Brystal is the daughter of the great Admiral Christopher Pike. She was nobody special, nobody specific, but that all changed one day.

Jason looked out on the balcony, seeing the crimson edges of waves of stars like fabric. Full of inky color into a blurring, yet colorful abyss. The party had grown louder, but Jason had lost his interest minutes ago.
He'd done these a thousand times, yet he always found himself out there on the same balcony. Like he was watching over his group to make sure no undetected ships pass by. Especially with Anya chasing them down.
He taped the side of his jacket's right pocket with his hand, hitting his data pad to blast music from his headphones. A sense of comfort and allowing him to escape his world. Escape everything that he hated.
"Come as you are,
As you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend
As a known enemy."
Just like that he let his mind flood back with memories as far as back as 1988. When music still seemed good and new, compared to the aggressive electronic beats of this generation. It wasn't as smooth as a Beatles song or as hard core as Blondie.
Where he'd been cursed at by his mother when she caught himself making out on the back porch at night. Helping out with the family farm, even if he hated the work with a passion. Still at night the family would listen to records and sing along to anybody they played, knowing all the lyrics by heart.
Maybe it had just been last night when he sat on the roof, gazing at the stars. Where he could still smell the freshly cut grass and night dew. It all had been something so calming and relaxing in those perfect moments.
Something that actually felt so good and right, but he'd left it all behind. For what reason? He didn't even know himself anymore.
Smoking of course was damaging, then, but nobody really cared. He still had a small pack and would do one once a month just to take a trip down memory lane. Painful, but bittersweet in its own terms.
"You okay?" A slightly unfamiliar voice spoke up behind him.
Immediately, his first instinct was to pull off his headphones to actually not be distracted. His eyes and body glided over to see Brystal standing there. Here expression serious and calm much like she'd been hours ago.
"Yeah....just.....taking in the view," Jason quickly thought of.
"As my brother would say, that's probably not the reason you are gloomy staring off into space," Brystal commented.
"Well, your brothers a smartass then," Jason gave a small smile.
Brystal would've burst out laughing at the point. Kit always acted so overprotective and a smartass towards her these days. Constantly messaging her and Christine to see if they were doing okay and if they were still alive.
