    Transport Officer: Not yet. She sounded like she was sleeping bad, but we couldn't wake her up with the comms chime so we let her sleep.

    Henha: Is it alright if I ask you a bit more about yourself? I'm a bit curious about some stuff... and feel free to ask me anything you want.

    Cerys: *nods* alright what are you curious about?

    *****

    Valendria: I’ll go check on her. *she makes her way to nexas room, walking in noticing her still sleeping. She stares at the seal on her back, her face slowly twisting in rage as she walks over to nexa getting on top of her and moves her hands around her neck squeezing.* must.... kill..... *she seems in a rage filled trance as she chokes nexa.*

    *Nexa doesn't wake up right at first even with the choking but slowly her nightmares shatter as her eyes open and she begins to gasp*

    Nexa: Val...? What... why...? *she starts to gently slap Valendria's arms trying to snap her out of it, tears beginning to stream down her cheeks* I thought... you... liked me... *her struggles begin to weaken as her vision darkens steadily*

    Cetus: no it’s fine. I’d just rather not get into that right now.

    Nexa: *She lets out a loud gasp and starts to cough, taking in deep breaths her thoughts still recovering for a moment* What... what happened...? I was sleeping. Something went wrong... in my dream, then... I wake up and you... Are you okay? *Despite the trauma she just endured she looks up at Valendria, sounding a bit nervous. She can tell Val snapped out of whatever had gottent into her, but she's in shock at the moment, Nexa tries to get up out of bed but she stumbles*

    Henha: Well, I can help with that. My history lesson might've been a bit rushed if there's anything to learn about how society functions here, to what to look out for, I'm good for that. *She gives a smile* I can also provide some padds with books or reports on things around here so you can do some learning on your own time.

    ***

    Nexa: But... I don't want to be... alone... *having stumbled to the floor, seeing Valendria's reaction Nexa backs away until her back is to the wall, curling up and having some memories of her childhood bubble up, being shunned and rejected after she got the seal, being forced to never show it no matter what*

    Henha: Would you care for some literature from our universe as well just for entertainment's sake? I mean, we have television and all that, but still I'm not sure if you'd be partial to Shakespeare. He seems to be considered good regardless of culture, klingons sure love Hamlet.

    Nexa: What... if it was gone... What if... I got rid of it... *Nexa isn't very stable right now either, and Valendria may remember Nexa talking about how all surgery and regenerators seemed to fail at removing the scars of the seal. Nexa grabs something that looks like a knife, her mind overwhelmed for a moment and she walks into her bathroom* No more...

    Henha: I'm not exactly used to teaching, so I can't really cover everything. Some things its just better to learn on your own. But, I'd be happy to show more of what the galaxy has to offer that isn't just lessons and such. Like different holodeck programs or tv shows.

    Nexa: I don't want to lose you... because of some stupid scar someone gave me... *She winces in pain, blood leaking from where her claws dig into Nexa. Valendria might notice that Nexa's blood has no affect on her body at all, it smells and feels like normal blood, save for it being alien blood. She tries to pull Valendria into a hug, whimpering from the pain* I'll keep it covered... I'll do anything I can to lessen its affects...

    Henha: Want to see the galaxy? I can think of a few planets you might be interested in. Risa's always nice though that place is only for vacationing. But you might be interested in Earth. from what little I'm aware of about your galaxy, Earth is similar to what Coruscant used to be like. You know, back before the entire planet was a city. Oh! I forgot about warp drive. We don't use hyperspace here.

    valendria: *slowly peals nexa off of her.* i dont think you understand so ill put this as bluntly as i can. i dont know what the hell is wrong with me.... theres something trying to claw its way out and im barely holding it back. the longer im around that damnnable seal the more i start to lose myself.... and if this keeps up nexa i will end up killing you.... its not a threat i just wont be able to control myself..... *she sighs taking a step back.* i couldnt live with myself... knowing that i.... *she trails off shaking her head.* i have to go for now..... im sorry....

    ***

    Henha: Well, we never discovered hyperspace here. Instead most species use warp drive which uses an immense amount of power to create a warp field. Essentially the warp field enables us to travel faster then light since we're not "actually" travelling faster than light. And because of how it functions its a lot safer than hyperspace.

    cerys: hmm curious. such vast differences in our galaxies both technological and other wise, do you use turbo lasers or some other form of ship mounted weaponry?

    valendria: ...... dont worry about it.... ill try to make myself useful in the mean time. goodbye for now... *she says before turning around and leaving. she makes her way to her room putting on the commissar coat and hat that she arrived in, she holsters her bolt pistol inside her coat and mag locks a chain sword to her back. after steeling herself she leaves the ship finding a console on k-13 and looking up anything to do with nexa's mother and instructions on how to fly a shuttle craft.*

    Henha: Most ships here are armed with powerful shielding tech, a bit more advanced than what your galaxy uses. Hull wise I'd say your ships tend to be more durable, but its hard to compare the shields. Atleast ship wide shields. Most ships use directed energy weapons, pure energy based. Federation ships primarily use phasers, but klingons favor disruptors, romulans favor plasma, the dominion polaron weaponry. For the most part each of these energy types function similarly in battle, its only some of the rarer types like antiproton based weaponry thats especially deadly. The energy weapons come in various forms from cannons that are similar to weapons like turbo lasers, to pure energy beams, which tend to be more sustainable. Even ground weapon wise we use weapons like that. Computer, create a type 1 hand phaser. *A holodeck hand phaser appears in front of them, Henha grabs it and shoots it at the ground showing an example of their weaponry*

    ***

    *Its fairly easy to find tutorials on flying a shuttle, or runabout, the station has multiple different ones stored in the databank from the Federation database, likely to help the crew deal with more modern control schemes. Finding information on Nexa's mother is a bit more difficult however, as just searching for Nexa's mom without details just brings up a lot of women in the federation*

    Quinn: *Walking over to her* Well I was coming here to enjoy the retro feel of this place, I didn't spend much time with the federation during this period, but you kind of stand out. You don't look like you're from this universe at all can I help you with something? *While he looks human Valendria can sense something off about him. Everything her senses can see, smell, or detect tells her he is definitely human... but he might not've always been*

    ***

    *With Valendria gone Nexa goes back to her bed and curls up next to it, crying softly and closing her eyes. For a moment it looks like someone else is sitting in her place, a little girl with black hair and burns on her arms and a purple dress, then it shifts again and a blonde hair young woman is there wearing a puffy sweater before finally its Nexa again, she hears a sound, though she ignores it, tts almost like an air raid siren and she slowly passes out, being pulled back into her dreams*

    Quinn: Name's Quinn. Formerly of the Q. I'm not really supposed to tell everyone I meet that, but I suspect telling you I'm a "letter" would have virtually no meaning. *he sounds amused* Are you looking for someone?

    *She is able to find a few different things on Nexa's. With enough searching she's able to narrow the search results down to just Nexa the Orion, the one she knows. She finds a public version of the service record, reports on things Nexa was involved in, her official resignation letter from when she left starfleet and other various pieces of information. Nexa looks surprisingly good in a starfleet uniform in the pictures shown of her, the service record lists her parents, the father being deceased*

    ***

    Henha: The yield varies quite a bit. These weapons are easy to set to various levels of stun, to kill, to even overcharging them. The space versions are even more extreme, from enough power to drill into a planet to merely a small charge to destroy asteroids. Its all about what you want to use it for. Nowadays most people tend to always use the maximum settings since Personal shield tech became a thing, maximum stun or kill.

    valendria: you're right, i have no idea what this Q organization is. you're not normal that much i can tell. *she tries looking for personnel files on nexa's mother, as well as any reports on the death of her father.* and yes i am looking for some one why do you care?
