(Takes place after “Captain, May I?”)

She was finished with the Captain and had gone back to her quarters and thought long and hard about what she had confided. She knew the crystalline orb was gone. They had searched for it. A couple weeks after they had come back from the injuries they had sustained, she had convinced him to go back once more. They didn’t go in as deep, for obvious reasons, but close enough that had even a small shard of the thing survived the explosion, they would have found it.

A few moments later, she was sitting at her desk with her comm turned on. Her hair was pulled up in a loose knot she often wore when working on a particularly difficult puzzle. Her top was a sweatshirt style pull over with sleeves almost completely cut off. It occurred to her, he was the only one who had seen her in more than just her uniform… well, till Tenkiller had a couple days ago. She was looking at the screen as it rang thru to the Wolverine. It was where her closest friend, and mentor, had disappeared to. She waited for Duncan to respond and wondered what she was doing, letting so many others in on her hunch of what had occurred to make Romulus explode.

The call didn’t ring for long, and presently it flicked to the screen of an Officers Quarters on the Wolverine with the familiar face of Duncan answering the call. Duncan was clearly in his quarters and off duty for the evening as although it was clearly Duncan, he wasn’t in uniform. Not much had changed about him and even though he was in casual clothing those clothes were neat and tidy, pressed and without a wrinkle. Two things would instantly reveal that something was different with him however.

About himself, Duncans top button on his collared shirt was undone leading to a slightly more relaxed and roguish appearance than he previously sported, although his posture had not changed one bit.

The other thing, was that the room behind Duncan exhibited something of a small apocalyptic wasteland, at least by Duncan’s high standards of living on the Outpost. There was clothing dropped over the back of a chair behind him, and it wasn’t even folded, just hung there as if it was ready to wear the next day. The Medical Blue indicated it was not Duncans, who of course wore the Science colours. A single shoe also lay sideways on the table, it’s partner lying on the floor in the background. PaDD’s, books and coffee cups rested in various places around the room and a blanket lay in an untidy heap over cushions that looked like they had been dropped into place on the sofa. Half of a bra poked out of the blanket.

All in all, it seemed that Duncan was his normal calm, reserved and in control self. Like he was the eye in a storm, perhaps. All of that had to be absorbed in an instant though as Duncans lips curved into a smile of recognition. “Toveka, this is an unexpected call. How are you, and how can I help?” That was Duncan as she knew him, always to the point and sidestepping the small talk.

She smiled as her eyes flickered slightly over the background before focusing on him once more. “How are you, Sir? It’s been a long time. I hope you are well. I hope I am not calling at a bad time. I wanted to speak with you about things found and lost when you were here and also of a couple new things if you have the time.” She wasn’t sure who was listening. And while the Captain and Tenkiller knew, or would, about their past, she wasn’t sure whoever was around there would need to know.

“Go ahead, I have some free time, you aren’t intruding” Duncan smiled, it was going to be no problem having Lily in hearing distance, he had already told her everything about the incident in the Romulus system. Lily had been by his side from the moment he had returned severely injured and fighting for his life, only holding onto it by the heroic actions of Captain Khain, the Klingon Captain who beamed them both out before the runabout exploded.
