How to Heal a Heart

[Broken Wings]

Isa smiled as she sat there with her and watched how The little Fox got comfortable at her side and would act as if she knew her for her entire life. even when the Animals were friendly towards humans it was still a rare thing for Lucille to be this Trustworthy around a Total Stranger. But Isa would think this was because of her, and because Lucille knew her for a long time even when the Fox would have never invited Isa herself to cuddle her belly. Lucille would make cute fox sounds to show Mac that she was totally happy and would love for the Human to pet her.

Isa: oh yes he will be fine soon. And he is also one of our Patients that we will see for Therapy once he gets out of the hospital. He will also not be allowed to have any kind of Work in Space Suits for a While till we as his Psychologists give him the Green Light for this.

She said and smiled at her question about the Farms and the Agriculture. But before she could answer her she would burst into laughter as she saw how Niki and some Children would float in the Canal under them and how the Kids had a little water Battle while the Cat would Watch the Children from the Bow of a Boat like a Admiral that watched over her fleet. Isa couldn't help herself but laugh about this sight. But this would also lead to the fact that her cat looks up and finds her. The Litle Kitty would jump on land and would then make her way towards the two women. Niki was still Petty wet and would lay in the sun to get dry. The Cat didn't seme to mind about the fox that lay next to Mac and would beg for Berries and Cuddles. It looks like the two already knew each other.

Isa: well yes we have used the help of Farmers and Architects as well as Biologists and Specialist from Orbital Spa and Cruise, to find the Perfect Balance between the Practical and Relaxation Needs of the Citizens and Patients. It took a while and some Rebuilding during the first months till we found the Right Combination that everyone could Live with. I have read the Records of Dr Wilke about this and she Described all the Problems and the Obstacles they had to overcome. But in the end, they found a Solution that would benefit all. Some of the Farmers also Live here in the Biodome, but not all of them. Some Prefer to live in the Green, but others prefer the Apartments like the Rest of the Citizens. We also have some Cabins here at some more Quiet Places for those who take a little break from everyday stress.



Isa said with a smile as she heard about the Food Situation in Faith Haven. She could Understand that it was a Problem for a Colony like Faith Haven to get Enough Fresh Produce from their own Production and that it had the Highest Priority to be as independent as possible. Isa could Understand that the Situation for them was different from everything that a Mobile Colony like the Healing Heart would Experience. But she hoped that the Possible Deal with Orbital Spa and Cruise could Improve their Supply Situation. Isa had known Orbital very well in the past and knew they offered Fair Deals for their Partners. Isa knew that the Chairwoman of Orbital Spa and Cruise was a Tough Woman on the Outside but she was a really friendly woman once you would know her better. Isa knew that she would give the Colony of Faith a Fair Deal that would let both Sides have a Profit. But she would smile as she saw how the little fox would cuddle onto Mac as she would enjoy her Company. The little fox seemed to love how Mac cuddled her and would make even more Cute Sounds as she was having a good time.

Isa: Oh don't worry I am sure that Meyer and the other in the Clergy can make a good Deal with Orbital. But that will be a Thing for them to Clear, you will be focusing on your studies. But from all I know about Chairwoman Cross she will give the Colony a Fair Deal.

She said with a smile as she scratched Niki between the ears as she lay in the sun to get Dry again. The small Kitty didn't seem to have any problems with the Slightly Larger Fox this might also be because the two knew each other already. Lucille would also be way more Distracted by Mac and the attention she got from her. Isa would listen to her questions about Lucille and her extra Legs.

Isa: Well you would be surprised how many of them can Learn to Live with such Injuries even when they have only 3 Legs Left. We often try to give them Prosthetics but not all of them accept this or get used to Fake Limbs. But Animals are Pretty Resilient and can adapt to many new things. And it is not like they have Many Natural Predators here that they would need to fear, I mean in Difference to Planet Gaia where they would be an Easy Target.

Isa Chuckles as she sees how the Fox begs for more Berries and looks up at her with big eyes. The little one was crazy about berries and seemed to love how they tasted. Thankfully Gaian Foxes could eat anything that they wanted to, no matter if it was Meat, Fruits, or even Vegetables. The Gaian Foxes are very versatile in their Diets and Preferences. Of course, it helped that she would get a Special Diet from the Animal Welfare Team on board.

Isa: They get good food from our Animal Caretakers, but our Little Lucille here is well-known to Steal Berries from the Farmers whenever she can. She is known as the Berrie Thief. But she happily doesn't do too much damage so the Farmers mostly Tolerate her, or even Bribe her so she leaves them alone. I can tell you that she sometimes allows us to pet her, or rub her between the ears. But she has never before allowed someone to touch her belly. A belly is the most vulnerable spot of a Fox so it's a pretty rare thing that she allows you this is pretty Rare.

Just to Prove this she would reach her hand out to Lucille and the fox would immediately hide her belly. But Isa would only do this to Prove a Point and wouldn't really Touch her. She would only do this to prove a point that the Fox would Be a bit more Trustworthy towards Mac than she was towards other Humans.

Isa: Lucille was found by our Contacts, she had Stepped into a Trap that the Gallics had Placed around one of their Mines. The Gallics have Hunted them for Fun, the Sick Bastards saw this as some kind of Sport. I am happy that they are no longer on Gaia but I fear they have done a lot of damage that will take a long time to Repair. It Took Lucille a while to get used to walking without her Paw, but she is a Survivor and a Fighter just like you. Maybe she Recognizes this in you, maybe she knows that you two are the same.

Isa said with a smile as she had a feeling that these two might have a Deeper Connection than they would both Realize now. Isa knew that Mac and Lucille were both hurt at the time and that they could be good for each other. She was sure that they would see each other a lot during the time that Mac would be on board.
