Engineer's Log, Stardate ???
Since being given leave to wander the city, Geordi had spent a lot of time at the Renaissance Center. He'd discovered the database accessible from the communicator quickly enough, but there was something constraining about staying in the cramped temporary quarters to read it, and out in the city at large, the distractions were innumerable.
It had made the discovery of the library and museum building at the Renaissance Center invaluable. With his meeting with Science Captain McEngineer hinging on the arrival of the Glorious Dream of Uncontested Starfall, Geordi had found himself at loose ends for an uncertain number of days, but he was determined to use it productively- and that was where the database came in. No matter the outcome of that meeting, after all, he'd still have to figure out a way to get by here until the problem with the fold-space accident could be reversed, and that would require learning about this Fleet, in every way he could.
When he'd started out, finding a datapad and a open seat in the building, it had seemed like a good idea, but now, hours later, after more pages than he could count, he realized he was reading each sentence several times over to actually pick up the information. With a huge sigh, Geordi leaned back in his chair, and ran his hands over his face. "I feel like I'm back at the Academy," he said, slightly louder than he'd intended.

"In the long run, if we don't mention it, someone else will," Geordi felt the need to point out. "From what I've heard- not just from the people of the Crux Fleet, but from some of the others who were brought here- regulations like the Prime Directive aren't usual where they're from. Then there are others who have no idea what space is." He shook his head. "There's a lot to learn in order to manage here for even a few days. Their replicators, for example."

Still, Geordi had a point. Everything ran counter to the directive, and if they were going to be any help, it might be even more difficult. "Hard to imagine what all of this looks like from the shoes of someone who doesn't even know space." And maybe that was an arrogant point of view, but it was one she'd been on the receiving end of, and one humanity itself worked through with Vulcans and developing the first deep-space program. Who knew what things would be like if that had gone differently. "I don't suppose you'd have recommendations?"
