Sal nodded after a moment, turning back to the operator she informed him where they were to go, with a beep the doors shut on the tram car and it began to slowly accelerate down the tube. Turning back to the group Sal said, “..We should be there in about 2 minutes or so. Our cultural center is several levels down from here, and takes up a good percentage of that area of the habitat as it is home to many of our common recreational, educational, and such facilities that focus on our society as a whole. Our common schooling system for our youth for example are contained there..” she said.

Cross sat down and listened attentively.

Glancing back the operator who was working a speed control monitor spoke, “..Provided we are not delayed, they could also take in the local elementary youth’s sports match up! The Star Primes are facing off against the Moss Crawlers in another hour or so. I think it’s Gravball today.” he said.

It seemed that this trip would be quite interesting after all, unlike what she initially thought ,Sal seemed genuine and yet Cross could never fully trust anyone she hardly knew, it all stemmed to the life the doctor had experienced.

Cross Dr,

Hearing yet another possible location name to visit , the muscles in the side of Joe’s neck began to pulse. It has taken nearly thirty minutes just to get everyone going in this direction. So he spoke then saying then to Sal ,”Let us stick to the agreed upon schedule for the moment and then later we can change things around a bit. We’ll see the location that our good doctor wants to see next thank you.”

Lt.Cmdr. Joe Milligan XO.

Cross turned around to face Joe with a complete surprise look on her face,did she hear right? Apparently this was a tour that few were interested in or maybe the team also wondered about the orphaned kids .Also how came they never asked for the boy to be send back or a least about his psychical and psychological status ? .
Could it be because he had nothing to offer when it came to more advanced technology?. Is that all they cared about?.

Lance was surprised the cross actually listened to him and the smile he gave her was Beautiful but he was as keeping it to himself. Maybe she would like to get some dinner with him after this mission. He started to think to himself.

Lt. Lance Del Wolf (COS)

The female doctor saw the surprised look on his face ‘’I ain’t the troubled doctor some make me out to be Lt and oh lest I forget, if we make it back to the ship remember your medical ‘’ she prodded Lance with her finger right in the middle of his chest.

Then the doctor who had just said she did not cause any trouble stood up ‘’Miss ,em ma’am Sal doesn’t this darn tram go any faster?’‘.

Cross CMO.

”..Only in times of emergency I am afraid..” Sal replied. Just as she said this the tram car slowed and with a ding and hiss the tram doors opened on the right as they stopped at the local cultural station. “..Ah and here we are!” She said stepping out.

Finally Cross thought as she took a deep breath and stood up to get off the tram .

The station was like many of the other tram stations they had stopped at. A few workers or others local to the habitat gave them a curious look, but news traveled faster than the tram it seems and mostly they were left alone for now. Following Sal up some steps they emerged into a large three deck complex home to easily many large long buildings. Most of the locals here seemed either in the profession of some kind of educational role, local kids and teens in various groups or activities, or the like. There was evidence of recreational parks, schools for different ages, purpose and skill focuses, and even a museum or two.

With a keenly observant eyes the doctor looked around and from what she could see nothing seemed off in fact it looked considerable much like home,while the recreational park was pleasing to the eye .

Cross made eye contact with the locals and her verbal non communication expressed friendliness ,then waited for the others to gather up while hoping Sal would eventually allow them inside the classes.

Cross CMO.

Joe had been practicing his version of good leadership skills throughout the past few minutes listening to the banter of the crew by simply being quiet himself. As far as he was concerned as long as they knew where their doctor was, and she wasn’t biting anyone all was right with the world and there was no reason for him to meddle in it. Thus it was that as he departed the tram and he moved forward with the group that he was silent and in a state of near bliss. It was only when he moved forward and stood slightly in front of Cross and looked out at the parks with the children that he felt as if he had been punched in the stomach. The past that Cross had told him of was still an aching pain in him as hot and burning as a red hot coal.

Cross would never have guessed what the Cmdr had been thinking ,to her seeing the children meant nothing.

Joe mentally chided himself though and reminded himself that he had taken more blows to the stomach than he had needed to in his life and learned to tolerate those. He could very well breath through this one as well. He stood his fists clenched as if to return a punch, took a long deep breath and finally releasing the breath he turned to Sal and asked her, ” Sal , how is your culture structured? Is it structured by different tiers? “

Lt.Cmdr. Joe Milligan XO

Even during the pregnancy the female doctor felt no maternal instinct ,only in the last few weeks did she feel some protection to her unborn child, knowing the baby would be taken away by those that had captured her and only for a brief second did Cross see that the baby was male.

Cross CMO.

Joe wasn’t generally known as a patient person in altogether too many places in Federation space. Even now that he was frowning older, he had yet to see anything like patience appear in his overall personality. This was starting to make itself apparent as it seemed that Sal had lost her train of thought. Or perhaps the tram had suddenly broken? Either way Joe was now finding himself with a group of people including himself which would much sooner be moving than standing. So once again he addressed Sal hoping for an answer this time. “Excuse me ma’am? ” he asked politely with a smile. “Is there a problem with the tram?”
Lt. Cmdr. Joe Milligan XO
OOC: Em..we already got off the tram .

This was too much for Cross ,she had been standing there waiting and getting anxious . What she was feeling inside her brain was all too familiar ,The doctor started to fidget,she looked around trying to divert her attention to something ,anything to stop what was about to happen .

The same little voice in her head told her to calm down,told her she could do it and reminded her that the consequences of her actions would not be tolerated not this time.

Cross CMO.

( I thought we had gotten off and were getting ready to leave again! My bad.)

Joe saw Cross fidgeting out of the corner of his eye. He decided to save the CSO another chewing out at this time as he Cross had already taken a sizable bite from the lad earlier. ” So, Miri,” Joe began in an offhand tone. “Have you read in the medical journals about the newly discovered mental illness among starship crews? It was quite interesting.”

Lt.Cmdr. Joe Milligan XO

Cross wiped the perspiration which was running down her face ‘’Of course I know Cmdr for I was the one who brought up the subject of the importance of a counselor on every star-ship and gave a lecture down at the academy, needless to say that it takes time,so maybe in the future one would be present among the crew ‘’ the doctor kept looking straight ahead ‘’For now my dear its the CMO who acts as a counselor…any questions?’‘ .

If they kept this up ,it seems there will came a day when one off them would be locked up on the bridge while the other face up on a biobed.

Cross CMO.

Joe turned to Cross . His eyes were twinkling like those of a little boy puling a prank and a crooked smile on his face as he spoke saying ,”Really? There is such a thing? I was referring to your present condition of nervous foot. But let’s keep those feet where they are shall we?”

Lt. Cmdr. Joe Milligan XO

OOC: Posts are coming people I’m so sorry! My grandfather is sick atm and fell just today and so is in the hospital. I’ll bang this out soon as I can please bare with me :(

GM CockRoach

OOC: No problem . No Roach spray will be used in this sim. Wish your Grandfather good health .

Bob
