Teval and Hakaya managed to herd their five children into their Quarters, with Aerin and Karryn quietly following, when they found a surprise waiting for them in their quarters. Both Zarloos and Wukari where already there, with Silversnow and kittens in hand, and both Kiyuo and Nuyari immediately went over to investigate.

Zarloos regarded Teval and his merry band of companions. "Hello guys... welcome home... to the... ship.." was the words he settled on. "We looked after Silversnow for you as well as everything else... nothing is out of place... other then the cats.."

Nuyari immediately took one of Silvernow's kittens while Kiyuo took another, and Teval, smiling, replied," Thanks, that was helpful."

Looking at Wukari he then asked, "So how are your hands."

Wukari shook her head," Still not usable by much, but I do have good news. A couple days before you guys left, I got the neural interface chip, and I have been working on using it to fly again, and now it works out great, So i have been back on full flight status again."

Teval nodded, "Well, that's good to hear."

Zarloos nodded. "The pilots are living in fear of her indomitable wrath..."

Teval gave Wukari a look and she just shrugged it off, "Oh come on Teval, you know how I get."

Teval shook his head," No I don't, come to think of it, I've never really seen you get angry actually."

Wukari gave something of a depressed sigh, "Yeah, I've never been good at being the disciplinarian around here, but hey, as toxic as some of these pilots are, I've got the wicked witch on my side at least, among several others."

Wukari then got a better look on her face, saying, "Though on a positive note, I think the pilots are anxious to get you back Hakaya. Something about the insane Russian woman has them scare up the wall. They seem to consider you the lesser of the evil that's up there now."

Hakaya just looked perplexed when Teval, smiling, replied, "Well, Hakaya, I think Anastasia is putting you out of a job."

Hakaya gave a wicked smile, replying," Oh, so that's how it is huh, well, I think I got a little work to do."

Hakaya then looked at Kiyuo, whom was busy cuddling one of Silversnow's kittens, prompting Wukari to say," Well, you are a cute one, whats your name."

Kiyuo just looked at the kindly looking Wukari, replying," I'm Kiyuo."

Zarloos nodded his head. "Not much has happened... a lot of our pilots are improving.... Ironhide, Wicked Witch and their cronies are cracking down on them...."

Wukari then noticed that there where more kurokuri present than she thought, prompting her to say, "Wait, there are extra kids here, Teval, I thought Karryn only had three."

Teval nodded, "Well, Hakaya had Kiyuo and Yavi here, about two years in."

Wukari was now petting a purring Kiyuo, "Well, they are adorable."

Zara arrived to the feline quarters a few minutes later with a bottle of booze and a box of cigars in hand. She gently knocked on the doorframe so as not to be intrusive. "May I come in?"

Hakya looked back and seeing Zara, replied, "Oh, hey, yeah its fine, you can come."

"I'm glad to see all of you alive," Zara admitted wholeheartedly, then looked to Hakaya, "and I also wanted apologize for not looking in you you earlier, Hakaya."

Zarloos nodded to Zara. "Hey sir." he said quietly.

"Hello," Zara nodded to Zarloos. "I don't think I've met you before."

"I've been aboard for awhile now sir... one of your air controllers." he responded with a nod of his head.

"My XO says I should be more social," Zara admitted guiltily. "Perhaps she's right. You are, after all, an intriguing specimen of sentient."

"Commander Yamaguchi is a fascinating specimen of womanhood." Zarloos responded. "She seems to be able to get along with anyone.."

Hakaya just gave Zara a look, saying, "I'm not sure what you're apologizing for, but o.k."

"I didn't know you'd all be stuck in a temporal hell," Zara began a bit nervously. "...I wanted to tell you that what happened to you in the brig - about eight years ago for you... That it upset me, because what happened to you happened on my watch."

Hakaya's mood promptly turned sour, now having remembered that event, prompting her to say curtly, " There was nothing you could have done, that was the responsibility of that Bajoran woman."

"Ah... well..." Zara began a bit uncomfortable. Then handed Hakaya the box of cigars and the booze. "Call it a gift for the adults. The kids, I'll do tomorrow."

Hakaya nodded, taking the gifts, then setting them down on the table, while Yavi came up to Hakaya, holding one of silversnow's kittens. Hakaya gently rubbed Yavi's ear, prompting her to purr.

"Don't think your brother introduced this one to me," Zara admitted with a huge grin. They were adorable kittens, afterall.

Hakaya looked at Yavi, saying, "Oh, yeah, Yavi is one of mine, along with Kiyuo."

"Ah..." Zara was taken a bit off-guard for the moment. But she quickly recovered with, "Well I am truly happy for all of you."
