Acrylos went to find Nicole. She was once again holed up in her house. Acrylos loved the awesome power of industrial replicators. They made all things possible. He now believed he could terra form a colony in mere days. Nicole and Brenna were eating breakfast when Acrylos arrived.
Acrylos took Nicole by the hand and led her outside. He pointed to the west. Nicole looked out and saw the hugging buildings. Acrylos took her to the end of the street. The buildings will serve as offices for the New Beta quadrant Unity System (BUS) which will allow the Jarada and Tamarians to set up consulates on the colony.
Acrylos took Nicole to the end of the street and pointed at the sign, "Coren Cul-Du-Sac".
Acrylos looked at Nicole, "Orchid will live forever now."
Nicole could not speak. She just hugged the Bajoran. He had done something amazing here. Orchid would live forever. Her spirit would be in this divider. Nicole walked up to the "hugging building". She started to cry. She thought of hugs she and Orchid had shared. The buildings will always remind her of those moments.
