At first, Alex wasn't sure exactly what Beno was talking about, but then it quickly became obvious. He gave her a sly grin and then watched as Reyna was walking away. She began to slow her pace for a couple of steps, then came to a stop before turning to look at Beno, as if puzzled. Reyna walked back over, her face seemed unsure if it was thinking hard or hiding a grin, but she folded her arms across her chest, as if trying to be serious.
"I can't remember the word I wanted to use, but you're being silly on purpose." She glanced over to where Julia Troy was with her animals, "Those are the only other animals worth considering on this ship, and I know you weren't serious about them."
Alex tried to treat it seriously, "Well, if you're applying for the job, she might need to know if you're qualified first."
Reyna almost looked offended, "Father, I know the holographic interface almost as well as you do. I also have better ice cream recipes than you do, including those that can accommodate any allergies and cultural requirements. I can be more specific if you give me an up to date cultural briefing before meeting them, otherwise I can't be responsible for any interstellar fallout that might result from inappropriate interactions with crew or other civilians on the ship. I may not have your diplomatic experience, but I have read all of the material and already have 2 credits toward it registered with my remote school towards future academy degree programs. I would have more, but I got interested in science the past few months."
Alex looked at Beno and tried not to laugh, "See what I mean? Also...um...Thor is not only a sort of nanny, but is equipped with certain security features. We can discuss that in detail later, if you want, but you couldn't ask for a better covert security program. Beyond the instant protective features, the emergency program that can kick in, flew a medivac shuttle in combat operations and even taught sniper tactical training for marine units for a short time...oh, and was a mom to a very strong willed daughter who was accepted for the Engineering program at the Academy."
Reyna smiled at Thor, "Yes, I miss Sarah, but if the universe gets dangerous, I always know that part of her is hiding in there somewhere. She taught me how to shoot."
Alex cleared hi throat, "Yes, but let's not have any of that on the entertainment roster, shall we?"
Reyna gave an exasperated look, rolling her eyes, "As if these people would let me near a range..."
Alex now looked to Beno, "Well? You started this."
As if to punctuate the moment, Thor approached Beno, sat very close and placed his head on top of her leg.
