Amongst the many shops and entertainment venues on outpost 42, sat a unit that looked like all the others the only difference being two small stain glass windows, depicting a woman in full armour her fingers arched and a banner depicting a rose like flower with a sword behind it. To those who where curious to see what this building was, when they explored they may be surprised. For this unit housed the temple of the order of scared Rose. To find any sort of religion was rare but to find one one a federation outpost was something entirely different.

This was the home of the order of the sacred rose the newest order of the shi-an foundation and its purpose was simply. To help all that needed it. Entering the unit would reveal a large room with vaulted ceiling and benches heading in to the room, facing a podium in front of a large alter and a stain glass window of the same woman on the window at the front, this time her shield was raised in defence.

This was the main room of the temple where one could got to get way form it all or to seek advice. Priestesses dressed in white robes moved about the benches offering assistance and keeping a watchful eye.

To the left of the room whee three doors. The first led to a school room decked with chairs, books and work terminals. The next room was the atrium a place filled with plants and the sound of running water, provide by a small channel of water running along it floor. A priestess tended the garden as guest enjoys the scenery. Off this room where two smaller ones, places for people to get help and talk in private.

The last door lead to a dining area and kitchen. The kitchen had a window facing out to busy businesses of the outpost and hot soup could be seen being cooked.

The right side of the temple looked similar except these doors lead to the cambers, dinning room and facilities for the sister of the order of the sacred rose.

Finally if one looked behind the alter which housed a beautifully ornate sword and sheath protected by glass and the unmistakable light blue glow of a force field. They would see one final door. This door lead to the chambers and office of High priestess Zhi-anne ;leader of the order and the counsellor for outpost 42. She however was not there, for now she was speaking to young men.

“I know traditional church marriages are a thing of the past. But we like the idea of it. It makes it fell special” one of the young men said as he looked to his fiance then a Zhi-anne

Zhi-anne smiled “We can sort that out for you. We would be honoured to join you two together as one” she said kindly

“Really, how much would it cost.? The ferengi said it could cost a lot” The other man said concern in his voice.

Zhi-anne shook her head “It would cost nothing. We do not seek profit” she said reassuringly

“Wait so you’ll let us use your temple, marry us and let us use the dinning area over there, if we want to. for nothing” he asked shocked at what seemed like too good an offer

“Of course. Katooni’s teaching tell us to rejoice in love.” Zhi-anne said a smile on her face. She then began to hash out the details there was no rush but getting a good foundation down early was key to many things.

Entering the atrium, Molly scanned the room nervously. The Temple’s atrium was breathtaking. For a room in a space station, the greenery and water made one feel like they were somewhere else which is exactly where she wanted to be. Kneeling down, she let her fingers dip into the cool water running through the room simulating a stream or creek. Closing her eyes, Molly remembered so many other times when the feel of water made her happy. Right now all it did was make her want to run away again.

The sound of soft foot steps could be heard behind molly if she looked up she would see the face of Zhi-anne most of her head covered by her hood. She wore the white robes of a high priestess and her voice was calm and reassuring.

“Hope Harmony and health.” she said bowing her head slightly “Water is a wonderous element isn’t it. It can be so gentle and caring one minute and so vicious and destructive the next. But it is always free. perhaps that is why is many people enjoy it.” she said kindly kneeling down beside Molly.

“is there anything we can do for you today?” she asked her tone still kind and reassuring
