[snip]‘’Why thank you dear’‘ Cross responded ‘’The few offices we have are similar and it depends on which dept it is stationed,for example this office is at sickbay and I do my paper work here.Another example is the dept of security ,their job is to see that everyone is behaving or they get thrown in a cell....do you have cells for naughty people from where you came from?’‘ Cross asked .
”..Um, well usually when people break our laws, we have them sent to a therapeutic and reeducation school. Except for those too far gone to recover or change their lives. In that case they are put to work under supervision by the corrections division on the habitat. The work varies based on the person’s former skills and talents. But because space and resources are at a premium it’s rare I think we have to go that route for a lot of people. Most who do make mistakes, are due to some other kind of problem, which is treated, addressed, and then they are rehabilitated back into normal life, I doubt that has changed since I was sent out..” he said.
‘’When you had woken up Franz you asked who was going to be your parents, don’t you have parents back home and if not then who took care of you?’‘.
”..No my parents and remaining three family at the time died in an accident when I was very young. I was given over to the care of The Center which handles children like me without any where else to go or be cared for..” he said with a sigh, though a bit sad he did seem to have mostly gotten over their loss and accepted his lot in life since it happened.
‘’Our leader talked to Dol …have you ever met him ?Do you know who he is?’‘ Cross kept a smile plastered on her face.
Cross Dr.
”..Habitat Master Dol? Yes, we all have met him at one time or another. Though without knowing how long it has been that I was in stasis I do not know if it is the same Dol when I went into the pod. In either case, all Habitat Masters take up the name Dol whether officially or not when they assume the position of office. Each Dol is elected by a committee of nine advisors. Those who wish to run for the position of Dol or Habitat Master do so when the previous one either steps down due to old age, dies, or chooses to move to another position of authority or work. Some Dols last for their life time, others choose to step down after a few years. But they all in my experience before entering the pod have been good people whether male or female among my race. They’re also held to the highest of standards to our laws and culture, any that are felt to be abusing that power and have it proven are forced to step down and a new Dol is chosen..” he said.
‘’Franz’‘ Cross asked after a while ‘’Did anyone tell you that once in the pod no one might find you and if that happened you would eventually die in space? And if you had been informed were you forced or was it your decision no matter the outcome?’‘.
Cross Dr.
”..Yes it was something we had come to accept when I chose to enter the Seed Pod training. It is scary, but it was also exciting to me to maybe have a real family and experience new things outside the Habitat. So I felt it was worth it. So no I was not forced, I chose to go. If I had declined when the offer was made I would have just continued my life and education in The Center with other children then gone into further education for some kind of provision on the Habitat that I was best suited for..” he explained.

With a calming voice Cross replied ‘’ I’m sorry that you found no parents but was lucky enough to find us, our main priority was to get you back to your home land ..taking care of you was our main priority’‘.
There was a shadow of relief on her face,she did not pick anything that might have suggested the child was put inside the pod by force,nor did she see any negative non verbal communication.
All in all the female doctor was satisfied,though she still knew that the boy could have been lied too or if he hid any sociopath tendency he hid them well.Cross got up looking around for Hunter,gesturing to come inside her office ‘’Franz remember the doctor with the long hair?’‘ she pointed at the male doctor.’‘ He shall take you for an ice cream ,its our favorite dessert and I’m sure you would enjoy it’‘ .
Hunter smiled at the boy ‘’Come on young man lets go and get us both some ice cream’‘ taking his hand both left the CMO’s office but not before Hunter poked his tongue at Cross.

Tia had been hovering in the hallway since accompanying the boy to the eval. As the child and his escort reappeared in the hall, she exhaled a breath she didn’t realize she’s been holding. “Everything go alright? You doing ok, Franz?”
She smiled and hoped the child hadn’t been upset. She wasn’t sure why, but the kid has come to mean something to her and it troubled her she couldn’t just snap her fingers and rewind time so they hadn’t interrupted his normal life path. But she couldn’t. And somehow she more felt responsible for him.
