<< Crew Quarters <<
== NRC Commander Judith Tucker, Science Officer ==
A slight smile peeked on Judith’s face as she entered one of her favorite places on the Artemis. Ah…home. She nodded to the few officers who were working, finishing up on updates for the department. Judith was excited to get back to work, to give her something to think about without her son. As she passed by the office for the department head, she remembered the days of her son playing on the floor while she worked long hours.
Well, I don’t have to worry about entertainment this go around. Tyra should appreciate that… I wonder how she’s handling being away from hers.
She shook her head to empty the sad thoughts. She went on to the stellar cartography lab, thinking that maybe they would have some data for where the ship would be headed. She could at least begin learning now.
As she entered the lab, her smile returned. It felt good to be back. She took a deep breath as she looked around to admire the lab. Then she approached the main console, plopping herself down to dive in. She started configuring the lab and then dove into looking for new data that would have been uploaded. She dove in, losing track of time. It wasn't long before her mind was shocked by a familiar feeling. Judith's eyes narrowed in a slight pang as her son tapped into her thoughts.
~ Mom? Where's the shirt you bought me last week? The red one? ~
Knowing they weren't far and she could contact him, she grabbed her PADD and wrote a short and quick message. Just as she clicked send, Joshua responded again.
~ Sorry Mom... I know you're busy. I'll go loo... (ping) read your email... but you could think to me...I know you don't like it. Miss you. ~
Judith smiled to herself as she heard Joshua close. That boy! Okay... where was I?
