After a while Mar asked. “So tell me about some of the other ships that have delivered your goods. Do they all try and help out like we do?” She hoped the answer was yes, but it was an inquisitive mind that made her ask.

As they got down the road a bit of way their first stop on the list from their cart came into view, Sally pointed to it, “..That there is the Mayers homestead. Only Mrs. Myers is home right now though. Mr Myers is likely out hunting some rabbits for the stew pot.” she said. Then when Marlaa asked her question the girl gave a slight shrug, “..The last delivery was about 10 years ago. Least wise of anything major like this. We do some simple import and exporting once a year around harvest time but those are small cargo ships from the civilian sectors. They just stop in, load or unload what they got then leave. Starfleet doesn’t stop in here usually unless something of the newer tech breaks that we can’t fix ourselves, or needs some thing else. Last stop before you folks was about 6 years or so back. Mainly for our colonial evals for Federation membership.” Then seeming to consider the full answer she said, “..So no not really, most folks stopping in like you do don’t help out much. It’s a nice change of pace to be sure though I think..” she said.

”..Momma says our family once came from Earth generations ago, leading one of the first extra-Sol colonies here as part of a big wagon train to the stars! Is it still like that? Pete Bilkins says its boring out there now and not as exciting as our lives..” Bill asked.

As they were talking and approaching the fence line for the Mayer’s homestead the smell of baked bread whisked in on the wind from the double story home a few hundred feet ahead.

“Colony evals are a good thing. They may seem silly, but it’s a way to see how you all are progressing. Sometimes on those trips we may find that you discovered a plant that has great medicinal purposes. Or even grows in such a strange medium that we can use it on other planets. Sometimes necessary ingenuity from you creates a crossbreed of animal or plant that no one thought of because it wasn’t needed. And yes, we bring things that might help you without hindering your natural evolution here.”

When Sally mentioned it being boring out there, Mar smiled. “I think boring is a perspective thing. Some would think your life here was boring and mundane. While others would think traveling in the darkness of space for months on end was boring. But some see excitement everywhere.” She lifted her hand to motion it, taking in a wide sweep of the terrain. “Here you are creating new life, new civilization. Every inch of Earth has been explored. Not every inch of this place has. And out there,” she lifted her hand to space, “hardly any of us been explored.”

Dropping her hand, she smiled at all of them in turn. “Exciting or boring just depends on what you’re looking for or looking at.”

As they approached the homestead and fresh bread assaulted her senses, Marlaa grew silent and let the others talk.
