SCI Cadet T’Lira
Posted on September 5th, 2014 by T'Lira

T’Lira still was uncomfortable with shipboard life. It had been years since she’d last been posted full time to a ship. It had been since… since shortly before the Hobus Supernova.
A small part of her wondered about her son, Taril, and how he was doing on Earth. Another part of her wondered about her family and yet another part was almost… petrified about losing her life in the line of duty and…
Wait, why was she thinking about that now? She’d never given death much though, even in the Dominion War’s darkest days. Sometimes, she even forgot her mortality.
Could it be Taril? Could she be… dare she say it… scared about what would happen to him in the event of her death?
T’Lira mentally shook herself and focused on her work. Alignment of grappler launchers… oh, why didn’t she take the engineering extension courses her father recommended when she had the chance?
Making a mental note to do so soon, she entered a few calculations into her own PADD and made a self-note to call Taril as soon as this was over, and then call her family. Possibly her betrothed afterwards… no, he would be too busy.
“Wright to T’Lira.”
Mentally cursing herself, T’Lira reached for her commbadge to answer.
