Darush held up her hand, stopping Joshua at the door. "Let me do this alone. I really don't know how I'll take it, and I'd rather not break down in front of strangers." "Of course, I understand." Joshua watched as she entered her lab and smiled. Time to have some fun. Karyn and Kaleena turned as the door opened, and a tall Vulcan with a patch over her left eye entered. She froze as she stared at the red dress that Kaleena wore. The youngest of the three grimaced. "Too much skin?" "Not if you're looking for a mate." "Oh she's not looking for a mate. My daughter is just looking for sex." Karyn said with disapproval. "It's the curse of her people. They have to have it, or they go through withdrawals. I'm sure you know this already, Regina." "Is that my real name? Regina?" "Regina Kelly Sanders." Darush said with a nod. "Your father was an officer in Starfleet. He commanded the destroyer Khondo." "What happened to my father?" "The Ambassador says that he's retired, and living on Mars. It seems he never remarried after we disappeared. I'm going to have to have a talk with him about that when I get home. It was said that he was rather happy to hear that we were still alive. I can't wait to see my son as well." "I have a brother?" Karyn's face lit up. "William. I was told that he commands a destroyer squadron. It seems the Ambassador went to the academy with him. Now tell me about your husband." Karyn held her head high and smiled. "My husband was a commando in the Gran Army Of The Republic. He is now head of Montal Security, and is personally responsible for the safety of the Montal family and it's employees." "Don't forget that he's from the largest family in the galaxy." Kaleena added. "He has several million living brothers." Darush glanced from one woman to the other. "I take it he's a clone?" "The Grand Army was a clone army. But don't call them clones. They feel it makes them less Human." "I imagine so. But at least they didn't have to hide who they were like the Family. The Ambassador told me they no longer hide what they are." Darush said smiling. "They hated doing so." "You're not like Dr Sudak." Kaleena stared at her grandmother. "She says Vulcan's do not show emotion." "We don't show it in public." Darush corrected her. "And I'm not your average Vulcan. My parents taught at the University of Mars. So I grew up around the Family. And they tend to be rather emotional." The door opened and Melee stuck her head into the room. "We've been trying to get hold of you Kaleena. Did you turn your comlink off?" "Yes. I didn't want to be disturbed." "Well too bad. You need to come help us find Joshua. We think he's getting ready to go into withdrawals. We just got a call that he's running around scaring the crew. Ami's leading the hunt." Melee glanced at Darush. "So we'll need you to, ah, take care of him when we find him." "I can't." Kaleena said with a shrug. "Peenk has cut him off from other women. And don't forget, I work for her now." "We've already talked to her. She said she wants you to take care of him." Melee grinned. "Xin's gonna kick herself for flying back with the Runner. She's been wanting to get her hands on Josh so badly." "Melee!" Mark Berring's voice came over the ship's intercom. "He's just been spotted running around in engineering in a combat suit. And don't ask me where he got one." Kaleena and Melee ran out of the room. The two older women just shrugged and followed. "Now let me tell you about your father."
