Hey, as long as you got the gist of the place? That's all that matters to me. Hell, I stay in Med Bay most of the time myself.
And good. I've run into a few people that have. Sort of makes it hard to make a good first impression.
[But, to be honest? Doc Yewll doesn't give half a Hellbug's ass about first impressions. Either people like her or they don't. It's all the same to her as long as she can do her job.]
I'm starting to, at the very least. [it was a work in progress, anyway.] Oh, do you work there?
Somehow that doesn't surprise me. People always tend to fear what they don't understand or see as different. [She just spent the last several years in a war filled with so much hate. But just because it happened didn't mean it was right.] I'm sorry you've had to encounter small-minded people here.
[There really was no escape from them, was there? While she was still trying to wrap her mind around aliens, she saw no reason to think of them as anything different. She had no reason to. They were trapped in this mess all the same as anyone from Earth.]
Hey, no worries here. There are plenty of bigots in the Votan races, too. A girl grows a thick skin after a while, and it's easier when you can grow that thick skin back pretty quick.
[The bigots she'd met onboard were few and far between, and mostly it just annoyed her.]
Yes, I agree. [She certainly knows a thing or two about needing thick skin. Maybe it wasn't bigots as Meh was speaking of, but she spent far too much time around sexist men that refused to let her skills and talents see the light of day.] Still, it's a shame people refuse to be half-way decent, even surrounded by all of space and time.
I found that when presented with the vast expanse of space and time people just like to air everything out. Which might be a little cynical but they didn't hire me for my charming personality.
And by hire I mean yank me off the face of the planet but you know. "Hire".
I try to see the best in people. But I suppose everyone reacts to something like this differently. [It would be impossible to predict how everyone reacted in a situation like this, but she still hated to think from all the times and places people were from, many were still full of hatred and spite.]
Luckily there haven't been too many. We got a good mix of human and non-human here, and even then some people that are human come in different types of human.
That is fortunate. If everyone keeps an open mind, I'm sure we can all learn a lot from those around us here.
[That was her intention, anyway. There was so much about this place that was nothing like her home. Aliens, special humans, technology, space-- she wanted to take in as much as she could while she had the chance.]
