Description
V'reenda tapped the Human on his shoulder. She was going to ask if he could tell her where she could find some of the Federation doctors. Much to her surprise though, when he turned about, she found herself facing the man she'd seen take down Matt Corzo outside the Starfarer Club, The ambassador, Joshua Kirk.
"Ah, it's nice to meet you again." He said in a genial tone.
"You remember me?" She asked, stunned that he did. When he'd taken Matt down, he might have glanced at her for a half second.
"I have a perfect memory." He told V'reenda. "For instance, there were three prostitutes, two female, one male, talking about their nights customers about seventy feet away. About thirty feet in the other direction were four men engaging in a Glitterstim deal that was ready to go south."
"Go south?"
"Slang for go bad. They were to the point of pulling their blasters when the police showed up. That was when they cleared out." Joshua then cocked his head to the side. "Then there was you. Standing next to you was a Mandalorian of the Aliit Bessa. I'd met him briefly on Concord Dawn about three weeks earlier. And of course, there was the man in that ridiculous pink bodysuit, with the red boots."
"Baffa D'Oriley. He owns the Starfarer."
"Yes. Though I got the feeling that his appearance is just a facade to throw people off."
"It is." V'reenda agreed. "He was once an Imperial commando." Joshua nodded.
"Well, how can I help you?" He asked.
"I'm looking for these Federation doctors. I'm here to see my mother. She's in stasis, I think they call it. And I'm also here to find out more about where I'm from."
"What do you mean?" Kirk asked, puzzled.
"I was talking with a friend who was on Coruscant recently." V'reenda explained. "She told me about an ability you people have to connect to a computer. That you have a hole in the back of your head where you insert a cable of some kind."
"One of these." Joshua said as he pulled his link from his pocket. "It's called a link. We can also connect to each other as well. Now tell me why you wish to know this?"
"Because I have a small hole in the back of my head."
"Well, you do look like you could be half Kouree." Joshua told her. "But There should be none here. There were none on Excalibur, Moscow, or among the doctors and the embassy staff that are here." V'reenda pulled out a holoprojector and switched it on. Floating before Joshua was a ship that he knew.
"I was found as a baby on this ancient ship, in suspended animation."
"That's King George V." Kirk paused for a second. "What do you know about the wormhole?"
"Pretty much what everyone else does. I know about the battle there, and the destruction of the hyper matter reactor that opened it."
"Well, that ship and two others like it were comeing through the wormhole when the reactor blew. We thought they were destroyed." Joshua shook his head. "It looks like they got caught up in some temporal displacement."
"Temporal displacement?" V'reenda asked. It was her turn to be confused.
"They went back in time." Joshua thought for a moment. "It looks like we now know how Human's ended up in this galaxy."
"Just where is this ship?"
"I'd have to ask my mother's brother. They were the ones who found me."
"Well I tell you what." Joshua Kirk said as he steered her down the hall. "We have a comm center here at the hospital. We can make a call to the Federation and find out who your parents were. They'll know who was on those ships. Let's find out who you are."
