Falling Into Good Graces

How could I have been so careless? To let my guard down in such a way is unacceptable. Let me see if there is a suitable place to crash. Upon surveying the area there appears to no safe area to where he could survive the landing. He then reaches for his communicator; "to anyone who can hear this signal. This is Chief Petty Officer Shamor; I am currently free falling without a parachute and need immediate rescue. Please assist immediately." After close to a minute of silence a reply is sent to him. "We hear you 5 x 5 Shamor. Please remain calm while we lock onto your signal." Relieved Shamor replies "thanks for the pick-up, I'm about 35 thousand feet and falling fast." "We got a lock please stand by." Jon finds himself being transported from his current location to what appears to be a bed. Climbing off the bed, he stands up and looks around the room. "First time I crashed into something soft in a good while. Where am I?" As Jon gets his bearings, a person who happens to be Zemun approaches him. "You're safe now, but more specifically you are at the Zemun embassy."

 

 

 

Jon raises his brow "wait a minute. I thought that our kind stayed in the Ascalon Rift. What changed that?" "The proper question would be 'who' not 'what' old friend." A female Zemun with two guards approach both Jon and the other person. "The actions of one can affect many, or have you forgotten what you taught me so long ago J'untar?" Jon smiles "Matriarch Malikara Veras. My question is still valid, what brings you to Earth?" Malikara signals her guards and the officer to leave the room "you were right about what you said so long ago. We need to branch out to establish friendships and not shut ourselves out from the rest of the universe. I'm surprised by the welcome we received when we first arrived a month ago. I guess your reputation reaches this planet as well." She smiles as she looks at Jon. "You're still the same from when you saved my life all those years ago." Jon replies, "On the outside I might appear the same, but I've changed so much over my years of travel."

 

 

 

He walks over to a window "I bet you're wondering why I chose to not return home." Malikara shakes her head "I don't have to ask. The way you walk says it all; you had no home to go back to since the Order changed. That is why you search to fill the emptiness in your heart. The only advice I can give you is to not keep everyone you care about at arm's length, you are going against what you taught me by doing so." He sighs, "You couldn't be more right. There are times when I just want to be happy but I guess I mess that up by being so focused on protecting everyone else. I just don't know what to do…" Malikara walks over to Jon, placing her hand on his shoulder "You just have to stop trying so hard; enjoy the company of others and most importantly let those around you know that you care about them not just as an officer but as a friend."

 

 

 

"I'd better get back to the Reaent; shore leave will be over soon. It was good to see you again." Jon makes his way to exit the embassy before he's stopped by Malikara. "J'untar before you leave please take this. I'm sure it will come in handy for when you stop being so distant" she smirks at him as she hands Jon the package. He accepts the item then bows respectfully "bokyhanet Matriarch Veras." She smiles back at him "bokyahnet J'untar Shamor, I hope you find peace and happiness in your travels." As the door closes behind him, Jon mumbles three words. I hope so…
