When the shuttle races were complete, Lael found herself still on duty nearly two hours after her shift has ended, most of which she spent in the Engineering Workshop, trying to come to terms with Alex's sudden departure. In that time, she realized what bothered her most wasn't that he'd left on a mission of indefinite length, but that he hadn't even said goodbye. Chythar had gotten a letter, but she hadn't. She was surprised when the Captain arrived. A brief exchange reminded Lael that she and Alex were supposed to present their pet project to the Captain before his sudden departure. Not feeling right about talking to Rahman about it without Alex, she'd instead offered the Captain her After-Action Report (AAR) as a cover. However, Rahman had seen right through her attempt to divert the topic and confronted her about it. Lael reluctantly admitted the difficulties she was having with Alex's sudden departure. Perhaps seeing that Lael needed a distraction, Rahman had surprised Lael with an invitation to join her for an inspection of the ship, which Lael had accepted gratefully. The two had made small talk as they walked and had gotten to know each other a bit better. | When the shuttle races were complete, Lael found herself still on duty nearly two hours after her shift has ended, most of which she spent in the Engineering Workshop, trying to come to terms with Alex's sudden departure.

Later, Lael found herself in the Officer's Lounge reflecting on a recent communication from her brother, attached to which had been many childhood holophotos that she hadn't seen or thought about in some time. One in particular caught her attention: herself and her childhood best friend, Nicholas Swett. The two had been incredibly close throughout her grade school years and she'd even had a crush on him. In the midst of her trip down memory lane, a young ensign approached her table and engaged her in conversation. She learned that the young woman was the new Helm officer, [[T'Venna]]. They talked for some time, mostly about duty, settling in, and briefly about their childhoods. | Later, Lael found herself in the Officer's Lounge reflecting on a recent communication from her brother, attached to which had been many childhood holophotos that she hadn't seen or thought about in some time.

Knowing that Chythar was still upset over Alex and in an attempt to soothe her own feelings, she took him to the holodeck and shared one of her childhood happy places with him ([http://www.muskegoncc.edu/mathphysical-sciences/carr-fles-planetarium/ Carr-Fles Planetarium] on the Muskegon Community College campus near her hometown of Cedar Springs). The two shared a bottle of brandy and stared up at the stars, talking. Alex was mentioned briefly, but Lael quickly changed the topic when they both started getting upset. Instead, she goaded him into going to the senior staff party in the Officer's Mess as her date, joking that he might actually get to dance with her to real music with Jansen being there to steal her away. | ===='''''Go To My Happy Place'''''==== | ||
