David nodded, “Alright, I’m going to message your superior officer to give you that shift off and you’re going to use the time to rest. Sleep, work out on the holodeck, play some racketball. I don’t care how you spend that time so long as it spent doing something you find relaxing.” He picked up the PADD again and started typing “Security right?” he asked as he finished the message.

”waght hold on Doctor is that really necessary we don’t really have enough people in security for someone to be out an entire shift” Luna said. She was concerned. The safety of the ship was at stake her she know they could not afford for her to miss a shift.

“You’ll be on call, but a tired officer, is more of a liablitiy than an rested officer they can call on when the need arises. Quite frankly Ensign, you’ve fallen into what is loosly termed as ‘sleep dept’ if you don’t catch up now, you’re going to end up missing more than just one shift.”

” we could watch a movie with daddy” Crenity chimed in. Luna shook her head as much as she would love that they just did not have the manning for her to be out for a shift.
Ensign Luna

David softened his voice “I used to work in Security, I can understand the responsibility you feel, but tired people make mistakes. Spend time with your daughter, relax and if you’re desperatly needed the ship will call on you,”

Ensign Harrington
Doctor

Luna smiled “ you are right.” She said simply agreeing with him.

Crenity Giggled “ I think Daddy will be happy” the child said giggling. Luna shook her head and giggled kids shure do have a way of tell on there parents.
Ensign Luna

“I’m sure he will be,” David smile glad that Luna had accepted his wisdom. He finished sending the message to the security chief that Luna would be on call for her next routine shift in order for her to get some rest.

“Right, I think I still have another physical to complete. Miss Crenity.” He quirked an eyebrow, “I think that’s your turn,”

Harrington
Doctor

“Yap” the child said chiefly.
Luna smiled and hoped off the bio bed to stand next to the doctor. “ yes I can’t believe she is two already time does fly” Luna said.
“Like us” Crenity said. Crenity was quick. Luna shock her head. She looked at the doctor the leand close enough so only he would hear. “Yes she can fly but that needs to stay out of her medical records. If you need further explanation we can set up a time to meet with out her present” Luna said. Luna went to great lengths to protect her daughter from her horrible past. She would not risk Crenity suffering the way she had.
Ensign Luna

David’s face remained impassive but inside his brain whirled at the dilemna that he was now faced with. As a medical practioner he was obligated to ensure that Crenities medical records were factual, truthful and up-to-date so that any other doctor could treat her efficantly. But this was the Viking, and the Viking was slightly different to any other ship in the fleet and the wings on the child would doubtlessly be a medical curiousity should the news get out so he wasn’t surprised that Ensign Luna wanted to protect her daughter from that kind of attention at such a young age.

“How long have you been able to fly?” David asked as he began to scan Crenity with his tricorder. His internal debate still reciding in the back of his mind. “Can you both do it?”

Harrington
Doctor

“ for ever. Mommy can fly to.” she said. Witch was accurate from the two year olds point of view. Luna smiled.

“She has had primary feathers sence she was six months old and she figured out how to fly on her own.” Luna clarified. The scans would show Crenity’s hart rate was higher then an average child her age but within the normal range for her. Her blood presser was also lower then the average human of her age but agen this was well within her normal ranger. Her weight however was a problem she waged well under what she should even when her hollow bones were taken into construction. The scan would show that the child had an extremely fast metabolism. This was noted in Crenitys medical records and had been a constant battle sence she had been born. Luna’s own record was incomplete so there was no way of knowing if Crenity’s fast metabolism would slow down as she got older.
Ensign Luna

David noted all of the facts from the scanner quietly without comment. “Well your daughter is healthy enough, her weights a little low, but I’ll wager you already know that. How has she been dieting?”

Harrington
Doctor

“ yah we have been fighting with that since she was born. She can only eat a digest so much at a time she eats frequent large meals through out the day she actually eats more then I do. It’s just that she seam to burn through her food as soon sad she has eaten it. I’m not shure what to do about it to be honest with you Doc.” Luna said. She shook her head worry crossing her face for a moment. “ I’m ok mom I fell fine and I always eat all my food even the veggies” she said grinning. She was clearly oblivious to what her mother was woryed about.
Ensign Luna

“Have you tried putting suppliments in her food?” David asked thoughtfully, if the child simply had a fast metabolism than there really wasn’t an awful lot they could do about it. Putting extra neutrients in Crenity’s food might help her gain more weight, but it may not. At the very least it would make sure she was getting all the neutirence that she needed.

Harrington
Doctor

“ I had not thought about that is it safe” Luna asked she was a bit unsure about using supplements in Crenity’s food. “ it’s worth a try” Luna said.

“It’s just a chemical compound of all the neutrients that she takes in through her food anyway. Don’t worry it’s safe,”

” I’m sorry it’s just…” Luna said trailing off for a moment looking for the right words. ” it’s just that she is, I want to protect her” she finally said not knowing how else to explain that she was worried because there were no other humanoids like them that were known about in star fleet.

“I get it,” David said softly so Crenity wouldn’t hear him, “We are all protective of those we love,” there was a touch of sadness in his voice. He’d found the care Luna had for her daughter touching, he couldn’t remember a time where his own mother had fussed over small details, certainly not for Harry and probably not for him. Had he ever been this protective of Harry?

Crystal tuned her head sideways “ What are Supplements” she asked. Luna furrowed her eye brows as she tryed to fight out the best why to explain it to the child.
Ensign Luna

“It’s the stuff in food that helps you grow to be big and strong,” David winked at the child, “Then you can do all kinds of flying,”

Harrington
Doctor

” I already do all kinds of flying its fun” she said.
Ensign Luna

“I think she’s going to be fine,” The physician in him desperately wanted to request that Luna and Crenity go to the holodeck with him so that he could test their capabilites, but Luna didn’t want Crenity’s abilites on file and he had to respect that. Speaking off… squashing down the desire for Luna to make an appointment, he flagged down a nurse without explaination. “However, I would like a word with you in private, NE Mark here can watch Crenity if you can spare a minute?” Although his tone phrased the sentance like a question, there was a subtle que in his body language that this wasn’t as much of a request as he was making it appear to be.

Harrington
Doctor

“ of course Doctor” Luna said with a smile she turned to Crenity.

“ Crenity you stay here an behave yourself. I will be back in a minute” Luna said Crenity simply nodded. Luna then turned her attention to NE Mark. “ if she give you any trouble come get me please” she said before following Doctor Harrington.
Ensign Luna

OOC: Out of curiosity is it on Luna’s file that she can fly?

OOC: yes that information would be in Luna’s Recorded.

IC: When David reached an empty corner of sickbay he stopped and turned to face Luna placing a gentle hand on her elbow, to keep her close so that they could confer quietly without any risk of being over heard. “Thank you for agreeing to talk with me in private, I didn’t want to have this discussion in front of your daughter.” He lowered his voice a touch “However you’ve asked me to willingly neglect to put information concerning your daughter’s health into her file, and I can’t do that Ensign, it’s my sworn duty to ensure that my patients files are up to date, and full of accurate, up-to-date information so that other doctors have all the information they need. That way if there’s an emergency, they know how best to treat the patient.” He let go of her arm and folded his own across his ches, “You want me to forgo all that. You want me to go against my better judgement. Why?”

Harrington
Doctor

“ it’s for her protection doctor. I would not have answered your question if you had asked me infrant of Crenity the less she knows the better.” Luna said she looked around making sure there was no one near. “ I am the result of a genetic engineering experiment I was give to section 31 when I was three years old. I did not have wings then they changed my DNA to include bird genetic material. The results is my wings hollow bones and bird like cardiovascular tract. It was painful doctor I spent hours restrained wing poked an prodded.” She said pausing. Tears formed in her eyes she was quick to wipe them away she looked around one more time. “I eventually escaped section 31 and joined Starfleet. I was stationed on board this ship. When I found out I was pregnant and she would inherit my curse I was devastated. I don’t what her to suffer the way I did. She doesn’t know fear now I don’t want her to learn to be afraid of the world but if section 31 Chet’s ahold of her she will” Luna said.
Ensign Luna

It took all of Davids years of training as an officer and leader for him to not react in anger. He pinched the bridge of his nose and strode a few steps away from Luna. He needed to think, process the information that he had just been given. Section 31… of course it had to be them that would do something so heinous as experiment on a 3 year old. On his last posting, before Briar had gone missing, they’d had a few near misses with Section 31, he knew he wasn’t surprised at Luna’s revelation. It was his medical side that recoiled in horror at the thought of any doctor experimenting on a child no matter what kind of medical breakthrough they thought they would achieve.

Eventually he paused his pacing and found Luna again. “How-” he paused, swallowed back his emotions, so that when he next spoke he sounded calm and professional. “How long have you been running from Section 31?” he asked, “How much danger do you think you and your daughter are in?”

Harrington
Doctor

Luna was not surprised by his reaction she simply weighted for him to calm down. “ I did not know it was ten responsible until just over two years ago, when I and Ensign Reira Akaba were both kidnaped from the bridge of this ship. After we were rescued I found out I was pregnant with Crenity they know I’m here they will come after me again but if Crenity’s records can be keep to the minimum they may not bother with her. I have a feeling I was stationed on this ship so that section 31 could come after me again” she said quietly.
Ensign Luna

Davids mind worked, quickly. 2 years ago that would have been right about when… “Was my sister envolved?” he whispered urgently. Reira Akaba’s name was familiar somehow as well. His gut had twisted cold and uncomfortably in the way that David was beginning to associate with his thoughts about Harry. “Is that why she’s missing and my parents won’t do a damned thing about it?” His voice was rising with emotion as he began to get worked up.

Taking a deep breath and pinching his nose again he settled himself back down. “Sorry,” he apoloigised, looking around quickly to make sure nobody had overheard him. “It’s a lot for me to take in… and a lot for you to have to live with.”

Harrington
Doctor

Luna put her right hand to her head closing her eyes. She put her left hand on Harrington’s shoulder her wings opening stilly. Of a short moment the doctor would be able to see past the “mask” Luna wore. He could see how truly fragile the young mother was. The stresses and weight of both her past and mother hood having worn her down considerably. It was a moment before she spoke. “ your sister helped rescue us from admiral Leo Akaba. That crazy man is ensign Akaba’s father he signed the order that led to my torture and turned his own sun into a borg drone. If I remember correctly the Viking would not have made it out in one pice if it had not been for your sister. Your sister disappeared just after Crenity was born” Luna said.
Ensign Luna

David let out a slow breath, “I never knew that,” he said, a proud smile tugging at his tired face. Despite the stress of the conversation, it was nice to hear something good about his baby sister, even if it did drive home just how little he knew about her. How much she had kept him out of her life. “Thank you,”

He looked at Luna, seeing a veriation of the same weariness that he felt in her features. “I’ll keep your daughters secret safe for as long as I can,” David lowered his voice so nobody but Luna could hear him, “But given the nature of your daughters circumstances she is just as much of a medical marvel as you are - perhaps even more so.” he kept his voice low and solomn. He wasn’t saying any of this to scare Luna, merely to caution her. He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, “But lets hope for the best,”

Assuming the discussion was finished, and Luna didn’t want to be away from her daughter too long, even though Crenity was just across sickbay, he strode back to where NE Marks and the girl were waiting. “This Reira Akaba you mentioned…” he said after a few steps, “how well did he know my sister?” making it appear to any eavesdropper in sickbay, that Harrington had pulled Luna away to press her for details about his sister.
