Some time after medical Luna and cerenity headed to meet with the consumer. Luna could not help but wonder if this is what ever transfer would be like. Cerenity walked next to her holding a small Pooler bare. It was her favorite she rarely went anywhere with out it. ” Mommy is dady going to know where to find us” cerenity asked.

The child had been going on about this since Luna had told cerenity they were moving. She had tried to explain that loki was not coming back he had been lost to the Viking but cerenity refused to listen. ” look we are here you want to ring the crime” Luna asked. Cerenity smiled opened her wings flew up and pressed the button for the chime. She hovered in the air infront of the door.

Crewman Dean looked up from his desk in the lobby....an ensign and her child? Oh this one was going to the Lt. He nodded with a smile and waved her toward Casela’s door. At the chime Casela walked over and opened it. Nothing flapped Casela, but she had to admit the a child with wings was the last thing she expected to see. The first though, not her office. She had too many weapons hidden around there. The mess room. “Well hello there. What’s your name?” She asked the small child who was hovering at eye level to her. She glanced at the ensign, they only had one new officer coming onboard at the moment and since she’d met the rest of the crew, and yes Casela could remember them all, “You must be En. Luna. Let’s go this way.” She led the pair down a side corridor and into a larger room that had a few tables and chairs and a couple of replicators. It was a very large quarters feeling room that she had her staff converted to a small mess hall due to the long hours they kept. She waved at the replicators while she got her 6th cup of coffee for the day. “I’m Lt. Synthi-er, but you can call me Casela. Why don’t you both get a snack. Then…” she grinned and whispered conspiratorially, “do you like to paint?”

Dean grinned and sent a silent message to the rest of the staff.....’Lt.’s got a kid for an appointment! And she’s all gooey eyed now.’

Cerenity smiled ” im Cerenity, and I’m this many. ” holding up three fingers. Luna shook her head she had been hoping the child would grow out of that behavior it had been several months ago that she discovered cerenity could say numerous and was choosing not to. ” she can actually say number i don’t know why but she refuses to say them outlook to other people, its nice to meet you Casela. ” Luna said as they flowed Cesela down the hallway.

“Casela smiled, “It’s nice to meet you Cerenity.” She winked at the Luna and decided to try something. She leaned to the side, sharing a secret with Cerenity. She whispered very quietly, “Can you keep a secret? I’m awful at counting. I don’t know how many that is. Can you tell me?” She put just enough hope and embarrassment into her voice to hopefully make Cerenity feel like she was doing Casela a huge favor and to give her the opportunity to show herself off.

” no I can’t” she said quietly. She seamed anxious all the sudden.

” cerenity?” Luna said

” i-im Three, other kids my age can’t count mommy why am I so different” she whimpered.

Luna remained silent just kinda shocked. She had no idea cerenity was so aware of how different she was.

Casela smiled, “You aren’t different Cerenity, you are very smart. And there is never anything wrong with that. Where I grew up, there was a little girl who could count and add like you when she was 3, and there was a little boy, he wasn’t able to talk until he was 5. We are all different. That’s why I like meeting new people. No one is the same. And I like you because you are you, not everyone else.”

Cerenity smiled again at the mention of paint. ” yes but momy won’t let me have paint because I painted a map of the Jeffrey’s too so of the viking on the walls in my bedroom and got it in my wings.” She said. Luna shook her head ” it was more of a I didn’t want another 6 hour fight to try and clean pain off her father partially off flight fathers” she said she opened one of her own wings to point out the much longer fathers. These fathers are what let us fly something gose wrong with these and we are ground. Witch can be a problem for us” Luna said with a smile folding her wing closed.

” mommy are you shire luner will be ok in a qurters all by himself” cerenity said

” yes he will be fine im shuer he will love to eat when we get back to” Luna said not at all surprised that the child had jumped subjects she got bored easily and was all over the place.

Luna looked back to Casela wail the child flew around the room having lost interest in the adults and being more interested in exploring. ” im sorry about that she can be a handful. So how has your day been” Luna asked polightly.

“Well if it’s okay with your mommy, instead of paint would you like to color?” Casela led them into an art room. There were art supplies of all kinds. But no child size ones. She went to the replicator in the room and ordered a giant coloring book, a giant roll of paper and the big fat crayons that fit little hands so well. She handed them to Cerenity. Casela smiled and waved a dismissive hand. “It’s alright, that’s the beauty of a 3 year old. I’m doing alright for this early in the shift.” She waved over to a table and chairs for them to sit. Hopefully there was enough there to keep Cerenity happy until they were done. “So what made you decide to come to Leviathan, Luna?”

Cerenity smiled up at Celeste” thank you” she said. She happily went to work ignoring the coloring book all together and drawing detailed maps of the viking. Going as far as to mark the difrent areas of the ship with a color key and of course marking where the shadows had shown up to torment her.

Casela had heard rumors of the Viking. She’d even talked to Kara and McHarrie briefly about it. So she was surprised to see Cerenity draw a map of it. She glanced occasionaly over at what Cerenity was doing and took note of it for later incase Luna wanted her to talk to Cerenity about it.

Luna shook her head ” I did not get a choice, star fleet ordered me here. I can’t help but wonder if…” Luna trailed off her gaze falling to cerenity. Who was for once behaving like a normal three year old. ” im sorry I may be a bit paranoid but … there are some dark part of star fleet that would live to get there hands on us I find it odd that we were suddenly transferred to a ship full of scientists and doctors, not just that but the research that gose on here…” Luna said. She had suddenly become rigged. Her wings opening slightly. The way she looked at Casela her gaze suddenly cold as if there were a wall of ice between the two. Ghost of her past seemed to dance across her eyes. She was definitely hounted by sumthing.

Casela nodded, she shifted her weight in the seat giving Luna little more space when she tensed up. She didn’t miss the protective glace Luna gave her daughter. “Let me tell you about this ship. The entirety of this crew is comprised of misfits that other departments don’t want. Even the darker sides of Star Fleet and the Federation, of which I am extremely familiar.” Casela paused a moment gathering her thoughts. “Most of us were sent here, we didn’t have a choice, a very few volunteered. No one here though is a monster. We’ve all done things because we had to, but no one here is inherently evil or bad. We’ve fought to make a working crew out of refuge and tattered pieces we’ve been sent. Now we are something else command never could have conceived. And we’re proud of that. But I can promise you one very very important thing,” as she spoke her voice became whiplash and steel, her eyes blazed, and she didn’t bother to hide the fact that she could be scary. “No one will touch an atom of a cell on your daughter, or they will answer to me. And no one wants that.” She sat back, sipping her drink. “Ask the captain. He’ll tell you. No one here would do that. And no one who would do that will be allowed on this ship.” What she needed to talk to Cobb about was what ARU was thinking sending a family on board this floating nightmare. “You’re crew, and crew is family. No one will hurt you or your daughter. Tell me, Cobb, Raauhl, Surda, Manhattan, Remington, McHarrie, anyone and we’ll take care of it.”

” you will have to get in line because I stop at nothing to make sure she is safe and does not suffer the way I did” Luna said. Her gaze still cold but she had relaxed some.

Casela held up a hand in surrender. She wasn’t trying to challenge Luna. “Of that I have no doubt, just know that here, you aren’t alone.”

“Now I take it from your daughter’s drawing that you were on the Viking at some point? Do ” you know Kara Nakuto? The former CO?”
Lt. Synthi-er, CNS

” yes cerenity was born there Kar and I were friends until she disappeared again she probably claimed by the shadows like cerenity’s father.” She looked at cerenity again then back to Casela . She took out a small pad typed a message then handed it to Casela. It read ” I don’t want cerenity to hear this. But I take it you know about section 31. There are things about my past that cerenity dose not know and for good reason. I was one of there experiments I escaped and have nothing to do with them now but they have tried to recapture me before I can’t help but think they are behind my assignment here.” Luna watched Casela now watching her reaction looking for subtle ques that the woman infront of her could suddenly become dangerous.

Casela read the PaDD, unruffled. She didn’t want to scare Luna away but she wasn’t going to lie to her. She responded on the PaDD and passed it back. “I understand, she won’t hear it from me. Kara is a friend of mine. Yes I know all about the Section. I tell you to be honest and so you won’t be surprised later. I don’t lie to my crewmates. I was, I am, I’m on my way out…however you want to put it. There are a few of us like that on board from lots of different ‘departments.’ As I said, we are the misfits that no one, not even the section wants. I’m glad you got away. There are evil people that do their work. I can not promise you they won’t get on board, but I can promise you that they can’t do it without someone finding out about it. We’ll help you keep her and you free of their grasp.” Casela passed the PaDD back and waited for her to read it. And then to reiterate her statement that she was not willingly part of the Section she lifted the hem of her shirt careful that Cerenity wouldn’t see. Luna would see she was criss-crossed in horrible scars. She’d obviously been the focus of someone’s displeasure. Mad Man wasn’t section, not directly but she had a sick feeling that he’d been payed by them. But that was a question for another day. Casela was fully prepared for Luna to grab her daughter and run out.
