Cochrane’s eyes lit up as he spoke about his sister. “My sister? She is a Science Officer in Star Fleet. Lieutenant Commander Racheal Cochrane. And I can tell you that she was so mad when I was named Captain of the Manhattan. All good-natured mad, of course. We have always been close, my sister and I. We have an older brother as well, but he tends to do his own thing. He is an Engineer. Star Ship designer for Utopia Planitia Shipyards. And we also have a step-sister, Stova. She is closer to Racheal, but we all get along really well. In fact, Racheal and my mother… well, technically my step-mother but I consider her my mine… were just here a few months ago for the wedding I told you about.”

“It must have been so lovely to spend some time with them. Do you get to see them often?” Said asked before she ate some more of the chowder.

Meanwhile, Kel was eating quietly, enjoying the dish (much to her surprise) and just taking in the conversation.

Cochrane shook his head. “No, not often. Even when I was stationed closer, the duties of commanding a start ship take up a great deal of time. Add to that the distance now separating us and the time it takes to get anywhere we could meet? I think that was the last time I will get to see them in person for some time.” and he snorted softly in slight derision at the situation. “I haven’t been home to Vulcan in over five years, now that I think about it.”

“What is it like there? It’s a hot planet, if I remember correctly from something I head someone say,” Kel said. “Though I could be easily confusing it.” There were a lot of Federation member worlds, after all.

Sair chewed on some bread, not allowing her mind to traipse down the path of measuring time. Not not. Maybe laster, but not now.
