{Ten Foward}

:: Ingoldo is finishing his ice-cream when his comm badge chirps. ::

Computer: "Incoming transmission from Betazed."

Ingoldo: " I will take it at the nearby consol outside Ten Foward. 
Relay the message there. " :: Ingoldo gets up and walks toward the 
doors. :: 

:: At the computer consol he opens the message from the Betazed 
authoritys about his relationship towards Ensign Dusty Redroi. ::

:: He returns to Ten Foward after reading the information and walks 
towards the table where Ensign Koptuka and Ensign Redroi are eating 
dinner. ::

Ingoldo: "Ensign Redroi I am sorry to disturb you while you are 
eating dinner, but the information I requested from Betazed has 
arrived."

Redroi: " By all means. May I intruduce Ensign Beth Koptuka. And it 
is _Dusty_"

Ingoldo: "It is an honour Ensign." :: Shakes her hand :: "I belive 
this is how humans greets. Ingoldo, it goes for both of you off duty."

Koptuka: "Ingoldo I am happy to meet you. I know of you, you are the 
new Chief Science officer. I know of the custom of shaking hands due 
to the fact I am half human. But, I still find some of their _odd_ 
rituals strange." :: Smiles :: "And Beth off duty."

Redroi: "You had information regarding my mother and The Third House?"

Ingoldo: "Yes, :: Looks down at the PADD he brought with him:: your 
mother was of the Third House but we are not cousins. Instead we are 
something along the lines my mothers mothers cousins sisters child. 
The record do not tell why she moved to Earth or anything else along 
those lines, but such information is not kept in public records."

Redroi: "Then we are related?" :: Smiles ::

Ingoldo: "Yes it seems so." :: Smiles :: "Then I welcome you to our 
house _Ensign Dusty Redroi _."

Redroi: "I.... Thank you." :: Seems a bit surprised :: "You seem 
curious about something else Ingoldo?"

Ingoldo: "I find it strange that you suppress your mental abilitys."

Redroi: "Mental abilitys?" :: Redroi is very suprised. :: What 
abilities are you talking about?"

Ingoldo: "You are not aware of your own abilities. How strange? Dusty 
do you not have a sense of the others around them? Like you almost 
know what they are feeling?
