Thalen Sinjyn

Malaise

Malaise:

1 : an indefinite feeling of debility or lack of health often indicative of or accompanying the onset of an illness

2 : a vague sense of mental or moral ill-being

 

 

Thalen enters the observation lounge and retrieves something to drink from the replicator. He steps over to the windows looking out at the stars as he quietly sips the drink.

 

Sighing quietly he wonders not for the first time what he's doing on this glorified garbage scow. It's not like he needed the job and it wasn't like he was really that interested in rising through the ranks of the NFS military. He had been there and done that before on ships that would make the best either Federation, or any other power in the Alpha or Beta Quadrant for that matter, had to offer look like pieces of junk. And yet here he was, First Lieutenant on a ship with a crew that didn't trust him not for who he is..but for what he is. And to top it off he's answering to people who while technically holding higher ranks then him and presuming that they're superior to him and all the while they're mere children playing a dangerous game in a dangerous universe.

 

Murray was a perfect example of that. He sat there petulantly whining about not being told a piece of information that to be honest he had no right to know in the bloody first place. Exactly how childish do a people have to be to think they're going to get everything handed to them on a silver platter merely for existing. Thalen shudders to think what would happen if this ship happened across one of the Cruisers that Thalen used to command. They'd probably try and claim the bloody thing all the while thinking they were entitled to it using some strange twisted logic.

 

Shaking his head he tries to banish the feeling of being out of place that hovers over him like some dark cloak. It was not a new feeling, truth to be told it was something that Thalen had been feeling for a long, relatively speaking, while now. A vague little voice that kept whispering in his mind that something was not right.
