Holding grudges for something so small would serve no one and Alanah knew that in the long trip ahead, it would really serve no positive purpose. Being so attuned to other people’s thoughts and feelings, Alanah knew how something as small as what had happened now could lead to worse if one let it fester. She wouldn’t. <br/><br/>“This plant qualifies as a cactus, though. It should be able to go much much longer without water.” She added, talking to herself and sighed. This was a puzzle to be solved and she would see to it before she ran out of samples.  “I didn’t authorize any modifications here. I liked the rain the way it was set, but I suppose not everyone appreciate a cold shower no matter how light. Please have it resume whenever the occupants leave, Lieutenant. Thank you.” Alanah answered and she turned her head toward footsteps to see a young man heading toward them without looking.<br/><br/>She was about to simply leave with her samples when she heard his question seconds before he asked it, along with the feelings that his inability to grow thyme to his satisfaction. “I’ll let you deal with the engineering issue first, Lieutenant Commander, then I’ll show you where you can try to grow thyme here, I think I can find you a small bed of gritty soil which would fit perfectly.” Alanah said and gave him a polite smile.<br/></div><br/>
