OOC: Changing the location title to split this off!

Tel’eck glanced over to where Drudoc and Vronclon were heatedly talking. “..Only my Mom is still alive, my dad tied uh....again not too long ago. The other Romulan I think is just some new JO that came aboard. It is nice I guess having more Romulans aboard. Mom tries to teach me about their culture given I’m ya know half-romulan, and my dad was human. But nah…half the fun of sneaking off it she not knowing. Though I’m starting to wonder if she really does and just pretends not too.” Tel’eck said. Taking Catt’s hand and leading her deeper into the brush of plants till they were in a corner out of sight by a Jeffries Tube access. “..I hope you dont mind crawling its down a few decks!” She said opening the hatch and crawling in.

Catt followed along letting the girl guide her. She was likely going to get in a world of trouble but she understood the need to get away from people better than most. So not a Vulcan at all but Romulan. That made her the Captain’s daughter. Catt knew she was making a big mistake but she let her heart and emotions guide her actions. So she crawled after the girl, “I lived in these kinds of tunnels when I was only slightly older than you.”, she said as they crawled. She didn’t mention it was because the adults moved slower in the cramped space so she could avoid them easier. How do you explain hiding so you don’t get killed and eaten to anyone let alone a child.”we shouldn’t be gone to long though. So we take a look see for now then head back. I wouldn’t want your mother to decide I might make a better rug then a officer.”, she said with a giggle. She didn’t want to ask about how Tel’eck’s father had died as remembering her parents always cause severe emotional distress in Catt. That nobody should ever go through what Catt suffered and a desire to make her adopted father proud had led Catt to Starfleet service. She wished she was a better officer as every time she earned a reprimand she was crushed knowing her Adopted Father would hear of it.

”..Nah Mom wouldnt do that! She may seem all strict and what not but she’s a big softy underneath it all! She cares about everyone on the ship and really goes to lengths to see them thrive..” Tel’eck said.

The crawl through the Jeffries Tubes took them along deck 14’s inner workings along the port side of the ship. Eventually the girl reached a ladder hatch and climbed up to deck 13. More crawling happened until they reached a smaller access panel marked Astrometrics Lab 1 Service Access. Sliding this panel aside the girl shimmed lower onto her belly, and even more so for Catt she found it a slightly tight fit but somehow she made it. “..Come on we’re almost there!” Tel’eck said sliding under some paneling and cabling wires.

The two soon came into a small 5 by 8 foot almost rectangular cleared spot. It was clear the girl and probably a friend or two had taken careful timing to move wires aside into non-standard tie backs to then string up small bundles of cloth as improvised hammocks. Two PADDs were also in the room. A small portable power back and hand light provided dim illumination. Hopping into the left side slung hammock Tel’eck grinned swaying her feet. “..Here we are! What you think?” She said. “..Before she left to follow her Mom to the USS Memorial, my Andorian friend Lilith found out how to feed conduits into the Astrometrics Lab life support network to filter into here so it doesn’t get stinky! Her mom used to be the Ark Angel’s XO at one point, and the Chief Engineer before that, so she picked up how to do stuff like that from her Mom’s PADD work!” Pausing to giggle again, “..I showed Lilith how to bypass locks on doors and stuff, its how we keep sneaking out at times. Plus because of the EM interference from the shield generators nearby it blocks internal scans for my comm badge!” She said. “..A perfect hiding spot!”
