As Lena wondered through one hall to the next, she couldn't help herself from wishing that she had asked for some kind of map, or at the very least memorized more than the direct route to the Herbology cargo hold; because she was getting no where fast, or more specifically she was getting somewhere unknown fast.<br/><br/>Her mind replayed the last hour or two over in her head; images of what she had seen and heard sliding through her mind crisp and clear.  She had made an utter fool of herself coming to the conclusion that the Admiral had some unsavory plans for her vessel, and in front of a man no less.  She hoped that the Captain would keep her narcissistic imaginings to himself, but if he where like most people he would have most likely already told someone.  If the latest events where a foreshadowing of her new life on this planet...well than she was screwed.<br/><br/>Taking a left she walked down yet another empty corridor until she came to a stop in front of the entrance to what seemed like the mess hall.  Smiling inside at being able to guide herself blindly to her destination, the sliding doors to the room click and than slide smoothly open.  When she entered the mess hall she noticed that there weren't a lot of people there; but she put that down to everyone preparing to land.  Striding over to conveyor style food dispenser she quickly chooses a gelatin mound of mint and current paste flavored soy, sprouts, and a small cap sized container of a reddish green colored protein elixir.  her food is deposited by machine onto a small tray, and when it's done she heads over to one of the numerous empty tables.<br/><br/>She ate slowly, the texture of the food oddly pleasant on her tongue.  Soon they would be planet side, and than it would all begin. The toiling, the work, the living on her own, she was ecstatic about it all.  She knew it would be hard, but she had always known that, and had spent many months contemplating it.  In the end the only conclusion that she had come to was that her freedom was worth all the trouble.  She just hoped that she wouldn't live to regret her choices.
