(It sounds like there's a lot of story potential there, and if there's anything Lucretia loves, it's a good story!
Deanna's next question gives her pause, but not out of any hesitance or reluctance to answer. Perversely, Lucretia thinks, her being an empath may be helpful in situations such as these; she's simply trying to figure out how to put this in simple terms. It is a very, very long story.)
Well, (she starts, taking the little pin back with a murmur of gratitude, and sliding it back into her jacket pocket where it belongs,) my crew and I left our home world a little more than a century ago to pursue a mysterious force called the Light of Creation. We were to travel to a few different worlds and study it. It possesses the power to create anything given a tangible form, and stimulates advancement in all life; we decided to harness that power, try to bring it back home. I was the mission's chronicler.
