CHAPTER 14

Daxon stormed out of Maggie’s rooms and went in search of Ambassador Pacer. The last thing he wanted was to play nursemaid to a human woman! Damn Pacer and his meddling ways.

Heading straight for Pacer’s office, Daxon didn’t bother knocking; he just barged in not caring if he interrupted the ambassador’s work. As expected, Pacer was sitting at his desk. Just as expected was the smug look on his face when he realized who his visitor was.

“What do you mean dumping that woman on me? I am the security chief! I do not have time to play guide for her!” roared Daxon.

“It is simple, actually. Your duties do not keep you so busy at the moment that you cannot take time out to help Maggie meet some of the crew and learn our ways. She will also need help getting around the ship, at least to the areas she is allowed into. I really do not see what the problem is. Others have taken the opportunity to help with the program, it is merely your chance to do your part. Besides, her pet seems to like you already. Oh, and by the way, take her by the medical facility and have them look at her arm. They should be able to help it heal faster than it would on its own.”

“Since when do we share our medical technology with the humans?” asked Daxon.

“Since now. Think of it as a sign of good faith. I am sure it is difficult for her to get around in a new place while being impaired with a broken arm,” calmly replied Pacer.

“She is only here to avoid the criminals in her town; for security. She is not truly interested in getting to know any of us Nordonians. It is extremely doubtful she will even stay here the two weeks she mentioned.”

“Nonsense. Her feeling insecure at home, the danger she is in, is incidental. It may be the catalyst for her visit, but I believe she truly is interested in finding a life partner. She appears to believe in Fate. There is no reason why we can’t use this time wisely and see how things turn out. Worst case scenario, she will decide to leave and return home, without her memories for these next two weeks.”

“And if she does go back to Earth? And we have fixed her arm? How will that be explained? And is she even sane? She talks to her pet like it can understand her!” asked Daxon.

“It will not be explained, but stranger things happen all the time. It will just be another mystery for her. As for her sanity, she has explained it. Now stop stalling and help Maggie get set up in her new rooms.”

With nothing else to add, Daxon left the ambassador’s office and headed to Supply. He would get this stuff for her pet replicated, take it to her, and then leave.

As he made his way back to Maggie’s room, he pondered his own reaction to the woman.
