==Crew Quarters see wiki==

[Alexander Talion]

Alex arrived to find his uniform set out for him and a PADD sitting on top. Cindy was seated on the couch and let him know that she had informed Reyna that there would be no tour, so she was playing in her room. The last thing she mentioned was there was a dose of Tri-OX under his uniform, along with a breath mint.

He chuckeld as he walked in to change. She was good. A few minutes later he came out, PADD in hand and looking ready for work. Thor sat in the middle of the room and gave an appreciative groan and yawn when Alex reached down to give his ears a nice scratch.

"I shouldn't be long. Don't speak up unless I trigger you."

She gave a knowing grin, "I know. Subdued protocol is in effect. I don't anticipate needing to leave quarters this trip, but we're always standing by if you give the word."

He paused for a moment and commented, "You know, it's kind of nice that we don't always have to be saving the galaxy every mission anymore. It actually seems to be staying saved for a change. Maube it's a new generation?"

Cindy shook her head, "Carefull big guy, you're going to jinx us."

He nodded, "You're right. Best not to tempt fate too much."

With that hea headed out.

[Jez Mala]

Jez read the subspace transmission several times, she was beside herself that lowlife wants her baby. Jez felt outraged, she could live with the idea of him raising her child as a Star Fleet Security Officers career is filled with danger and uncertainty. His house was a power house among the Betazed Noble Houses. Maybe if he was a nice caring man she would have felt more comfortable letting him raise her child. Jez was confused and needed to talk with someone. She found her way to her friend Commander Talion’s quarters if anyone had a solution to this problem he could. He was a Brilliant man. He was Charming, good looking and incredibly intelligent. Commander Talion was from a very influential house or so she had heard.

Maybe he could arrange to have my daughter raised in a religious order on Bajor, or hide her away someplace, anything to keep that lowlife away from her. Thought Jez, her heart filled with anxiety.

Jez activated Commander Talion’s door chime, but before he could answer Jez called to him. “Commander, are you there it’s me Jez I need to talk to you, it’s important.” Her voice strained with tears.

When Jez didn’t get a response. She asked the computer where Commander Talion was, the computer indicated that Commander Talion was on the Bridge.

[Alexander Talion]

The door opened as Jez was walking away. Cindy stood there with a puzzled look on her face as she saw the woman leaving before she had ever gotten an answer. With a shrug, she closed the door once more.

[Kalli Thorn]

Kalli had taken a break and dropped by her quarters to have a bite to eat. She had not really been very hungry, but knew she needed to keep her wits about her on this mission, so she had a snack that would keep her alert. To help her relax and keep her mind clear, she was sitting on her couch and enjoying the view. The view wasn't real, but it helped her to focus. The small and private holographic systems of her quarters were even self powered, recharging from the ambient subspace signals transmitting throughout the ship. It was more for decorative than physical use, but it did what it was intended to do, take the mind off of being on a ship.

The view made it appear as if her couch were on the porch, on the outside of a house. It looked out over some rolling hills and fields with a few trees sprinkled around before it eventually had a treeline about a half mile away. There were a few clouds in the false sky and they gently moved on a breeze she could almost feel. There were sounds of birds and a few other indications of bugs and imagined fauna, which helped complete the illusion.

Her mind drifted to Barjax, which both comforted her and made her a little sad at the same time. She missed him. He had been her only serious romantic interest in her life. She grinned at remembering how odd they had looked as a couple. He had been a 7 foot tall Leo Mirak, which contrasted pretty strongly with her 5 foot 2 inch size, but he had been such a gentle giant. His death still echoed in her heart, but he had touched her life in a very important way. Once you had felt the love of someone in your heart, it changed you forever. It had changed how she viewed not only the people around her, but her outlook about the entire universe.

There was a beep from her PADD, which snapped her back out of her deep thoughts. It was time to get back to work. She took a deep breath and stood up. Giving the command word, the room returned to looking normal and she placed the remains of her beverage in her replicator for disposal. Duty called...

== Just a little something to fill the void... ==

[Jez Mala]

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.

==Lieutenant K'vada, Klingon/ Vulcan, Temp Science NRC ==

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.
