"I actually did bring a copy of my service record... As well as the paperwork to go with it..." T'Lin answered quietly. "I brought it along for reading reasons..." as she pilled an isoliner chip from her pants pocket. She placed it onto the table before she gently slid it across to T'Sara who gently palmed it. "I'll have my guys give this the once over."

Orthos raised an eyebrow. "Where would you fit into this family...?"

T'Sara opened her mouth to answer but it was T'Lin who answered. "That will be for you to discuss at another time... You'll need to inform all other members and have them gathered together. If... That's possible and discuss the matter among yourselves... That is also if... I pass muster."

Daisy laughed. "You pass muster just fine. I especially like the part where you didn't try to kill us."

Orthos raised an eyebrow. "Indeed. I was expecting trouble," he commented. "But your right. We should still gather everyone so they can decide for themselves," he added.

T'Sara regarded her double. "What will you do now?"

"I'll go with you, fill out the refugee paperwork and see what your universe holds for me... Maybe it'll surprise me... Or maybe it won't." T'Lin simply shrugged as if the matter was of no concern to her. "Still. The food was excellent," she commented to Orthos and Daisy. "My compliments to the Chef... I also thank you for your hospitality." as she gently bowed her head ever so slightly. With that, she departed the house with her twin next to her.

"Did you actually intend them harm,?" T'Sara inquired.

"No. I know nothing about this strange reality... This world for example is a lovely one. Yet where I come from. It's a burnt-out husk..." T'Lin explained. "Besides. I was curious... I wanted to know if your Orthos was anything like my Orthos..." she paused. "You took in my son as he had never expected to see me... I know I would find it a little far-fetched but I can see why my son would remain here... With you."

"Istvan is many things, he is not stupid... He knows I am not his mother... But I did take him in..." T'Sara answered as she tapped her combadge. "T'Sara to security team five. Fall back to the beam in beam site. Mission accomplished guys. Fall back to me."

A moment later a half dozen other people all seemed to emerge from various areas as they all moved over to the Admiral. T'Lin stood in silence as she regarded them with curiosity. They did not look like any kind of police officers she had ever seen. One of them even winked at her.

T'Sara tapped her combadge. "T'Sara to Mountbatten... Eight to beam up." and with that, the small group was teleported away as a gentle gust of wind blew through, erasing any traces of the personnel that had just been standing in the open space a moment earlier.
