James sat in the center chair of the frigate Rio Aureo, an ensign satay the Navigation center off to his left. "Three seconds to departure from Warp, Colonel." James nodded his acknowledgment. And the star streaks reverted to pinpoints. "Hail Byron." The screen lot with a very young looking Warrant Officer in the viewer. "This is the Frigate Rio Aureo of the New Texan Navy. Permission to dock, and a patch through to Kinsey Calhoun requested." James looked over to the Ops Station where Zoe was pulling double duty. The Austin Industries concept on the Defiant class was running severely understaffed. |

Zoe banged her fist against the console and cursed vehemently. "Whoever assembled this needs to be shot and then shoved out an airlock! I've never seen a less responsive console in my life, and I studied archaic tech at the academy in my spare time!" |

James laughed at her. It was so strange being back in space with her. They'd been dirt side for a year. Dealing with the aftermath of his father's death followed by the siege by the Imperium. Still the same beautiful, fiery Zoe he had married. He stroked Houston's long muscular back. The 'cat had fought, killed, and bled with him through the siege while The rest of his family, human and tree cat alike sheltered in the massive bunkers constructed during the early days of the siege. "It's going back to New Texas after the crew gets a few days leave, Zo'". |

"They can keep the damn thing!" Zoe called. "I am shocked this piece of junk got us this far. Couldn't they have given us a real ship? Hell, even a shuttlecraft would've been better than this!" |

Kinsey was sitting at her desk in the Naval Intelligence office looking over the data they had recovered from the Imperium ship sitting docked at the station. The team had done an excellent job in recovering vital data as well as a ship. The data it's self was rather fascinating but what was beginning to fascinate her even more was the sudden call coming into her communication terminal. When Hill told her who it was she almost didn't believe it. "Webster," Kinsey inquired as she activated the screen and his cowboyish features filled it. "And is that Zoe I hear?"

He grinned back at Kinsey and tipped the ever present black cowboy hat to her. "The one and the same." He winced as he heard a clang, who knew what she had tried the old hit-it-till-it-works method one. "A year away and my beautiful bride still can't get enough of New Texan engineering principles." He smiled, "Heaven only knows what all has happened since we left. We are docking in a few minutes. Sorry for being gone so long Kinsey. Never expected Tiberius to slap us with a full on invasion force." |

"You've missed a lot and I'm glad you didn't fall victim to the rumors I might be sleep with him." Kinsey stated with a grin. "I'd have to slap you. But we've got a lot of surprises to throw at you. Make sure you pop an aspirin before you dock. Trust me you'll need it." |

"Your tech sucks!" Zoe called absently, trying to reattach the panel that had flown off the console when she had hit it. Percussive maintenance normally worked, but on this hunk of junk it would take more effort. |

"Glad you're back to Zoe I don't think this station has run right since you left." Kinsey said with a grin as she heard Zoe yelling in the background. |

But Zoe was "in the zone" and was not paying any attention to the main view screen. "Stupid archaic crap-for-tech!" she said, kicking the panel back into place. |

He grinned back at Zoe. "You'd only be in his bed to choke the life out of him. The Ice Bitch viewed the Siege once. Even tried to convince us that Terra Alpha had fallen. That you had betrayed the Ryders." He glanced down. "Any word on Travis?" |

"I'd be careful if I were you Webster you might not have a ship by time you dock." Kinsey teased with a grin and then her face became solemn at James' question. "I'm sorry I haven't."

James felt the long absent vibration as docking clamps locked onto the hull. "See you in ten, Kinsey. Webster, clear." +Naval Intelligence Office+ James with a recently awoken Adana on his shoulder, Houston's tail lying protectively across her from his other shoulder, walked with Zoe, following a Lieutenant in Intel grays to Kinsey's office. She opened the door, "Colonel and Commander Webster to see you ma'am." |

Kinsey was already on her feet and half way across her office before the door closed behind them. She paused in front of them a string of emotions playing across her features before she finally gave in and hugged Zoe and then moved to hug James but couldn't quite figure out how she was going to manage it. "Gods its been years and it looks like you haven't aged a day." Kinsey exclaimed before she realized her error and then sighed. It hadn't been years for them it had only been one. "Grozit sometimes I forget it hasn't been years for everyone. But its still good to see all three of you and look she's getting so big reminds of when Mac was little." |

James grinned and turned Adana around to face Kinsey. "Adana, this is your Aunt Kinsey. I know you probably don't remember her, but she's been a friend to Mommy and Daddy for a long time." Adana's eyes were the pure black of a Betazoid tinged with golden flecks. They stared intently at Kinsey, before her soft voice spoke, "I think I remember you, Aunt Kinsey. From before Daddy had to go fight the bad men." He brushed Adana's hair with his fingers. "What do you mean....it hasn't been years for everyone?" |
