<< Crew Quarters.<<
Jez was tired of sitting in her quarters, the letter to her parents just couldn’t seem to come together, she felt that kind of news should be delivered in person until she could come up with the right words. Right now Jez wanted some company, she had been an emotional wreck, but after an hour of meditation, she felt good, she was confident. Now she just wanted some light conversation and maybe make a few new friends among the Aquila crew.
She entered Ten Forward, it wasn’t crowded, but it wasn’t empty either. Jez spotted Lt. Thorn and Dr. Lom speaking with a woman who was in Sick Bay the other day, a Lt O'Shea, from what she recalled, they appeared to be in a lengthy conversation. Jez looked at them, debating if she should join them. Jez hated just interrupting a conversation in the middle, it’s not that she didn’t have anything to contribute to a conversation, it’s just that she felt like she might be intruding. Besides, they probably didn’t even notice her.
Jez walked to a table near the windows and waited to see who might be willing to engage her in a conversation. That was when Jez realized it was not that she wanted company, it was that she just wanted to be around people. To hear conversations and laughter. Yes there is a fine line between the two notions, but still, she just wanted to be around people, maybe play a few rounds of darts or a game of pool.
“What can I get you?” Said a Server.
Jez sat there a moment to consider her choices. “I’ll have mineral water, with a lemon twist and a Dragon Fruit, Please.” Said Jez. The server nodded and said, “Coming right up.”
Jez waited looking out the window, she enjoyed looking at the Stars, she often wondered what the Ancient people thought the stars were. Some of them thought the Stars were their gods, others thought they were portals to the afterlife. Each culture had mythology built around the Stars and constellations. She recalled one Summer she was on a dig with her parents near Gorn Space, and they found a primitive culture that had gone extinct. One of the other Archeologists, a Betazoid, had a theory that these people thought the Stars and constellations were people's emotions. Jez could understand that as Stars had different Hue’s Red Giants, Red, Blue, White, and Brown Dwarf. White and Yellow it made sense when people are sad, they say the person is blue, if they are mad it’s said that they see red, or if someone is scared they are yellow, and so on. Yes, it was a facile analogy, at least to modern people, but to a primitive society it was possible.
Jez kept looking over toward Lt. Thor’s table. Longing to be part of the conversation, Jez couldn’t help but think that perhaps, they would think less of her for having become pregnant and didn’t know how to handle it; that they were adults and this ..this child dares to converse with mature adults.
You don’t know that, everyone makes mistakes, it's how you handle them that determines one's maturity and level of responsibility
“Here you go one Mineral water with a Lemon twist and a Dragon Fruit.” Said the Server. Jez looked at her order, it looked amazing. “Oh, Thank you.” Replied Jez, her tone less than enthusiastic.
Well it doesn’t look like anyone is coming to socialize with you. You're here to make new friends with the Aquila crew, now go over and mingle.
Jez took a deep breath, stood up, and made her way over to Lt. Thorn’s table.
She didn’t approach them too quickly as she didn’t want to startle them.
“Hello Lt. Thorn, Dr, Lim and Lt. O’Shea, there was a third woman, a very young woman with dark curly hair, if she was twenty years old she was a day, but she held the rank of Lieutenant, maybe she is one of those genius types, early admittance to the Academy and all, thought Jez. “May I join you?” Said Jez, hoping that she didn’t sound too pushy.
