Maeve wouldn't lie to herself. Morale was still a problem on the Vitae. Even after 5 years, people were still getting used to all that. It was undeniably, a very sudden and radical change. But Maeve liked to think that she was helping a bit at that too. Sure, she was only one person, but she was most certainly doing her part. The only thing that she wished it could change was the daily limitation of only one hour per person on the Eden. That place was undoubtedly, one of her favorite locations on all the ship since the first day in the Vitae. Every single day, Maeve went there to simply lay down under a tree. Maybe take a nap or simply feel the artificial breeze on her skin. Most of the staff that was responsible for guarding the Eden already knew Maeve, as she hardly spent an entire day without going to the Eden at least once.

[color=a187be]"See you tomorrow!"[/color] Maeve said to the man guarding the entrance to the Eden with a tranquil smile on her face.

As she walked away, she smiled to herself after seeing the guard smiling back at her. It was refreshing to see that even small actions, small things like talking to others like she did, could change their expressions, maybe even their day, for the better. Even as she walked through the Hub, it was good to see that at least some who knew her due to her music opened a smile after she waved back for them.

Talking about the Hub, it always surprised Maeve on how many people were there at all times of the day. Maybe it was because it was due to the nightclubs, bars, movie theaters & etc. or maybe it was because it resembled a 'real' city, like the ones back on Mars or Earth. Whatever the reason was, people were naturally drawn to that location. Maybe even more than the Eden.

But as much as Maeve would like to stop by one of the cafeterias and get some hot chocolate or buy some sweets, she knew she still had her duties as a doctor. Even though there weren't many people who needed surgery or any more 'serious' medical procedures, there were still many other things that Maeve needed to do other than consults. One of them was checking on certain patients who had more fragile health compared to others. One of those was Audrey Knight. Only a few years older than herself, Audrey was a brilliant roboticist and Ai scientist. Maeve didn't know much about those things, but judging by what other scientists said about her, she had a very promising future ahead of her.

Unfortunately, Audrey was born in a generation known as 'Generation Sick', victim of the airborne pollutants in the Conglomerate. Due to that, she had to use a respirator in order to breathe and had a very fragile health. To make things even more complicated, Audrey had a tendency to isolate herself and was not that good in socializing with others. That meant that Maeve had to most of the times, search for her to check on her health.

[color=a187be][i]"Maybe this time I can even persuade her to try going to the Eden to relax a little bit?"[/i][/color] Maeve thought to herself as she finally arrived on the corridor where Audrey's quarters were located.

[color=a187be]"Let's see... Audrey..."[/color] Maeve mumbled to herself, searching for Audrey's quarter.

In front of her door, Audrey would find a red haired woman, knocking on Audrey's door with some food and orange juice on her hands, presumably for Audrey.

[color=a187be]"Oh, also searching for Audrey?"[/color] Maeve asked to the red haired woman, surprised to see another person in front of Audrey's door.

[color=a187be]"She doesn't even get out to eat by herself, doesn't she? She really needs to take better care of her health..."[/color] Maeve said, shaking her head in disappointment.

"Go away, I'm dead!" Audrey's voice could be heard coming from inside.

[color=a187be]"If you keep acting like that, you soon will be... Well, first you will have an appointment with me and my scalpels..."[/color] Maeve replied, with a provocative tone.

[color=a187be]"Come on Audrey... You know you need to see me at least once a week... It's just a quick medical checkup. I promise it will be quick."[/color] Maeve said, trying to convince her to open the door.

[color=a187be]"You know... I even gave up on drinking some tasty hot chocolate on that cafeteria I like on the Hub just to come here check on you!"[/color] Maeve said with a discreet giggle as she waited for her answer, hoping she would at least open the door.

[color=a187be]"Maybe I should have brought some for her?"[/color] Maeve asked, looking to the red haired woman, inquisitively.

[color=a187be]"Oh, my name is Maeve by the way. Maeve Katz. I'm... well... I'm a lot of things... Surgeon, singer, medic... But I'm also in charge to check Audrey's health... If she lets me, that is..."[/color] Maeve said, with a sigh.

Audrey was a... complicated patient, but she was one of her patients nonetheless. Maeve hoped that one day Audrey would open herself to her a bit more. Isolating herself like that wasn't good neither for her body nor her mind...
