{Fleet only cares that their ships come and go on time and cargo is where it is supposed to be. They do not 'see' the sticking doors, or dimming light panels and failing conduits until it stops commerce.}
 
The human was amazed that the Horta continued to serve in the fleet if he was so unahappy with everything.  She did not want to pick a fight with him so she decided to change the subject.  "Do you have a mate or any other close family?"
 
{If One could laugh One would, I am barely a child of 87 years, and will not mate till it close to time for our species to die, but then again, our biology/ecology has changed so I may live longer than the usual 1000 or so. Our species dies off every 1000 years to allow the planet to recover for 1000, while our eggs are watched over by a Great Mother, hatched to watch over the eggs of our people. But The Kirk may have changed all that.}
 
"Does that mean that you do not commit to close individual relationships?"  Celine thought that would have been a very lonely existence.
