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.

OOC: This is so sweet! Great RPing, both of you :)

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.

”Zach was our brother. He was older, I liked Zach…Orion was a pest ” she looked thoughtful, as if trying to recall things from long ago. ”Zach said all little brothers and sisters are pests. But I wasn’t a pest.” she smiled again, that same ghost of a smile. ” well…sometimes I was. I put Rigellian spaghetti and sauce in his shoes one time…he was late for class and he got half way out of our quarters with them in his hand before he pulled them on. I could hear him yelling.”

Her brow furrowed as if she wasn’t sure how to answer the last question. ”Kenny…and Annie…my parents were called Kenny and Annie…” she said finally. A silence then.

“Gen,” Casela said her name, trying hard to stamp down the empathy she was feeling for the girl. She acknowledged she felt it, but she had to concentrate on helping Gen, not simply wanting to help her. “Where do you live now?”

Gen looked at her, her eyes glowing slightly. She then shrugged, ”I don’t know. I just am and sometimes I’m not.” she said.

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.

”He’s supposed to stop things from the other from getting into the now right?” she looked around again, ”You guys are like the other ships…” she said quietly.

Gen

Casela nodded, “Yes, we use the ‘dog’ to help us stop those things from doing things they shouldn’t.” Casela listened to Gen talk, “Yes, I guess we are. I hope that we do better than some of the other ones. Can you tell me what exactly happened on the Einstein. I know you said you left, but what’s out there? What hurt them?”
Lt. Synthi-er, CNS

The girl shrugged. ”No…i don’t know. I left. I tried to warn them when they got too close but it will be what always happens. They will go mad.” she shrugged again and looked around at the walls.

Gen

Casela stopped her questioning. Gen seemed to be giving her what information she could. Whatever had happened to her she was still a child in many ways and perhaps didn’t understand what had happened to her. “Gen, would you like some place to sleep? Are your feet cold? I can get you some socks or slippers?”

Lt. Synthi-er, CNS

Gen shook her head. ”No…i don’t get cold anymore.” she said simply and looked at her feet. ”But maybe some socks…would be nice.” she smiled slightly.
