<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">Ire stood up from the table
and walked into the living room and looked out of the large windows at the view
across the lake. He paused there for a short while just looking out before he
noticed a photo in a frame in the window ledge beside him. He picked up the photo
and saw an older couple with two younger women who looked like their daughters
and a younger man. He paused for a moment as he looked at the young man with a
mixture of horror and fascination as the man smiling face looking back at him
was his own. </span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“By the prophets.” </span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">He muttered to himself as he
realised that the older couple were his actual parents who had died with the collapse
of the subspace tunnels all those years ago. <span> </span></span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“Mother and father. I guess
the two women would be my sisters?”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">He placed the photo back
carefully as he did not want to drop it as he scanned around for more photos and
saw what looked like a wedding photo with him and Souliz in it. </span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“This can’t be right. I cannot
be married to her. I am engaged to Greta.”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">Beside it was a photo of him,
Souliz and Annebell in some sort of park all smiling and looking happy. He took
a step back and dropped onto the sofa and shook his head in shock.</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“What have you gotten yourself
into now Ire?”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">He heard the sound of
thudding feet behind him and turned. He saw Annebell come speeding into the
room and skidded to a halt before him. She was wearing a command unform with
commander pips and was looking up at him with a huge grin.</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“Look daddy now I out rank
you.”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">He looked at her and nodded.</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“And why are you wearing a Starfleet
uniform?”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">She put her hands on her
hips and sighed at him.</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“Daddy. We are going to the Exeter
convention. You can not have forgotten. You promised that you would take me.”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">~The Exeter convention? Maybe
there will be more of the crew there~</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“Of course, Annebell when do
we go?”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“Is that how you talk to a
superior officer Lieutenant?”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">He looked at her mock seriousness
and realised that playing along was probably the best scenario for the moment.</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“No ma’am sorry commander.”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“Good.” </span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“Commander when are we going
to the convention centre?”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“Right now.”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“Ma’am how do we get there.”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">He saw her roll her eyes and
as she scooped up a black rectangle device about the length of his hand from
the arm rest of the sofa. She held it out and he saw an icon of a thumb print
which appeared on it surface. He placed his thumb on it and then screen lit up.
Annebell took it back and began to tap furiously on it before smiling.</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“All done.”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“Okay let’s go Commander.”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">He turned and headed towards
the door.</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“No wait?”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">Ire turned back.</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“Ma’am?”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“You cannot go out like that.
You need a disguise? So that the baddies don’t know who you are.”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">~Baddies~</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">He frowned.</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“A disguise?”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“Yes, you always have a
disguise when we go out.”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">“Yes commander</span></p>
<p class="ydpc08214c3MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D2228;background:white">He nodded as he went back
towards the bedroom.</span></p>
