Sharah sighed and looked at the total catastrophe she had created in front of her. She was never going to get this thing converted. The man she purchased it from said it was an easy thing to do. She’d asked him to take care of it before hand but he said he didn’t have the parts and couldn’t get them before she left Earth. Now she was stuck with this....this....useless item. She sighed unhappily. She’d singed her finger tips more times than she could count. She’d finally stopped using the dermal regenerator when she hurt herself, leaving the singed tips alone would make a callous and maybe it wouldn’t hurt so much the next time.

And of course forgetting the thing in front of her....there were the other parts to go with it, and one vital piece was missing. She huffed as she boxed it all back up when an idea come to her. Tabris! Of course! She looked at the time. Joseph wasn’t due to be off shift for awhile. She grabbed the box and headed down the corridor and taking the turbolift several decks down she stepped out and soon was outside his door. When it opened she shoved the box at him. “Tabris you have to help me! I’ve ruined it most likely, but maybe you can fix it?”

Tabris opened the door and Sharah would see a rather different looking quarters now that there were 4 little ones about. Besides the toys scattered around there were socks, shirts, and all manner of clothing items strewn around and a pile of laundry sitting on the sofa waiting to be folded. Tabris knew that he could replicate clothing for them but he wanted them to learn some discipline, and boy had that not happened yet! He smiled a little weaker than normal and was about to say something before a box was shoved in his hands and he looked at it with sleepy eyes. He didn’t say anything for a moment before blinking a bit and going “Oh!” He stepped back and said, “Please come in, sorry for the mess.” He walked over to the sofa and moved the pile of clothes to the floor to make room for her as he said, “Where did you find one of these? I haven’t seen one since I was a teenager. Heck, even when I was that young these were already surpassed by better technology.” Tabris was busy looking over the box and it’s workings when he looked up and said, “Julin, at least go put on some pants before climbing on Ms. Sharah…” Julin was going through the phase where he didn’t want to wear anything and Tabris was not ready for that. The older boys were in their room tinkering with something when they heard the visitor and Neltus was half way out the door and about to go say hello when Sharah would ‘hear’ Vedi saying, “Put a shirt on Neltus” The boy blushed and a wave of embarrassment washed over him as he ducked back into his room and then the two boys strolled out to sit cross legged on the floor, wondering what Tabris had in his hands. Julin came back with what was closest to a pair of sweats on and climbed up on Sharah and gave her a big hug. Mecona was taking a nap, the rustling might wake her but she seemed to sleep more soundly now that she has settled.
