Re: CIVIE SECTION
<<<The Following Morning>>>
Melia rose early, as usual, about the same time as Shadow did to prep for the pilots training, and set to work on her morning routine. Cookie and Orria slept soundly in their room, a fight that Melia had relented on after much struggle, she sat down at the table and cleaned her weapons, a daily ritual that didnt take long typically a quick disassembly wipe down and oiling the moving parts and pieces to prevent jams and misfires.
Once complete and everything ready to go for the day she turns on a meditative tai'chi video working on controlled movement and breathing. The video and routine are short ending with her sitting in a seated mediation position. The vidboard transitions to just soft instrumental music as Melia focuses on herself and trying to find internal balance.
After about an hour she rises and stretches and sits down to do more research about PTSD. Given her options were to go to a medical ship or to find help on her own she searches for resources. It really was a shame Cookie, the medtech, had been so busy with her own stuff recently so until she had some free time it was up to Melia. Finding many that look a bit confusing Melia decides to start with a few textbooks that outline and detail the causes and symptoms of PTSD and introduced the treatment methods.
Her reading time is short lived, as Orria and Cookie stirred.

Orria rose groggily snuggled up with Cookie. She padded out of bed and out into the kitchen. Once there she was greeted by Melia with a peck on the head and a good morning. Into her hands was placed a plastic bag and she was sent get Cookie and take the Lonnox out for its morning walk and bathroom.
Once the morning rituals were complete Orria gathered her school supplies and Melia walked her over to the school house. Orria quickly shuffled to her seat ready to take her reading test anxious to move on in the programming and languages curriculum.
