Facing your dad.

Mission: Family Detention
Location: Thex quarters.

A smile was on Thex face as she finished tightening the last bolt on the second incubator. With her twin daughters only being a month or two away she had to get the finishing touches of their room. Everything would be perfect for when the two of them would be here.

She wiped some of the sweat of her brow as she stood up and packed away her tools. Now she just had one thing to do. Her blue eyes looked over at the holo transmitter in the corner of her living room. Checking the time she walked over to the block. Here goes nothing.

" Computer activate scheduled transmission to earth. " She said breathing in as the holomatrics scanned her in and began projecting her image and her across the vastness of space and into a small medical room far away on distant earth.

What her blue eyes fell on made her freeze in place. The andorian in the bed could be described at the very best as a mess. His right arm was gone and judging by the regenerator a good chunk of his shoulder and side had come with it. His face could barely be called a face being nothing more than a patchwork of scars and bruises.

His antenna flicked as he heard her and one of his bruised eyes forced itself open.

Thex wanted to hate him. She wanted to scream and shout and throw things at him, but as she looked into the bloodshot, broken eye her heartfelt nothing but pity. Reaching out a hand she took his in her own. " Hello thavan." she said trying to hide the tears in her eyes.

Even though it was naught but a holographic projection she felt him squeeze back. A single bloody tear fell down his face as he tried to say something, but with the pipe down his throat, only a gurgle came back. " Please don't say anything. Just constrated on getting better I don't want to lose you now that I have you back. " She said gripping his hand out of concern.

She only had an hour with him, but it felt like only five munites had passed before as she poured her heart out to him and informed him of everything that had happened to her. He listed replying with a smile and what she thought may have been a laugh. she caught the buzzer that indicated her transmation would be ended.

Looking back at the wounded andorian on the bed she gripped his hand more tightly. " Just get better Thavan. I'll call again as soon as i can."

He replied with a weak smile as he held her hand until with another buzz she vanished and was back in her quarters. A smile spread over the hera's chief of engineering face as she felt a relief had been taken off her shoulders.

As she stepped off the patform she pushed as she noticed the error message on the padd. Bending down to investigate she saw that some junk information was blocking up the padds memory backup. Must be a lot to be causing an error she thought as she walked to her computer to fix the issue.

Just as she was about to purge the date befoe she paushed as she looked at the information being displayed. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at the data. This wasn't junk data it was far too organized for it. With a few types, her eyes widened at what she was seeing. This was a massive data dump in the old andorian zombo computer code. One of which her people hadn't used in centuries. How someone got it into the federation holo grid she had no idea, but what was on the screen was an even bigger puzzlement. The files all began with a message spelling out THEX DON'T DELETE FROM THAVAN.

Leaning back in her chair she was very confused , but she still moved the data into a separate computer archive she quickly created before she deleted it from the holo grid. This would take some investigation to work out.
