Sek is very against Tuvok working for Starfleet and quitting his job as a professor because he doesn't like Starfleet but also bc he doesn't want his father to get hurt or killed. Elieth thinks their father being a Starfleet officer is so much cooler than a professor so they're both hypothesizing about different things he might be doing on the ship but Sek is disconcerted by them while Elieth is enamored. Varith is too young to care about anything.
T'Pel tells them both that Tuvok's job is likely far more mundane than either imagines and that regardless of what he's doing she's sure he's performing his duty admirably, with the same proficiency and dignity that made him a respected professor in their hometown.
Suddenly they hear screaming. "It transported up! Stop it! It got out! Catch it! Catch it!" and before they can react a gigantic frog-like alien thing is standing in front of them, blocking the corridor. T'Pel draws the children closer as a security officer steps in front of them and aims their phaser at the frog, informing the others of its whereabouts.
Seconds later a science ensign leaps onto the beast's back and tries to inject it with a hypo spray but they're thrown off. This happens several times with many different science, medical, and security officers until finally like five of them pin the frog down and are able to inject it, inducing it to vomit up Tuvok who slowly slides face-first down the corridor until his head hits T'Pel's shoe. His body is limp.
Varith, a toddler, perks up at this sight and points. "Sasa!"
Yaaay <3 Father is here <3 Do you guys not see him~?? <3
