Knock Knock. "Enter," Marius says, still looking down at his personal computer.

 

Brooke poked her head around the door, laughing. "You're still saying 'Enter,' after all this time?"

 

Marius looked up, smiling. "Sorry, old habits break hard. What's up?"

 

"Dinner's about ready. I figured you wouldn't leave your 'post' unless I told you to." Brooke pushed him playfully, and sat down next to Marius. "What are you doing?"

 

"Starfleet stuff. There's a new ship that just got built in the lunar shipyards, the USS Bohr. It's not big, just a Nova class starship, but it's completely new. It needs a crew, and so far, it seems like SF is going to assign me chief engineer onboard."

 

"That's great! Nova class... they're all high tech, right?"

 

"Yeah, it's a fairly new class. I'm leaving for Lunaport in a week." Marius looked around at his room, the room he used to occupy as a child, and sighed. "Thanks for letting me stay here. I know I've probably been a hassle, an extra mouth to feed."

 

Brooke smiled. "Not at all. I enjoyed your company." She looked back down at the computer screen, which had moved to a warping space screen saver. "Will you be able to visit often?"

 

Marius stared up at the ceiling. "Maybe... It depends on where we get posted to research. It is a science vessel, after all..." Marius looked back down, at Brooke. "But I still have week, and I plan to enjoy it fully. Starting with dinner." They smiled at each other, then left the room arms linked, while the computer screen continued to soar through the stars.

 

 

A small window of light flashed on in a box full of junk, hidden away inside the attic, followed by a soft set of beeps. The label "Lorin" could be seen on the side of the box from the light. In this window of light, a computer screen blinked, "Emergency notifications-Family" with two items listed underneath. The first, stated "Marius(tricorder)-rescued." The second, listed "Saril(Chronometer) Maria(tricorder)-distress call. Location: Romulus."
