“That’s wonderful that they have someone looking at it. I keep up with the medical journals and news still. The new Nightingale class has all the latest equipment and the best doctors and researchers in the fleet. So maybe cause for a little bit of cautious hope?”

“Have you thought anymore about making that memory box for Lily?”

River nodded “Maybe some hope. So long as the scientist in charge is doing it for the right reason, not just to win an award or galaxy wide recognition” she said cautious optimism in her voice .

“I have found, in my experience, that most have a desire to do good, the accolades are so far down the list of importance. Do you know the name of the scientist? I still have contacts in Star Fleet Medical, I could ask about him or her.”

River gave her a look of ‘really, of course i do’ She had already done some research anyone trying to help after Acheron was a person of interest to River “It’s a Lieutenant Alexis Bonner. Her record seems good. bit of a work acholic. However her record only says so much. so if you might no someone who might know her more personally. ‘d be very interested.” Rive said simply

Revna nodded and River could see her making a note on a PaDD. “I’ll see what I can find out.”

“How would i make a memory box. All her stuff is to big to fit in a small box. and the whole point of our dive through them was to keep them out. Not shut them away again. Right?” She asked.

“Well first we would make it from scratch so it is big enough for the largest thing. And it would be fronted with glass so that the pictures, drawings, more delicate things are protected from damage from light or air. Actually, I heard the new CNS on board is quite talented in that area. She might be able to help you get the dimensions right. Then you’d back it with a padded board and then attach the pieces to the board.”

Revna

River raised an eyebrow. it sounded like a good diea but she could see where this was headed “Was the point of this call just to try and get me to see the knew CNS?” she asked simply not giving away exactly how she felt. she wanted to see Revna’s reaction and how she interpreted her question, to see if she was still a sharp as River knew she was. River didn’t feel any sort of negative emotion about the situation she was planning to se the CNS anyway just much, much later.

“Really River, I’m a bit insulted. If this was about getting you to go see the new counselor I would have said so from the beginning. No, Lt O’Farrell is a brilliant counselor but she doesn’t have the certifications required for the treatment services the Marine Corp set up for those who served at Acheron. You’re stuck with me. However, she could help you with the design and not ask a bunch of invasive questions. Your file still has me listed as your counselor. And if you wanted someone to physically be there with you while you work on it, rather than me over the conn, she would be. If you want to talk to her you will, when you choose, I wouldn’t force that on you. I’m simply trying to offer you options.”

“I am your friend and when you need, your counselor. I called today specifically because I know how hard this month will be, and I wanted to remind you, you aren’t alone.”
