Commander Torilla Yamaguchi sighed softly as she sipped her drink, she looked miserable as she turned her head, she heard the door open as she spotted the other two people she had invited out for lunch.

"Teval, over here.."

Teval walked over with Hakaya. Both of them where still very thin, but the fur was at least in better condition. Teval sat down at one chair and Hakaya sat next to him. "So what is it," He asked," You dont sound so happy."

Torilla wanted to cry. "Did you guys have issues with Saki while she was growing up?" she sighed. "she's causing my family all kinds of havok... Gyce and Phoenix too.."

Teval looked a bit surprised," O.K. No she didn't really seem so bad when on the planet. Yeah she gave us a couple of scares when she wandered off in the middle of the night, but Takov and Nuyari also did it a couple of times to, and Kiyuo did it once."

Torilla raised an eyebrow. "Saki is terrified of the dark... the EPS conduits also terrify her for some reason... she's out of control... nobody can handle her.. and a lot of us have been through a great deal."

Hakaya perked up, saying, "Wait, how bad is Saki acting out."

"She's always angry... a couple of days ago.. she was taunting Beastie with a tribble.." she responded. "she acted like she was enjoying it.."

Teval frowned, saying," We don't have that problem with any of our kids. Other than the occasional complaints of boredom, or one of them peeling a panel off the wall out of curiosity, we haven't had much trouble. Nuyari has really been the biggest troublemaker, but the worst she ever does is getting into things she isn't supposed to. Other than that, there hasn't been any real acting out."

Torilla paused. "Saki has always been a special case... I don't know how to help her.. " the older woman sighed. "I've raised three children to adulthood... I've had discipline cases.. Elizabeth and Gabriel at different times.... but nothing on this level."

Teval sighed, then mentioned," Torilla, you have only known Saki for three months, that is not enough to make an impact. Plus, your raising the twins as the same time, plus in the last month, you have been dealing with Ayrissa, on top of dealing with 8 cats as well. To add to that, we have this stupid drug issue pop up on the ship, and now we are up to our necks in tribbles. Your overwhelmed, severely."

Torilla held her silence as she processed it. "Your right... fortunately ... I know exactly who to call for help."

Teval and Hakaya both sat in silent thought, then Teval asked," So what do you think is causing Saki's outbursts."

"She doesn't seem to be liking anything on this ship at all." Torilla responded.

Teval sighed quietly, " well, our kids haven't had many issues adjusting."

Then Hakaya thought of something, "Wait a minute, How much have people actually paying attention to her over the past couple of months."

"It started with Myself, Jake, Gyce who was primarily looking after her, Siaxx and Phoenix, with help from Elizabeth and Kameron." Torilla explained. "Due to various events... everyone has become busy dealing with other events...like planing for the wedding, the Aryssa situation, the drugs issue, Elizabeth getting the crap beaten out of her by Tienn." Torilla sighed. "she's been neglected by just about everyone... Jake is pretty much the last one left."

"Yeah and Saki hasnt been around our kids much either," Teval replied," With them under their own tutor, they haven't seen Saki much either."

Torilla sighed. "Shit." she muttered softly.

Hakaya just set her head down on the table, "We have had no shortage of problems lately."

Torilla nodded. "I know.. Its been never ending recently." she sighed softly.
