, for the most part, creatures driven by instinct and primal natures, of average intelligence, and by no means incredible. For the most part, that is. It would seem that, once in a while, there are a few that exceed this standard of mediocrity. A handful of humans have demonstrated excellence in strength, intelligence, and most of all, resolve. Although the crumbling of past societies is entirely by fault of humans, so too is the rebuilding of new, better civilizations in their place. No matter how many times humans face hopeless situations, it doesn't seem to stop them. They keep working toward a future—fighting for another chance at tomorrow. I believe this is what makes them ideal candidates for this project. I believe in human beings."
Cruger finds a spark in her eyes, something he has only seen in great warriors and fighters with something precious to protect—to fight for. She is unwavering, her eyes clear, and even if she weren't so highly credible, he would have to admire her simply for her adamance. "All right, Doctor Manx, tell me more."
"I call it Project Delta Morpher," Kat is calm, trying to control her victorious smirk. "My technology allows for a completely calculated and structured function of accessing ranger abilities. The morphers would be exclusive to the rangers, selected through environmental trial."
"The SPD academy...put one on Earth?" it's foreign, but he's willing to believe in her.
"Yes, sir; I believe that the SPD Earth academy could be the key to defeating the Troobian Empire." When Cruger gives her a small smile she feels she has made a good impression.
