Casela noted how cold Gen’s skin felt. There was no way to know if that was normal for her or not. She held Gen’s hand gently and led her off deck 13 to a turbolift and then to deck 30 and the Ophion Lounge and Bar. She led the young girl over to a replicator. “What would you like to eat Gen? Anything else to drink?”

The girl had said nothing as they left the briefing thread. She did however tense and squeeze Casela’s hand tighter as they neared the area that ‘Dave’ was. A small wave of fear emanated from her ever if it was squashed. Her grip lessened when they entered the turbo lift.

Once they were in the lounge Gen looked around herself as if fascinated by the people. The sort of fascination that someone who has lived a while in isolation has when brought into a group. She stuck by the counsellor and for the second time a small wave of fear erupted from her well shrouded mind.

“Peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich, on white tiger loaf…with an apple…and some strawberries and cream.” She said quietly turning to look at the replicators a moment.

Casela watched Gen carefully. “Gen would you like to go somewhere else, with less people?” The counseling deck would be good. There was a lot of stuff there and no one visited. Casela had a whole deck that was empty. She programmed the replicator, “One fluffernutter sandwhich on white tiger loaf, an apple, and strawberries and cream. And one orange soda.” The food materialized and Casela took the tray with one hand, letting Gen keep ahold of her other one. As far as Casela could tell Gen was a very scared and lonely little girl. She waited to let Gen decide if she wanted to eat there or go somewhere else.
