Locked in her room, Sennah is still fuming over her fight with her mother. She paces back and forth angrily, muttering curse words and spouting her mother's name in vain. What gave her mom the right to do this to her?! Her life was perfectly fine until SHE had to get all righteous and decided that SHE wanted to adopt a miniature sp00n head!
Drop kicking a pillow, Sennah did all she could to compress a scream. How could her mom be so insensive as to bring a Cardie brat into their family?! It was ludicrous! She KNEW her grandma would loathe every bit of this.
Thinking about her grandma, Sennah was tempted to place a call to Deep Space Nine. She needed someone on her side, and Grandma Nerys would most definitely agree with her.
Unable to resist, Sennah activated her mini-view screen. She sent a message directly to her grandmother's office, requesting a private channel. She'd show her mother, once and for all.

~Deep Space 9~
Fleet Admiral Kira Nerys sat in her office, drifting between sleep and wakefulness. She had a stack of reports to read, and all of them were intensely boring. Suddenly, the comm panel beeped, causing her to sit up straight, and look like she usually did: focused, intense, not bored. Tapping the button with one swift movement, she saw that it wasn't some other member of the Admiralty, it wasn't some underling or bureaucrat, but it was the troubled face of her Starfleet officer granddaughter. A lot more happy and awake, she smiled and turned the scrren towards her a bit more.
"Sennah darling, how are you? I'm so happy to see you!"

"Hi Grandma," Sennah said with a frusterated sigh. "I've been better. How are you?"

"I'm all right. Bored out of my mind at all these reports, but all right." she replies, before homing in on her statement.
"You've been better? Why, what's wrong?"

*With gritted teeth, Sennah gets as close to the viewscreen as possible.*
"You won't believe what mother did...."

"I can believe that she's pissed you off. All moms do that to their kids. What'd she do this time? You didn't date a Nausicaan or Ferengi or something like that, did you? Because then I could somewhat understand..."

*Sennah fidgets a bit at the Ferengi comment (Grandma didn't know how right she was!) but she was able to shake it off and get back to the matter at hand.*
"It's nothing like that, Grandma. Mom's going to adopt a Cardassian!!!"

Upon hearing the "Cardassian" in that sentence, Nerys pauses, and blinks her eyes in rapid succession.
"What do you mean?"

"I MEAN she's going to bring one of those...sp00n heads into our family. You have a Cardassian granddaughter. Congratulations."

"First of all, I never want to hear that disgusting slur out of your mouth ever again. It's not becoming of a Kira. Secondly, when did you find this out?" Nerys snaps, angered.

"Yesterday! She had the gall to think that I would accept that kid as my sister! Well I can't do that, not after what those people did to you and your family! And I'm sorry for using that slur, but that's the only way I know them okay?! They're nothing to me!"

Nerys patiently lets her finish.
"First of all, my issues with the Cardassians are my issues. I do not want my feelings or experiences to be passedon to you unless I want them to be. They have done nothing to you. And I have reconciled my...past history with the Cardassians already. Or did you forget about my exploratory mission into Cardassian Space? Secondly, why should you care about what species it is? I'm sure that your mother and father adopted it because it was in trouble, or simply out of the goodness of their heart. Being hard-hearted like they way you are right now is never a good thing, especially when you are as young as you are. I saw too many people become this way over the years, and I'll be damned if my granddaughter will be one of them. Also, they are "Cardassians", not "Sp00n-Heads" or "Cardies", but "Cardassians". Do I make myself clear, Ensign?"

*Sennah blinked at the monitor. She couldn't believe her grandma was saying these things. Kira Nerys--someone who had hated Cardassians her whole life (or so Sennah thought) was going off on her about tolerance. It was a shock and a wake-up call. Hunching her shoulders, Sennah nodded: she couldn't look her grandmother in the eye.*
"Yes Ma'am."

"Look me in the eye, Ensign Sennah Nerys Thompson, Security Officer aboard the U.S.S Galileo." Nerys said, using her "command tone".

*Sennah looked up; her eyes were intense--reminiscent of the woman who peered back at her.*
