[ day 206 ] action :: open
[It’s very late at night in the prison, if anyone is still awake or out and about. Were anyone to pass through Sector 0 they might find an older gentleman in his Starfleet uniform sitting on a bench in the recreation area. He’s quiet and still, somewhat unassuming. He might even be mistaken for peaceful from far away. But were anyone to come closer, they’d find that he has somewhat of a perplexed look on his face, troubled or thoughtful perhaps. And his gaze is turned up to the top of the dome. Obviously he’s not as peaceful as it might initially seem.]

	I see. [Her words are more than conversational platitude, reflecting a deep, if young, understanding.] It is comforting to know such possibilities are in the future of my world, perhaps. Do Coordinators exist in your universe? Genetically altered humans, like myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh there are always possibilities. All possibilities need are courageous people to carry them out, to do the right thing even against all odds. [As he had witnessed many times over when the Enterprise and its crew had worked itself out of a seemingly impossible situation. Jean-Luc had never been one to lie down and let others dictate the world for him. Rather, he preferred to barrel ahead and face things head on and in charge.

He considers her question for a moment.] Perhaps we know them under s different name. There are numerous humanoid species we've encountered which carry the basic look of a human with only minor differences to differentiate between them. There are even some humanoids who look very much like humans who have abilities beyond that which we are capable of. Is this what you mean? Any altered genetics are a natural progression rather than forced.

[She shakes her head slightly.] Coordinators are intentionally created, at least the first generation was. My father's genes were specifically selected at the time of conception, which occurred in a laboratory. My birth was more what many would consider to be typical human procreation, but as my parents were both Coordinators, my genes are also enhanced. We are designed to have enhanced immunity, stamina, intelligence, strength and the like. Some say this gives us more potential, but I find myself unable to agree. A person's drive and effort matters more than their genes.

I'm afraid many people in my world saw the birth of Coordinators as a very unnatural thing, and many Coordinators in turn looked down on natural humans. It was a very sad time, one we have yet to truly progress past. Though we are trying, it is a tentative accord we have reached.

[Jean-Luc listens with interest, taking in all of this information about her world, and somewhat saddened by it. And yet, in spite of that sadness, there was also a certain amount of hope. There is always hope. He is once again reminded of the numerous times they had been outmanned and outgunned in a tense situation, and yet somehow come out of it alive. Even Lieutenant Barclay was an example of someone doing great things in spite of himself.] Yes, I would say that heart has quite a bit to do with potential, more so than anything else.

[He nods.] So this is the war, you speak of. Between Coordinators and humanity. I'm afraid such prejudices always exist no matter how we try to grow and evolve past them.

Mm, unfortunately. We can only hope that people will come to see that our differences are not so great. [But that would take time, and time isn't something she has to give so long as she's here.]

It is for that cause that I wish to return home. As the Chairmen of the colonies, my place is there. But I also wish for this place to be as much as home as it can be, so long as we must remain.

Oh, yes it is a sound decision to make the best of whatever situation one finds oneself in. And at times, it can be easier said than done. I am never adverse to trying though. Such is preferable to apathy in any case.

[He decides that he likes Lacus thus far. She has an intellect and distinguished demeanor about her that he can relate to.] My colleague had given me the idea to surround myself with familiar things. I'm afraid that nothing can rectify the absence of stars though.

	Apathy is our greatest enemy in a place like this. Once they strip us of who we are, there would be little point in returning to our timelines. [They wouldn't be the same people anymore.] What familiar things have you found, so far? (Reply to this) (Parent)
