Jez listened as Dr. Lom answered her questions. Jez thought about what Dr. Lom had said about remembering being in her mother's womb; Jez thought and thought about that. What were her first memories? Jez’s mind was going at warp 9.99 doing her best to remember her earliest memories. The first real memory that she could recall was of her first bath. She could recall bubbles and the warm water on her skin. Jez recalled her mother rubbing her skin with a pink washcloth.
Jezs was processing the events of the last few days, and what her Sensi had said to her many years ago started to make perfect sense.
Teddy Bear was right, what doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger.
It was all so clear to her now, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. The idea that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger is based on the theory that by going through difficult experiences, people build up their strength for the next, possibly more painful event that may occur.
Jez felt strong and confident once again, she wasn’t going to let this or the possible legal battle with Renkarn distract her from her duties. She was a Star Fleet Officer and Renkarn was just a stupid arrogant bigot who would get what he deserved when he least expects it.
Jez realized that this was just another challenge, a challenge for her to master. If she had to describe it, she would call it a test, the Ultimate test of her convictions. Jez wouldn’t kill anyone, she always tried to talk her way out of a fight, but if she couldn’t she would. It was like the Universe wanted to give her a challenge unlike anything that she had dealt with before. Would she rise to the challenge or falter? Jez had thought about aborting that baby, but the baby was innocent and couldn’t fight back. It was like the Universe was saying,” Well Jez Mala, will you kill or won’t you? Will you stand by your beliefs that all life is sacred , or abort the baby and get revenge on Renkarn.”
Jez remember reading an ancient Terran religious text called Wicca, the Wiccan’s believed in the Wiccan morality in the Law of Threefold Return which holds that whatever benevolent or malevolent actions a person performs will return to that person with triple force, or with equal force on each of the three levels of body, mind, and spirit, Jez had to laugh, the idea of Renkarn getting a taste of his own medicine.

Kez looked around, it seemed like the standard Surgical Bay, with a few machines that she didn’t recognize, but assumed were the Cyronic-stasis unit. She saw several Surgical Technicians checking the equipment ensuring that everything was ready.
"Jez, Jez, any question? Are you ready? Doctor Lim asked again.
Jez closed her eyes briefly, she let out a small sigh and smiled. “Yes Dr. Lim. I’m ready, but I was wondering if you are familiar with Lt. Tates credentials? The reason I ask is that I was thinking that once this is over that I would talk to her about my situation. She was the therapist that we all saw after one of our previous missions.” Said Jez. “I wanted to speak with her to make sure that I’m seeing this whole thing with an open and clear mind, that I’m not letting my hatred for Renkarn cloud my judgment.” Added Jez.
“I’m ready Dr. Lim. Let's get my baby into Cryo-stasis . I want to inform my parents of what’s going on.” Said Jez, with just an uncertainty, as she didn’t know how her parents would react to the news.
