ON:

"Computer record log," Allyndra sat in her darkened office. The time which most called the dead of night though on a star ship that little meaning. She wanted to get this down while it was still fresh in her mind.

[Recording]

"I used the holodeck before, and yes with my home, but never before have I ever allowed to let the programme run Gerrin. I needed to consult on something that required an artists view point and thus decided to let it run him.

It was not as bad as I thought until the very end. Then he, it, no he said something to me and I must get it down before I loose the words.


M'ai mak'oi Puloa o'laha"

Allyndra recited the poem he had given her and her mind translated

May the blessing of the Twins be on you,
Giving light without and light within.
May the blessed light of the Twins shine upon you
And warm your hearts
So that all are always welcome.
May thier light shine out from your eyes
So that people may come to you
As a wanderer takes shelter from a storm.
May the blessing of rain and wind be upon you,
Soft and sweet;
May it fall upon your spirit
So that in it all good things may grow.
May the blessing of the earth be upon you,
So that you may ever know how much I grieve
And may the blessing of the stars be upon you
So that you may know that I love you always
In your sleeping and in your waking.
It is you that I am dreaming.

...moh'uanai."

Allyndra took a long pause tears stinging at her eyes at the words.
