Yet T'chak didn't complain as he still remembered the Zentraedi Nutritional Supplements Meals that were numbered instead of "Flavored". The Alcohol Rations were like gold on board a Zentraedi Ship. He glanced over to both Maika, and Roj as they talked about micronization. The Petty Officer talking about how he maybe would like to be micronized full time later on to start a family. T'chaks thoughts mirrored Kycilias about the power of love and song, concepts foreign to the Zentraedi, and how it led to their defeat. "If that is your wish, then you must pursue it as you would your mission. Like a true Zentraedi." He stated to Roj simply, his voice even as he took the last dregs of his stew, and swallowed it down. Essentially wishing the  young Petty officer luck too, but in his own way.<br/><br/>With his stew gone, T'chak stood up with his empty bowl. "I'll take my leave now. I believe I can find my own way back to the living Quarters. Thank you, Petty Officer, for showing me this restaurant. I may patronize it in the future." He said before turning to Kycilia, and Maika. "Good day to you both.". With that, he carried his bowl up to the counter, and handed it back to Bethany whom looked at him in confusion, "Refill?" She asked, noticing his great size, and figuring he was still hungry. "No Ma'am. I wish to depart, but I need to first pay for my Meal." He explained. "oh! You didn't have to bring the bowl up, but thank you." Bethany chirped as she took the used bowl from T'chak.  "This way please to the register." Bethany stated before led T'chak to the register. Using his NUNS Stipend Card, Bethany swiped it and T'chak put a three credit tip on the charge. "Thank you. Come again." She stated as T'chak turned to leave. Not even saying good bye, or waving to the waitress. "Geez, talk about a cold shoulder."  she grumbled to the departing figure's back.<br/><br/>T'chak stepped out side the small restaurant, and started to make his way around the parameter of the park back towards the Temporary housing where his affects were. As always his steps were purposeful, and direct. Many of the Younger Zentraedi, and Meltrandi moving out of his way. The myriad of scars crisscrossing his exposed face putting many off, and wanting to give the large Zentran his space. Though as he walked, he would find his eyes glancing towards the greenry. The life support systems kept a constant breeze blowing through the entire complex and the plant life helped to keep the air fresh. When he was at the corridor that would lead back to the Command Center, and Temporary housing. T'chak would instead of making the turn towards the Housing, he turned into the park. The thump of his boots against the walk path instantly muffled the moment he stepped onto the grass.<br/><br/>T'chak stayed clear of the Miclone areas, and the areas that have the higher density of people. He chose a quiet, secluded area of the park where he found a shade spot underneath a very tall oak tree. Resting his back against the tree, his hand fished for the tiny object that he always keeps with him. A small music box. The very same one he listened too on the Transport up here from Earth. Turning it over, he ginger wound the spring with the tip of his index finger before opening the lid. Once more the mechanical sound just barely reached his ears as he watched the cylinder slowly spin against the stainless steel Comb as each individual bump on the cylinder plucked at a tooth on the comb. The box, its workings, and the song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QM-8hoQXY4) always able to entrance T'chak.
