<<A Joint Log between Kat Schawnsee and Arch Angelis>>

 

Kat had sat down on the couch in their quarters living area. She was struggling with the fact that they had found themselves within another time once again. She was trying hard to keep her emotions in check, but was beginning to falter. She looked up as Arch enters through the door and looks up to him with a worried look in her eyes. "Hi Arch," she says in a subtle voice.

 

Arch Angel had entered the room and literally dropped the potato soup and French bread onto the meager coffee table, as he looked into and onto the livid visage of his wife, Her long stare speaking quantum sentences without the first utterance.

 

She looked at the soup and bread on the table and looked back to Arch. "Hun? That looks good but..." she trails off knowing what he's going to say to her but she just wasn't in the mood to eat. She had to many things swirling in her mind. The visions of the Ship exploding once again and the vision of her husbands fighter being destroyed by the debris. "I'm just glad to see you." She stands and wraps her arms around his neck and begins to sob softly.

 

Angel gently pulled Schawnsee...into a full embrace...knowing all to well the circumstances from the "other" timeline...and kisses her gently on her cheek as to reinforce he is real..and not a mere phantom. Looking at her so defenseless and open had opened another part of Angel....the one that defied the present state of affairs on the Reaent...::.

 

"I'm sorry for making you bring something home. I'm just not hungry right now. Angel I know the ship is real. I know you are real. I just don't understand why the effect of the time being different is having such an effect on me." She leans her head against his shoulder once more. " I just don't know how much more I can take of this." The tears start welling up in her eyes as she talks.

 

Angel Gently strokes her face, " My little one, all is as it should be. I fully understand your crux....as it pertains to us, and this damn ship. As time goes along it is quite the "Damned Ship", hell instead of Reaent. It should have been named the Flying Dutchmen, but that is a place for rumors, and myths. I do know the personal hell you have been going through my love.... I assure you I will be along side you."

 

As Kat sobs with her face buried in his uniform, she continues. "Hun, I know you are here and always will be but I don't know how much more of this I can take. Even though you are here, I do not know how to explain it but that I still feel all alone." She takes a few breaths before continuing. "I just don't know where else to turn."

 

Angel looks down and with almost a totally clam cool voice says , "My love, if in doubt, where do we always turn to when in dire need? The Elders of course and the spirit that has been my own personal salvation through all that has occurred. And by the way my arms are always open and willing to hold you for all time, which ever eternity we are part of."

 

As soon as Angel spoke his last word, a message came over both of the com badges. "ALL DEPARMENT HEADS, REPORT TO THE CONFERENCE ROOM IN 10 MINUTES FOR A MEETING WITH THE CAPTAIN. HAVE ALL REPORTS READY AND IN HAND."

 

They bother looked at each other and stood for another minute just holding each other in their embrace neither wanting to let go.
