“It’s such a small ship though,” Mel reasoned. But then she sat upright a bit. “But… I wonder if we could modify part of the triage deck. We don’t need all of it and we can reconfigure the space to make guest quarters that we can then try to alter the environment from there.”

Amari smiled at the response. “That’s an excellent idea. We’ll need the approval of the captain of course but I think she’ll agree. Put in the request and I’ll endorse the idea.” She liked Melaia Reez. She could hear the passion for the work in her voice, see it in her eyes. “In no time we’ll have our own little nature preserve.”

Mel gaze a lopsided grin. “Well, except for the one slight issue of the triage deck possibly being needed for medical emergencies.” Her grin deepened. “think you can guarantee us not to need the space before we get them home? Otherwise, it’s going to be more stressful on them than where they are currently. You know, use that magic first officer wand of yours,” she teased. Of course Brooks couldn’t guarantee anything. No one could. And she understood that better than most. But still, it was nice to throw a little banter into the mix.

“I don’t have a wand,” she played, “I have a genie, and I’ve already used two of my wishes.” She thought for awhile. “If we were to need more triage space, there are plently of areas of the ship that are able to be converted. The entire ship can perform as a triage deck if need be. Besides, you said yourself, they don’t need much space.” She activated a nearby screen panel and retrieved the specs for the triage deck. “We could reconfigure this area as ‘guest quarters,’” she noted, pointing to a section of the triage deck away from the transporters. “It wouldn’t take much effort to reconfigure the structure, however, filling it with natural elements from their environment might prove more difficult.”

Although Brooks appreciated the conversation so far, it was work as usual. She and her daughter had been on the ship quite sometime and although Sadee seemed to be adjusting well, the commander wasn’t faring so well. She had befriended the captain, and exchanged some words with some ensigns, but she was lonely. As her wedding anniversary had recently come and gone, she had been feeling extraordinarily lonely. “Melaia, how long have you been married?”
