“Would you like Zach’s favorite? I can get you red velvet cake, but I’m afraid I don’t have any candles right now. Would that be okay?” Gen obviously had memories of a human nature. The things she was describing related to human customs and observances. Casela got up, she waited to see if Gen wanted to walk with her, and went to the replicator and ordered her a big slice of red velvet cake and a glass of milk. After they sat back down she asked, “Why didn’t you get to eat the cake, Gen?”

The girl stayed where she was and by the time the counselor had returned had finished the apple. She managed the same ghost of a smile and pushed her hair back before she dug into the cake and milk. Again savoring each mouthful. ”The ship went into the unknown, there was a storm, it tossed everything. The cake was forgotten.” she said again simply. Very little emotion in her tone except a sort of sat statement if factual points. ”

When she was finished Casela racked her brain. Where to take her? Casela didn’t have ARU training or clearnace so she didn’t know if there was somewhere on those decks that might be more comfortable for Gen. She opted for the counseling deck. She didn’t want to take Gen back by Dave again. She offered her hand to Gen again and started walking. “What was the name of your ship?” This could give them a great bit of information about her and her family.

When they get to the counseling deck Sharah puts on Mozart for Gen.

The girl went with her without issue and walked alongside Casela. She looked around her with apparent interest as they walked.

”I was born there…i liked the ship. I didn’t like the planets…theres no hum on the planets. It made me feel fuzzy.” she answered. As they arrived and the music started she found a space on the floor and just…sat. Listening with her eyes closed.

Casela nodded. She had been in space long enough to understand how going planet side could be very different and very disorienting. She decided not to ask about the name of the ship again. “Who was Zach? You mentioned him and your brother, Orion. What were your parents names?” If she could get their names, she could try to run a family history later.

Eventually the said ”What is your job on the ship? And why do you have that strange dog?”

Gen

Casela took a deep breath, and suppressed a sigh. That was the loaded question wasn’t it. “I am the ship’s counselor. My job is to help people when they are troubled or confused. I advise the captain and senior staff on all kinds of things.” She smiled, strange dog indeed. “I’m his handler. He is a tool that we use.” How much to tell her? Casela had soft spot for children and her policy had always been to be honest with them. Many children she had met had been lied to, tricked, their morals twisted. She had never been able to walk away from any of them. Even the ones turned into weapons. She had the scars and damaged bones to prove it. “The dog isn’t really a dog,he’s just a machine, and his structure is similar to an Earth k-9 but he isn’t anything like them. I guess I got the job because I’ve used these tools before, and everyone else is too busy to take the time.” Casela tried to answer her without giving away information that could endanger the ship. Her gut said Gen was no threat, but when it came to kids, she always strictly held to that opinion, even before she had the facts.
