Who: Brianna Randall ([personal profile] givingback) & OPEN
What: Heading back to where everyone's hanging out in stasis.
When: September 12th.
Where: The Station
Warning(s): death of a parent conversations likely.



[ It's not even mid-month yet, and already, Bree's had a more exhausting September than she's ever had in her life. Her mother? Possessed - literally. That would be enough, but the ghosts, the wailing, the missing of the dead was all too much. Enough to push Bree into finally getting back to the station, back to where everyone is still in stasis.

It's not hard to find the room once there, and as she stares at all the pods she wonders how they choose who gets to wake and who doesn't. A daughter needs her father with her, right? Or maybe it's enough that she has her mother. Maybe it's enough that she has a father she doesn't even know well yet. Walking among the pods, she finds Frank easily enough. His glasses are on his face and she closes her eyes for a second against a laugh that's half amusement half...something else. ]


Can't forget your reading glasses.

[ She murmurs that softly, touching the pod feather lightly before looking up at his sleeping (?) face. ]

You have no idea how much I miss you. Sometimes, back home, it still felt like a dream. I keep walking back through that day because it seems so impossible. You were alive in the morning when I came downstairs. You were alive when I went to the library. You were alive when I was at the movie. And then you weren't. You were just gone. You were gone in between me buying popcorn and watching Tunga Khan executing all the missionaries. It isn't fair.

[ Taking a deep breath and wiping away a tear, she slides down and sits on the floor right by his pod. And she talks to him. About everything. He probably can't hear her, but she tells him she knows about Jamie, about the stones and all the rest of it, talking to him for hours before finally sounding like she's wrapping up. ]

I wish they would wake you up. I'm here, and we could have more time together. All you have to do is wake up, dad.

[ She's not even aware that anyone else has entered the room with her, sitting with her knees curled up to her chest. ]

[Brianna...that seems like a likely connection to someone named Bree. Caleb looks at her curiously as he nods and shakes her hand.]

I do. She's my friend.

That's when you major in one thing and minor in another. Or do both. There's nothing that says you can't hold degrees in both subjects or specialize in more than one thing. If there were, a science geek like myself wouldn't have found herself in command of a starship.

[ and an archaeology enthusiast like picard wouldn't be commanding the federation's flagship. ]
smithandwesson: Shut up and start walking you stupid monkey! (It's only a short distance!)

And suddenly, a plot twist.

Sounds to me like they both still loved you despite how they had felt towards one another. As tedious as it probably was, it sounds like you had a nice life before all of this.

[It's something that needs to be savored, especially when you are being thrown out into the world on your own out of the blue because of an unexpected situation.]

And the fact that you still have your mother here with you now is some pretty good luck on it's own.

[Especially when there were so many people who came to this world entirely on their own.

He took a moment, really taking in how many stasis pods surrounded them. So many unknown faces from so many different worlds.
]

You're also lucky that you were able to find him in all thi--

[And with that he stopped. Seeming to pause mid-sentence as he found himself losing track of the conversation.]

[ a nod. (she's happy to provide the distraction.) ]

A ship that was built in space. The only time my vessel's ever been planetside was when we landed her. Otherwise, she's born, bred, and thrives in space.

[ as if her ship is this living, breathing thing. maybe voyager isn't, but she's guilty of conversing with the bulkheads when no one's looking, of whispering pleas and bribes to the consoles when power is flickering, as if that will somehow convince the ship's failing systems to remain active for a few seconds longer. ]

What a magical time, to be alive for those first shots into space. I'm from 2374, so quite some time since humanity first circled the moon.

[....While Caleb is very glad that Nott is making connections to people and helping them...part of that statement has him...blinking. He may have mostly missed the strange apparitions and temporal changes. Which is probably for the best.]

I'm sorry, you...turned into a toddler?

[What??]

Not everything. If we knew everything, I'd be out of a job!

[ a laugh. space is vast and she's encountered things in the delta quadrant a cosmic specialist like herself had never even heard of before. humanity still has a long way to go before they know everything there is to know about space. ]
smithandwesson: (...!!)

About time this loser found something sentimental in all his time on Nysa

Ahh--... Nothing. It's... Nothing.

[But he definitely seemed to be staring at something. Whatever pod seemed to be opposite Bree's father int he hall.]

... What was I saying before?
