Jessa sat in the room looking at the trays piling up in the corner of the room. It took every ounce of restraint not to throw them out into the middle of sickbay. It was not because someone had made her angry of the food was unpalatable. It was because it was just sitting in the room. Jessa had overheard the men at her door joke when the doctor brought in her tray that she was lucky because the nutraloaf was going to make her friends in sickbay wish they were dead the second it hit their stomachs. Jessa knew the Elders were too smart to eat anything these people gave them and if they were not eating, she wouldn’t either. It was still hard though sitting in the room with the food when she had not eaten anything solid in two days.

Getting up she paced the room thinking about everything that had transpired over the past few days. So much of what the Elders had promised had come true. They had said the crew of this ship would be hostile and aggressive. Zala Tsu warned Jessa they would end up in the brig but not her. Because of her age, Zala Tsu had said they would isolate Jessa in some form, which they had. Her hand moved up to the small tender area on her neck. Mardusk said it was Zala Tsu. Jessa knew it could not have been. They needed her but every time she replayed the event in her head, it did not make sense. So many things did not make sense right now.

Evrilla was well aware that Jessa wasn’t eating, and more than that, she was well aware of the consequences that could have for her health. Clearly the only course was a secret plot, with the best spy on the ship… her daughter.

Tatyl slipped inside of Jessa’s room, still wearing her backpack from school. Slipping it off and setting it by the door, she met Jessa’s gaze with a wink and a finger over her lips. She bounced over to the older girls bed, standing on her tiptoes in an attempt to level the playing field. “I’m Tatyl.” Her greenish hand hung in the air between them as she stared Jessa down, waiting for her to take the offer.
-Tatyl
