Cella decided to follow. So she could at least warn Farin when he woke up what happened.
Rockwell tried not to laugh. At least the big guy had a sense of humor. "He's funny."
"And you're only saying that because you're another male and find jokes like that amusing." Cephnem said smiling "But I must say. I did want to laugh."
~ ~ ~ ~
With those simple words Calypso became mad. "I am smart." She practically hissed. "Just because I'm not as smart as him doesn't mean anything." She huffed trying to remember she had talent in her art, talent her brother would never have. "I already know I'm not as smart as him, that's why I spend time on my art. I'll never be as good as him, might as well stick with what I can excell in." She sighed settling back down. She should know better then to get jealous, it was pointless, especially when she could pick on her smarty pants brother all the time. "If you're not careful I'll paint your face when you go to bed, and I'll do it with the best paint in the galaxy so you can't get it off."

"Yeah. He's like that all of the time. I'm glad you two will get along then." Titania had finished wiping up the water which had gone everywhere and tossed the napkin.
"Here's the party." Soren came in, crawling on the ceiling. He flipped down and smiled at the room. "Fantastic." He spotted the end of the married couple walking out with the slave behind them.
---
"You can't because if you do you'll ruin my skin and I'll have to go get it remade and neither of us have any money, so, what would we do then?" Galileo sat at the table and let his nanobots set up the chessboard for them.

"Do you always walk around on the ceiling like that, or are you just doing it to try and scare us poor humans?" Rockwell was a hint of amusement in his voice.
Cephnem took another sip of Rocky's coffee. "It's cool. You're just jealous you can't crawl on the ceiling."
~ ~ ~ ~
Calypso took her own seat and watched at the board began to set up. "Eh we could find away to raise money." She shrugged "Or you could just say you were going to pay up later and never do. Either way I've warned you, sleep with one eye open!" She said with a smile.

Soren shrugged but stayed where he was, "It sort of keeps me out of everyone's way. Plus I don't know many other people who can do it, and I'm a bit of a show-off." He smiled a guilty smile, "I'm such a tool sometimes."
---
"Joke's on you, little girl. I don't need sleep mode, it's a power-save option." He smiled as the board was set. "But you on the other hand, you do need sleep, so maybe it's you who shouldn't cross me."

Cephnem raised a brow. "Well I guess it's pretty cool. Sure would come in handy." She said smiling at Soren.
Rockwell nodded. "Yeah. Sure would come in handy trying to work on some of the larger machines and weapons." Yeah he wished humans had cool power, or abilities. In a galaxy full of talents it seemed humans got the short end of the stick.
~ ~ ~ ~
"You don't scare me in the least." Calypso said already focusing on the board and planing her first move. "Since I know you're a gentlemen I get to go first, I am a lady after all." she said picked a pawn up and moving it. "Game on."

Soren strode up to Rockwell with a smirk, "Of course if you want to borrow my abilities, you're free to use me as you like." He winked and lightly tapped the taller man on the nose before he decided to pivot on the balls of his feet and stride out of the room.
Titania, though still eating, had stopped mid-chew to stare with a cocked eyebrow as the green man exited. She finally swallowed the bite and gestured toward the doorway. "What was that about?"
---
It wasn't long before Galileo had taken the lead. Not only was he an android, but the young genius of the family had programmed his artificial intelligence and certainly with an emphasis on smarts. What was that human saying about a chip off of the old block? He moved in a knight in a choice position to take out the girl's king with his next move. "Check."
While he allowed the female to take it all in he sighed. It had been a while since any of them talked about it, and he knew it was never fun, but someone had to say it. "Still nothing from that end of the universe, huh?"

Rockwell found realized he was staring after the green man, and quickly shook his head. "You know. I'm not in the least bit sure what that was all about." A lie, he knew, but he'd never voice it.
"That sounded sexual." Chephnem said with setting down the coffee cup and wondering where the green man was going.
~ ~ ~ ~
Calypso was pondering over her next move. The game was almost lost to her, but her drive to win disappeared with the mention of her brother. "No. I haven't heard anything." she sighed "I know it's bugging mom out a whole lot." Calypso folded her hands neatly in her lap, her shoulders slumping forward. "I'm worried, but I have a feeling he's ok. Being a nerd some where and forgetting to check in."

"Of course it sounded sexual, that's why I asked." Titania rolled her eyes. She turned back to her breakfast and shrugged, "Guess the new trending couple is the one in Rockwell's room."
---
"Well he hasn't the slightest where to check in since well, you know..." He trailed off. It was still a sensitive topic to talk about Earth with many of the humans. Galileo never really felt an attachment to the planet, but the women of the household always did. And it was after that they lost contact with their son and brother, making the subject all the more taboo. "Maybe someone could, you know, find him for us. If we ever got the money or the right person for the job."

"There is no couple in my room. If anything I would have thought Cella and him would make a good match of it. They snuggled all night." Rockwell said remembering how much of a bed hog the two of them had been.
"Don't tell Farin that. I bet he'd be pissed as all get up." Chephnem finally got up and grabbed a fruit for her breakfast.
"They didn't do anything other then sleep and cuddle. I got suckered into reading them both bed time stories."
~ ~ ~ ~
Like many of the people who had escaped Earth, felt the loss. Calypso missed her home, her friends, her life she had there. "Where could anyone start looking. We're never going to find him." She said softly, she had thought of it often, wishing for a way to find him. But well aware they may never have the money to find him. "You and I both would have to pick up jobs plus mom's job, if we wanted to make that king of money." The hopelessness of the situation hit, and she felt lost almost ready to cry.

Tavra was standing before a large screen being emitted from a tabletop. The screen was the only light in the dark room, and the images reflected off of his glasses allowing his eyes to dance about the screen without being seen. It only took him about five minutes to complete the favor for his friend - and he had even stopped for a coffee break. He tilted his head to one side and his choppy black locks fell over one side of his face. He sighed and pushed back the hair before he pulled up a second screen and ordered the computer to start dialing. A human colony, that was not surprising, but a registered A.I.E. Android in a residential area? That was special. Well, that kid was the genius wasn't he? Maybe he was from a line of them. "Yes patch me through to the Michaels residence. Route code 4X7991, ID Nannaev, Tavra. Earl."
As was custom with phone-calls of this sort, the receiving end would get a small spiel about the military, but that was only until the call's transfer completed.
---
"How sweet of you." Titania laughed as she finished her drink then shrugged, "Then I guess you don't have any ulterior motives, right? Not trying to get in the green boy's pants?"
---
Galileo sighed. Well? What did he expect bringing up Sebastian in a conversation? "I'm sorry kiddo, shouldn't have said anything like that. I just... well... I think we all miss him." It was then that the house phone rang. Galileo sighed, "Unknown caller, MA! You wanna get that?"

Rockwell shook his head violently. "No. I was worried for myself. He keeps making comments like that an I'm not sure how to take it."
"He thinks your hot. Since you're a lonely human. Best take him up on his offer, it's probably never going to happen again." Chephnem held the fruit up to the light making sure it was clean enough to eat before she took a bite.
"God you can be such a b***h sometimes Cheph."
~ ~ ~ ~
"Don't call me a kid." She mumbled, she had grown a little defensive when called a kid. After so many years as Sebastian's kid sister in school, who wouldn't?
Nova came out and snatched the phone looking at the unknown number. "Um yes Hello. Michales residence."
Calypso looked at her mom. "I wonder who would be calling us? No one ever calls."

Tavra waited for the military's mandatory message to cease before he could speak, "Michaels, Nova may I presume? I have someone who would like to speak with you in regards to your son. Can you hold for the incoming call?" Tavra didn't really wait for an answer. Unless they were trying to dropp the kid from the family tree, they'd probably take a call about him. He started to pull up a second screen to contact Titania, from there he could connect the calls.
---
Titania shrugged, "She's right, isn't she? What's the big deal? Sexploits like that are pretty common this side of the universe. Especially with his species. I'm sure you two could just have a quick fling and maybe it'd cool his jets."
Just then her planner alerted her of an incoming call and she leapt off of her barstool. "Gotta go, personal call." And with that, she raced down the hall to find a private area where she could talk.
---
"Yeah, it's a little weird." Galileo shrugged it off, "Probably trying to sell us something. No thanks, we don't need a timeshare in Tatakin Turk."

Nova felt shaky. Something had to be wrong, her son had to be dead, why else would the military want to talk to her? "Oh." She said listening to the phone go to hold. Grabbing a near by chair she dragged it over to sit down, her legs finally finding it hard to support her.
Calypso frowned. "Everything ok over there mom?"
"Yes." She nodded a time or two, her heart going crazy in her chest.
Turning to give Galileo a worried look she shook her head and mouthed out that their mother had to be lying.
~ ~ ~ ~
Cella sat nervously. Farin's head resting in her lap as he recovered from what ever it was he had drank. His sister was a monster, plain and simple. She didn't like the women one bit. Cella knew Farin would be in a terrible mood when he awoke, and in an even worse mood when he found out they had taken some information out of his planner.

Galileo nodded slowly but his focus was on electronically tapping into the home phone line so he could listen in as well.
---
Titania, slid into a vacant room on the ship before she returned to the call on her planner just as the transfer completed. "Uhm, hi? Is this Nova Michaels, Sebastian's mother?"
---
Nana raised a brow as she looked down at the slave who was giving her nasty looks. "Relax, kid. If you knew him better, you'd probably hate him too."
"I resent that." Farin grumbled. He didn't bother to lift his head from Cella's lap because he didn't really possess the strength to do so at the moment.
"Good." Nana's reply was shrot and simple. "I like to give you hateful vendettas. They're what keep the universe in motion."
"The whole universe doesn't play by Nana's rules. And besides, the rest of us usually build a bridge and get over it-"
"Watch it, Farin." Nana spat back, "The only thing between your crotch and my heels is the tiny bit of care I have for you as my little brother."
"And your sense of right and wrong, honey. Okay? Let's go before this escalates." War reached down to lift his wife into his arms. "Let's go order new shoes online, huh? Your favorite thing."
"My second favorite thing."
"Ew."

"Yes." Nova answered slowly, though her heart was still racing a thousand beats per minute. "What happened?" She asked knowing her son had to be dead.
~ ~ ~ ~
Cella watched as the two left, her hands still stroking Farin's head in an attempt to calm herself down, if not him. "Are you alright Master Farin? Do you want me to get you something?" She asked leaning over him.
~ ~ ~ ~
Torin Catori was viewed as a genius, his clothing designs, bold, attractive, and for everyone. Making his stuff prized. Because unlike most designers of the present day. Torin didn't make massive amounts of his clothing. Once his stuff was sold out, it would be sold out for all time. Then Torin would have a new design out the next day.
Yet today, when he was supposed to be trying finish off a new order he was being dragged from studio, in hand cuffs. Kicking the whole way he was forced before a council charged for crimes he hadn't taken part of. "Please. No. This must be some misunderstanding! I haven't done anything wrong!"
One of the men sitting stared down at him. "Zaneferzenis. You are being charged with, murder, pirating, illegal sales, theft, and many other minor charges."
Torin paled "No please listen to me! You have the wrong man."
