Jez arrived at her quarter to her room mate and friend K'vada, K’vada was one of three people that Jez trusted with her baby. Yes, it was a cryo-Statis pod, holding her fertilized egg, but to her it was a baby. K’vada was Vulcan on her mothers side and Klingon on her father’s side, she was kind and very intelligent,she was book smart, but a little street dumb However, Jez liked her as K’vada could offer an unjaded opinion when it came to problems. When Jez’s brought the cryo-Stasis unit to their quarters K’Vada became very protective of the baby as the girls called it.
Jez took a quick sonic shower and put on a fresh uniform, she quickly checked her messages, when a chill went down her spine, there was a message from Devyn Ukinix, of the Ninth House and father of her unborn child she read the message.
[ To: Jez Mala
From: Devyn Ukinix
It has come to my attention that you are carrying a Child of the Ninth House. However, as you are a mongrel and unworthy to raise such a noble child as one that possesses Blood of the NInth House you are hereby ordered to surrender the child to the Ninth House Delegation as soon as possible.
Failure to do so will result in your family losing their professional standing and licences
Respectfully yours,
Vaxa Ral, Matriarch of the NInth House. ]
The Ninth House was wealthy and was powerful and held sway over the other great houses, as they all owed money to the Ninth House or owed them some kind of favor.
Jez couldn’t believe it, her mind raced her mother was of the Second House, The Second House is considered the House of Science and Mysticism. Which never made sense to her as science uses the scientific method to objectively gather and test knowledge about the physical world, while mysticism involves subjective, often spiritual, experiences and intuition to seek communion with a deeper reality. Science seeks to explain through observable and testable means, whereas mysticism often uses practices like meditation and contemplation to achieve insight. The two disciplines seemed to be at odds with one another.

Upon seeing her roommate freshly out of the shower, K’vada was filled with excitement.
“I missed you, what was going on down there?’ Said K’vada. “We have been running scans like crazy up here, any idea why they had us doing that?” Added the K’vada,
K’vada looked at her friend, She saw that Jez’s face was white and snow, she sat there blinking at the monitor. Jez wasn’t one who was lost for words. K’vada looked at Jez, she seemed a billion light years away and said, “Hey you alright?” , but Jez didn’t reply.
K’Vada walked over and placed a hand on Jez’s shoulder, startling her. Saying,“ Hey, you alright?”
== Lieutenant Jez Mala, Betazoid/Vulcan, Security Officer. ==
“Oh, I’m fine, just caught up in my messages and I’m supposed to meet with Commander Velaul in her quarters. Said Jez, her voice filled with uncertainty.
“”A meeting in Commander Velaul quarters? Is that good or bad?” Siad K’vada
Jez remembered the Commander saying it was good, “The Commander said it was good. I’ll know in a few minutes, Jez said, as she turned off her monitor and logged out of the communications system.
“I’ll meet you later in Ten Forward.” Said Jez as she left their quarters and made her way to Commander Velaul’s quarters.
