Location: EARTH, WALES
Stardate: 2.70324.2104
Scene: Zanders Family Home
An arm flopped out of the bed, and thrashed about for
a bit, as if looking for an alarm to slap off.
“It’s a communication.” Ty’s voice sounded muzzy with
sleep. “You’d better get it.”
There was a groan and then Maddie’s tousled head
appeared from under her quilt, and grabbing a large
dressing gown she slid from the bed and over to her
desk. Punching in her codes to activate the system,
she slouched onto a white whicker chair.
{{Sorry did we wake you?}} Daisy’s familiar face
appeared on the small screen.
“Yeah you got me up.” Maddie yawned and regarded her
friend, “How was the birth?”
{{Not bad.}} Daisy shrugged that matter off, {{both
bouncing boys.}}
“Two annoying fathers?”
{{Yeah driving us all mad.}} Daisy seemed to be
listening to someone on the other side of her monitor,
after a few seconds she nodded. {{Can you join us in
San Fransisco?}}
“Yeah, we were planning on leaving in the next day or
so.” Maddie smiled up at Ty and accepted the steaming
mug of Vulcan Coffee he handed her. “Thanks love.”
Daisy seemed to be collecting her thoughts, {{How is
everyone one?}}
“We are all fine thanks.” Maddie leant back and
smiled, “How’s the rest of the family?”
{{Driving me mad.}} Daisy steepled her fingers, {{We
need you over here at these dispositions Mads.}}
“That bad?”
{{Let’s just say that we have a situation.}} Her ExO
admitted, {{You are the final member of crew and they
are insisting that you be recalled.}}
Maddie shrugged, “I was expecting that.”
{{A Commander Remmermen has been digging and making
two plus two equal four and a half.}}
“Have you talked with Fleet Admiral Catherine
Seamore?”
{{Yes but she can only cover our backs so far.}}
“Is Harper still with you?”
{{Yes.}}
“Alright.” She glanced up at the clock that hung on
her bedroom wall, “I can be in San Fransisco by
14:00.”
{{I’ll meet you off of your transport.}}
“I need to speak with Harper.”
Daisy smirked, “He said can he speak with you later on
today?”
{{Yeah.}} Maddie spotted the sparkle and gleam in her
friend’s eyes, “Why do I get the impression you know
something that I don’t?”
{{Mads I always know things that you don’t.}} This
time Daisy did laugh, {{That’s my job.}}
“Yeah, yeah.” Maddie reached forward, “I’ll speak to
you later.”
Ty had already opened their wardrobe and a fresh
uniform lay on the bed. “I’ll see to the kids and
also inform Ronnie.”
“Thanks Cariad.” She stretched as she walked towards
him, her dark eyes glanced at their rumpled bed, “I
had hoped for another day or two.”
Ty smiled gently, “We’ll be able to have some down
time. We can take the kids around the sites.”
“Yeah I guess so.” She reached up and stroked his
cheek, “I’m gonna miss this of a morning.”
“This or this?” With that he bent his head and kissed
her.

Time Index: 14:00 hours
Location: Star Fleet
Scene: Transporter Pad
Mad’hron Zanders had managed to control her soft curls
by pulling it into a rough loop and clamping it into
place. With her hair up, if emphasized her ears, and
made her look more Vulcan then ever.
Ronnie Zanders materialized next to her *twin*, her
much shorter and choppier hair made the Engineer look
even more elflike. Half of her face was still covered
by the white mask she had been wearing and she
studiously ignored the looks she was receiving.
Both Zanders glanced around and spotted Daisy and
Drake waiting for them. Together the sisters moved
confidentally forward.
Without preamble Maddie started talking, “What’s this
Commander like?”
“Boorish.” Drake admitted and smirked, “Though I
don’t know what he made of our esteemed ExO here?”
Ronnie sniggered, “Wait till he meets Mads.”
Maddie shrugged, “I thought Harper would be with you?”
“He’s resting…” Daisy tried to cover for their
superior. “You look better Ronnie.”
“I feel better.” Ronnie shrugged, “Perhaps getting
married does that for you?”
Daisy whooped and Drake smiled, “Congratulations.”
“My thanks.” Ronnie smiled gently.
“Did you get me a meeting with Admiral Seamore?”
“Yes but we think that Commander Remmerman will butt
in.”
“I certainly hope so.” Maddie laughed and led the
way.

Scene: Fleet Admiral Catherine Seamore's Office
The two Zanders sat quietly on the other side of the
Admiral's desk. She meanwhile had been reading
through the various PADDs they'd brought with her.
"Well it will certainly clear up some of his more
contraversial points."
Maddie blinked, "I don't like my crew being put under
observation Admiral, regardless of what the situation
is." She paused, "And I dislike the fact that this
man is stepping over his boundaries."
"I know." Catherine sighed, yes "I honestly do not
know where he heard of the PROPHECY."
Drake shrugged from where he was standing by the door,
"It doesn't matter does it. He has." He calmly
stated.
"What about hypnotism?" Maddie suggested, "We could
make him forget?"
"It certainly has merits." Daisy sniggered, "Though
so far we've only answered questions regarding to
ANDULUSIA VII."
Catherine nodded, "But that might change when he
realises that Captain Zanders is here."
Ronnie sighed, "I'm so sorry guys."
"Hey." Maddie looked at her twin, "What did we agree
before we arrived?"
"That I'd stop apologising." Ronnie shrugged, "I
still have a lot of explaining to do."
"And it has been explained." Catherine hurried to
reassure the other Zanders female. "But I am not in
charge of these dispositions." She glanced once more
at the files in front of her, "However, these will
smooth a lot of things over." Catherine looked over
her desk, "How did you get them?"
The two *sisters* smirked, and they both started
laughing. "Easy really, Ty's our family's Pyllora.
And records are so easy to alter. Besides our DNA is
exactly the same, apart from Ron's BORG strand."
Daisy and Drake exchanged strange looks, "What exactly
have you two done?"
"Us?" Maddie rose to her feet, "Nothing. We'll meet
you in the debriefing room."
-[/\]-
Scene: Debriefing Room
Ronnie had entered first and sat quietly to one side
on her own. Daisy spotted her from the doorway and
came and sat besides her. "Mad'hron?"
"Waiting to make her entrance." Ronnie admitted. "Is
everyone here?"
"More or less." Daisy shrugged, "We've been attending
all of the debriefings." She glanced up and hid a
laugh. "I believe we're about to start."
Commander Rennerman took his seat, and his eyes lit up
when he spotted Ronnie sitting on the front row. He
shuffled his papers. "I believe that we'll start with
Lieutenant Zanders, this afternoon."
Ronnie rose to her feet and smoothed her uniform as
she moved to the seat in the centre of the room. The
gold collar on her uniform seemed to be the only
colour in the dimly lit central area.
"You are Lietenant Zanders?"
"Yes, sir." Ronnie spoke quietly but there was a
determination in her voice.
"And you serve on the GATEWAY STATION as their CEO?"
"Yes sir."
"But you used some of your holidays to go and help
your friends on ANDULUSIA VII?"
"Yes sir." She regarded Rennermen with her cool dark
eyes, "But this is all public knowledge sir."
"Then shall we get to the point?"
"As you wish." Ronnie carefully clasped her hands on
her lap.
"How did you get into this dimension?" Rennerman
demanded.
"I was born here sir." Ronnie lied smoothly.
"Here?"
"Yes sir." The exBorg smiled sweetly, "I was born on
EARTH at the same time as my twin."
"Ah yes Captain Mad'hron Zanders." He steepled his
fingers, "Strange that you both share the first name
is it not?"
"There are extenuating circumstances.... Sir."
"And they would be?"
"Shortly after my birth I was to be sent to VULCAN but
the ship I was on was assimilated." She shrugged, "My
parents thought I had been killed. It was only when I
was *rescued* that I took the name of Ronnie."
"Could you explain to us here why there are no records
of your birth?"
"I think you'll find that there are..." Again she
paused, "Sir."
The doors opened and Mad'hron stepped through. She
calmly walked down the stairs and dropped the various
files onto Rennermen's desk.
"These are the records of my *twin's* birth. Her
passage to VULCAN. A statement from our parents,
which has been witnessed by a Vulcan Pyllora whilst
under S'At." She dropped another load of PADDs,
"These state when and were Ronnie was rescued and also
her acreditation by the BORG of this quadrant."
Mad'hron stated calmly, "I belive that should cover
everything."
Rennermen glanced through the papers, "I don't
understand?"
"I think you do, Commander." Mad'hron nodded to his
desk, "This completes your investigation of my crew.
These debriefings are at an end as of now."
"But Captain, there is still one question left to be
answered?"
"Oh?" Mad'hron raised an eyebrow.
"Yes the USS PROPHECY?" He tried to keep his face
neutral.
"Ah." Maddie leant forward onto his desk, "You wish
to know about the USS PROPHECY?"
Rennermen tried to control his rising excitement.
"Indeed."
"Have you ever located any mention of such a ship in
your records?"
"Well no..."
"And are there any records of this vessel having been
given a crew?"
"No..."
"And is there a home birth for this alleged vessel?"
"No."
"I think Lieutenant that you'll find this ship is a
figment of your overly active imagination. I and my
crew serve on the USS SHAMERAN." She rose to her full
height, "Now I believe that concludes everything."
She turned to face her crew, "You are all dismissed,
thank you for your time."
"I'm in charge here."
"I think Commander that you will find as a Captain I
still outrank you." She smiled sweetly, "So that will
be all..." She headed up the steps but paused halfway
up, "Oh and Commander if I find that you have been
harresing any member of my crew, I'll have your head
on a platter." With that she turned and left the
room.
