I find myself wanting pecan pie.

There is a certain frustration in waiting. I recall mention of a library aboard; does it contain historical texts from the various universes occupants are from?

Interesting. I was having difficulty deciding what to do when we were decommissioned.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

[Sympathetically:] I know how that is.

[with_discipline]

Do you? [Miiight sound curious.]

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

[Trying not to say too much:] I was unemployed for a while after working in a business practically my whole life.

[with_discipline]

I see. I imagine it was difficult.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

So what did you do after you were decommissioned?

[with_discipline]

Came here. It was a very recent occurrence.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[Feeling a little awkward:] Good luck. Sorry, didn't mean to bring up anything too personal.

[with_discipline]

You didn't. [LIIIIIIEEEEES.]

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

[Super puppy dog feelings senses go!] Are you sure?

[with_discipline]

[She's sad on the inside. Honest.] Quite certain.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

[Not wanting to push further if she didn't want to talk:] Alright.

Your home. What's that like?

[with_discipline]

[She knows knew people who could learn from him. :|]

Arid. Vulcan is desert like, far different from Earth in regards to terrain. [A little pause] I prefer Earth.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

[Curiously:] What do like so much about Earth?

[with_discipline]

Vulcan has had warp drive for centuries; it took a planet that we once believed to be simple and backwards to bring together the Coalition of Planets.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

Huh. Interesting. So the Starfleet thing started from Earth?

[with_discipline]

There are plans to link it to the Coalition, but yes - it originated on Earth.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

So how did you join Starfleet?

[with_discipline]

When Earth was threatened by the Xindi, the Vulcan High Council tried to bring me back to Vulcan. I thought it - appropriate to resign my commission and join Starfleet.

Curious Sammy is just so curious

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

Who are the Xindi?

It's just adorable.

[with_discipline]

They come from the Delphic Expanse. Five species who evolved on the same planet.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

The what?

[with_discipline]

It's approximately fifty light years from Earth, and covered a space of perhaps two thousand light years. It was bordered by thermobaric clouds, and spacial anomalies occurred regularly within it.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry but... I'd appreciate if you'd explain.

[with_discipline]

[Just pausing a bit while she considers how to approach it.] The Expanse was two thousand light years wide, a large area of space in which the natural laws of physics seemed not to apply. Spacial anomalies can be devastating: disruptions in gravity, brain activity, physical appearance. It is not usually easily fixed, and difficult to a void. Thermobaric clouds made up the perimeter of the Expanse; they are a type of energy formation.

Is that clearer?
