Pulling a chair over, Melaia tucked one side of her chin length red curls behind and ear and sat down. Before her was the expanded habitat of their gastropod guests. The three eggs had been showing signs that they would soon hatch and she could all but feel the slight excitable energy radiating off the female.

The new habitat was larger in both area and height, with a shallow pool, exposed dirt ground, sheltered foliage areas and rocks. The water had a continuous supply of extra hydrogen that the creatures fed upon and they were clearly much happier than when they had been found roaming about the ship. Dressed in black trousers and a blue top, she had found something of a ‘uniform’ that suited her new status as a civilian scientist. And now she had a pet project, so to speak. “Any day now, Mama. I can tell you’re anxious. I remember that feeling very well,” she said in a soothing voice, placing a hand on the transparent side. She might not have entirely cracked their communication code yet, but even with their slightly empathic abilities, the creatures seemed to respond to the general emotional atmosphere of a space. She had no desire to stress them out.
