Personal Back Log Entry

 

 

Home, now, was just a few hundred light years away. Anari took the transport back towards Earth; her parents may be waiting for her, and no doubt the science directory, wondering what took her so long. Back in that time, Arcadia wasn’t too far away either.

 

She wandered around the transport to a window, sat down and gazed upon the warping stars. How long could she hide it? How long could she hold back the thought? She didn’t intend to leave her post for long, but she didn’t know the extend of her mentor’s ailment. The old teacher, also a retired ambassador, was old. How old exactly she didn’t know, Vulcans have the habit of not telling you their age.

 

She the transport near her destination, she continued to wonder. She only had been assigned to Arcadia for less than a year; maybe her friends are still in training, more extensive. Maybe some were still here. Her hopes brightened. Only a year and something was able to drag her from deep space all the way back to Earth. What in her mind did “Assignment” mean?

 

“We’re arriving at Sky Harbour Aegis, passengers designated for this destination please proceed to the air lock, we’ll be refuelling and will resume our journey to Earth in one hour. Guests are permitted to leave the ship but must return by the deadline or you will be staying.” The intra-ship communications said.

 

Staying or take a walk around the promenade. I’ll stay. She decided.

 

The stars are prettier from the view she was sitting at.
