"Some Getting Used To"

0710.07

 

 

It was taking some getting used to. She had only been on the ship for what seemed like a very small amount of time. The Excalibur was slowly becoming a home to her. And Luna was settling into a routine. She spent most of her time working in Engineering. Quietly quirky, she kept to herself mostly. When she wasn’t getting her hands dirty in the bowels of the ship (her favorite place to be!) …she was in her quarters doing her own thing. Whether it was reading Engineering journals, working on her own ideas for improving the Engineering field or any other of her passions, she hadn’t made much time for socializing. The only people she had kept in contact with was her brothers …at least she was before they found themselves in a mirror universe. Now she had kept to keeping her own journals for the time being.

 

“Personal log, Luna Gossamer. It seems like forever since I have talked to Chase or Spencer. I am wondering how they are doing. And I’ve wondered how Peter is doing as well.” She was sitting on the floor of her quarters, Indian style with her legs crossed beneath her. In her mind she saw a mental picture of her three brothers. Confidant Chase. He was a Lieutenant on another starship. A Science man himself though. And Spencer, still having fun at the Academy. Peter …well, he was still a virtual vegetable still. He hadn’t changed much since he was severely brain damaged at age 5 in the attack that killed her parents and had scarred her body.. Except for the fact he was man-sized now. She sighed. Luna had always felt more responsible for Peter. Her other brothers barely visited him. I think he made them uncomfortable. The though that he was laying in a bed somewhere with no one visiting him made her sad. She had still sent him messages, even if she knew he had no clue who she was or what was going on around him.

 

“Anyway, I am getting settled into life here on the Excalibur. I am really enjoying learning more and more in my department. The other engineers I work with are really talented and I am sure I will begin making new friends eventually. Sometimes people view me as strange and hopefully here will be a little different than the Academy. I had a hard time fitting in. Right now, I am focused on my work and the things I enjoy doing. I guess that is about it. I am sure there will be more to say once we get out of this mirror universe. It’s definitely been an adventure so far.”

 

She laid back on the floor and put her feet up on her small coffee table. Wiggling her toes, making her sparkly toe ring glisten in the light of the room, she exhaled. Yeah, that was all she had to say for now.

 

“Computer, end and save log.”
