“Is there anything else I need to worry about while I am at the helm?” Piripi asked.


Temas looked at her, trying to be supportive.  Luma was a lot to take in.  Her reason for being a ship’s secret was on several layers.  First, and foremost, was so that some eager beaver may want to “study” her or use her as a weapon.  That had already happened to her before.  Second only to that was the true lack of understanding of Luma’s nature.


He smiled and replied, “I’m not much of a pilot, so I have no idea the complexities of the things that one needs to worry about flying the Illuminar.  However,Luma is not someone that you should be worried about.  In fact, Luma would, most likely, want to be your friend.  In general she adores the conn officers who fly her “skin.”  She’s quite aware that you are taking care of her.  So, please don’t think that this is something you need to concern yourself with.  She is, however, someone for you to be aware of.”


He leaned forward, “Think of it this way; I’m aware that many people consider their ships to be living entities.  That’s why they give them names.  In this case, it’s almost true.  The Illuminar has a living soul.  Luma.”


The Lenai’s image brightened as he spoke of her.  “How often, Ensign Piripi, do you concern yourself with your own soul, or that of someone else?  That’s how often you should be concerned with Luma.  However, if you ever want to talk to her about the condition of the ship, or ideas that may seem… out of the ordinary… you can contact her over the comm lines.  Unless you’re telepathic.”
