CHAPTER SIX

Beginnings…

It was something she’d had plenty of recently, Morgan thought as she stared out of the observation window, admiring the beautiful starscape in front of her. She found comfort in the vastness of space, with the brilliant display of colorful stars and gases that only added to its beauty. Somehow, witnessing just how small a part of the universe she actually was helped her deal with whatever problems she faced each day.

The observation deck on the fifth level was supposed to be reserved for VIP guests only, since that was where the guest suites were located. She was the only one in the observation deck, but that wasn’t unusual. It was late, and most of the VIP guests were either in their suites or enjoying themselves down in one of the bars.

Orion had a suite on this level, and she had agreed to stay with him there after he’d asked her. She hadn’t expected Orion, Blaiz and Daven to move all of her stuff up to the suite after they’d left Asylum, but Orion had insisted. She knew he disliked her quarters, and didn’t see a reason to argue when the guest suites were so much nicer.

Morgan had enjoyed getting to know Orion’s friends. Although they didn’t share blood, Orion, Blaiz and Daven were definitely like brothers. Instead of making her earn her place or treating her like she was an outsider, they all accepted her into their circle.

For the first time since she’d lost her parents, she felt like she belonged to a family.

They had ordered their evening meal from the food console in their suite, and they’d spent the evening together, laughing and telling stories. It had been wonderful hearing about the adventures the three of them had together in the past, and she’d loved hearing about Orion as a young boy.

After they’d eaten, Daven and Blaiz had chosen to return to the lower decks to join in the festivities. Since most of the crew didn’t have to work tomorrow due to the grand opening celebration, the parties were expected to go all night.

Orion had contacted Adric and Iyana M’Dor earlier, and was currently meeting with them down the hall in their suite. He had invited Morgan to go with him, but she’d declined, wanting a little quiet time to herself. In the last few days, she hadn’t had any time to herself, and though she loved being with him, she wasn’t used to being with someone all the time.

When the space station had been traveling to its current position, this had been Morgan’s favorite place to come when she wanted to be somewhere quiet besides in her own quarters. She liked the open space, and since the elites on board hardly ever ventured to this section of the station, it was almost always empty.

The deck was appointed with beautifully crafted, comfortable lounge chairs and couches so people could relax and enjoy the view. It seemed like a waste, since no one was ever there. It had been built when X21 had been slated to take over for one of the older space stations.
