That actually seemed to perk Jason up some. “Now that is bitha very logical concern… and also one I an uniquely equipped to handle. Now… with your approval and consent of course… I can change things so it would appear you never had anything to do with him. Hell, I can even change your whole name and personnel record if you wanted me to. But that could be a bit much right now. I can edit and modify all of his records, files, personal logs… anything. As far as anyone doing a search could find, you two would have never even met.i can even steer inquires away from the Saracen so they can’t ask anyone about the two of you. If that’s what you want, anyway.”

Remove their connection? Hannah could see the need for it, the practicality of it. She knew what Daniel had done was dangerous. If it was her, just her, well that was her decision and her life, but it wasn’t just her anymore was it? But change her name? Who she was, where she came from, her service history? What about her parents? Her colony? What about Alexis? She’d be beside herself (in a very Alexis like way). Lt Mika knew about her and Daniel. She knew about the baby and Daniel disappearing. This was…overwhelming. “I....I don’t know.” She looked around the room that suddenly felt very small. “Can we discuss this somewhere else? Anywhere else.”

“Of course.” Jason said and he waited till she was ready and followed her out.

As they left Ok’jiv stopped them to give Hannah a small PaDD. “Call if you need anything.” Hannah nodded, “Thank you, Ok’jiv. Also, what Jason asked you for, it’s fine. We discussed it, it’s okay with me.” Ok’jiv nodded, “Of course.” She nodded to them both and stepped into another room with another patient. Hannah led the way out of the hospital, slipping the PaDD into her pocket.

Hungry? Jason signed. Or just walk and talk?

A smile touched her lips, but didn’t quite make her eyes. I am hungry. Besides, I think if I don’t eat, you and O-k-j-i-v will gang up on me. Walking and talking sounds good too. Maybe we find a new place to eat at the same time? The Ginger Man did have good food, but Hannah needed some distance from all the obvious baby oriented things. I… she turned towards him as they walked, I think I need a minute to let everything sit and turn over. It’s just so much.
