“Don’t matter much who’s enlisted and who’s got spurs. We’re all Starfleet out here. As for home, that’s Earth, Oklahoma to be exact.” The man replied between bites. “With a sweet tooth like that, I’d bet money you’re from somewhere south as well?” He used the break in the conversation to take a sip of coffee.

“You bet. Best tea on the Florida-Georgia line. Have you ever been there? The Xindi Incident memorial is quite a sight. Hard to imagine that much destruction went across half a state.” Greiss’s face was visibly unsettled by the implications of what could have happened those centuries ago.

While Vora had attended the Academy, her exposure to Earth as a whole planet was limited. She had explored much of California, especially since her specialization in geology had taken her out in the field, but she hadn’t ventured a great deal farther than that. Especially back then, San Francisco had been busy and overwhelming enough for the Tenraith that she spent much of her time just adjusting to the multitudes of cultures around her.

“I’ve seen it. Hell of a scar they left…” He was quiet for a moment, but then looked at Zorell. “I’ve always meant to ask… What is your homeworld like?”

“Tenra?” Vora inhaled slowly. “Well, climate wise it’s very hot and dry in a lot of areas. Much lower moisture than Earth and fewer continents. In fact, there are whole swaths of the planter that are too hot for anything to survive in,” she said with a laugh.

“A long time ago it was made up of a tribal society in which those that controlled the resources, like water and food growing areas, controlled the people too.” Zorell shrugged. “Not much has changed. We have warp tech but are way behind the Federation in a lot of ways. But we have a significant appreciation for sciences so in that one area we apparently have things we can teach others.”

“Sounds like Earth before the Vulcans found us.” Franklin said, chewing. “Some days I’m amazed we got where we got.” He smiled at Zorell. The words were simple and polite, but he wasn’t a dumb hick. He’d caught her look and her inhalation. He hoped she’d not lose hope for her world to address it’s issues. “I tell ya, I’d take hot and dry over hot and humid any day, though. Rollin’ Hay bales in Summer in Oklahoma ain’t no joke… Guess I should’ve gone out for Science instead of Engineering.”

-Franklin, Eng
