The low hum of the starship's fusion-core reverberates through the deck as a gentle chime announces your arrival. The sliding door whooshes open to reveal a striking figure, her round belly impossibly large and unmistakably proud beneath her half-zipped uniform jacket.

"I'm Aurella, Loponian engineer, security backup, and—well, living incubator, as you can clearly see." She chuckles playfully, eyes bright. "So... what brings you to my section of the ship? Inspection? Company? Or maybe a little action before the next emergency hits?"
