"What happened, what? To Sebastian?" Titania was a bit confused. They couldn't exactly have been expecting a phone call from him right? He said he hadn't spoken to them in four years. "Well, he's a bit...indisposed at the moment." Not like that really answered anyone's questions, but she'd be telling the woman her plan momentarily, so, no harm done, right?
---
Farin just shook his head, though slowly, with all of the remaining energy he could muster. "I'm just gonna...lay here...maybe sleep. Sleep is good."
---
Tavra had just lay down in bed when one of the men had come banging on his door to get him up. They assured him it was of great importance, so he made haste as he got dressed and walked quickly down to the loading dock where they had been holding a prisoner. He looked oddly familiar but Tavra really couldn't put his finger on why. When the other man said his name aloud he thought that might have been it, but the name clicked elsewhere in his mind.
"That's impossible. Zaneferzenis was just brought into holding a day or two ago, by Sergeant Zaporozhet of the Brigade. There's no way the sergeant would have made a mistake, so who is it you have here?"

And just like that the tears started. Her son was dead, he had been killed some where out in the universe and now someone was doing the dirty work, finding the family and informing them. "How did it happen?" She asked her voice cracking from the strain of tears.
"Mom!" Calypso jumped and up and made it to her mother's side in no time. "What wrong!? What happened?!"
Nova shook her head and put up the sign for her daughter to be quite.
~ ~ ~ ~
Cella smiled softly. "Rest well Master Farin." Leaning down she gave him a small lingering kiss. She'd wait here until her brother came around, then she'd get him to carry Farin to their room so she could properly tend to him.
~ ~ ~ ~
Torin glanced up, finally a sane person in a room of loony people. "I'm Torin Catori! My twin brother is Zaneferzenis. He is the pirate. I Design clothes. Heck." He said looking to on of the council men. "You're wearing some of my clothing!"

"How did..." Titania paused. The woman certainly sounded upset. She guessed that she really just wanted to hear from her son. "Well ma'am, my brother shared his good Andromedian liquor with him. You know, one shot of that stuff is enough to knock a grown man on his a**, anyway, I'm pretty sure those idiots finished the bottle alone."
Galileo was still listening to the conversation. He saw the women in a frenzy but something about the conversation just didn't strike him as straightforward.
---
Tavra gave the man a short stare down before he pulled his own planner out to search for the man who the falsely accused was claiming to be. "Let him go, you idiots, and someone please read their morning reports from now on. I don't want to be bothered for something like this again."
After the men in the room uncuffed the fashion designer, Tavra reached down to help him to his feet. "I apologize, on behalf of these idiots, but I don't know what they were doing. Honestly."

Nova stopped, of all the ways to die in the universe. "My son died because he over drank?"
Calypso started to cry, her brother was dead?! How terrible, she hadn't even said good bye to him.
~ ~ ~ ~
Torin gave a small sigh of relief. Last thing he wanted to do was end up in jail for his brother. Sure he loved him, but not that much. "Thank you." He said taking the help up from his rescuer. "I thought I really was going to end up in jail for sure this time." He gave a small weak smile "Though honestly this isn't the first time I've got picked up because of Zane."

"Died?" Titania was a bit shocked. Was that how it sounded, "No, no, ma'am, you're mistaken, he's not dead at all. He's fine, he's just, like I said, indisposed for the time being. Dead? No not at all. Didn't Tavra -the man who called- tell you why I called?"
Galileo had almost leapt up as well until he heard the woman on the other end's response as well. He sank into the chair and reached up for his sister. "He's fine. Sit."
---
"That's pretty sad. Though, to be honest, your brother might be throwing you under the bus at this point, knowing that you have a double running around makes it pretty easy to escape, doesn't it?" Tavra shrugged. "Anyhow, can I call you a shuttle at the very least, so you can get back to whatever you were doing?"

"No." Nova sobbed trying to calm down "What," She took a deep calming breath. "Why then? I mean is he ok?"
Calypso turned on Galileo, hugging him and hiding her face to cry. She wasn't sure what was going on. But if there was any chance that her brother was dead she didn't like it.
~ ~ ~ ~
"That would be fantastic, but you see. Is there any way I could get you to take me- to my brother?" Torin asked with a devilish smile. He couldn't help that he found the other man attractive. "I didn't know he was in prison. I'd like to see him? Is there any way you could let me see him, please?"

"He's fine, I mean, aside from the hangover, but usually he doesn't do that." Titania shrugged, "But I called because he said he hadn't even heard from his family since, well, you know in the last four years. Well, his birthday's coming up and I have friends in high places, I thought it might be a nice surprise."
---
Galileo smiled and pat the girl comfortingly, "It's fine. Everything's fine, I promise."
---
"I can't, I'm sorry. I'm busy, and, well, that place is maximum security, they don't exactly have visiting hours." Tavra gave the man a semi-apologetic look, "I'm sorry."

Nova gave a soft "Oh." She had almost forgotten. Times and years being different on almost every planet made it almost impossible to remember birthday. "I think that would be wonderful. We haven't been able to get reach him, we didn't even know where he was."
"How- do you know?" Calypso sobbed no longer able to hold anything back, the years of pent up worry finally spilling out in violent heart wrenching sobs.
~ ~ ~ ~
Torin didn't like that answer, he was never told 'no', Torin Catori always got what he wanted. "I could pay you, or" He had noticed the man was wearing boots of his "I could make you something, I'd hand make it of course, sew my emblem on it." Torin gave a soft pleading look "Please I'll do anything you want, I just need a few minutes to talk to my brother."

"Awesome, so, maybe just throw those coordinates at me and I can have us there in, what is it, a week now? Yes, I think next week." Titania had opened a separate screen of her planner so she could make a note of the address as it was told to her.
---
Galileo opted just to shrug. "Lucky guess." He then nodded to the girl's mother who no longer appeared stressed or distraught.
---
Tavra never liked an opportunity to be stereotypically gay, but he also never liked to pass up opportunities to get things for free -especially designer things. He thought on it for a moment before he searched through his planner for a moment and nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll see what I can do."

"Right." Nova said glancing over and motioning to Galileo to come over. "I am terrible with that stuff, so I'll give you to my other son, Galileo. He's rather good with this kind of stuff." Nova held the phone out for the man to take.
Calypso slowly let go, though her tears didn't stop she was slowly starting to calm down.
~ ~ ~ ~
"Thank you." Torin said hiding his pleasure at getting what he wanted. "I'll only take a few minutes of your time, I promise. And in return, I'll make what ever you want. Name it." He said walking up and slowly pushing the man's planner down. "Or if you want something else." He smiled innocently.

"Sure." Titania just agreed, focused on her own planner at the moment. She had to make sure they were either en route or close enough to wherever this family was to make it there in a week. It worked out quite well, in fact, as the man gave her coordinates of an address a few days past where they were headed. In a different direction, sure, but at least they wouldn't have to backtrack around the universe, or go too far. She thanked him and was allowing him to go when he stopped her for a moment.
---
"I'm sorry I won't keep you it's just, I am curious, as I'm sure my family is: who are you?" He was silent as he allowed the woman to answer before he thanked her and hung up the phone. "Guys...?"
---
Tavra tried not to seem to compelled by the man's, seemingly multiple, offers. He shrugged, "Alright sure, thanks." He nodded to where he would be catching them a ride in one of the higher ranking shuttles and nodded for the other man to enter first.

Nova was rubbing Calypso's back softly. "What is it Galileo?" she asked.
"Is something the matter?" Calypso looked up from her mother's shoulder, hear tears nearly dry.
~ ~ ~ ~
Torin gave his new friend a flirtatious smile before he slid into the back seat. "Well dang, this is a nice ride." He glanced around, noticing they would have complete privacy. "I guess this would mean you're pretty high up their in rank hu?"

"Sebastian...has...a girlfriend?" He uttered the statement more like a question. As if he thought there was no way it could be right. "That's who she said she was anyway." He still looked a bit stunned. "How could he have any interest in a girl that wasn't a machine or a comic book character?"
---
"Vadstatzch." Tavra replied, settling in to the seat as the door shut beside him. "It's closest English equivalent is Earl. Anaxatar is a Political-Military hybrid state, so its hierarchy doesn't translate well, especially not into English. Usual English military rankings are reserved for special police forces in Anaxatar. All of the titles are translatable except for the four rulers, their like presidents, but elected for life and they represent most of the executive powers. Ah-" Tavra stopped himself and chuckled softly, "I'm sorry. You didn't ask for a poli-sci lecture."
---
Titania made her way to the bridge to find what looked like the ending of a tragedy playing out between Cella and Farin. She raised a brow and opened her mouth to remark but quickly shut it and shook her head. "Nevermind. I don't care." She took a seat in her chair before asking the computer to add another destination to the route. "Oh, and my dear, sweet automated co-pilot. Only the Captain is allowed to access the route until our venture is complete. Clear?"
The computer responded with a simple, "Crystal." then proceeded to lock down all of its navigational systems.

] "What!?" Calypso shot up from her chair, her sadness completely forgotten. "You have to be kidding me! There is no was Sebastien could have gotten a girlfriend! He's a total dork girls don't go for dorks!"
"Oh he has a girlfriend. How cute." Nova smiled proud of her son.
~ ~ ~ ~
Torin smiled and scooted closer so he could lay a hand on his arm. "No. It's ok. You're clearly proud of who and what you. I don't mind listening. I stay locked up in my room most of my days I don't know much about the people around me." He rolled his eyes up to look at the larger man. "Tell me more?"
~ ~ ~ ~
Cella glanced up, she wouldn't ask about what the captain was planning. It wasn't her business. "Ms. Titania." Cella asked softly not wanting to risk waking her master. "Is there any way I could get you to find my brother? I need to get Master Farin into bed." Mostly because she knew the floor was uncomfortable, and well her legs were had long since fallen asleep.

Galileo raised one eyebrow then turned to his sister. "Bets on what she looks like? Loser does winner's chores for a month? Eh? Come on, you know you want to." He laughed, "Oh, and before you ask, no, it was a linked military call, I couldn't access her information and look her up. So, what's your call? I'm thinking she's like 'got a great personality' right? And by that I mean hideous."
---
Tavra glanced down, and attempted to make the glance casual. "Ah no, I couldn't. And what do you mean you spend all of your time locked away? Don't you go everywhere, and meet all kinds of people? That's what I'd think your job was like."
---
Titania turned and gave the girl a pitying smile. "Well, if you're sure you can't just leave him there, I'll get him to bed for you." She stood and approached the two, stopping by Farin's side. Taking a quick moment to put both hands to her hips and lean over him a bit, Titania pulled back a leg and kicked the man in the side. "Wake up, queer. You're drooling on my bridge."
Farin was jerked awake to, just a wonderful shooting pain in the side. He managed to open his eyes to see one of his sisters and then rolled them. "God I hate you." He muttered.
"You did this to yourself." Titania shook her head and shrugged as she turned to walk away from the bridge once more.
