Nalie nods and turns to walk back to her console. It's clear from her actions that she considers the meeting over, and she's clearly focused on preparing to inspect the impulse reactors.

Cathy turns and quietly exits, grabbing Desiree'a hand once the door shuts behind them.

Desiree smiles to Cathy while she mentally prepares for a turn in the EVA suits and zero G work.

"Is there something wrong? When she mentioned the suits..."

"Do not worry dear, I simply dislike them and feel very uncomfortable with them, along with zero-G"

Cathy nods as they walk.
"I can handle that for you if you want."

"That is very sweet of you to offer dear, But I have been working a year to not let what occurred haunt me. and if I cant do it at the calm and peace of a lovely star base, how can I possibly be expected to act rationally if forced to do so in an emergency. It is good training, and I know you will be there for me!"

Cathy flashes a smile to her.
"If you want to talk about what happened sometime...I am not hard to find."

"It is really not a that amazing story to tell sweetie. When the order to abandon the ship was given we where a few who volunteered to stay behind as long as possible, Trying make sure the evacuation went on as nice as it could and put up as much resistance as possible to enable the evacuation and buy some time for reinforcements and such things. When the ship was a minute from its end we evacuated in EVA suits, I was barely conscious and all things with not so lovely the burns and injuries I told you about. So I spent about 24 hours just floating around and making daemons in my mind and feeling the daemons of the minds of the others out there as we waited and hoped we would be found as we drifted away from each other"
The betazoid shows a fain smile and squeezes Cathy's hand
"I have avoided EVA suits since that, when not part of the counseling and recovery treatment, but that was in holosuits." She giggles faintly and continues walking.

Cathy frowns as she describes the painful memory. She squeezes her hand back and then continues.
"Did everyone make it out in time?"

"Some died on the bridge as it became an inferno, Other died slowly in their suits with no popper medical care being possible out there, It was not beautiful, I remember their dying thoughts and final prayers"
Desiree sighs a little and tries to not think back
"What matters is that what the captain did saved so many lovely lives, 90% of the wonderful beings on that ship got of with non or very minor injuries"

Cathy stops their walk, giving Desiree a firm hug.
"That sounds like a horrific experience...but you should always remember the lives you saved that day."

Desiree hugs Cathy
"I did not save many lives sweetie, at least not that day. by the time the true heroics of that day started, I was laying on the ground of the bridge, screaming in insane pain as I was covered in plasma from my former tactical console that had exploded on me. Having some other true heroes saving my life"

Cathy shakes her head.
"You volunteered to stay behind...you are a hero."

"That is so sweet of you dear. There was many heroes that day, But I was not one of them. Saying I was is an insult to the real paragons of star fleet that shined so bright that day. I did what I did be course it was necessary, just like there had to be someone knowing how to pilot the ship, there had to be a tactical officer, as the chief of that department it was just my duty. I actually failed at that, since my console exploded on me before I could be useful."
