Faye’s ability to mentally work through a problem in seconds had annoyed every roommate she had ever had at the Academy. They had seen it as some sort of oneupmanship , but that couldn’t have been farther from the truth. “There are two basic ways to do so in an artificial environment. You can attempt to simulate a natural stream, including the rock bed and the ecology of the bank, or you can create an obviously artificial channel in a decorative way that funnels the water from its source to the destination. Both are perfectly valid, it just depends on what aesthetic you’re going for.”

For the moment she could pretend that this was just a normal everyday conversation between two people, though her mind was all too aware of who might still be outside the doors and the people she expected to come in soon. Again, what some would read as coldness towards her own actions, callousness even, was really just a protective measure to keep herself in the present. Pretha, whether she had fully realized it yet or not, had granted her something Faye rarely expected: mercy.

Pretha nodded her head. “So describe the aesthetically pleasing one you mentioned. How would you do it?” She smiled slightly and tapped the console before her to check the hallway monitor to see if the Captain had arrived yet before looking back at Faye for her reaction.

That was a good question actually. And it only took Faye a few moments- her mind hard at work- to figure it out. “A mix of the two. From the terraced hill and water fall, I’d build a very straight rill out of a metal, something like copper that will slowly turn green with age. It would hit the main path and go under it before turning into a natural stream on the other side, wending its way through the bed and creating little nook and quiet spaces for benches. We would then plant it up with flowering shrubs and greenery to create places where people could find quiet,” she said thoughtfully. She could see it in her mind and was already calculating what they would need to do to adjust the lower pond to allow for the rill.
