Hello, Data! (Chapter 1)
So, my name is Helena Hudson. I'm 26 years old. I am a scientist, computer scientist and philosofer. Yeah-yeah, as strange as it sounds but it is quite true. All because of my unique abilities for mathematics, cybernetics, phylosophy, quantum mechanics and so on. Well, science is my passion.
Do you think i am boring? Not at all! I can think fast, memorize many things at once. So I have plenty of free time for the other side of me: archeology and extreme sports. By the way about extreme: I love speed in any forms and with any type of transport. Shuttle, Byke, skate, car… Whatever. I can handle and drive anything. Also I respect parkour because it helps me to keep body and muscles in perfect shape.
Because of my math abilities I finished Starfleet Academy in extremely short time at age of 21. This period of my life was remarcable. I met with my mentor and one of my best friends: professor of computer science mr. Thomas Artwood. I don't know how but when we talked we can understand each other almost at a glance. Thomas became my scientific director and we tried to develop the cutting edge idea and the new science section at the same time. We called it «Theory of chaos». The main idea is that how comples systems are born and developing from chaos to the perfect harmony in mathematical terms. We developed a universal mathematical theory. It can be used in application to many sections of human activity.
I choosed the process of forming galaxies stars and planets as direction of my practical research. So, as I am ambitious, I asked for an appointment to the Enterprise, to the best starship. I am lucky bitch, really. :) You guessed it I got it. And my position was «Research Team Leader» and given the rank of lieutenant.
I came to the base #15 And soon I was teleported to the Enterprise. I was met by captain Jean-Luc Picard, councelor Deanna Troy and unique man or rather to say andoid lt. commander Data.
Of cource I've heard about these almoust legendary people before. About captain, Will Riker, Georgy LaForge, Beverly Crasher and others. But I was intrigued to meet him, the man and the mashine at the same time… Data.
«Mrs Helena Hudson, welcome aboard. I'm Captain Jean-Luc Picard.»
«Hello. My pleasure.» We shook hands to each other.
«And this is Councelor Deanna Troy.»
«Hello. Nice to meet you.»
«And this is Lieutenant Commander Data».
«Hello» Data said. «Welcome aboard». This low kind voice. My eyes met his. I was trembling inside. I read so many books about this man. And every time I was wondering how unique and interesting he was.
«Hello, mr Data» I answered. «I really glad to see you».
«I also glad to see you. I've heard a lot about you, mrs Hudson. I think, we will have I lot of things to talk about.» he smiled at me.
«So, mr Data, can you show to mrs Hudson her quarter, please»
«Sure captain.»
«See you later, mrs Helena, goodbye»
«Goodbye captain, councelor». I said
Captain and councelor left the teleport room.
«Please, follow me» Data said
And we leave the teleport room too. «Which deck is my quater on?» I asked
«Deck 3 quater 12». «Ok»
We came to the turbolift. Doors opened and we entered. «Deck 3»
«So, you work here is about verification the newest developed theory. Right?» Data asked me.
«You are corect, mr Data. Are you interested in things like this?»
«Actually yes. I was thrilled by your recent articles» Data said.
«Do you read it? I am surprised» i said.
«Me too» he smiled. «Your ideas very unusual and unite several different areas».
The elevator stopped and we went out.
«I wish to understand your theory better and help with it.» Data said. I was shoked i little bit.
«It would be great! And really helpful. But I think, you have a lot of works and duties. Would it be convenient for you?» I said.
«Mrs Helen, believe me, I have a lot of free time too», he smiled. «I am an android and do not need to sleep and rest. Sometimes I become bored. But you research is really intrigued me.»
«Sounds quite logically. Mr Data, you are welcome! I appreshiate your help.» I smiled at him shily.
«And no more mr please. Call me just Data. Ok?»
«Sure Data. And no more mrs».
«Ok», Data half-smiled. «Here is your quater.» He opened the door.
«Here is the replicator of food. Living room, bed room, bathroom. On deck 10 we have our little cafe. Also we have some holodecks. And on this screen you can see the scheme of all ship with help».
«Yes Data, thank you. I know something about this ship. When I need to start my work?»
«Well, now is 3:00 pm. Today there is no necessity. You can start at 9:00 am tomorrow. You know your workplace at the bridge, don't you?»
«Now I know».
Data continued: «Workday finishes at 6 pm. Sometimes we have night shift. But I will tell you about it later. The workday will end soon. I will return to you, tell more about ship and introduce to some other members of crew, ok?»
«Excelletn idea! Lets do so» I replied. «I am waiting for you, commander.»
«Just Data», he smiled and exited my quater. Doors closed.
«Bye Data» I whispered.
I repack my luggage: just a few clothes and several personal items, photos and souveniers. I looked around the quater. When you entered you found yourself in the hall. There is the bedroom on the right hand and bathroom on the left hand. Layout is very comfortable. This is so wonderfull, that I have my personal bathroom. I will take a shower with great pleasure :)
