[After the mystery and isolation of their last destination, the Marsiva seems determined to head to brighter, busier territory. After a long journey through remote, nebula-painted space, speeding along at a brisk pace for the Host ship, the Marsiva brings her Fleet to a sudden and prominent point of traffic.

It seems that the Fleet has happened upon some sort of vacation destination! Maybe Atroma thinks that the passengers deserve some rest and relaxation... or just wants to distract them with something huge and shiny.

Welcome to Hotel Corona! Feel free to enjoy yourselves and enjoy the sites! If a hotel resort isn't your thing, you can head on over to the nearby planet and explore it's icy wonders.

[She shakes her head.]

No, I don't want to be in charge. I'm going to be a doctor, just like McCoy!

[You see where her loyalties lie now, Kirk. Betrayal!]

[universal_charm]

<sub>[ Well, he should have been expecting that, though it was interesting that one so young was so set on that particular field. But, maybe that was what made her a great doctor. One of the things, anyways.

He laughed, shaking his head. ]</sub>

I'm sure he'll be glad to hear he inspired such a bright young lady to don a blue shirt.

Though, why were you running from the hotel staff, if I might ask?

[dancingmd]

They were trying to put me in daycare.

[She makes a disgusted face.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ Kirk cannot help but smirk and try and hold back a giggle. It doesn't work very well, but he did give a valiant effort. The idea of Beverly in daycare, of all things, is just - well that'll give him a good laugh for awhile. ]}

That's a good reason to run, definitely.

Where did you plan on going before they tried to jail you?

[dancingmd]

[She starts to speak but falters, her little brow furrowing as she looks up at him.]

I was trying to find Nana, but... I know I won't find her.

[universal_charm]

<sub>[ Oh. He was bad at this sort of thing with kids, but...

He reached out, wrapping an arm around her. ]</sub>

I know. But if you want, you can hang out with me, and you can stay with me on my ship until we get you back home.

_{[ He gave her an encouraging smile. ]}

They have a fun arcade here. Is that something you like to do? Or are you more the library type?

[dancingmd]

[She tilts her head, curious and eager.]

What's an arcade?

[universal_charm]

_{[ His grin widens and he wraps his arm around her in a brotherly manner across the shoulders, which also helps keep up the illusion of relation in case anyone decides to try and take her to a day care again. ]}

It's a place where you can play lots of games! They have all sorts. Or if you don't like that, there's things like mini-golf too.

[dancingmd]

Games!

[She claps her hands together.]

Let's go there! To the arcade!

[universal_charm]

Excellent! It's a bit of a walk, but worth it.

What games do you like playing the most?

_{[ He was doing this kid thing right, right? Really he just needed to get her distracted and then call Bones. He would know what to do. At least things were going well. ]}

I'm a chess man, myself, but I did like the simulated space fighters.

[dancingmd]

Mmm... I like puzzles and kadis-kot and um... choose your own adventure stories!

[universal_charm]

Hmm, okay, there should be something like that in the arcade! And if not, we'll go find some place that does.

Oh, I guess I should ask - are you hungry at all? When's the last time you ate?

_{[ Letting a child starve was not something he wanted on his resume. ]}

[dancingmd]

[She shakes her head.]

Dr. McCoy took me to eat earlier! He didn't make me eat brussels sprouts or anything!

[universal_charm]

_{[ Good, McCoy had taken care of her. Though that did bring up the question of how and why exactly she got away from him. Surely Bones wouldn't have simply set her loose, would he? ]}

Haha, he didn't? Well, he's a pretty cool guy, so that doesn't surprise me.

_{[ He leans down to whisper to her like he's sharing a major secret as they wait for an elevator. ]}

He did make me eat broccoli once though.

[dancingmd]

[Beverly is pretty headstrong and prone to exploring, so Bones can hardly be blamed for that.

She pulls a face at Kirk's admission.]

Gross! But that is better than Brussels sprouts at least. They're the worst.
