::sees a familiar figure and approaches him:: XO: How's Kendi sir?
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:

<Computer> SO: Alert, Your appointment is in 10 minutes.  Repeating in 30 seconds
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:

::drums her fingers on her thigh as she paces::
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::sees Kendi stir in her sleep and places his hand on her back to help keep her asleep::
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
XO: Children are resilient.  They seem to bounce back from just about everything.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::finds his way to Misato's cafe, drops his bag at the door and yells out:: Misato-san!  Where are you?
Kelandra Ahkileez says:
::wonders how she'll strangle the XO once she gets a chance to.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods and looks back:: SO: Yes they are. ::manages a smile:: She'll be okay. And she'll never remember this later.
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::trying hard to ignore the waves of anger still coming off his wife::
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
XO: Let us hope she doesn’t.
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods again:: SO: That's the plan... ::looks at his daughter again, tempted by how easy it would be for him to remove the memory from her mind::
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Looks at Jyg, almost sensing what he is thinking::

XO: That would not be fair to her, and you know it.
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
<Dr_Payne> ::approaches the Ahkileez room, chart-padd in hand::
Kelandra Ahkileez says:
::looks up to see someone and watches her carefully::
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::says under his breath:: Self: It wasn't fair for her to get hurt either. She's just a baby.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
<Misato> ::makes her way out of the back of the bar and gasps in astonishment:: Ikari: Shinji-kun!  What on Earth are you doing here?!  ::rushes over and hugs him::
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
<Dr_Payne> Kela: Doctor Ahkileez?
Kelandra Ahkileez says:
::nods:: Payne: Yes.  I am she.  ::tries to smile despite the situation.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
<Dr_Payne> ::offers her hand:: Kela: I'm Doctor Payne. Elizabeth will do, though. I was assigned to oversee your daughter's recovery.
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks back up at Semaj:: SO: Would you like to sit down?

::Reaches down to touch the girl:: XO: No, but thank you for the offer.
Kelandra Ahkileez says:
::looks at the hand for a moment -- puzzled since she's still in a bit of shock.:: self: oh right... ::shakes it::  Dr: I'm sure you're one of the best there is.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
<Misato> ::looking concerned:: Ikari: What's wrong?
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
<Dr_Payne> ::smiles:: Kela: I do what I can. Would you like to see what we've found?
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: you have any younger siblings, Semaj? Nieces or nephews?
Kelandra Ahkileez says:
::summons all her Vulcan training skills and contains her anxiety. And saying rather calmly.::  Dr: Yes.  I would like to see what you have found.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
Misato: Nothing, nothing.  It's just so nice to be home.  ::looks around::  Where's Kaji?
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Once touching the child, he brushes her mind and is satisfied that there is little pain for her:: XO: I have a sister, she is just 7yrs my junior.  Other than that, no.
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
<Dr_Payne> ::offers the padd:: Kela: Simply put, she looks fine. The swelling in her brain has gone down so she should come out of her coma soon. We had to be careful with the medications we used on her since she's so young, so the burns are going to take a little longer to heal.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
<Misato> ::snorts:: Ikari: Away on business again.  Some husband, huh?  Never around to look after me.  ::winks::  What brings you home?
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
XO: I am bonded, and hope to have a family of my own some day.
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: Have you met your betrothed?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
Misato: Shore leave, believe it or not.  You really don't want to hear about Starfleet junk, though.  Come, tell me anything new.  ::leads them both to a table where the chat for the remainder of the day::
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
XO: Only 1 time since the bonding.  I find her, ::thinks of the words to say, then settles on:: interesting.
OPS_Ens_Shepard says:
:: comes across two old friends in the park:: Kyle/Caitlin:  How are you two doing?
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::smiles:: SO: You'll find her more so when you're... ready for her.
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Looks at Jyg, then raises an eyebrow:: XO: I am sure I will.
OPS_Ens_Shepard says:
<Kyle>  Alex: Nothing much, just saying good bye.  What about u Alex, what are you doing?
OPS_Ens_Shepard says:
<Caitlin> :: looks at the ground not speaking::
Kelandra Ahkileez says:
::takes the PADD and looks at it, unsurprised since she kind of figured all that out.::  Dr: That’s wonderful news.
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::laughs softly and picks up a small toy that had fallen off Kendi's bed and puts it back on there::
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
<Dr_Payne> ::retrieves the padd and nods:: Kela: I agree, Mrs. Ahkileez. Perhaps we should tell your husband the good news?
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
XO: What about you, any siblings of your own?
Kelandra Ahkileez says:
::looks sour for a moment:: Dr: I suppose so.  ::tightens her lips a little:: If you want.. I can tell him myself, since you're probably a very busy doctor in charge of many children in this ward.
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: Yes. Three actually. A brother and two sisters - all older than I. My parents are here on Earth, though.
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
<Dr_Payne> ::raises a brow in mild surprise at the face, but doesn't allude to it.:: Kela: If you wish. I can come with you, but if you feel confident, I could use the time to check on a few other children.
Kelandra Ahkileez says:
::smiles a bit more:: Dr: I am pretty sure, doctor.
OPS_Ens_Shepard says:
Kyle: The same.  It’s a surpise finding you and Caitlin here.  I thought that you two would have already shipped out.
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Looks down for a moment, then regains his composure:: XO: That must be a good circumstance for you.
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
<Dr_Payne> ::smiles:: Kela: All right, Mrs. Ahkileez. I'll be back to check on her in about 20 minutes. ::nods and walks off down the corridor, ducking into another room::
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks at him:: SO: Most times, yes. By their working on Earth, I was born here. And I always thought growing up here was better than growing up on Vulcan. But that's my admittedly bias opinion.
Kelandra Ahkileez says:
::watches the other doctor go, and glances at the door where Kendi, Jyg, and Semaj are, and wonder if she should go in there.::
OPS_Ens_Shepard says:
<Caitlin>  :: looks up at Alex:: Alex: We thought that you had already shipped out as well.  :: wipes her eyes with her sleeve:: We're waiting for our shuttles to dock.
OPS_Ens_Shepard says:
Caitlin:  My new ship is currently docked in orbit, and her crew are on shore leave.  So I'm still here.  Cait, what was your assignment?
OPS_Ens_Shepard says:
<Kyle>:: Sits there and listens::
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
XO: My father is a professor emeritus at the Vulcan Science Academy and my mother is with the Diplomatic Corps from Vulcan, the undersecretary to the Ambassador, so I spent most of my time without them.  Now I have trouble connecting with them.
Kelandra Ahkileez says:
::takes a few deep breath to calm her nerves and compose herself -- physically,  mentally, and emotionally before pushing the doors and enters the room.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks up:: SO: Well, that' a coincidence. My sister's an ambassador, she works out of the--:: notices Kela's entrance::
OPS_Ens_Shepard says:
<Caitlin>  Alex:  I've been assigned as an engineer at Utopia Planitia and Kyle has been assigned as a security officer onboard the USS Draconis.
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Turns and walks to the window, to hide the wave of emotion that passes over his face::
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks at Semaj's back and then turns to his wife:: Kela: You've heard something?
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Once composed, he turns to face the couple and listen to the news::
Kelandra Ahkileez says:
::looks at Jyg as she speaks to them both:: SO/XO: Dr. Payne says that she'll be just fine, and that she'll be coming out of her coma soon enough.
OPS_Ens_Shepard says:
:: is suddenly depressed:: Caitlin: I see.  :: looks at his chronometer:: Kyle/Kyle: I have to go and report to my post.  I hope to see you two later.  Please write. :: he turns away and leaves a joyous chapter of his past sitting on a bench in a park heading for his future::
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::smiles broadly, wanting to gather her up in his arms and give her a kiss, but resists, unsure of how she will react:: Kela: That's great, Reldai... just great.
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Nods at the good news and tries not to react any stronger than that::
Kelandra Ahkileez says:
::forces to smile:: XO/SO: Yes.. that's what I told her.  Wonderful news.
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::keeps the smile on his face and turns back to the baby, leaning down to kiss her head:: Out loud: You heard that, sweetie? You're going to be just fine. Then we're going to take you back to your sister and brother.
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::His hearing detects a slight wavering in her voice:: Kela: There is more though?
Kelandra Ahkileez says:
::shifts her gaze to look at the ensign:: SO: For now.. the good news is enough.  ::softens her look a little:: She's going to be fine and will pull through and recover fully.  That brings no greater joy to her parents.
Kelandra Ahkileez says:
SO: We just never know when she'll pull out of coma as that's unpredictable... but the doctor is sure that she will.  So, that's a good thing.
