In the captain’s quarters, the comm signalled in incoming call. It was from the Alpha Quadrant, specifically the USS Athena. He and Faye hadn’t made plans to talk this week, but this call was rather unexpected.

Far across the galaxy, the comm station in the personal cabin of the Commanding Officer of the USS Manhattan lit up. Alex looked at the screen and then set aside the cello he had been running and answered the call.

When the call connected, Faye grinned. =/\=Yo! How’s it goin’?=/\= she said to Alex, leaning back in her chair. She was in off-duty clothes and wearing one of her many sloganed t-shirts. This one was black with white text that said You couldn’t even handle me if I came with instructions.

Fleet Captain Alexander Cochrane sat, surprisingly, in a chair in his quarters. He was in a light grey Henley-style long sleeved shirt with two buttons at the top. He smiled at the screen, the ice blue eyes gleaming as he saw Faye’s face. “Well, well… she lives!” and he laughed. ” You know I’ve sent you four messages and I haven’t got a single reply back. Keep that up and I’ll have you transferred back to the Delta.” he said with a grin

She burst out laughing, that familiar glint in her eyes appearing. =/\=I have no doubt you could and would do that, but all I will say is that I really don’t think you want to take on Daggum. He’s pretty attached to my being here now.=/\=

“You should know by now, I am sacred of two people in the universe.” Alec replied with a laugh. “And your husband is nothing compared to my mother or my sister.” and he laughed again.

Her expression softened. =/\=As for not responding… I’m sorry. It’s just been… a lot lately, especially after the whirlwind of impromptu time off to go see my parents and sister. But I should know better. I’ll do better, promise.=/\= Her tone was as adamant as it was remorseful.

“It happens, Faye. Now worries.” Alex said supportively. “So to what do I owe the joyous pleasure of this call?”

She folded her arms across the desk and her eyes lit up. =/\=Well, out of all the drama that my little trip to see the fam generated, there were some interesting things that came up. One involves you.=/\= Faye smirked. =/\= My sister Nadine needs to get off Earth, go somewhere and do something. She needs a change. She’s a primary teacher with early childhood qualifications and I was wondering if the Manhattan had room for another teacher. Mom seems certain she’ll pass the security checks, so the only variables in the way are whether there is a need for a teacher, and if you are willing to take on another civilian. I’ve been filling her in on some of the protocol and regulation stuff she’ll have to be aware of and follow.=/\=
