Setting the tray down gently at her feet, Faye surveyed the Botanical Garden. Well, the space that would become their Botanical Garden. She couldn’t help but smile at the idea and was grateful the CSO had agreed so enthusiastically that they should convert the space as designated. At least here she could work on something that wasn’t involving a life and death situation and didn’t require any deception on her part. She also didn’t care if others wanted to help, so long as they let her have her own space to cultivate.

Sitting down on the deck in the middle of the cavernous space, she pulled out the large PADD from her satchel and laid it across her lap. With a stylus, she began sketching out layout ideas, letting her imagination pull from the all-too-clear memories of life on a colony and a self-sufficient settlement that cherished hard work and independence.
