Cross had just finished her rounds on the few patients that were in sickbay ,once finished she made her way to her office where she slumped on a chair, while covering her face with the palms of both hands.
The CMO was indeed troubled by the information the Captain had sent ,at this point the female doctor wondered why she ever decided to come back. Not only was she not a part of the team when they beamed down among the inhabitants ,Glen had also made it clear he did not want her around during the meeting in the conference room.

In a somber frown she thought about the people who Cross never had the chance to meet except for the little girl .These inhabitant’s had a past,present while thinking about their future .They had families,loved ones and hopes of a better life ,while the abhorred Ascended decided to play Gods destroying and discard them as they pleased .

They meant nothing to them as long as they kept on with their experiments ,how could she be a part of the Federation knowing it would abandon and betray the men,women and children living on this forsaken planet.
Cross felt a sense of disgust and repulsion.

Cross CMO.
