She giggled at the AI for a moment before nodding her head. "Then I have a pet name for you. It is Maru-chan." At the AI's almost quizzical look, she laughed. "In the history of my people, the suffix 'maru' was often applied to ships by their sailors to represent something, or in this case, someone beloved." she said.

Indeed she did not expect to be given a name or at least not so soon into the voyage. "Thank you Lieutenant Hikari Makoto, I shall register Maru-chan as a secondary name. Her face was filled with emotion, she did not know what to do next.

She smiled at the AI before heading back into the other room to sit beside Andrew again.

The Ensign began to stir again, a dream. He laid upon a field of nothing, his surroundings dark, a void. He felt nothing but at the same time felt fear. He could not see even his own body or feel his arms and legs. Suddenly sound, voices could be heard. They were distant. A female voice, low and muffled. "Doctor his body is rejecting the implant, we're losing him!" Another voice a male one"Cortical stimulator." it sounded familiar to the Ensign. Pain, a sense of being torn apart could be felt within his mind it was as if he was being ripped apart atom by atom. More voices but he could not make them out. "Figs..."
Then suddenly the darkness, the void became light. The space around him began to glow a strong white light, his eyes covered as they tried to adapt. He looked around this new environment only to find nothing. White in all directions. "Figs..." Surprised Andrew turned around to find Ms. Rosenstein. Her appearance was different, she looked younger and more youthful but also discontent. Andrew tried to speak but was unable to. "I'm sorry..." Her face sadden as she said those words. Her eyes watered. Her checks a river of tears.
"Mary!" He woke up in cold sweat. His head spinning and his orientation mixed. He looked around slowly trying to regain his position.

She held his hand after he bolted up and began to re-orient his position, feeling sorry for him. "You alright, Andrew-kun?" she asked.

He felt a hand upon his and turned to see Hikari siting beside him. He began to recall the events before and realized he must have fallen asleep, "Yes, I think so..." His face showed confusion his dream was so real. "It was a dream a bad one. I don't recall even being in an accident but apparently I was being operated on. I recall voices a nurse perhaps shouting I was dieing. The next thing I knew I saw Dr. Rosenstein in a white room crying." This part really got to him as his free hand went to his forehead. "She said 'I'm sorry' to me." He shook his head in disbelief. "Why would she be sorry? I was the one who let her down..."

"I don't know." she said simply, and continued to hold his hand, "It'll be okay."

He noticed the look of concern upon Makoto, it seems she is truly worried and he was the source. He clasped her hand with both of his and said, "Thank you... for everything." Enterprise chipped in indicating that his shift on the bridge was about to begin. He got up tiding up his uniform before giving a kiss upon Hikari's forehead. "I gotta go. See you later."

She smiled as he kissed her on the forehead, Her interaction with him was doing wonders for the man, she thought, and nodded as she watched him leave.
Then she went and ate dinner.
