"Oh that's a long list of questions to answer all at once." She replied
with a slight smile. Taking a sip of her drink, she sighed, "You can see
I'm a Trill. The ultimate goal would be to be joined. I doubt that will
happen now but one can dream."

"Well without goals and dreams, what's the point of living?" he said with a
hearty chuckle.


"In my career.. I suppose I am happy for the moment doing what I do. Like
anyone  I would like to get a promotion or just to be recognised sometimes."


Santiago just nodded.

"What about you? You ask me these questions,  tell me what you want from
life, from work.."

"To live. To live life to the fullest is the greatest adventure of all. To
be, to be me, authentically me in everything I do. To live life, that is
what I want from everything, to truly experience life at its fullest, to be
open to every experience it might throw my way, even if it is not what I
planned for myself. That is what I want. To be open to whatever, to live
for whomever, to be me. Life, life is an awfully big adventure."

"Of course, I think you are holding back in your answer. You skimmed the
surface. Gave the expected answer. But have you ever asked yourself the
question, what truly makes me tick?" Santiago stood up. "I"ll leave you
alone with that one. Consider it something to think about in the dullness
of the mundane. Who is Rylee Page? Why am I here? What do I truly want?
Everyone wants a promotion or to be recognized. But what makes you stand
out from the rest of the ops personnel? Think about that the next time you
get lost in the jeffries tubes, it will make things go faster, trust me."
Santiago then nodded and made his way out the door clutching a small little
notebook where the charismatic spaniard wrote, by hand, his thoughts, his
dreams, and his appreciation for life.
