” Yah if I can get in I heard mommy had to fight to get into the academy. Do you know why?” Cerenity asked. She was confused and did not understand why they did not want to let there mom in.
“No, I do not,” he offered an honest response, before expanding on it with a larger helping of painful truth. “But the Federation can, at times, be…territorial. And access to the academy is only granted to those belonging to races that meet their approval.”
” But mommy is human they let other humans in the academy” cerenity said confused.
“They do.” His attempt to creep around the edges of the matter had failed. And for one so young, Cerenity could be a relentless inquisitor.
“But your mommy is different to other humans, Cerenity. As are you. And while you will encounter many who celebrate your uniqueness, I can not deny the existence of those who would punish you for the same. So while I have no doubt that some in the Academy saw immediately your mother’s true talents, I imagine others would only have seen those things that set her apart and devoted themselves to punishing her for it.”” we are not that different are we” she asked.
“Not to me, you’re not,” Zachariah reassured her. “And I will give a solid bop on the nose to anyone who says otherwise.”
she giggled.
A moment of silence to consider Luna’s battle for acceptance - from the Federation, from her peers at the Academy, from every crew she had served on since her graduation and possibly every crew she was yet to serve on still. He wondered, in that moment, if Cerenity understood how much strength and courage was to be found in her own mother. And how much strength and courage had been passed down to her as well.
“But your mother blazed that trail so that you would not have to,” he continued at last. “And with the grace of the gods your own passage to the academy should come a little easier than hers.”
Looking back down at the almost-repaired tricorder, he added, almost to himself, “Fly against a jetstream, eh? I shall have to try that some day.”

” cerenity giggled it’s actually a really bad idea to do that but mommy can do it though she is really tired after doing it” Cerenity said.
Cerenity“I imagine there isn’t much that your mother can not do,” Zachariah replied. “She is a remarkable young woman and I am incredibly proud of her. As I am of you,” he added as he lifted the tricorder. “Looks to me like you have this all fixed and ready to give another try. What do you say to that, eh?”

Cerenity grinned ” Can I test it on you?” She said her eyes lighting up. ” do you think sickbay will be happy to have there trycorder fixed” she asked happly.
Cerenity“On me?” his eyes grew wide, but then dissolved into a chuckle. “Aye, go right ahead. I’m probably overdue for my medical eval at any rate so you’ll be doing Dr Knox a favour.”
- Captain Zachariah Cobb
Cerenity giggled and held the device up to scan the captain. ” If it works will you come with me to take give it to sickbay.” She asked.
CerenityThe looming spectre of his overdue physical sent a wave of panic through the Leviathan’s captain at the suggestion that he attend sickbay. Were Cerenity studying her tricorder at that moment then it might register as an elevated heartbeat and a measurable quickening of breath. But Cobb was quick to recover and shrug off the notion, before consenting with a laugh.
“Aye, I’ll come with you. We might even find you a job caring for the other patients while you’re there.”
- Captain Zachariah Cobb
” Captain are you afraid of sumthing or is this thing still broken” she asked.
