Finally at the top, Avik secured her tether then twisted herself about. She planted her butt vertically on the tunnel while the rest leaned outward. Her eyes watched Lucius scaling up behind her. His aged hands gripped the stone strongly and diligently before he managed to secure himself safely. He took up a seat beside her, staring down into the abyss from where they came from. The dust from the crushed rock swirled into lay patterns in their wake.

“I take it you’ve not taken the test yet, have you?” Lucius prodded at the sensitive topic.

His eyes looked over at her stone-like face. She didn’t seem to react, but her lip twitched slightly at his choice for conversation. Lucius sighed before he then commented.

“Let’s move onto the next stage, shall we?”

“Yes, please.” Avik stated as the holodeck erased the scenery to replaced it with a new one.

At Lucius’ signal, the holodeck changed. The rock-like structure that once surrounded them dematerialized back into the standard setting once more. Any cold, low oxygen and zero gravity faded with the scenery. Avik felt her center of gravity twisted about and once more was corrected, leaving her sitting upright on a bare metal floor. She had closed her eyes. When she sensed the shift was over, her right lid lifted to confirm it.

Lucius was already standing and had moved toward the console. His fingers moved across the buttons, typing in a sequence of numbers. Upon confirming, the holodeck carried out its orders. The metal became covered by a grey, lifeless landscape. Once more rocks hilled across the floor as far as Avik could see, disappearing into the darkness beyond. Stars twinkled in the skies giving off just enough light to see by.

Casually Avik lifted upright onto her feet. Her gear had vanished then reappeared for her to reattached as needed. She leaned down to snatch up her own, her eyes glanced to Lucius and finally broke the silence.

“Why did you visit? Was it really one of your friendly visits or were you illogically worried about me?” It took some courage on her part to actually voice her thoughts.

“A bit of both, Avik. You’re not exactly open about everything and I don’t think the Captain realizes that.” Lucius honestly stated.

They both knew lying wasn’t going to be plausible with her telepathy.

“So, how well have you been adjusting to the ship? It’s a new setting compared to the Janus.”

He asked as he placed on his harness once more, securing with a small tug then fixing it into the rock underneath.

A small silence etched between them as they placed on their gear, securing them in place. Avik was the first to break it again as she began to reveal her personal opinions.

“It has been… difficult. Especially after a mission with Officer Zorell.”

Lucius paused, then studied Avik for a moment. He tightened the last of his gear before he replied, farther questioning her.

“What happened? It sounds bad.”

“During an investigation of a distress signal, we found a ship. It turned it was taken over by hostiles. Before capture, Zorell lost composure and it…” Avik trailed off, letting Lucius piece together the reason for her discomfort.

“I see. Let’s get this exercise done before we talk some more. It might be therpetic for you,” he suggested in a kindness, then ordered the computer to begin.

–XO, Avik, Lt. Cmdr

Avik didn’t reply, but simply nodded. She was thankfully not to dwell on the past, the incident drew up uneased feelings and caused her to struggle to push them away. As the holodeck finished up, it signaled for them to begin. They both anchored themselves into a single point then took off into their separate ways.
