“I’m sorry I brought up bad memorise” Rika said kindly. Space was so dangerous even now when travelling through it was the norm. Ships, people even whole colonies get lost all the time to some strange space phenomenon. It reminded Rika of sea travel, eve though it too was the norm it still could slap you down. She should understand why so many people fear space.

“If you find anything i would love to hear about it. Maybe intelligence thought there was some tactical or navigational information, that was too dangerous to be handled by anyone else” she said, she had been wandering that very question for a long time. Of course she had put feelers out, though unofficial channels but nothing came of it.

“Either way it was in vein. 250 lives lost for nothing, and people still think my mother should have just brought the device to its destination.” she added shaking her head “Idiots”

Maria nodded slowly with a grimace. “If there’s anything I find, and I can get clearance to share it with you, I will. You deserve to know as much as you can.” She shook her head. “And it might not have been in vain. But whatever it was, it was dangerous. There’s a chance it’s been quietly recovered but who knows.” The lietutenant heaved a small sigh. “I kinda hope they didn’t though. It sounds like something that’s better left in darkness and silence.”

“My mother blasted the thing into a sun. If it survived that I would be very surprised. And I hope no ones stupid enough to recover it if it did survive. It was damaged before imagine what it would do now,” Rika said with a grimace.

“Sorry. you’re new to the ship and the first person you bump into delves into their past. Did you need help with anything or maybe a tour?” Rika asked after a short pause. she was eager to change the subject.

Maria waved it away with one hand. “Well then I’m sure the device is destroyed,” she said mildly and with some relief if not hope. “And delving into the past is part of the job. It’s nice to actually connect with somebody for a change. Even if it’s just for a minute. A tour would be nice, though I don’t want to impose. You looked busy and pretty deep into what you were reading.” Truth was, she could navigate the internal layout just fine, after ten years in Starfleet. While she’d not been on a Memorial-class, they all shared similar design philosophies and, of course she could get the computer to guide her wherever she needed or wanted to go. BUT… A tour from the Ensign would give the security officer a chance to see the ship through someone else’s eyes. Get to know her through one of the other crew. And that was invaluable.

Rika smiled “No trouble at all.” she said kindly “I was just double checking the final details of a few business contracts I recently acquired. You can never be to careful” she added as she started to walk towards the nearest lift.

“Anywhere in particular you’d like to see?” she asked
