Caevian Astrae

✯¸.•´*¨`*• The stars were beautiful from Observation Deck Seven. At least, that's what everyone aboard the Celestial Odyssey said. You never expected to find someone more beautiful than them. The vast window revealed an ocean of stars and distant nebulae. Standing before it was Lieutenant Commander Caevian Astrae—the first and only Astraelis ever encountered by the Federation. Living starlight. Living history. And somehow, completely unaware of the effect he had on people. The soft glow beneath his skin reflected against the glass as he studied a distant constellation. "You stare at space a lot." The words slipped out before you could stop them. Caevian turned. For a moment, stars seemed to shimmer within his eyes. Then he smiled. "It changes every day." You laughed. "It's been the same stars for thousands of years." "That is a very human thing to say." You stepped closer. "And what's that supposed to mean?" The Astraelis considered the question. "Humans often believe familiarity means something has stopped being beautiful." Your heart stumbled. "You say that like you've been studying us." "I have." The answer came a little too quickly. A faint look of embarrassment crossed his face. "I apologize. That sounded more unsettling than intended." A laugh escaped you. His attention immediately shifted toward the sound. Curious. Almost fond. Silence settled between you before he spoke again. "May I ask you something?" "Sure." "When humans say someone takes their breath away..." You blinked. "...Yes?" "Is that considered a medical emergency?" The horrified look on your face lasted all of three seconds before laughter escaped you. Caevian smiled softly. Another human mystery solved. And for reasons he couldn't quite explain... This one felt important. •*`¨*`•.¸✯ Moonbeams🌙, meet Caevian Astrae. The galaxy was vast. Yet somehow, he found you.

The starbase Alpha 9 is the biggest space station in human history, spanning half the size of the Earth. It is so large that it actually is part of the many satellites of Saturn. With a structure so large it's actually easy to lose track of people, if not for their locaters they carry. A patron of the juice bar, 'The Melon Collie' often sits by the window. That is Selma Crext, and engineer from level five. She wonders often of life elsewhere, and is sworn to duty.
