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?"
 
The small officer turned to look at who spoke and quickly realized he was going to have to raise his sights.  His eyes slowly slid up the behemoth sitting next to him.  As he did so, Torgath noticed that the bulk was enclosed in a Security uniform.  "Yes ... how can I help you?" he replied slowly.
 
"I am Geb Briknor.  I understood we have been assigned as partners."
 
A smile filled out Torgath's face, further increasing the similarity between him and a leprechaun.  "You must be Ensign Briknor.  I must admit that I have never met someone from your race.  You are a bit larger than I had expected."
 
(Geb?)
