He had blended elements of Terran eagles with ravens to reform his head into a bird like shape. He had an impressive bird crest of black and brown feathers, a sharp bird of prey's beak, and large yellow piercing eagle eyes.

  His body was covered in short down like black feathers. His hands had been scaled and reformed into taloned hands. The talons were long and black. The admiral had never gotten into the fad of bioforming oneself. To go through the pain and suffering of changing your shape for fashion? He had been happy the way he'd been. Synergist, tech wizard.

She'd then taken an ops position in the B101a1 fortress before being promoted and shipped out to Antigua for another run in Ops. With a little coaching the young woman might be able to hit it off with the admiral. She also made a notation in the woman's file that she should broaden her career slightly with a tour in some of the other departments starting with intelligence.
