Timeline: Morning of the party
ON:
Nila yawned as she rolled out of her bed, it was always weird for her to get used to sleeping a new set of quarters. The Bajoran took a quick sonic shower and then got ready for the day, she still had an hour before her duty shift started but she still liked to get up and ready so she was alert for any problems she needs to take care of. She steps outside her quarters and straight into someone else.
Harry was taking Sif for her morning workout before his own duty shift started, When as he was passing some crew quarters when all of a sudden young Ensign Nila walked straight into him nearly knocking him over. Harry said," Ensign, Are you all right?" as he was worried that something might be wrong with her sight.
Nila looks up and sighs, "I'm fine Lieutenant Stevens, I just don't like the mornings." She groaned as she looks down at the dog, she just kinda looked at it confused. "I didn't know pets were allowed on this ship." Nila still had bags under her eyes but she would be her normal grumpy self once she had some coffee.
Harry looked back at her and said "Lady Sif is not my pet, but my Partner Ensign," as he gave her a smile and tapped his side as Sif came to his side, "She is the same as you and I a member of this crew and a member of the K9 division," Sif sat down next to Harry, Harry finished," and she is willing to give her life to protect those that can not protect themselves,"
Nila crossed her arms, "She is still a pet. Pet dogs are still willing to give their lives if they are trained to." The Bajoran looked at the dog focusing on her.
As he looked at her, He asked the young Ensign, " would you like to say hello to her?" as he wanted the enlisted to be comfortable around her and not to fear Sif unless they knew she would know something was up.
"Hello, dog." Her words were cold Nila didn't care too much for pets. It was just more work for animals that most of the time didn't or couldn't help out.
"She is not a Pet but a working Dog and her name is Lady Sif," replied Harry looking at the young Ensign, He continued, "And you would be pleased that we have her," as Sif gave her a small growl, Harry finished, "if she saved your life," as Harry tapped side of his Leg and she returned to his side once more.
"If it barks like a pet, walks like a pet, and looks like a pet you know what it is? A pet." Nila narrows her eyes, "Even if your pet saves my life guess what, it will still be a pet."
"Ensign, as you are in my department," replied Harry looking at her, "You will report to the K9 Division and you will be either placed with a service animal yourself or you will clean the kenalls out," replied Harry as he knew that the young officer needed to be taught a lesson.
"Seeing as I am the Chief of Operations and not a member of your security team I will decline your request, Lieutenant JG." Nila narrowed her eyes. "That would be like me ordering you to dismantle and then put together our sensor array."
"Ensign, you may be the Chief Ops Officer," replied Harry glaring at her, he continued, "You have insulted a fellow officer and as such you will need to learn respect for others and that includes all the service animals aboard this ship," as he looked back at her "and I will be speaking to the Captain,"
"I give respect when it is earned Lieutenant Stevens and you have all the free will to tell the Captain just make sure you keep your pet on a leash." Nila smiled. "You remind me of my first Captain." She laughed as she began to walk away from Harry.
Harry watched the young Ensign leave and knew that with that attitude she would not get far up the ranks and would need a touch of humility to set her straight, as he also knew that the officers under her command would not listen to her. As he turned and headed off towards his office, he would have to speak to the captain about it.
