Paul Antilles guided the family runabout down to a smooth landing almost fifteen kilometres outside of the main colony of New Belfast. He looked around. Sorlora was sitting next to him at the co-pilot station. Patricia was asleep in the back. William was likewise asleep. Katrina was in the back, working on some science project and Michael was upfront. He was sitting in silence while he helped his dad fly the runabout. "Mike. How long do you think you'll need before you do your first solo flight?" Paul inquired of his eldest remaining child.

"Probably two or three weeks. Dad. I want to double-check some of my notes first. Make sure I have the speed limits right." Mike responded. "Intresting place, this is." he added.

"Well, Its New Belfast in the middle of summer," Paul answered with a gentle smile. "I've not been here in years," he added.

He began the landing sequence as he went about making the landing was as smooth as possible. Once the landing was finished. Paul turned to Mike. "Don't let anyone aboard the runabout once Sorlora and I leave. I'm also going to leave you in charge. Keep an eye on your siblings and don't let them leave."

"Yes dad." Mike did not sound unhappy that he wasn't going to get to visit the planet in the slightest. Paul turned to Sorlora. "Shall we?" he asked of her.

Sorlora nodded, "Yeah,.. you seem a little on edge, something wrong."

"It's been a long time since I set foot on this particular world. I've not thought about your family or spoken to them in years." Paul answered her softly. "We should take care of matters." he paused. "Ed was the only line to them that I had left. Until now." he sighed. "I doubt your family thinks well of me, but who knows." he then shrugged like he didn't care.

"So, why would they not think well of you," Sorlora asked.

"I've not talked to them since the end of the Dominion war. Granted we didn't part on bad terms... But I had no real reason to come and visit. Other than to remind them of you." Paul answered quietly.

Sorlora didn't quite buy that as his only reason, she suspected something more but she decided not to press for further details as the two of them approached the farm. Sorlora looked around the land noting, "I see dad is still a farmer."

"Yes, it looks like it," Paul answered. "Well, here we are," he commented. "Ed mentioned that this was the place," he added while the two past the gate. There was a road passing several large buildings and barns. Then there was the main settlement itself. The two made their way toward the family dwelling nearby. "Shall we go see who's home?" Paul asked Sorlora before he knocked on the door.

Sorora nodded, saying, "Yeah."

The door then opened, and a young Klingon male teenager opened the door, he didn't recognize either of them, "Uh, hello?"

Paul nodded. "Hello. I am Paul Antilles and this is Sorlora. We're looking for Edraks, or Pulkoli. Are either of them present?" he inquired of the teenager.
