The Becoming Of A Crayterian

[Doreen]

She looked up at the three men who approached her. She smiled at them and quipped, "I don't think I've ever had three men approach me at once. Maybe my luck is finally changing."
She then stood up and offered her hand as her smile brightened a bit, "Please, have a seat and a drink."
Sitting down, she began to introduce herself. "Yes, I am Dr. Doreen Naggar. It is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Atreides."

She kept her demeanor pleasant, professional and with a touch of humor. As a courtesy, she turned off her datapad and placed it face down on the table. She gave them a glance.
"I have been doing some reading on the Crayterian Republic," she explained, "I think the Pheonix is a fitting symbol for all that the Crayterian people have accomplished and been through."
She then paused, placing her open hand over the upper part of her chest as she sighed, "I'm having one of those moments where I'm not sure where to begin."
With her other hand, she took a sip of wine.
