“Still nothing to do? I’m sorry. Not much to do here either.” Dradvia stacked her things to return them. “I will. Though I’m not sure what I might need.” She stood, “Thanks, Sisnil.”

Sisnil smiled. “No problem.” He said, and then he headed out. That night, he wandered the halls. That doctor, Tessan, had given him a sleep aid, but he was uncomfortable using it. So, like nights previous, he wandered around the ship.

Dradvia slept, but it wasn’t a very healing sleep or very long. Eventually, she stopped trying and decided to read. She couldn’t stand being in her quarters aline though. So she headed out, to the lounge, to read, near people. She ended up wandering a bit first.

Sisnil was sitting by a computer terminal with a PaDD, fiddling with it. There was a cable plugging the PaDD into an access panel under the terminal. He was in a secluded corner, no one else around. He didn’t hear Dradvia coming, he was so into what he was doing.

Dradvia stopped, watching. Disappointment filled her, even as she told herself not to jump to conclusions. He might have finally been assigned some work. She hoped.

“What are you doing?”

Sisnil jumped and looked up. Then felt her disappointment. He looked a little guilty. “Hey, Dee…” He smiled sheepishly. “Keep a secret? I’m setting up a way to contact my crew without giving them away.”

She didn’t blame him for wanting to contact his brother. She didn’t, and she knew he would have to make sure it wasn’t traced, to protect them and himself. She wanted to believe it was that simple, but her duty… It was all she had really. “I can’t do that.” She was torn, “I don’t know what you’re telling them.”

“Nothing harmful.” He promised. “You tell, they lock me out, maybe put me under extra surveillance, I never get to contact anyone.” He could feel the conflict in her. “I’m sorry.” He jerked his head down the hall. “Do your job.” He was giving her permission.

She walked closer and knelt down. “Sisnil, please stop.” She worked hard to sound calm but inside she desperately needed him to stop what he was doing. “Listen, you told me this,” she waved at the computer equipment, “is your specialty. Don’t you think they know that? That they are watching everything you do and where you go? Who you talk to? I know you miss your brother and your crew. I understand wanting to do anything to reach them. I wish I had one more chance to talk to Kryssa.”

“Don’t put them at risk. I don’t know what promises were made, hinted at, or hedge around. I don’t want you to lose any chance at reaching them.”

“What if the Syndicate is looking for you? What if they are watching your brother. If you contact him and he doesn’t report it, they will punish him and the rest of the crew. Please stop.” She didn’t want to turn him in, but she would have to. She was worried what would happen to him.
