WHO: Violet and OPEN
WHAT: Another Night of Moon Research
WHEN: Evening
WHERE: Random Park
RATING: PG-13
STATUS: In progress

After her chat with Seven of Nine and seeing that it was her 16 year old self that started the telescope project Violet decided another night of work was in order. "Something must have gone wrong with the lens system" as she switched out the probme lens with one she had found in the nearby junkyard. But Violet has an even bigger problem: being alone in the apartment gave her way too much time to think and along with projects she had to unravel why Count Olaf was back in her dreams.

"Too curious, something about the orbit. Do need to speak with Miss Seven of Nine again" making a note as she worked.

Lee was walking outside, getting a feel for the area. It was dark, but he didn't mind. Looking out at space made him feel almost at home. The star alignment was completely different here. He wasn't sure he could even find a point of similarity from back on Caprica. Or even on Kobol. Or either of the Earths.

He entered the park and found a really nice spot to view the stars from. It was nice just looking at them for a change. Just being calm for a moment or two. He needed to get a job. Just as he was finding a perfect place to get a view, he saw a young girl with a telescope. "Wow, that's...impressive," he said, smiling. He wondered if she made it all by herself.

	"Thank you" came Violet's accented voice as she worked. "Built it myself, a bit tricky since parts are a bit hard to come by but beyond a few minor problems its working like a dream" as she made some notes in her notebook. "There has been talk of a second moon so perfect excuse to test out the scope" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Two moons?" Lee asked. "Interesting. You made it all by yourself? How old are you? You have to be pretty frakkin' brilliant to do that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I am 18" Violet cracked a smile as she worked. "As for the two moons it has been an ongoing discussion over the last few days" as she passed over her notebook with the notes. "Science sort?" she asked and added,"I would be Violet Baudelaire" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"So a rumored second moon," Lee smiled. He took the notebook, looking at it, with most of it going over his head. "Sometimes. I'm quick enough to understand things, but I'm a viper pilot. I leave working out coordinates to the physicists. I'm good at strategy and legalese, though," he laughed. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Baudelaire. I'm Lee Adama." He held out a hand.

	"Likewise" Violet had to smile for a change. "But its like I can finally feel somewhat useful again, more of an inventor myself" she confessed. Part of her was always scared people would only see her as just a smart kid as she offered her own hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're an inventor!" Lee said, slightly surprised, but impressed nonetheless. Inventors were an entirely different sort of people. Brilliant, sometimes eccentric, occasionally bizarre, but usually very interesting. "It's nice to know who you are so young in life." Lee shook her hand with a smile.

	"I'm hooked on it!" Violet had to smile. She passed over the notebook of ideas,"I should confess most are either in progress or in planning but after falling into some parts it was like something in me took over" she explained. "as for you since you speak of strategy I am thinking miltary of some sort?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lee paged through it. Some of the things he didn't recognize. Some were commonplace back on Caprica. And some, some were just completely brilliant and he wondered why no one had thought of them before. "I was. For a good portion of my life. I grew up into it. My dad was a commander of a ship for a long time. Admiral of the fleet after that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Klaus explained all this once but I am curious, is an admiral like a chief officer?" Violet asked. She never passed up a chance to learn something new after all. "As for me this place put school on hold but I am looking into classes at the college". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Sort of. An admiral is basically the person in charge of all the ships in the entire fleet. Which, for us, was the rest of the human race. It's the military equivalent of president, I suppose. He's who everyone answers to. The top of the command chain," Lee explained. The ins and outs of military life were as commonplace to him as anything, having grown up with his father in it already. "Who is Klaus?" He nodded. "This place seems to put a lot of life on hold."

	Violet nodded as Lee spoke, piecing things Klaus had told her about via his books. "Klaus is my younger brother and he loves books the way I love science" thinking of her younger brother. "He had been reading one on the Royal Air Force once and was explaining things to me as he went. As for school I was due to start classes at Oxford in the fall, science major".

"Ah." Lee was quiet for a moment. "My younger brother had a thing for books, too." It was true, Zak couldn't get enough of them. Lee shook his younger brother from his thoughts. He'd been there an awful lot lately. "The Royal Air Force? I think that would be as similar to Colonial Fleet as you can get on some worlds. Oxford. That's a university?" Lee was pitifully under-informed about all things Earth-related.

	"I believe so not knowing about your time period of course" Violet nodded. "And Oxford is a univeristy in my native England as well" she added. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm not sure what time period I'm from compared to Earth, if that's where you're from. Or if it's the same dimension at all. I could tell you in Caprican years, but that's unlikely to be helpful to anyone here." Lee nodded in return. "Well I'm not sure how good the schools are here, but it might be nice to keep up with studies for when you do get back." When, not if.

	"Could you tell me a bit more?" Violet asked and explained,"Maybe with both of us we can figure out an equal to my time". "But I decided I could not put my life on hold for much longer without going crazy so school made perfect sense". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sure. Where would you like me to start? The only thing I know about Earth is that we landed on it before I got here. And it was wildly uncultured. No technology, indigenous people without a real language or culture. Lots of wildlife." Lee smiled, wryly. "I can only imagine. I've only been here a short while and already I found myself a job. Stagnating isn't in my nature. (Reply to this) (Parent)
