The Lieutenant walked up to the board and highlighted his name. As you can
see, you have been assigned to work near Primary Sickbay. You will be
working with Ensign Torgath.

He did not recognize the race or gender that would go with that name.  "Is
he or she here?"

"Mr. Torgath should be in the briefing room. We usually start each shift
with a briefing about possible criminals coming through the station or
things that we need to be particularly aware of.  I can escort you to the
room if you would like.  The briefing should be starting in about five
minutes."

"That would be wonderful.  Please lead the way."

The lovely blue lady led Geb through the back of the common area were all
the desk were to a door.  Once they arrived, it slid aside.  There were a
number of Security officers already there.  The room was arranged with rows
of tables.  Two tables per row each having two chairs.  There were aisles on
the outside and in the middle of the each row.  "Feel free to take a seat,
Mr. Briknor.  Mr. Torgath is right over there," she said indicated a small
dwarf-like officer.   Geb was not likely familiar with his race.

Geb's ebony eyes widened as he took in the look of his small partner.  The closest thing he could think of was a leprechaun from early Earth fables.  They would definitely make an interesting pair.

Neera smiled as she saw Geb's reaction.  Talk about Mutt and Jeff.  "Please
let me know if there is anything I can help you with, Mr. Briknor," she said
before turning back to head to her desk.

Geb turned and watched her walk away.  He had to admit that there was a lot of humor in the situation.  He did not say anything as she left.  Instead, he made his way over to his new partner and sat down next to him.  "Mr. Torgath?"

"I am Geb Briknor.  I understood we have been assigned as partners."
