[snip]Fayth wasn’t sure exactly what to tell them. They didn’t know exactly. “We aren’t entirely sure. It seems to be one of those days. I was on my way to check some systems, and with comms down I wanted to check and make sure everything was alright. I’m sure the parents would appreciate knowing. And for the children to know that everyone is safe. A few minor injuries among the crew, but we are all safe.” As had become her habit, Fayth had a PaDD with her. She typed a quick message that appeared on the Captains display at her chair.

”..Well that is good at least on some level. I am sure once the Captain has more information on what happened she will let us all know..” NTeach Billy replied.
Julin was the first to see a familiar face as he toddled over with a concerned look as he said, “Sharah? Where daddy Abis?” He asked as he held his little arms up to be held with the most adorable little pout and those puppydog eyes. Mecona was standing with NTeacher Billy and holding close to his legs, still a little shy but wanting to trust in him as an authority figure. She looked over and said, “Is Uncle Joseph coming?”
Sharah knelt down and hugged Julin, his trepidation tugging hard at her. “He’s working on the deflector control, Julin. It’s this big giiiiiant dish that stops space dust from hitting us. It’s very important and it’s your daddy’s job to make sure it keeps working. He can tell you about it when gets here to pick you up like always, okay.” Sharah was careful to make sure that it sounded like maintenance. She didn’t want the children, especially the older ones, to worry. She grinned at Mecona and waved her over and hugged her too. “No, Uncle Joseph is very busy. But if I see him before you I will tell him you said hello. But you know what. I think you should go meet EXR-11. He is an awesome robot and Tel’eck and Sarah are my friends too, so I am sure they will let you meet him. He is a very polite robot. But no touching, okay?” She raised her voice just a bit for it to carry and looked at Tel’eck in question.
Tel’eck then Sarah gave hidden thumbs up that they understood.
Fayth smiled and returned their hidden thumbs up in thanks.
Mecona nodded and smiled up at Sharah, “I like you too Aunty Sharah! Thank you!” She stayed near Sharah for a little, “He’s a nice robot? Is he like Julin’s Bot?” She asked as she watched her little brother toddling towards the big robot with arms outstretched “Julin! Aunty Sharah said no touching!” She started to run towards Julin as the little boy got closer.
Meanwhile the older boys were watching as Tel’eck wheeled around EXR-11 and Neltus leaned over to Vedi and said, “She’s pretty....” Vedi looked at Neltus and punched him in the arm. “She’s like a teenager we don’t… I mean… you don’t stand a chance!” Neltus blushed and then it hit him what his brother had said “You think she’s pretty too huh…” Vedi just blushed and said, “Dude knock it off…” Neltus took a deep breath and swallowed hard as he said, “I’m going to go talk to her…” Vedi scampered from his desk and said, “Me too!” They approached and Neltus said, “That’s a cool robot, Vedi and I here built one too…” Vedi chimed in and said, “Yeah it wasn’t remote controlled either!”

Sarah nodded some but Tel’eck at least turned to give her attention to the younger boys. “..I am sure it was or is a wonderful robot then. EXR-11 though was designed for younger folks to also use him for fun, hence the controls. It also saved us on space and programming an adaptive interface and matrix.” She replied.
She sent Julin and Mecona over to the other kids and smiled at NT Billy. Sharah caught Neltus and Vedi’s gaze and just looked at them....she knew. She looked back at Billy. “If you need anything let us know. Comms and power should be back soon.”

Vedi looked over towards his siblings and saw Sharah and say the look and nudged Neltus’s shoulder and pointed towards her. “I think she knows” Neltus turned and saw the look too. “Uh… Hi Aunty Sharah!” He said as he nudged Vedi hard back and whispered, “How would she know? She’s just looking over here is all” Vedi stayed behidnd to try to make conversation as Neltus stood by and leaned on a book case, thinking he looked cool with a smile, “How’s your day going so far?” He asked honestly. Even if he was trying to be interesting to the older girls he was still a sweet kid at heart.

Sharah grinned and waved back. They didn’t come over to her so she wouldn’t embarrass them by making a scene. There was a time for that and this was not it.
Tel’eck smiled to Fayth giving a friendly wave. Sarah meanwhile was moving EXR-11’s arms up and down in a dance parody to entertain the youngest children. Which had the kids giggling and forgetting about the recent events it seems.
Returning a text reply =/\= Thank you Lieutenant. I’ll be alerting the rest of the crew of our situation and status once I have a full report to give =/\= She replied.

Getting an confirmation Fayth nodded and turned back to NT Billy. “The captain will be sending out an update as soon as we have all relevant information. I have to get going to check on other systems.” She waved bye and slipped out the door and back down the corridor. She needed to get down to the hull breach and see if Genard needed any help, though she doubted it. On the way she’d check on the sensor systems as well.
