Who: Everyone!!!
Broadcast: No
Action: The Iskaulit
When: For the rest of the month

[Now that we've all had time to settle back into our ships, let's see what's going on over on the Iskaulit! For the new folks, there are already a few establishments and projects going on, but there's plenty of room for everyone, either to join in or to build their own thing. So mingle away!]

Comments

[She nods.] I understand what you mean. Both my parents died when I was very young. I still remember my mother but... not my father.

[tobeajedi]

[Both parents? Ouch... as much as her relationship with Nomi has been troubled, Vima can't imagine a life permanently without her. Maybe the ship inside Beverly's mind looked cozy and comfortable, but that doesn't mean life is.]

...That must have been terrible, to lose both of them. What happened?

[dancingmd]

They were attacked by a species hostile to the Federation. Their research ship didn't stand a chance against the Ubarrak warship. Everyone on board was killed.

[tobeajedi]

...Wow. [Vima shakes her head. It might have happened a long time ago, but it's still not easy to grow up with something like that.]

It's strange, isn't it. It's tough not to have them around, but you get used to it, too.

[dancingmd]

You do. The loss never really goes away, but it isn't so much a defining aspect of my life anymore.

[tobeajedi]

[Yup... that's exactly it. It's just a part of the fabric, now. She sighs, nodding.]

...Not that I want Atroma to get her too, but I do hope you can meet my mother at some point. I don't think she really gets to talk about this much.

[dancingmd]

[She nods. It's often so much easier to talk to someone who has been through it too.]

I would like to meet her as well, if I could. I know how important she is to you.
