Jenyfer had been wandering the ship most of the evening. Having checked in in the middle of a crisis, she was having trouble finding her feet. It wasn’t unlike being caught in free float in space, then being asked to run a marathon. You knew you had to go forward, but the traction just wasn’t there. That’s how she felt right now.

Oddly enough, she found herself stepping into the Chapel before she fully realized where she was. Blind Walking her father had called it. Not sleep walking, where the person was completely unaware. But walking with no care for the destination.

Her soft brownish red hair brushed her shoulders as she looked around trying to remember how she ended up here. Hazel eyes scanned the room trying to place it as she licked her lips fearing that perhaps she had intruded someplace she shouldn’t have. As the realization of her location hit her, she turned to go, embarrassment clear on her face as she bit her lip and hung her head.

“Can I help you, Lieutenant Lynsey?” Spoke deep, calming voice. The huge Klingon seemed to have materialized from the candle lit shadows. Over his uniform hung a sleeveless white robe from a bygone era. “ No need for embarrassment, you have every right to be here.”his voice carried the calm concern and authority of ones father comforting you after a night terror. “Please set with me and tell me what brings you here this evening.” He waved to the front of the chapel where one could see he had been working, what appeared to be low stone circle some meter across had been erected there. As well as what appeared to be a pair of folding camp stools.

She paused, a breath hitched in her throat from being caught leaving. “It’s Lynset. But call me Jenyfer, please.” She turned to face the priest and shook her head. “I know I have a right to be here. Just, honestly, not sure why I am. That’s all.” She did, however, slowly turn and move towards where he gestured. “I’m not sure how much of a conversationalist I will be. I showed up on the station when it was in strife and I’m having trouble finding my bearing now that things have settled.” She moved to the seat and took it, looking at the chapel and its set up.

“Then don’t converse, Jenyfer simply be. Moving back to the stone ring, he finished his work and with snap the holo emitter comes on line producing a cracking fire. Kovak sat a small kettle beside the flames. Shifting his robe he sat down on the packing case that had contained the emitter his face fire lit in the dim light. He poked at the holographic fire with a holographic stick and let out a deep sigh.

Jenyfer watched in amusement as the pretend fire, tea kettle and stick were put into use. A slight smile crossing her features.

That was, until the fire caught her full attention. As a virologist, she studied how various things interacted. She watched spores, and fungus, and cancers, and all kinds of malignant things interact on the human body as well as the bodies of those around her. She watched how medicines and treatments reacted to those malignant things. And now, she watched how the fire reacted. How it reacted to the wood bile it danced above. How it reacted to the stick poking it, not being able to catch it on fire quick enough and always backing down to the fuel it had.

Her head cocked to the side as she fell silent, and almost mesmerized by the flames. It hardly took a moment before all thoughts were gone and the flames danced before her like proverbial white noise for her brain. She didn’t even realize she had stopped talking and was caught in the spell of the amber and orange element.
