‘’From Malta,well at least that’s were me and my twin brother were born but after mother died ,dad took us to America to live with relatives on mum’s side of the family ‘’the doctor responded as she glanced as the sun was setting ‘’It’s the same place Cross lived ,that’s why I understand her when she throw a word here and there especially when in a foul mood!At times I don’t know whether to get angry or fall about laughing’‘ .

‘’What about you Lt? Your family must be far away.....’‘ Marthese tailed off not quite sure whether she should have brought it up.

Marthese Dr.

Tinga set aside the cheesecake with difficulty and took a drink of the hot chocolate. It was still a bit of a new flavor for her and she paused analyzing it.

“Well we have a typical Andorian family. My parents are spread across the Empire and I’m the second eldest of all the kids but I’m the only one in Star Fleet. I kind of loose track of where everybody is which is sad if I think about it, so, I try not to.” she explained before picking up the cherry cheesecake.

Marthese pondered on what the Andorion had said ‘’Guess its like what we humans had once, which included related families living nearby everyone took care and supported each other ‘’.

It was getting dark and colder ,not that Tinga seem to mind the doctor thought. ‘’Say Lt, I do not want to rush you or anything but perhaps we should start thinking about going back to the Academy?’‘ .

Marthese Dr.

It was then that Tinga realized her companion was made of much different stuff than her.

“Well this is actually bright and warm for me. Perhaps we should get some cheesecake to go. I’m thinking aobut catching a transport to see the glaciers and northern lights in a few hours, I can sleep later.” she said with a laugh.

  • Tinga

‘’Oh’‘ the doctor replied rather disappointed ‘’ Hope you don’t mind me tagging along then?’‘ Marthese asked and for a brief moment she looked over her shoulder and shuddered.
Marthese Dr.

Tinga was curious and wondered if something was wrong with her companion.

“Come if you’d like. Is everything all right?” she asked rising to leave.

  • Tinga

‘’Oh yes,yes everything is just fine’‘ the doctor tried to sound convincing ‘’Guess old habits die hard’‘ marthese responded as she hasten her pace making sure Tinga was right beside her,though she did manage to grab another piece of cheesecake on the way.

With the sun gone the doctor realized how colder it was getting and pulled her Touqe woolly hat as far as it with go .As a doctor Marthese knew all about the Andorian’s physiology .... she could not help but imagine Tinga with a cap on allowing the antennas to stay exposed.

Tinga glanced sidelong at her friend. She didn’t quite believe what Marthese was saying but pushing the subject probably wouldn’t get her anywhere.

“Well, just remember, part of being a good comms officer is listening. So if you ever change your mind…” she trailed off.

  • Tinga

Guess that what all she needed some one to listen ‘’My twin brother is behind bars for life… a serial killer and when the police told dad he committed suicide,as for me I ran as far away as I could possibly go’‘ and with that she pointed to the sky ‘’He always owned money and would send them to my apartment, sometimes I’ll pay,sometimes I run ..sometimes I fought’‘ and with that she heaved a sigh of relief, feeling some sense of solace having shared her secret worries.

After a few moments of silence she went on ‘’Oh I was send on the Merrimack ,see I use to work as a doctor at the academy but poor Cross was abducted,another doctor committed suicide and sickbay was short of a medical team,back then I was a Lt (j.g) ............’‘ marthese tailed off before changing the subject ‘’You think we’ll be able to see in the dark?’‘ the doctor asked Lt Tinga.

Marthese Dr.

Tinga had listened to everything Marthese had said and could sense several emotions as she did so. But it was also important to know to leave things alone.

“If the aurora is strong enough, of course.” she said.

  • Tinga

The doctor looked up in awe,it was the first time she was actually seeing it for real and for some time was left utterly speechless.
Then reality kicked in ‘’Lt these show up after a solar flare…right?’‘.

Marthese Dr.

Tinga shook her head.

“Not necessarily. Although they are stronger during a solar flare general solar winds cause them also. I lived on an Andorian colony for a few years where things like this would last for days.” she explained.
