Sebastian was relieved to be in his quarters, he felt tired, his mind was full of his performance during the mission, his claustrophobia, his miscalculation of the Alien alphabet, he just naturally assumed they used a similar twenty six letter alphanumeric that was used by the Federation Standard, it never occurred to him that an alien culture that had achieved space flight would have a less developed language, let alone one that was based on a musical scale and notes, On one level he found it fascinating, but on another level it was confusing if for example you took the word movement, in Federation Standard the word movement has many examples of movement Bolt Dart Dash Scurry Scamper Amble Saunter Meander Creep Dawdle Wobble Sway Quiver Jerk Shimmy so how did these aliens effectively communicate words, thought and ideas? It was truly baffling,
Sebastian's frustration at not performing at his best left him feeling like a failure, as if his years at the Academy hadn’t properly prepared him for a career in Star Fleet. Yes, they try to prepare you for just about every conceivable circumstance, but these Apex Predator Aliens really threw him for a loop.
Sebastian went to the replicator. “Computer, I want a mineral water and an apple,” Ordered Sebastian. The replicator hummed and within seconds, a glass of mineral water and a Red Apple appeared.
Sebastian gathered his water and apple, went to his computer terminal, and began recording a message to his beloved Abuela.
