He smiled,"Ivan Remisus. Nice to meet you Chase." He waited to see what response Chase would give to Skye's question.

"See any place to sit? I would love to meet some of our fellow Colonists before I have to put them back together. It helps me remember what part goes where." She gve him a slightly mischivous, quirk of a smile to indicate she was joking. He laughed as he saw two seats and grabbed them, Nodding to those around at the adjacent tables. "You have a most infectious sense of humor, Dr, I must say." He put his tray down and remained staning until she sat. "To tell you the truth, Dr, I wasn't sure if this food was heavy or not. These are things I've never tried. I had read about haperat but never actually had any. I'm afraid you'd find my Homeworld's philosophy on food to be rather odd". |

I'm afraid you'd find my Homeworld's philosophy on food to be rather odd". "Oh sit down... " She chuckled, noting that he remained standing until she sat. "I am the Colony's Doctor, not it's Governor." Hitomi waited until he sat before she would even think of touching her food, no matter how decidedly empty her stomach felt at the moment. "You keep making references to your Homeworld, but other than the computer that kept everybody in check, I know nothing about it. As I do not see a Counselor on this trip, it is my secondary duty to understand those around me." Again, she allowed an amused smile to creep past her lips before a chunk of tomato followed. "So 'fess up, Besides, I hate eating in silence." |

"Thank you. Thats what they tell me. I was named for my great grandfather Chase. My mother had our family history traced and fell in love with the name. Let me tell you, growing up in NYC with the name Chase lead to more then one teasing encounter and a bit more then that."
He sat down. "Judging from your accent your from Scotland. Always wanted to visit there but never got the chance." [/b] he smiled taking a sip of beer.

He smiled at the Doctor's inquisitiveness as he nibbled on the sausage. He found it wasn't bad.
"All right, Dr." He grinned" It appears my back is against the proverbial wall. Or, perhaps I wanted to talk about things to someone."
He sniffed the Hasperat, then took a bite, following it with some water. This was indeed very picante, although he had been 'warned' that this was not as hot as real thing.
"Yes, we had our wars fought with computers. They made simulated attacks and then calculated the casualties in the areas. People reported to disintegration chambers to die in a war we never fought against an enemy we never saw or talked to."
He took a drink of water.
" It's not like that today, of course. But we are still a heavily regulated people. A very orderly and 'anal retentive' society. Things are still laid out for us and we are to do what is expected."
"What we eat, where we have to go, who we have to meet, and yes, who we're supposed to marry is still laid out for us."
As for Food, Food is prepared out of sight, all with machines. We do not touch food at any time with our hands, nor do we prepare it. It is carefully processed and served. We do not even discuss it's contents."
He picked up the Hasperat
"So you see, Dr, this simple thing that you barley think about doing, picking up a piece of food and eating it, is purely mundane for you. But for me..."
He took a bite, and then a drink
"I have just defied an entire society."

She finished her dessert while he was talking. "Yes, I'm from Scotland. And your right shes a grand country."
"I can see yer running and fighting the other boys, that would be a most unusual name in NY. And well children are the same all over. On Tryee Chase would be unusual as well. What will ya be doing on the colony?"

"So you see, Dr, this simple thing that you barley think about doing, picking up a piece of food and eating it, is purely mundane for you. But for me..." He took a bite, and then a drink "I have just defied an entire society." Hitomi had to grin at that, widely to show her amusement at the entire situation. That such a society could even exist was unthinkable.. and the inevitable question about what would happen if the computers shut down... "So what would happen if one day your planet woke up and the computers did not? Would they all die before the Federation could get there to feed and take care of them?" She shook her a head a bit before spearing a bit of tofu. "To think an entire civilization more dependant on computers than the Binars." |

He looked at the man as he explained himself and held in any reaction until he asked the question of what he would be doing on the colony. I chose to come here with my brother. We were weapons dealers before comming here, but now we are wanting to get back to our roots. Get back to the land and the animals we use to raise for our family. That is if Skey thinks them not a pest to the planet or is able to find a sutable subsitute so people survive.

"So what would happen if one day your planet woke up and the computers did not? Would they all die before the Federation could get there to feed and take care of them?" She shook her a head a bit before spearing a bit of tofu. "To think an entire civilization more dependent on computers than the Binars." He smiled musingly at the Doctor's question. "I'm afraid you may be closer to the truth than you know. A hundred years ago, people walked into chambers willingly to die. Why? Because the idea of any kind of disorder, or mess is totally repugnant to us. To them. The point of the war was that we could continue it, but let the computers tell us who was hit. We found a way to make a war without making a mess." He stopped to take a drink and finish the small dish of sausage. "You did say 'Fess up' So don't say I didn't warn you." He smiled. "I was getting to the point where I couldn't stand living like that. I'm surprised you haven't asked about the pre-arranged Marriages. Yes. we have them, and I was...betrothed. I didn't 'leave her at the alter' as the Earth expression goes. I backed out. That simply isn't done on Eminiar Seven" He took a breath and continued. he needed to talk about this. to get a completely objective opinion. "She was a very pretty woman. Smart. Well mannered. While I was visiting a Terran Friend on the nearby colony, I found one day he was engaged to be married. I watched the looks in their eyes and saw how special the two of them were to one another. I didn't have that feeling with Shama. I realized that I had a choice. A chance to have a life that I made, that I built.....Or a life that I would resign myself to." He stopped to breathe again. "I'm sorry Doctor." He began. "I suppose I needed to just spill all that for some reason. I appreciate your indulging me. I hope you don't think me a terrible person after hearing all this. You did say 'fess up'. That will teach yo be careful what you asked for." He smiled boyishly. |

She smiled, "I work for Artifacts too. I'll be doing the animal and fishery husbandry. This will be a challenge and all my decisions will impact, not only on the colony and its people, but the planet as well. But, I'm not only looking forward to this challenge but to be honest I need it as well. I think we all have to prove ourselves. Leave a mark on the universe that says I was here."

He follows suit, getting out of bed and dressing, feeling abit hungry himself and refreshed after sleeping a few hours
"Sounds like a plan to me, love"
He also thought he should talk to the Governor about how things will get started and if he could bring his "baby", his personal shuttle to Thales. He already asked his uncle to do it and he was sure he had started out already from Earth
He started to think about how he could get a transportation and shipping network started as he finished putting his shoes on
He walked over and put an arm around Sara's waist "Ready"?

He leaves his quarters with Sara, casually glancing down both ways of the corridor. Not seeing anyone, he felt relieved
He then walked with Sara to the lounge to get a bite to eat, arm in arm
