“I thought, you might like to paint while you listen to the music.” Casela offered. She left Gen to decide what to do and moved to a table a little ways away. She wanted to be close for 2 reasons. The first that she wasn’t going to leave Gen alone yet, until they knew what to do for her. 2nd Gen seemed to stay very close to her, so she didn’t want her to feel that Casela had left her, but have the semblance of privacy while she worked. But Casela wanted to be far enough away to work on her search of the Star Fleet database.

The girl took the socks and carefully ran her hands over them. Her fingers rubbing along the material. Carefully she pulled them on and flexed her toes in the socks. Then as if captivated by the paints be and enthralled with mixing paints, she began to paint on the set up canvas seemingly content.

She sat down and entered several name into the data base: Kenny (or other variations) McCallister and Annie (and other variations) McCallister, Zach (or Zachary/Zacharias/or other variations) McCallister, Genesis McCallister, Orin McCallister

Next Casela did a search for ships that traveled into any area named or listed as the “unknown” and storms in space. She cross referenced those with the names of Gen’s family.

The computer worked for a few minutes and the combination of names with the family name McCallister sent back a hit in the starfleet archives. Commander Kenneth McCallister - Executive officer USS Phantom, his wife Doctor Anna McCallisater (neé Jones) - Assistant Chief Medical Officer USS Phantom. Their children Cadet Zachary Kenneth McCallister aged 16, adopted son Orion Jackson McCallister aged 8 and their daughter Genesis Laurie McCallister aged 11. All last on the USS phantom. The ship was last sent to investigate a distress call from near Romulan space 5 years ago. The record showed that they had reported encountering some sort of storm and then nothing. The exact nature was unknown as no records had been recovered. The ship was lost with all hands and no trace found. Starfleet command decided that it had been a warp core breach and the young girl, currently painting black and dark blue clouds onto the canvas, and her family were declared KIA. A plaque was commissioned in the Phantom’s honour at star-fleet command.

Gen

Casela glanced at the young girl across the room to the file. She double checked the photos in the files against Gen now. They matched. So either something anomalys happened to Gen, or some anomaly took her form. She was going to get her to sickbay when she finished with her painting and then she was going to have to talk to the Captain. She was sure that their CSO GLaDOS would want to examine Gen. Casela sighed, she was going to have to trust they knew what they were doing. Several people had come on board and had not had their psych evals yet. She as going to remedy that very soon. But once the staff meeting was done she had to figure out what was wrong with the KAI-9 too.

Gen continued to paint, a swirrlimg mass of dark blues and shadowy blacks, it was of nothing in particular but if someone was looking closely at it they would see small pinpricks of yellow and white. Stars perhaps. And in the center two red points. (https://imgur.com/DrUNwlI) She stepped back, her fingers covered in paint after having given up with the use of the brush.
