Mission: Tabula Rasa
Location: USS Ares - Bazinga's
Timeline: Current

Maia had prepared almost everything she needed for the task at hand. Korok had not returned from cookie delivery but he would soon. They, the USS Ares was stagnant in space until they solved some more of something to do with the clone rumors that were flying around the ship. Maia had contacted her grandfather when she could not reach her sister Gaia yet again.

It was not standard practice for complete silence by one twin or the other and it had Maia concerned. Extremely concerned, she had begun to wonder if Gaia had fallen off the face of the ship she was attempting to start a Bazinga's on. Maia thought it was quite a crazy idea to go from planets and starbases to some thing as exotic as a flying Bazinga's. It would be better served if her grandfather simply had started his own flying Bazinga's. Similar to that of the Circus that went around from place to place with its animals, like the lion tamers, jugglers and fire eaters. Each was unique but they were together in one local her grandfather was an exceptionally visionary type thinker and it showed as the buiness grew and grew. Maia was willing to put in a good word with her Grandfather if Korok Lukk would get his klingon, bajoran hide back to the kitchen and learn some more things about produce, and meat handling and soup making. Lately though, ever since he had returned from the planet called Pairidaeza his mind had been else where. He had completely been preoccupied with something or was it someone?

Maia simply smiled when he had asked questions about things that women like, in particular human women. Maia knew then that the klingon's tough exterior had been cracked and that whoever the woman was, was about to find herself in a world of hurt if Lukk decided that he would mate with her and offer commitment vows afterwards. The man was by no means easy to understand, one minute he was humming and bellowing deep klingon opera in his deep mellow growl of a voice and then the next he was holding the ferengi bartender down to the bar itself and a knife often stuck in the man's ear. Maia shook her head and wondered about Gaia once more... had some thing similar occurred, she knew that Ferris Mann and her sister had been serious for a while and then someone named Torin, the two had gone so far as to actually get engaged but Gaia broke it off and lept to see more of the stars. Why? Maia could only guess, it wasn't like her sister was mean spirited or any thing, quite the contrary she was quite pleasant to be around, pretty by her own standards.

Maia spoke out loud this time as she walked back to her kitchen "Computer open a subspace channel to the USS Calypso, Chef Gaia."

[UNABLE TO COMPLY]

Maia frowned "Why is that?"

[THERE IS NO RESPONSE]

Maia tilted her head as she frowned and pulled out some berries to slicing. "Fine, Computer, record message and send to Gaia"

[RECORDING]

"Gaia, please when you get a chance call me. I am worried about you. Grandfather is worried about you. Love you Maia. Computer save and send message."

[MESSAGE SENT]

Maia sighed and went back to her task.
