The kids have dispersed throughout the larger mobile base, finding their own things to do as they wait for everyone to return.

It's probably the longest she'd ever seen Spider and Lo'ak agree to stay in one place for so long, let alone behave themselves.

"I wanted to see some of the old videos from our parents." He explains, eyeing over Kiris shoulder as Spider seems to join in as well. "We never did get around to finishing watching them all."

"Is that me?" Spider asks as he leans over Lo'ak who's sitting criss-cross with a small table in front of him.

"Oh, I think so. I thought that was Da'mik."
  Who, by no surprise, is fast asleep in the other room as he quite enjoyed taking his naps.

"She's doing just fine. They had to perform a C-Section, sadly. She really wanted anything but that, however our little girl got stuck on her way out and they'd exhausted other options."
