How to Heal a Heart

[Broken Wings]

Harlen smiled and looked at her as they talked about the Belive of Deux, and how Harlan could help her with her religious beliefs and give her the Religious Space that she Deserves. He already had a Corner of the Church in mind that would Currently serve no Real Purpose so it could be easily transformed into a place that would be designated to worship Deux. He was delighted that he had met Mac on this day and that she was such an Open and friendly woman. He would love to have Discussions in the future and to see what both of them could learn from each other.

Harlen: I can understand that it could feel weird to see me equally as someone who had dedicated their whole life to the Belives of Deux. If you want you can see me as your Spiritual companion. I will do whatever is in my Power to enable you to have the kind of Religious Service that you need. I would be grateful if you taught me those Prayers and the Liturgy, maybe I can even get a Delivery of Religious Books and Texts from Pygar before we leave tomorrow so I can read them over the next weeks and get a deeper understanding of Deux. I have so Read Every Religious Book of the Religions that is Represented in this Chapple. Maybe we can even have some of the things we need for the Corner of Deux shipped from the Colony as well. But perhaps we do not have enough time for this before we leave the System Tomorrow.

The old man was really dedicated to his work as the Religious Caretaker of the Healing Heart and he was especially Dedicated to making sure that every Religious Person on board had a place to practice their Religion. So Mac could be sure that he would do his best and if that would mean that he would take a Shuttle Down to Faith Haven Itself then he would do this. He would sip on his tea and even this little thing seemed to take some years off his back as he listened to her explanation about the Nomad Threat and the Effects that the Splited Staus of Humanity had about the Fight against the Big Evil. He himself considered the Nomads an Existential Threat and was sure that they would not hesitate to Destroy even a Hospital Ship.

Harlen: Yes the Nomads are an Evil that is pretty Clear. But I also have met people in the past who have Worshiped them as Gods. I have to admit that these People were not part of a Religion, as I see it they were part of Cults and Sects. And I also can tell you that they have no part in this Chapple. But I fear that it is human Nature that we are never Truly United. I mean even during the most dire times of Humanity on Old Earth itself they couldn't Unite Everyone behind the same cause. But I am an Optimistic Man and I hope that you will Prove me wrong and that one day Humanity will be Truly united and fight for the same goals. But until this Day Arives I try to offer a Place of Peace and tranquility, that can shield you from the Stress of Daily Modern Life.

He said with a soft smile as he finished his tea and then looked up a bit where he could see some Christian Iconography after she had Mentioned the Religion. She brought up some really Valid Points in the Discussion and she also gave him some new ways to see certain things. And as always when he would meet a new Religion he was somehow in a State of Hyped that made him excited to learn everything he could about the religion.

Harlen: Well you are right In a way this Chappel is a bit like the Temples During the Antique Times of Old Earth where they were Consecrated to more than one Good. But you are right, I should not hold you and Doctor Saito back any longer. Just know that I am here for you Day and Night if you have some Spiritual Company. My Cabin has Direct Access to the Chapple and there is a Buzzer. I am also serving a bit as a ship counselor for all the things that People don't want to Discuss with the Doctors first. But your Right i shouldnt hold you back any longer, i am sure that Doctor Saito haves still many things to show to you.

The old man smiled and would Give Isa a Hug like a father would at the end of a Visit. He would offer the same to Mac but left the final Decision about it to her. Harlan was a warm hearted and open man, and many on the ship have seen him as some sort of Inofficial Ship Grandpa in the past. He would smile as the two Woman left the Chapple.

Isa: okay then now that we have some Energy Back let's go and visit the Biodomes. I think a little Scene Change can Benefit us both now. And I am realy happy that you and Harlan get along so well. Also please make sure to Inform about Religious Holidays and other Important Religious Dates. We will try to Give you a Free Day then or incorporate them in another way into your Work and Study schedule.

She said with a smile and would lead Mac out of the Athrium for good this time. On the way to the Biodomes, they came across many people again that crowded the Hallways of the Healing Heart. And the Closer they came to the Biodomes the more People in Casual Clothes they could see. It looked like the Biodomes were a Recreational Space for the Citizens of the Healing Heart as much as they were for the People on Faith Haven. Some of them even seemed like they were in Beach Wear and had Electrical BBQ Grills and Coolers with them.



Isa smiled as they could already see natural Light at the end of the Hallway. they could also hear the Songs of Birds, the Laughter of People, and the screams of Playing Children. And then they would be standing inside of the Biodome. Mac Could See some of the Land was used to Grow Plants and Veggies such as Potatoes, Cucumber, and Salad. While in the Distance there was a Forest with many different Trees that would Invite the people to a nice walk. she could also see Birds Flying around and if she had a keen eye she could even see some animals that enjoyed their day in the shadow of the Trees. There was also a little artificial Pond where people could Swim and Relax.

Isa: as we don't Have an Atmosphere that Protects us from Solar Radiation and the intense brightness of the Sun, our Biodomes were Built out of a Special Glass. Depending on the Location we can Adjust the tint of the glass to ensure that we always have the Right Levels of Light for our Plants and of course the Right Temperature for our people. The Glas is also specially Made to Repel Dangerous Solar Radiation and let only the good stuff through. We also do some Groupe Therapy Sessions with the More Stable Patients here, but of course, we take a Quiet Corner of the Biodome for this.

She said with a smile as she turned around to see Mac´s Reaction to the Biodomes and how they were different from the ones that she knew from Home at Faith Haven.
