       Cam and Abby's Relationship (Part 3)
       By: Cam Locktight Date: January 11, 2012, 6:19 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       "I'll leave you boys to your work and Phil no bothering Lt
       Locktight while he's working" heads the the bridge "Commodore
       can I see you for a moment it's about Lock and Phillip?"
       <tag Baj>
       follows Baj into the ready room "first of all, about Cam you
       might approve of our engagement after I inform you that he'll be
       doing the honourable thing and marrying the mother of his twin
       daughters so that will mean lighter duties for me and when I'm
       onduty limited stress because I don't want to risk miscarriage
       <tag Baj>
       thank you sir and I understand secondly there's a possible storm
       brewing regarding the Romulans, Ruanek wanted to enroll Phillip
       and Melinda's son Philippe in officer training Phillip's ok he's
       here on the Veroto but I've asked my mother to take the Cerberus
       into Romulan Space to retrieve Philippe and I'll also be taking
       custody of him, I've got Melinda's approval on that matter and
       we've already requested larger quarters from the quarter master
       to accommodate the growing for now Armstrong/Locktight family
       <tag Baj>
       "it was sir, I'll go back to my office I've got some paperwork I
       can catch up on I'm currently appointment light" heads back to
       her office
       Alex was on the bridge, he had spent the last week very ill in
       sickbay. He had returned to his duties. He had alot of work to
       do which included cleaning up his recent work in the science
       labs. But his duty was on the bridge this unidenftied vessel was
       indeed Gederation, Alex tried scanning for life forms but there
       was something cause an distrubance in the sensor matrix.
       "Ma'am I am unable to scan for life forms there appears to be a
       distrubtion in the main matrix in the sensor grid." Alex said
       reporting what he had discovered, he then awaited for the
       Captains orders.
       But Alex could sense something like an disturbance in the force
       and he knew Kira knew something that she wasn't sharing.
       stares at the ship trying to see beyond the charcol and sees
       what Kira is probably seeing then remembers her final visit to
       the bridge of that vessel
       Ross: sure you can't stay Abby
       "I'm sure sir, I can't stay on a ship when I want to kill it's
       Commanding Officer every day because of what Phillip's father
       did to me"
       Ross: I understand but Steve will probably be moping around for
       a couple of days when he gets back
       "he probably will, don't let him please we'll be back together
       soon"
       Ross: I'll try to keep him occupied Abby
       "thanks and tell him that Phillip and I are missing him just as
       much as he's missing us please" snaps out of the flashback
       "~Kira you, Baj and I would know that ship anywhere~
       Kira looked at Baj and then Abby. "It can't be her." Kira said
       defiantly. She was destroyed, the borg destroyed her... I know I
       saw her explode" Kira rose from her seat. "Baj, Alex, Adams your
       with me, bring us in to transporter range Hardfighter you have
       the bridge. No arguments about Baj and i going over... we have
       to know if this is really the slipsteam."
       Baj stood, nodded, and started for the turbolift
       They arrived in the transporter room and stepped on the pad. The
       transporter took effect and deposited them on the bridge. As
       soon as they materalized an overwhelming sense of pain and panic
       hit her. She looked around, the bridge looked exactly like that
       of the slipsteam. Kira nodded for them to spread out and she
       went for where she knew the dedication plaque would be. As soon
       as she saw the gold lettering reading USS Slipsteam her blood
       ran cold. "Baj, it..." kira couldn't get the words out.
       Baj walked over to where Kira was standing and saw the plaque as
       well. He put an arm around Kira. "Its ok, its ok, we'll find out
       what happened." He had not been on the ship when it had been
       destroyed, having already been assimilated on his way to Bajor.
       He move over to one of the consoles. "It seems like main power
       is down, we only have emergency life support. I can get more up
       and running in engineering." He looked to Kira
       She turned to look at him tears whelling up in her eyes. Alot of
       good people had died on this ship. For the first time she looked
       down and saw reamins of the crew her eyes rested on the remains
       of an officer whos uniform was intact and 4 pips shown through
       the dust and debris. "Oh god baj its Captain Ross." She barried
       her face in Baj's shoulder as the tears streaked down her face.
       William had died in her arms and his last words were ordering
       her to abandon ship. She felt Baj hold her tightly and then it
       hit her. echos of the voices of the crew crying out in pain
       begging her to help her as she made her way to the escape pods
       most of them had been beyond any help and she had left them
       there to die. The echos grew louder screaming her brain. The
       urge to run that she had felt that day was overwhelming.
       "Somethings wrong on this ship I can feel it" she choked out.
       Cam was sitting at his desk looking over his last mission and
       shaking his head. "This last mission I was on was with your
       mommy and Lela as part of my away team to rescue some of the
       crew, including Lela's daddy. That was a weird one, about this
       race of women who had weird ways of taking out their male
       enemies." He was chuckling about that when Abby came in,
       Phillip: was Mara part of the mission as well?
       "Yep Mara was a big help to us against the enemy."
       Phillip: that's good, hi mummy who's looking after me tonight?
       "the holonanny, Baj didn't buy the medical veto"
       Cam shook his head. "Well I'm sure that he will in a few months
       when your as round as a beach bal....." He shut up then, knowing
       he probably stuck his foot into his mouth almost to far with
       that comment.
       "he probably will and don't worry darling no sleeping on the
       couch, Steve said worse but then someone wasn't biologically
       his"
       Cam whiped his brow after that. "I didn't want to know how
       uncomfortable the couch actually is."
       kisses him "you won't unless you use up all your brownie points"
       Kisses her back. "Got to make sure I keep the brownie points up
       to full at all times then."
       "yes you do, you'll need extra in my 9 month since then your
       hand will be in danger of being broken"
       At least try tonbreak my left hand instead of my right hand
       please." He chuckled at that for he knew that with medical
       technology now, it wouldn't be broke for long.
       "I will darling"
       Cam got down on his knees in front of her. "So how are my
       darling little girls doing today?" He kissed her belly and stuck
       his ear to it. "Hmm yes, yes, I agree, yes most definitely. I
       will make sure I tell her that." "They say no stress for you,
       unless you want to be sleeping to relieve the stress." He was
       saying this with a completely straight face.
       "then it's a good thing you're sharing my office, foot massages
       when I start complaining about them"
       Cam smiled. "Don't worry, you won't have to worry about the lack
       of foot massages, and any kind of massage you want at any time."
       He kissed her again
       kisses back "good and I'm going to make sure I remain
       appointment light"
       "Good to hear, because you my dear are on light duty for he next
       year or so. until the twins are settled in. That way you wont be
       to stressed out."
       "who's the medical officer?"
       "You are dear, but I think I know what's good for my family."
       Phillip: "and mummy you are to take maternity leave in your 5th
       month"
       "See even Phillip agrees with me."
       "you win Cam and Phillip that will only happen if the Veroto
       doesn't need me and there are complications"
       Cam kissed her passionately. "That's good, you my dear are going
       to be the most spoiled and pampered pregnant woman ever."
       kisses back just as passionately "even more than Kira was when
       she was pregnant with Jonathan?"
       "More, even tho from what I hear, that's going to be hard to
       top."
       "it is, being Fleet CO while pregnant has it's advantages"
       "More stressful job tho, so you will have it a little easier."
       "yes I will, might have to see about surpressing my abilities
       during my pregnancy I couldn't control them very well during my
       last one" looks at Phillip
       Phillip: sorry mummy, I made her break a few things on the
       Slipsteam
       "That's all right Phillip, I know you didn't mean to. Now it
       could be worse with twins tho, so this is going to be
       interesting."
       "it could be, if Baj continues to act like Phoenix he might
       insist I surpress them or keep Collins Control on hand at all
       times"
       "Or insist you go on maternity leave even earlier than the 5th
       month."
       "that's true but the ship might need it's chief counselor on
       duty"
       Cam looked at her. "That's why you have assistants, let them
       assist you"
       "and they are, the reason I'm appointment light at the moment is
       because I delegated"
       "Good to hear. I have an idea, I will be back in a bit, be good
       for you mommy Phillip, and make sure she get her feet up and get
       her some tea or something."
       Phillip: I will Cam
       "what are you planning?"
       "A surprise, so no going and looking through my mind to find out
       what I'm thinking love." He then left the room and went back
       down to the Quartermasters office.
       "spoil sport"
       Phillip: "mummy he probably has a good reason for it" gets up
       and replicates Abby a foot massager for her to use while Cam's
       doing his rounds
       Cam makes a quick trip by the quarters to grab a bottle of the
       Romulan Ale, just in case he needs a bribe here, and then heads
       down to the quartermasters office and walks in. "I have another
       special request for my new family quarters if it's at all
       possible sir." He had the bottle behind his back, not wanting to
       use it unless he had to.
       Quartermaster: what is that?
       Phillip: ~Cam did you go into the right crate?~
       "Well my fiancee is going to be really stressed during her
       pregnancy, and from what I understand it might not be a really
       good idea for that to happen. So I was wondering about getting a
       soaking tub in the bath so that it will help her relax." ~~Yes
       Phill, I took it out of the real stuff, not the non-alcholic~~
       Quartermaster: you'll have it and the water shower, can't have
       Ms. Armstrong breaking anything by accident
       "Thank you sir, I heard what had happened during her last
       pregnancy. I was going to offer you this as a bribe if need be,
       but I'm going to give it to you anyway, enjoy." Hands him the
       bottle of Romulan Ale.
       Quartermaster: "your welcome and I hope it was obtained legally"
       "Of course, it came from one of the high commanders in the
       Romulan military himself, as part of a contribution to Lt
       Armstrong to allow him to see his son."
       Quartermaster: it pays to have exes in the Romulan Command
       "Yes it does doesn't it. If you could possibly get our quarters
       ready for the wedding, there could be another bottle in it for
       you."
       Quartermaster: I'll see what I can do
       ty sir, and have a great day. With that Cam went back up to
       Abby's office whistling a tune.
       "you seem happier than when you left, you didn't happen to bribe
       anyone with my Romulan Ale?"
       "Actually love, I ended up not needing to bribe him, but I gave
       him the bottle anyway. I did offer him one to have our new
       quarters ready by the wedding."
       "good thinking"
       He kissed her. "I know you will love your surprise also."
       kisses him back "I'm sure I will Imzadi"
       He wrapped his arms around her and just held her close. ~~My
       Imzadi, yes you are~~
       "~and I always will be~"
       Smiles and then looks at Phillip with a wink. ~~It is a go
       Phillip~~
       Phillip: ~good, then maybe I won't have to share with my cousin~
       "Yep maybe you won't have to share a room. At least not after
       the wedding. When do we expect them to be here anyway?"
       "depends on how much trouble Ruanek is being but my mother
       could've used the taking my grandson to meet his uncles excuse"
       "So anytime between right now and next Tuesday"
       "yes, the Cerberus also has to pick up my father and siblings"
       "True, so probably within the hour, especially if Ruanek really
       has ****ed her off. Maybe if she wants to drop him off before
       picking the others up or not, but who knows"
       "maybe but I hope not, he should spend some time with his
       mother"
       Phillip: ~what about adopting me Cam, have you started the
       paperwork for that yet?~
       "Yes I agree with you." ~~I just talked to your mother about
       that a couple of hours ago Phill, and I've been on shift pretty
       much since then, so I haven't had the time to start the
       paperwork, but I think part of it is with the Chief Counselor,
       so we can get it started now.~
       ~we'd better get started on it darling and since your office is
       here and unless Baj is feeling really evil~
       "Yes we might as well get it started right now. So what do we
       have to do for this Dear."
       "alter Phillip's records with Command it does require permission
       from at least one birth parent" accesses Phillip's file
       "Well that's easy, your hear as his birth mother, so getting
       permission shouldn't be hard."
       "no it shouldn't and since contacting his birth father would be
       too stressful"
       "Most definitely, so no contacting his birth father."
       "yes, as far as Command was concerned Steven Armstrong was his
       father" starts adding Cam to the list of parents
       Cam smiled and looked over at Phillip. "So after we get this
       done, you will be Phillip Armstrong-Locktight"
       Phillip: oh good, what about adopting Phillippe and if you do
       can he get a new name?
       "Sure I can adopt Phillipe also, and if he wants a different
       name, we can give him one. We will have to get Melinda's or
       Raunek's permission first and it will be more official."
       "Melinda will be easier, she's also granted me custody of
       Phillippe"
       "Sounds like a plan. We both can adopt him, and make it
       official."
       "yes we can"
       Cam smiled. "So you want Phillipe to be your official brother
       then Phill?"
       Phillip: "yes, he would've been it a lot sooner if it hadn't
       been for Aunty Melinda
       "And you will have someone to help you chaperone your sisters on
       their dates." He chuckled as he smiled at that.
       Phillip: yep, they can have dates on the same night that way
       "leaving us with the place to ourselves"
       "Sounds like a plan."
       "after the wedding will be a good rehersal for that, the boys
       will be with my sister or parents and we can see if Baj or Kira
       can lock down our quarters or the holodeck"
       "Yah but how long do you think they will give us for a
       honeymoon?"
       "I don't know, a week at least depending on if we're needed on
       duty"
       "Sounds like a pleasurable week or so, I can't wait for the
       fun." He kissed her again, ruffling Phillips hair.
       Phillip: some fun being locked in a room for a week
       "Cam and I will find ways of having fun Phillip"
       Cam chuckled at that. "You will understand when your older
       Phillip, you will understand that girls aren't icky and full of
       cooties and are good for a lot of things to be locked up in a
       room with."
       "I did have you as my prisoner for an hour or two earlier"
       "Oh yes, and you had one of the most willing prisoners around
       and looking forward to a repeat performance."
       "you'll get it darling"
       Phillip: can I go to our quarters if you two are going to behave
       like that?
       "Sorry Phillip, we will behave,"
       Phillip: good
       "So what shall we do now, that we're a big happy family, well
       soon to be."
       Phillip: well if you weren't on duty Cam you could take me
       fishing
       "Yah I know, and I'm sorry about that Phill. We got punished for
       ditching out on the lunch part of the meeting earlier today."
       Phillip: I'll talk to Uncle Baj about that, you did want to get
       your first date out of the way before I arrived
       "yes but we could've waited until after our shifts to do that"
       "I promise you that I will take you fishing sometime before the
       wedding Phill, just you and me."
       Phillip: ok
       Cam smiled and went back to his paperwork, Thinking that if he
       had to work, he might as well get it done now."
       starts her paperwork trying not stick her leg out to play
       footsies with Cam
       Cam smiled and looked over at Abby with a chuckle. ~How are you
       doing Imzadi?~
       ~I'm **** fine Imzadi, it's too early the unpleasent pregnancy
       symptom to start~
       ~You know Captain Mother was right, you are beginning to glow~
       ~must be because I'm near you darling~
       Cam smiled and sent a Love hug to her through their link
       Abby smiles back and looks at the clock ~someone's bedtime~
       Looks over at Phillip who was falling asleep. "Looks like it's
       been a long day for him, you want me to go put him to bed?"
       "yes please, got a mountain to get through"
       "No problem, I will set the nanny before I leave there, and be
       right back." He got up and picked Phillip up. "Come on big man,
       time for you to go to bed. Say good night to your mommy and I
       will take and put you to bed while she works."
       Phillip: night mummy and the foot massager is under your desk
       "thanks sweetie" kisses Phillip on the head
       "I will be back in a bit." With that he headed out of the
       offices and down to their quarters. He helped Phillip get ready
       for bed. "So do you get a bedtime story before you go to bed or
       any kind of routine?"
       Phillip: a Flotter story but I'm too tired
       "Ok good night Phillip, I will turn the Nanny on just in case
       you need anything, we shouldn't be back to late tonight." He
       kissed him on the forehead, and after tucking him in, turned to
       leave and turned on the nanny program.
       Phillip: goes to sleep
       ~did he insist on Flotter?~
       ~No he said he was to tired and went right to sleep~
       ~he must have been tired, he loves that blue guy~
       ~I turned the nanny on, so we have a few hours before we need to
       be back.~~
       ~speaking of needing to be back Imzadi~
       ~I'm on my way back now, just getting ready to walk in the door~
       "~oh good~" turns off the foot massager
       Walks in and smiles before kissing her again. "So any patients
       this shift, or all paperwork?"
       kisses him back "all paperwork, Baj couldn't have assigned me
       double shifts at a better time"
       "I think Baj likes giving me double shifts, because he takes and
       gives me a lot of paperwork"
       "he might as well, he'll probably be doing it more often now"
       He smiled and chuckled at that. He got down on the floor, and
       pulled her feet into his lap, to give them a proper massage
       "thanks darling, I need one"
       He gives her a proper and full foot massage, also working on
       ankles and calves, making sure they were fully relaxed. "Just a
       start for tonights massage."
       smiles "you're very good darling, you can use what Phillip
       replicated for me if you like"
       Looks under the table and chuckles, "Looks like a pair of hands
       on wrists, can never replace the real thing"
       "No it can't."
       Cam smiled as he started kissing her calves and feet as he
       massaged them. Kissing each of her individual toes and lavishing
       each of them with love and tenderness
       closes her eyes loving the attention Cam is giving her"computer
       notify me if anyone approaches my office"
       Kissing up and down each of her legs, making love to her legs
       with his mouth and hands. ~~I love you so much My Imzadi~~
       ~I love you as well and I can't wait to get off duty~
       ~~Neither can I, how much longer do we have?~~
       ~a few more hours~
       Hmm, --Starts working on the other leg, slipping under her desk
       so that if anyone came in they wouldn't see him--
       "I'm sure they know that you're the type of guy that pampers the
       woman he loves Imzadi"
       "Yes I know, but maybe I don't want them to see what your going
       through
       "think they might get jealous?"
       ~~Maybe~~
       ~let them get their own fiancee/massusse~
       Kira sat on the bridge, Baj sitting next to her and Lela next to
       him. The new ship ran shoothly. She liked the feel of her.
       "Approching the system" Hardfighter said from the Tacitcal
       station.
       "Slow to impulse" She ordered, the last time she had been in
       this system they had lost the Slipsteam. She looked over her
       shoulder at Alex. "What do scans tell you?" she asked.
       "Brings back old memories doesn't it Baj" she whispered
       Cam was standing by the turbo lift, out of the way on the
       bridge. He didn't really have anywhere he was supposed to be, so
       he acted as help and back up for security on the bridge, smiling
       a bit as he stood there.
       "~darling if I'm not home when you get there I'm on the
       holodeck, I'll check on Phillip on my way there but can you
       check on the adoption please~" heads to her quarters to check on
       Phillip "has he woken up at all?"
       Nanny: no he hasn't
       "good but be prepared, Ruanek's plans scared him"
       Nanny: I will be, are you going back onduty?
       "no I'm going to the holodeck to make peace with a ghost, Lt
       Locktight will hopefully be home in the next hour or two" heads
       to the holodeck "computer run program Armstrong beta" enters the
       holodeck and looks around "I remember why I rarely go to the
       place on Lake Armstrong, too many reminders of Steve"
       S. Armstrong: appears "this is a bad thing?"
       "Steve, it is when I'm trying to move on with my life, it's hard
       I kept expecting you to beam in, hoping that it wasn't you that
       was killed when the helm console exploded"
       S. Armstrong: Abby why are you trying to move on?
       "it's been a year, I'm getting married to someone else when the
       current mission is over I'll always love you Stevie but I need
       to make peace with the fact I never got to say goodbye, kiss you
       one last time, have your child we were planning to have one
       S. Armstrong: if the new guy is Baj Tellok
       "it's not, Phillip wanted him to be but he's fallen for an
       Orion's charms"
       S. Armstrong: speaking of our son, does he approve of your
       fiancé?
       "he does, Cam wouldn't have proposed without it and Steve"
       kisses the hologram of her first husband "I'm having Cam's
       children so he's being honourable"
       S. Armstrong: then you have my blessing darling, I want you to
       be happy and try not to dwell on what might have been if I
       had've lived you owe it to Cam
       "I'll try not to" kisses Steve one last time this time on the
       cheek"computer end program" goes back to her quarters "honey I'm
       home"
       "~darling if I'm not home when you get there I'm on the
       holodeck, I'll check on Phillip on my way there but can you
       check on the adoption please~"
       ~~Ok love, I will check on that and be back in a hour or so. Is
       there anything that you can think of to get rid of boredom on
       the bridge when you have nothing to do?~~
       He went over to one of the open computer monitors and accessed
       Abby's logs to check out the progress of the Adoption and
       noticed that it was going well before logging off and waiting
       for his replacement.
       Kira looked over at Lock then down at her seat console. "Mr.
       Locktight, impacient to get off the bridge?" she teased. Kira
       had been boared. Gary had make her take a little bit of leave
       before returning to duty. It had boared her to no end being
       unable to be on the bridge or do her job.
       "Ma'am!" came the startled voice of Danny. "I am picking up a
       ship its Federation, the only problem is I cannot read its name
       or registry number its badly damadged and in orbit of a Class Y
       planet."
       Kira's head whipped back around to face Baj. "It couldn't be...
       could it?" she whispered. "She was destroyed we all saw her
       destroyed right?" Kira hit her combadge.
       =/\= Falcon to Stormer report to the bridge immediatly=/\=
       "Baj, you wont mind if I lead this one will you, I have to
       know." Kira said so only Baj could hear her.
       "Sorry Admiral, just some things that are under way." He then
       heard what was going on and immediately went to professional
       mode again. "What would you want me to do Admiral?"
       ~~We're going to have to postpone our little rendevous love,
       something major has come up.~~
       ~what's going on up there?, Kira sounded strange when she called
       me to the bridge~
       ~~Seems like a ship they thought they saw blown up has shown up
       again~~
       struggles to fight back tears ~it can't be not that ship I was
       still in sensor range when it blew up~
       ~~I don't know love, but they have found a ship orbitting a
       planet that can't read name or numbers on, and Kira is really
       interested in it, she had the same reaction you did tho~~
       ~probably not the exact same reation Imazadi and if it's the
       ship Kira and I both think it is I'm going over there~
       ~~Who's ship is it love?~~
       ~it could be the Slipsteam, I left it prior to it blowing up
       because I wanted to kill it's commanding officer Kira, Baj and I
       met on that ship I also met on it~
       ~~I understand~~
       ~so no even trying to veto me going over there please if it's
       the Slipsteam~
       ~~Ok love, you need to calm down, come on up here, and we can
       see about what's going on. Get the nanny for Phill, and try to
       calm down please.~~
       "computer activate Nanny ~I'll try to~" breaks the vase Steve's
       mother gave her and Steve as an engagement gift Abby takes it
       over to the replicator "computer the best repair job you can do
       and one hypo of Collins' control please" gets the vase out of
       the replicator first and places it back where it belongs and
       then removes the hypo "I just had to break that one" goes up to
       the Bridge and sees the ship "Kira put me on the away team, I
       need to go over there Lock and I have already talked about it"
       Cam gave her a hug and nodded.
       looks at Cam and then at the ship "I have to know if it's the
       Slipsteam ~Kira were we right, is it the Slipsteam?~"
       <tag Kira>
       ~permission to beam over there?~
       <tag Kira>
       ~Kira the doc said I have a month before I have to start taking
       it easy and even if he ordered me not to go over to the
       Slipsteam I wouldn't listen to him Kira you know what that ship
       means to me~ Cam that ship, it's the Slipsteam, Kira doesn't
       want me to go over
       Cam looked at her and chuckled. "I can't stop you from going
       over there, but be careful. Don't do anything stupid, because I
       just got you and I don't want to lose you now." He kissed her
       softly. ~~Be careful my Imzadi~~
       kisses him back "~I will~ don't worry I won't, I'll wait until
       Kira says it's safe to beam over"
       ~~Good and you better. I don't want to be the one to tell
       Phillip what happened if something bad does happen. I love you
       so much and if something bad does happen, we will be all
       right.~~
       ~don't worry darling nothing will ever happen to the three of us
       especially if you keep kissing me they can talk me out of just
       about anything~
       Cam holds her in his arms as they await word, and keeps up the
       kissing to convince her.
       puts her arms around him "~you can be pretty convincing when you
       want to be Imzadi~"
       Cam smiled and chuckled at that. ~~I only have the best
       intentions for you my Imzadi~~
       ~I know you do, something about that ship is worrying Kira I
       don't know what~
       ~~Neither do I, but we got to hope for the best.~~
       ~yes we do, I need to see them again even Captain Ross~
       he chuckled at that. ~I know, and maybe you will~
       looks at the Slipsteam ~I just wish they had've contacted me
       when the attack happened, as much as I hated Ross I would've
       turned back~
       ~~I know, but we can't take and go back into the past, just
       remember it in the future~~ He wrapped his arms protectively
       around her middle as he watched the view screen.
       ~I know, I hate seeing her like this if anything happened to you
       Veroto would have the same pull~ kisses Cam lightly
       He smiled and kissed her back. ~~Now let's just think happy
       thoughts~~
       ~I'll try, any word on the Cerberus?~
       ~~Nothing lately, but I've been on the bridge for the last hour
       or so~
       ~we'd better check on it~
       ~~Hmm mm, what do you suggest.~~
       ~telepathy, I've been too focused on the Slipsteam to think
       about the ship who's rescue it went to~
       ~~Hmm, well your the telepath love~~
       ~thanks to a certain Romulan, Mother what's your location?~
       M. Collins: ~almost at Romulus, the extraction team will be
       going down almost as soon as we arrive~
       ~make sure nothing happens to Ruanek until he's safe~
       M. Collins: ~I know sweetie~
       ~Cerberus is almost at Romulus~
       ~~So how are things going love?~~
       ~it's going good, my mother has reassured me that nothing will
       happen to Ruanek until our son is safe~
       ~~Ok good to hear.~~
       "~yes it is~" checks on Phillip "~he's still asleep~
       ~~good, looks like things are going good here also~~
       ~for now they are, want to call Marconi up here so we can head
       home?~
       ~~Sure, if your certain.~~ ==/\== Locktight to Marconi, it's
       time for you shift sleepy head. ==/\== He chuckled as he got his
       reply and the man was there within 5 minutes. ~~We can go now~~
       "~Aunty Kira can I beam over to the Slipsteam?~"
       <tag Kira>
       "~oh ok~" goes to see if Cam's awake
       Cam had been exhausted from a long night, and wasn't sure
       whether he was fully awake or not. He had Abby wrapped up
       protectively in his arms, while she slept, and looked up when he
       got a knock on his bedroom door. He called out a soft enter then
       looked to see who it is. "What's up Phill, nightmares again?"
       "no, just bored tried to see if I could go over to the Slipsteam
       but Aunty Kira said I wasn't"
       "Your right Phill, your not going over to the Slipstream, not
       only is it an unknown right now, but it would worry your mommy
       to much, which we don't want."
       "no we don't"
       A. Armstrong: wakes up slightly "Phillip go to bed and you are
       not going over to the Slipsteam even if Aunty Kira deems it
       safe"
       Cam chuckled. "Caught Phill, now go back to bed, and hopefully
       we will have some answers in the morning. Love you."
       "night and mummy that goes for you as well" goes to bed
       A. Armstrong: kisses Cam "Imzadi get some sleep"
       Cam smiled and kissed her back. "I am planning on sleeping once
       my head hits the pillow." And he did just that, wrapping her
       back up in his arms as he did
       A. Armstrong: goes back to sleep
       wakes up slightly and looks out the viewpoint "~Kira do me a
       favour please and go to Steve's quarters, see if he left
       anything there I would do it myself but you've not declared the
       Slipsteam safe and you're not the only one that doesn't want me
       over there an old boyfriend does as well~"
