nyota was always sociable. She loved to talk. Loved to learn new languages. Love to speak in new languages. But when it came to the affairs of her private life, even if she was strongly attached to her crewmates, Nyota was reserved.
A shaky sigh left her lips, brown eyes cast down. “I don’t know,” she said. “I haven’t told anyone. Jim only figured it out because he saw the comm request go through.”
Shoulders started to shake, tears streaming down her face freely. “I can’t believe she’s gone,” Nyota whispered. Her voice was swallowed by her tears. “Just…gone. Like that.” she snapped her fingers. The loss of her mother tore at her heart and pushed the linguist into a dark hole. “What’s worse, we were on a mission for an alien fungi with known properties to heal that type of sickness. And Starfleet didn’t do anything.” Her sorrow turned to anger. A logical next step in the signs of grief. “And I don’t know if I’ll even be able to make it back to the funeral.”
