I glanced at the viewer that showed the boarding hatch and saw two people, one I recognized as my mother but the other was a stranger, “Open the screens and the hatch for our guests Allie. Tell them we will be there shortly.” “Yes my husband.” I stood up and looked around, “Where did you put your hover chair?” It appeared in front of me and I helped her into her chair. I smiled as I walked into the boarding lobby. Mom smiled and embraced me before I finally sighed and pulled back, “Dad’s dead mom.” She nodded, “They told me.” I nodded and she sighed, “Somehow I knew…” I looked at the stranger standing at the hatch. Mom finally cleared her throat, “Where are my manners. Charles, this is Prince David.” She smiled at me, “He’s our mentor at the college and wanted to meet you.” I knew something was going on between mom and this prince. I had recognized the name right away from all the news coverage. He was the youngest son of the royal family. I held out my hand, “Welcome aboard the Night Scream.” He smiled as he stepped closer and took my hand. I gestured to Allie, “My wife, Allie.” I glanced at my mom to see her startled look. I grinned, “Allie?” “Yes my husband?” Mom jerked again and I grinned, “Give mom and the prince access to the common areas of the ship.” “Yes my husband.” I gestured for mom to proceed me with Allie, “Would you take my mom to the Galley?” I followed along behind them with David beside me. He seemed amused and whispered, “Just wait, she’ll start questioning you about everything when you relax.” I grinned, “I’m used to that.” Mom just stared when I used the synthesizer for cups of tea. I had made sure it was programmed just the way she used to like it. She was quiet as she sat and sipped her tea with the David beside her. She finally shook herself, “Where did you, which ship…” I was holding Allie’s tea and laughed as David grinned at me, “Told you so.” I grinned back, “If you mean the synthesizer, it’s a kind of hybrid technology. Like many of the things that are a part of the ship.” Mom licked her lips, “The power for something like that…” I nodded, “That’s why we have three Phase Reactors.” Her eyes widened, “We never completely…” I laughed and she blushed before sitting back, “What else?” I looked at Allie, “I think the only other thing I can tell you about right now is the medical technology we worked out and placed in Olivia’s sick bay. Everything from true stasis tubes to regen tanks. Technologies to regenerate or regrow a body part. Scanners, that like the synthesizer repair damages and… well, a lot more.” I sat brooding and mom reached out to touch my hand, “I’m sorry. The fleet put out a list of the dead.” I nodded and finally sighed as I looked at Allie, “At least I have Allie.” Mom looked at her and took a breath. Somehow I knew what was coming, “And just what is Allie?” I smiled not taking my eye away from Allie, “She was an AI on an alien warship. They just shut her down and left her. Julie found her and after checking her code, brought her back. I guess you could say Allie is a second computer system for the ship, a back up system. Julie, Jess, Teri and Olivia thought she was one of us and called her…” My voice broke and I took a minute while Allie slowly reached out to wipe a tear away, “They called her their sister and my wife. I made this body for her after I returned to Grer. In most ways it is as human as me.” I sighed and finally looked at mom and grinned, “Allie is my friend and companion and yes my wife. Just today she demanded to know why I hadn’t taken her to bed and made love to her.” Mom blushed while David covered his mouth and choked. I caressed Allie’s face, “she feels like you feel. She can taste food even if I still have to help her eat. Her vision is getting better and is like yours. Her hearing is the same as yours. She smells odors just like you do. She has to eat and rest and yes, even go to the bathroom.” I looked at my mother, “If she leaves the body completely, it dies.” Mom sat back looking at Allie, “Why didn’t you just clone a body?” I blinked and looked at Allie while she looked at me. Mom suddenly laughed, “You didn’t think of it.” I blushed and then grinned while Allie looked down, “I think this was better. If I had just moved into a body I would not have survived.” I smiled thinking about the chaos she had described to me. Mom pursed her lips, “You know that has happened every time they tried it. I wonder why?” I smiled, “Because the body they move into is strange and they don’t know how to do anything. Not muscle control, sight or more importantly, talking.” Mom sat back stunned and then smiled. Like always, when she found one answer she went after others. She looked at me calmly, “But how did you figure out…” David laughed and I grinned, “We had access to everyone’s notes and worked it out. The hardest part was the matter transmitter and the Phase Reactor.” She was stunned but I had noticed the prince jerk when I had mentioned the matter transmitter. I only glanced at him, “I dismantled the transmitter before I left and almost all the notes were destroyed when the Battlecruiser destroyed the biospheres.” I smiled at mom, “Any chance we can see a play or something?” David cleared his throat, “As young as you are they won’t allow you into service. They will more than likely demand the ship and its technology.” I looked at him calmly, “First, this is technology from an independent system. Second, the technology and this ship belong to me. Third, I have protocols in place to prevent anyone from taking Night Scream covertly. And fourth, there is nothing that can breach her shields and take her by force.” He looked at my mother and she returned his look. I was quiet and finally looked at mom, “We are going after the Talis Empire, with or without the support of fleet. They didn’t just kill almost everyone at home. Dad was torn apart by someone in a combat armor and they took pleasure doing it. They did the same thing to Jess, Julie, Teri and Olivia.” Mom’s face had paled but David was only quiet. He finally sighed and pulled out a small comm, “I need to speak to father.” There was a low hum from the comm and then a strong male voice, “What is it now David?” He looked straight at me, “Father, I am with Mary’s son. I… I need your authorization to offer him a position in the Rangers.” There was a silence on the comm and then, “I’m looking at Mary’s file and Charles Samuel Knight is only sixteen and listed as independent system resident.” He continued to stare at me while mother sucked in her breath, “I know father. If you have read the report on Petel… At least meet him father.” There was silence for almost a minute, “I’m at the Admiralty. Stay there and I’ll be there in ten minutes.” The comm clicked and David relaxed, “You will need to grant him and his bodyguards access to the whole ship.” I sat back and looked at Allie. She pursed her lips remarkably like mom and I almost said something. She finally shrugged, “I am not sure my husband.” I smiled, “You know, you can mix up your terms of address when you talk to me.” The Allie grinned, “Alright my love.” I shook my head and sat back thinking. Allie interrupted me a few minutes later, “Several grav cars are approaching.” I stood with David who waved mom back down. I nodded to Allie to stay and walked back to the boarding lobby with the prince. I looked at him while we walked and his mouth twitched, “You can ask.” I grinned, “It’s, should I ask?” He grinned and turned to me, “Your mother and I are… seeing each other. She is a special woman.” I smiled as I turned to the open hatch and four men stepped through. The next person to come through while the four men spread out to cover the lobby was a tall well built man. I recognized him from all his pictures, only right now he looked… tired. I bowed slightly, “Welcome aboard Night Scream.” He smiled and another man stepped in behind him. He wore the dress uniform of a full fleet Admiral. I could see several men fanning out around the ship. I cleared my throat, “Would it make your security feel better if the ship’s shields were on?” The Emperor started and looked at one of his security men who hesitated and then nodded. I smiled, “Allie? Bring up your shields but let the security comms continue to operate.” “Yes my husband.” The emperor nodded and I looked into his face, “Many of the devices on this ship are… restricted and unknown. If the technology were to get out…” He raised his hand, “Say no more.” I nodded, “Allie, give his Majesty and his guards unlimited access. The Admiral can have access in the common areas.” “Of course love.” Even I started at that and David grinned at me. I turned to lead the way back to the galley. The prince had fallen in beside his father and I could hear them talking quietly. At the galley, I gestured to the table and walked to the synthesizer. I looked at the emperor, “something to drink?” He surprised me when he asked for some fruit juice. I looked at the admiral and he grinned, “coffee of course, make it black.” I turned to the synthesizer and ordered the coffee before thinking about the choices of juices, I smiled and ordered. I carried both to the table while the guards and everyone else it seemed continued to stare at the synthesizer. I sat their cups down and waited until they had sipped their beverage. The emperor smiled and then became serious as he looked at me, “I know you want revenge for what happened but…” I held my hand up and realized everyone was startled. No one was supposed to interrupt the emperor when he talked. I smiled, “If I wanted revenge I wouldn’t have bothered coming here.” He looked at me and sat back taking another sip of juice, “Alright, tell me what you want.” I looked at Allie and then looked back at him, “Okay, we want to push Talis back to their own planets. If we have to destroy every ship they own, we will. What they did on Grer was not war. It was murder for the sake of murder. With this ship, we can bring the war to an end.” He sat there looking at me and finally nodded, “Tell me about your ship.” I looked at the admiral and gestured for the emperor to stand and follow. I led him and his guards to the bridge, “Allie?” “Yes love?” I smiled and gestured for the emperor to sit in my chair, “Filter all comms and block my words.” “Acknowledged Charles.” I looked at the Emperor, “Okay, try to follow. This ship was built atom by atom, using a matter transmission device we built and adapted. The frame and hull are made of a super dense alloy that would be difficult to damage at best. Built into the hull are three other technologies. Built into the alloy itself is a chameleon like property that would make it hard to see if we didn’t keep a negative charge.” I thought for a minute and then continued, “Add to that is a technology that fully stealth’s the ship and last is a complete shield generating system that is probably a hundred times stronger than anything you can imagine. Our power comes from three special built Phase Reactors.” The emperor jerked at that and I nodded, “I see you know what a Phase Reactor is, good. The engines are also different. They came from an ancient race and are three or four times more powerful than anything currently being used and half the size.” I took a breath, “We have three weapon systems. The first is sixty of what we call energy torpedo launchers or torps launchers. They have a range out to a full light minute. They can shatter any ship’s armor in seconds.” “Second, is what we call an energy lance, there are six and they have a range of almost five light minutes and are powerful enough to punch all the way through one of your dreadnoughts at max range.” “Last is our main weapon, it is another concept we devolved from the matter transmission device and the Phase Reactor. It has an optimum range of about thirty light minutes but could reach out to about one light hour.” He swallowed and I could see he wanted to ask a question. I nodded, “Go ahead and ask.” He looked into my eyes, “What is the damage capability of the last weapon?” I didn’t hesitate, “Between ten micro grams of anti matter to a thousand if you used anti matter as an equivalent. It is fully adjustable.” I heard his guards suck in breath but he only nodded and gestured for me to continue and I smiled, “Ship systems. We have three oxygen generators and two advanced recycling systems. We have two highly advanced hydroponics sections with protein vats. Beside the synthesizer you saw for food, there is another for clothing and we have a matter transmitter section for any repairs we might need.” I took a breath, “The last thing is the best, Allie. She was a battle AI from what you would think of as a super dreadnought. We found her and now she is part of my family, my wife.” I waited and he put his fingers together and sat thinking. He finally nodded and stood up and let me lead him back to the galley where we found mom, Allie, David and the admiral arguing about fashion. I glanced at the emperor and he only shook his head and grinned, “I forgot to introduce you to Admiral Davis. He runs the fleet for me.” I nodded to the red faced admiral as the emperor gathered himself. He gestured to me, “Understand that as a Ranger you are my direct vassal.” I hesitated and finally nodded and he proceeded to swear Allie and I in. When he was done he nodded, “I’ll have your headquarters send your badges over. In the mean time, I have a meeting I need to get to.” He hesitated, “I think I want another Ranger to… accompany you. She is back here for medical reasons. She lost an arm and leg.” He looked at me before he turned to leave with the admiral following him. Mom seemed sad but smiled bravely while David cleared his throat, “Well, now that that’s over... how about I take everyone shopping and then we go watch a play?” When Allie and I returned that evening it was to see a large grav car sitting beside the ship. We looked at each other and I walked over while she waited by the now open hatch. A young woman of about twenty five with bright red hair got out of the car and slid into a hover chair. I could only see one leg, she was also missing an arm just below the elbow, “It’s about damn time!” I blinked and then smiled, “If I had known you were coming, I would have been here.” She grumped as I looked at Allie, “Open sick bay.” It was almost an hour later that I took a break. I stood by one of the regen tanks that held the sleepy looking woman I now knew was the Ranger that was to go with us. I smiled, “Welcome to the Night Scream Ranger Mathis.” She struggled and gradually looked more alert, “This gel stuff is really going to regrow my…” I smiled at the hope in her voice, “If Olivia said it would than you will just have to suffer being whole again.” She looked at me and relaxed, “I was pissed when HQ told me to report aboard. Call me Ginger.” I grinned, “They didn’t have anything to do with it. The emperor demanded you accompany us. I think he was afraid I might get carried away.” She raised her eyebrow and I smiled, “Rest. Tomorrow we can go into plans.” She searched my face and then nodded before relaxing. I hesitated, “Allie?” Her quiet voice whispered almost in my ear, “Yes Charles?” I smiled, “Give Ranger Mathis… Ginger, full access. If she needs anything in the night call me.” “Of course my husband.” Ginger smiled, “My confidential brief told me Allie was an AI.” I looked at her to see her reaction, “Allie may be artificial but she is my wife and my companion.” She looked straight at me, “I think it’s great. I always believed that an AI could feel and be as human as we are.” I smiled and left, I found Allie in my room. I undressed and joined her in bed. She hugged me, “It was good to see your mom. She seemed nice.” I nodded, “She’s changed but at the same time…” Allie crawled on top of me and put her head on my shoulder. I grinned and relaxed thinking about the way mom, David and Ranger Mathis had reacted to Allie. I woke to the light tingling Allie used to wake me, “What is it Allie?” She was looking into my face and smiled, “Ranger Mathis asked for you and we have a visitor.” I slipped out from under her and slid out of bed. I dressed quickly and helped her into another one of her daring outfits and we headed for sick bay, “Who’s the visitor?” “Ranger Samson, he’s in with Ranger Mathis now.” I walked in the door and saw a tall man by the regen tank next to Ginger. I stopped by Ginger and smiled, “Let me guess, it itches.” She grinned, “Like you wouldn’t believe.” I nodded, “The wounded I treated at home said the same thing. It has something to do with the growth of new parts.” I crossed to the cabinets and pulled out two neural suppressers. I slipped one into the regen tank next to the knee and attached it before turning it on, the second went below her elbow. She sighed when it went on and I crossed to a sink to clean the regen gel off. Ginger nodded toward the man beside her, “This is Ranger Samson.” I nodded and he grinned, “Welcome to the Rangers.” He held out a small silver case. I took it and opened it to see the gold star with my name on the bottom and Commander across the top. I looked up and he grinned, “Brand new to the Rangers and already a Commander.” Ginger looked at him sharply and he shrugged. “Straight from the emperor. He said something about a ship captain needing rank.” She lifted her arm and leg out of the regen gel. She stared at the half regrown stump of her arm and then her partially regrown leg. She looked at me and I repositioned both limbs back in the tank. The other Ranger cleared his throat, “I also have the other badge and your briefing for your first mission.” I nodded, “You can give Allie her badge now. How sensitive is the mission?” He shrugged as he set the badge in Allie’s lap, “Not very, a run to a system with one known Cruiser squadron. No real time requirement.” I looked at Allie, thinking before looking at Ginger, “You need another full twenty four hours and then you need therapy I’m not qualified to give. I also need certain… supplies for your combat armor.” She grinned, “I think if you call headquarters and explain what you need, Commander Mathis might be persuaded to help.” I nodded and looked at the Ranger, “I’ll need the coordinates.” He smiled as he held out a small data storage device. I took it and held it on my palm, “Allie, would you bring me my holo interface.” She smiled, “Yes my husband.” The interface dropped into my other hand and I inserted the data device. I turned so Ginger could see as I brought up the information. The system was Long Horn, a planet known for huge grass plains. It had one Cruiser squadron and one fixed fortress on their moon. I glanced at Allie, “I need a shopping list Allie. We need material for two armored combat suits.” I reached for my comm link, as I pulled it out it lit up with the comm number for Ranger headquarters. I set the holo interface down as a small face filled my comm screen, “I would like to speak to Commander Mathis. This is the captain of Night Scream.” The woman in the display nodded and the screen went blank for a minute. It lit up with the face of an older man that looked a lot like Ginger, “Commander Mathis.” I looked at Ginger and smiled, “I was told to contact you for some of my ship requirements.” Before his face finished changing to anger I went on, “I have Ranger Mathis in my sick bay. Because of ship requirements, I was forced to put her in one of my regen tanks. All of her wounds were retreated and both limbs should be completely regrown in another twenty four hours. However, I am not qualified in therapy techniques and need a doctor to proscribe her therapy to strengthen and retone her new limbs.” His eyes were wide, “You… she…” He cleared his throat, “She has her limbs back?” I nodded, “She will have in another twenty four hours.” He closed his eyes and then nodded almost to himself. He looked at me and smiled, “I’ll have one of the Ranger Doctors come over and see her. Is there anything else I can help you with?” I looked at Allie, “I have a list of materials to make her combat armor but don’t know who I should contact.” He smiled bigger, “Send the list to me and I will make sure it gets filled.” I nodded to Allie before looking at the Commander, “Because of our mission, we will be leaving after Ranger Mathis gets out of the regen tank.” He nodded, “Tell her… tell her, I love her and to take better care of herself next time.” I smiled at Ginger, “I think she heard. Thank you Commander.” I switched the comm off, “If you need anything, call Allie.” She grinned, “I’ve been talking to her already.” I smiled at Allie, “Well, I was planning to take her to look at clothes and then a nice lunch.” Ginger laughed, “I think she designs better than most shops.” I grinned and walked out with Allie following me in her chair. We spent the morning window shopping for clothes. She had a small atomic matter scanner and several times I saw her scan fabric. We had just sat down in a nice restaurant when Admiral Davis showed up. He joined us as if he had been invited. He made pleasant conversation with Allie about some of the clothes she had seen. After lunch was over he actually bent to kiss her cheek and shook my hand. When he shook my hand, he slipped a tiny data device into it. He didn’t say anything about it and I slipped it into a pocket. We headed back to the ship and I reminded Allie that mom and Prince David were coming to dinner. The hatch was opening when she cleared her throat, “Ranger Mathis has two doctors in with her.” I led her to the sick bay and found a quiet Ginger with a man and woman who were somber. They looked at me for a minute and the man cleared his throat, “What you’re doing has never been tried on humans.” I smiled as I walked to the tank and put Ginger’s limbs back into the tank, “Yes it has. I treated more then fifty people and there were no adverse reactions. It was also scanned and checked by one of my wives before she was killed. It is safe to use on humans.” I looked at Ginger, “stay in the tank and let me know when they leave. I need to talk to you about a possible change in the mission.” I left with Allie and went to look in the ship’s wardroom. Allie sat quietly as I checked everything and finally turned to her. She was looking at me, “Why do humans feel sad?” I smiled as I caressed her face, “Why did you feel happy when Olivia and Julia called you their sister.” She frowned, “I don’t know.” I turned her chair and started pushing it towards the gym, “Feelings… or emotions are something that is hard to define. Ask mom, maybe she can explain it.” I opened the door to the gym and pushed her inside. I set the gravity to half and watched as Allie stood and hesitantly took a few steps. She started smiling after a couple of steps and by the time she had walked across the large room and turned, it had turned into a big grin. She stopped walking and started stretches before moving into a kata. I grinned, “Is it helping with the balance?” She kept grinning and didn’t stop her slow careful movements, “Yes.” I let my body relax and like I had with Jess, I moved forward and faced Allie. I followed her slow careful katas, mirroring them and all to soon she stopped moving. She carefully walked to her chair and sat, “I feel tingles and twitches in my legs, it feels… not good.” I smiled, “That is the muscles beginning to firm up and tone. It’s called pain.” I turned the gravity back up, “How does your back and shoulders feel?” She looked at me, “The same as my legs.” I took her to sick bay and Ginger looked up when we came in. She was kind of pensive and watched as I lifted Allie out of her chair and onto a gurney on her stomach. I went through one of the cabinets until I found a muscle relaxer. I started rubbing her muscles down and Ginger seemed curious, “Allie?” Allie actually sighed as she turned her head to see Ginger, “Yes Ranger Mathis?” Ginger grinned, “Call me Ginger, I was curious about why you need your muscles relaxed.” Allie shivered as I started rubbing her legs, “I am still learning to use this body and learning to use my muscles.” Ginger looked at me and then suddenly laughed, “And here I was feeling sorry for myself because I need to learn to use my hand and foot over again. I can’t even imagine learning to use my whole body over again.” Allie sighed again, “I hope it doesn’t take to long. It feels… unpleasant.” I looked at Allie, “Hope Allie?” She smiled, “That it the correct word.” I grinned at Ginger as she laughed again, “Yes, that’s the correct word.” I pulled out the data device Admiral Davis had given me and went to pick up the holo interface. I put the data device in and went back to trying to get Allie’s muscles to relax. Admiral Davis appeared with another man. He had white hair and looked very old, “Captain Knight, I gave you this because it contains classified information about Long Horn. This is Ranger Smith, he is the head of the Rangers.” I glanced at Ginger and she nodded. Admiral Davis took a breath, “Long Horn doesn’t have just one cruiser squadron it has at least a six fleet task force.” Ginger gasped but I ignored her as the admiral continued, “If your ship is as good as you told the emperor than this could help end the war. We just received news of at least a dozen new shipyards that are in full operation.” He looked at the old man who smiled slightly, “Welcome son. You should know we never quit. Get it done.” The holo went blank and then flashed a message of data error. Ginger sat back, “six fleets.” I finished the last of Allie’s muscle groups and put the muscle relaxer away, “Have you been eating Ginger?” She grinned, “I’ve had five visitors and they all brought a little something.” I helped Allie off the gurney and back into her hover chair and she looked at me, “I need to change for your mother and the prince.” I had to grin, she sounded just like Teri, “Do you need help?” She shook her head, “I think I can manage.” Ginger laughed as Allie turned and left. I picked up the holo interface and brought it to Ginger, “You can use this to learn about the ship.” She smiled and I set it on a tray beside the tank. I went to my cabin and found Allie looking at a display with her scanner in her lap. I grinned, “Have you showered first?” She shook her head and finally looked away from her display, “There are so many choices. How do you humans know what to wear?” I grinned as I turned her chair and tossed her scanner onto the bed, “Making a choice is easy. Making the right choice is harder.” I pushed her chair into the fresher and helped her stand before undressing her. I undressed and helped her into the water curtain. As I washed her, I thought about her question, “I guess deciding on what to wear is an individual trait. One I’m not sure I have mastered. The choice should be decided by circumstances, what you are going to do. Tonight is still informal… at least I think it is. I guess a nice outfit like you had on earlier would work. Ask mom or since she is on board, use the holo interface and ask Ginger, she’s a woman.” Allie looked at me, “Do you like Ginger?” I finished washing her hair and helped her out. I dried her before sitting her in her chair. I looked into her face, “I don’t know Ginger. She was sent here to watch us because the emperor doesn’t trust us yet. I think she is a… nice person and yes, maybe I will like her one day. But she isn’t Julie, Jess, Teri or Olivia.” Allie nodded and I gestured, “Go get dressed.” I stepped back under the water curtain and started washing, thinking about what Allie had asked. I got out and dried off and came into my room to see Allie talking to Ginger and got dressed. I slipped out and went to the wardroom to set the table and use the synthesizer for cold drinks. I left and went to the hydroponics section and found what I was looking for. When I returned to the wardroom, Allie was there with the holo of Ginger. I smiled as I put the flowers in the center of the table. Allie stopped talking and was looking at the flowers curiously. I nodded to Ginger, “Ask Ginger.” I went back to setting up while I heard her ask Ginger why I had put flowers on the table. She turned to me a moment later, “Your mother is here.” I stopped what I was doing and went to the hatch to greet them. I led them both to the wardroom and mom’s eyes widened. I grinned and gestured to the table, “Have a seat, I still have a couple of things to do. Besides, I think Allie has been saving up questions to ask you.” I turned back to the menu I had been working on and could hear Allie introducing Ginger and then ask mom about feelings. I tuned them out as I finished what I was doing and picked up the tiny remote for the synthesizer. I helped Allie out of her chair and into a seat and grinned at Ginger in the holo, “Care to join us?” She looked down at the tank and I pressed a button on the remote. She gasped as a small tray of appetizers appeared on the edge of the tank as well as in front of each of us. Mom and David both jumped and I looked at mom, “Sorry, we don’t have a waiter.” She glared at me and then hesitantly picked up a small fork. After the first bite her eyes widened while David grinned and went after another appetizer. Ginger nodded in appreciation and kept eating while I helped Allie and ate a little myself. The whole dinner went quietly as we all ate. After the frozen cream I sat back and relaxed. Allie went back to asking mom about how to decide what to wear. I smiled as David sat forward to interrupt and give his own advice while mom and Ginger both argued. Allie looked at me curiously, “My husband? Who is right?” They all quieted as I smiled, “They could all be right. Remember I told you that clothes were an individual trait. It is one thing you will have to decide for yourself. You can base it on many things, comfort, ease of wear, what the clothes look like and how you will appear to others.” I looked at mom while she was looking at me surprised. I smiled, “Mom or Ginger may be able to give you ideas of what other women like to wear. David can give you ideas on what the fashion for women is.” Allie thought about it as she looked down at the table. She finally nodded, “Like the difference between the clothes Julie, Jess, Teri and Olivia wore.” I nodded and looked away, “They each had different styles. Even Julie and Jess, they dressed almost the same but if you check your recordings you will find small differences.” Allie nodded and then smiled, “But there are no recordings in your bedroom. What did they wear to bed?” Mom and David both blushed, while Ginger chuckled. I smiled, “Julie liked to be nude. Jess liked to wear only loose shorts. Teri liked thin cotton pants that covered her legs. Olivia liked short gowns or long shirts that came down to her thighs with nothing else on. As for when we made love they all went naked.” Allie was smiling, “Then I take after Julie.” I caressed her face, “In some things.” She smiled and turned to face mom, “When should a woman make love to her mate?” Mom almost choked as Ginger laughed and David covered his mouth. Mom glared at me before looking at Allie, “It depends on the woman. Some women enjoy the act of lovemaking while others… only followed their urges.” Allie looked at me, “What were my sisters like?” I smiled as I fed her and then took a bite. I finally sat back and closed my eyes, “Every woman is different Allie. I have told you this before. Each of the girls was different, just as you will be different and as much as you want to know, it is something only they could have told you.” Allie sighed and looked down. I looked at David, “You were talking about fashion but I thought her clothes looked good on her.” He grinned while mom laughed, “I’ll bet you did.” Allie looked from mom to David, “Was I dressed wrong?” Ginger laughed, “No Allie. You were fine. It was just that it was… provocative.” She looked at me, “You liked it?” I grinned, “Yes, you always look good.” Allie smiled and mom shook her head, “You don’t have to please him.” Allie looked at her strangely, “You sound like Jess.” Mom blinked as I grinned. I looked at David and Ginger, “Jess was… aggressive. She didn’t always do things to please me but she always made a point of calling me her husband. I think it was her way of saying I belonged to her.” David covered his mouth while he laughed but Ginger didn’t bother as she joined mom in laughing out loud. Allie looked at them and then at me speculatively, “So you belong to me?” I smiled, “In a way. When people mate like the girls and I did, you could say they belong to each other. It was why the girls thought it was funny when you called me your husband. It was also what made each of them love you, because you were willing to be part of them.” Mom cleared her throat, “enough talk about that. I want to know how you thought to use all the different technologies together.” I grinned, “It was because of all you history nuts. We didn’t want to be separated if one of our parents left so we needed a biosphere. Teri remembered the old Silsi factory ship. With the help of the community database we repaired it. Right after we moved in, we thought about the war and decided to build a ship to protect us. We researched and planned everything before we did anything. Allie was the only thing we didn’t plan.” Mom grinned, “You can’t plan for a woman to enter your life.” I smiled at Allie and nodded before continuing, “We wanted something that would be fast, dangerous and strong enough to withstand people shooting at us. So we looked at all the old ships for ideas.” I took a breath and looked at mom, “I know you don’t like what I plan on doing. I’m doing it so that something like what happened at home never happens again.” Mom smiled sadly, “I know why you’re doing it. The thing is… the wonderful technology you brought to life is only going to be used for war.” I shook my head and gestured to Ginger, “Not quite. Look at the medical technology that is helping Ginger. I have no intention of releasing the other technologies.” Mom nodded, “but they know now.” She shrugged and then she changed the subject to plays and music. The rest of dinner went very well and mom was happy when I walked them to the hatch. I check the time and headed towards the sick bay, “Allie, its time to help Ginger out of the tank.” I came into the room to see Allie sitting beside the tank. She looked at me and I felt the gravity change. I frowned, “You know I don’t like you changing the gravity anywhere except the gym.” She gestured to Ginger, “It will help when we take Ginger out.” I nodded and walked to the tank, “Open the flow valve and drain the tank.” Ginger looked at little worried but watched patiently as her limbs appeared. The arm was first and while it looked whole, it also looked very thin. The legs appeared and the one regrown was as thin as the arm. I nodded and reached in to lift her to the edge of the tank, “We’ll need her hover chair.” It appeared suddenly beside me and I nodded, “Use the scanner to remove the film on her body.” I finally lifted Ginger and put her in the chair, “I hope you kept the instructions the therapist gave you.” She grinned and I smiled before looking at Allie, “Show her to her room and meet me on the bridge.” |
