[NPC - Slate to-Allanien - Puzzles, Deck 230, SBC]
Slate's world had been so thoroughly upended in recent times, he hardly knew his tail from his nose. He had left Sivao, where he had been a healer for some time, in order to join the Federation in the field of elder care. After months of training, he found his first job on the Starbase Columbus, where the Starfleet crew had come from.
Initially, he had thought the job would be to care for one of the crew's apparent elders, Judy Eastman, usually Professor, formerly Commander, sometimes Doctor, but he had found to his surprise that he was caring for her grandmother, Estelle Roth (or Your Honor, or Judge Roth). He couldn't help but wonder if all human women over a certain age collected more names.
The presence of another Sivaoan, one with the unusual moniker "Descant to-Harmony", seemed like a potential for steadiness in a world that sometimes confused Slate, so he reached out to her, through Professor Eastman, to arrange this dinner date.
He sat in a booth, looking around with his bluish-greenish eyes, waiting for a face that, only compared to the humans, was familiar.
