On:

Sav stared at the communications screen in her quarters. As a member of a neutral considered friend galactic power, she had a diplomatic communications console in her quarters. She steeled up the courage, then punched in the numbers for her sister's communications personal net device. She knew she was calling about 5 pm her sisters time, and so was hoping to catch her between job and party life. The device rang.

The other screen opened in an airy room. Kendra was standing being fitted for a garment. As soon as she saw who was calling, she was all smiles, and she began 'shooing' everyone in the room away ...

Sav smile broadened immensely as she saw her younger sister's face. She had grown into a beautiful, young woman, but that it was Kendra, Dray, was easily seen by the familial markings and her birthmarks along her jawline, well, by Sav, at least. A tear fell down Sav's face from her right eye as she said, "Kendra, Dray.. It's Sav.. Enna, I... I... miss you so much. I... ummm, can talk about what happened now. Ummm, I had surgeries, and psychic surgeries, to repair what was done to me. Ummmm, is this an OK time? If not... I can call back later?"

Plopping herself down on a chair, she sees the tear and her smile slips, "What's wrong big sister, I've scared everyone off, 'talk about what happened?', yes this is a great time. I haven't heard from you in a long time, what is going on with you, spill it!"

Sav burst out in a nervous chuckle. She continued with, "Wrong, no nothing wrong, now. Back then, plenty. Back then, I was forced not to talk, yet you knew something was wrong.. I just couldn't say why, they just wouldn't let..." Sav paused, a wondrous expression appearing on her face as she leaned in closer to the screen. A large smile spread across her muzzle as she exclaimed, "Wait, you, something wondrous is happening with you. You're being fitted for clothing, so, what's the occasion? College Grad, advanced degree, wedding???"

Smiling and standing up, Kendra slowly spins around, "I've been asked to sing at a special event, three weddings happening at the same time! I'm so excited, and scared at the same time, Enna!" Moving back to her chair and sitting down she almost glows, then frowns, "Hey, you turned that around on me, what's going on with you. We haven't heard anything except that your ship, ummm, the Merling, no the Merlin right. We heard you had a run in with those nasty Borg. So tell me, what's going on?"

Sav sat back and sighed, looking fondly at her younger sister. "First, Dray, that is great news. I told you many times you had a golden voice... that is so awesome... and it is good to be scared, it keeps you honest." She churred out, her tail fluffing twice, then she shook herself to prepare for the next topic. "Yeah, It's the USS Merlin, pride of the fleet out here. Well... heh, a lot has happened. Over the last several years, I have been CAG Officer, almost died from a deliberately doped internal mesh, had several surgeries to repair my innards... and, um, intimate bits, had psychic surgery, changed to Chief Flight Officer, encountered a borg, a weird nebula, rescued a child and was in stasis for a while, and now am in route to my next mission. I have had enough counseling to finally talk about Mr. Thompson and his Island without re-experiencing significant trauma." Sav took a breath, then sighed, and finished with, "You and your classmates were close to the truth about Mr. Thompson.. he did run a slave training trade, including all sorts of deviant intimate acts. Umm, yeah, you were right."

On the verge of tears, Kendra smiles, then smacks her communication display, "These things are stupid, I need to hug you Enna, but, but, we're so far away. You need a hug, isn't there someone there who can give you one?"

Sav's face showed surprise at Kendra hitting the monitor, but then softened while her eyes misted at what her lil' sister said. Her body surged slightly as her thoughts whirled, then sagged as her demeanor changed to barely held back tears with an expression of almost grief. She said aloud, her voice cracking slightly, "I have a boyfriend, but I feel more like being held by a girl right now... and no, no one right now." Sav shook herself, and added, "I really wish you were here as well, Dray, I truly do. So much has happened, but I was never able to say... umm, my mind was messed with by psychic imprints to prevent me from telling the truth... that I am from a psychic race was not known, so my natural compartments and abilities kept the real me safe, otherwise.... heh.. umm, they are gone now, and I am still me... just, it will take years of counseling to really deal with what happened to me... at least I can talk about it now, kind of."

"Boyfriend, tell me all the details, and yes I'd love to meet him..."

Sav's expression showed surprise and amusement. Dray had latched onto her having a boyfriend and skipped what else she had to say. Then again, Sav had been the studious one who had not had any boyfriend, or true friends (except the academy) since Mr. Thompson's island stay. She burst out in a churr and responded with, "Drayyyyyyyy..." She snorted out in humor, then continued. "Okay, yes, I finally have a boyfriend, and one who doesn't mind waiting as I sort myself. He is a Cardassian Male, his name is Marbim Miles Rejal, Miles, and he is Executive Officer on board. He has such beautiful uv markings, besides his body's ridge markings. His personality is out of this world as well. I'll ask him to come join me shortly to meet you, honest."

Blushing and snickering, Dray looks at her sister with a somewhat serious expression on her face, "Enna, what happened to you, it sounds terrible, like a bad nightmare. Hopefully, whoever did it is locked up so they can't do it again...and yes, I would like to help you work through the psychological part, you're my sister and I love you...I just want you to be happy..."

Sav sighed out as a shudder went through her body. She kept back any tears, though, then said in a low voice that grew in intensity as she spoke. "Right, locked up. My Dear Sister, while it was Mr. Thompson who owned and operated the slave training dungeon, it was our own Apollonia Envoy, Federation Councilman Diostos Eurytlus, who bought me for my first taking and my pelt for his bedspread. A timely rescue by the IPA is the only reason I am alive, Diostros had effectively killed me... and all my terrors with that StarFleet Medical Research Facility were from the Councilman trying to cover his tracks. He is a Celebrated Councilman of the Federation, of course he will never pay. And Mr. Thompson just moved to another continent... he is still probably going strong as well... thanks to that damned Diostos."

At the end of her speaking, Sav's body was tensed up in anger and resentment as she was finally able to speak about what happened to her family. She breathed hard, staring intently at Dray, until realizing she was acting out in front of her younger sister. She sat back down, her tail shaking to clear her emotions, as she quietly added, "Ummm, sorry... that was.. uncalled for."

"It's alright Enna, you need to get it out. You lived a nightmare, its only natural that you're still suffering in some way from what was done to you, besides, you can vent to me all you want, I'm your little sister and I love you. I'm just glad you're still here ... any chance of you coming home for a visit?"

Sav blushed, then responded, "Thanks Dray. And, yeah, I can come home now to visit, I think. I couldn't before, not with what happened... Tell you what, I will check with my counselor to see if she thinks I am ready." She crinkled her nose in a familial smile, then asked, "So, Dray, wanna meet Miles? I am ready to call him over to visit ifin you want."

Clapping her hands Dray is all smiles, "Yes oh yes, you were always the prim and proper one, let's see who is your shoulder to cry on Enna...wait did you say ridges?"

Sav churred in pleasure as she replied, "Yes, ridges. They feel interesting, and he likes me tracing them, because I am his girl. He is a Cardassian. A misunderstood race, kindof like us, and he has a gorgeous personality. Here, one second..." Sav shifted and turned on a secondary display. She called Miles.

=^= Hey Miles, it's Sav.. are you available?=^=

Sav catches Miles in a Holodeck program, "One second beautiful..." fighting with what sounds like metal on metal ensues, then Miles says, "Computer end program..." a little out of breath he asks, "Sorry was playing with some unruly Klingons, what's up?"

Sav chortle-churred as she replied, "Boys and their toys..." She put her muzzle across the back of her interlaced fingers, "Well, I have my younger sister, Kendra, on a long distance call... and since we are talking about you, I wanted to know if you would like to meet her and say hi."

Looking stunned he smiles, "Sure, I'd love to meet your sister...I'll be right there."

Sav ended the call with Miles, then turned to smile at Kendra. "Miles will be here soon... and if I know him, rather soonish as this is the first time for him to meet another of my family. So, while we are waiting, does Dad still have his Civvy Shipyard job repairing infrastructure? I know Mom has been busy, I have been catching up on some of her now getting steamier romance novels..."

Kendra, while waiting for Sav's boyfriend to appear, begins filling Sav in with the details of how the family was doing in Sav's absence.

A few minutes later the chime to Sav's room goes off ...

Sav churrs lightly as she denotes to Kendra, "(sing song voice) Say, I wonder who that is... (normal voice) I'll be right back, Dray.."

When the door opens Miles is standing in what looks like an armored wrestling singlet, carrying at bat'leth with him, looking down at himself, "Sorry didn't take time to change, this sounded more important..."

Sav burst out in a giggle, then replied, "Talk about your dashing hero... common, you're fine. Come say high to my sister."

Sav led the way to the main communication screen. As she did, she telekinetically moved a chair over for Miles to sit upon. She sat Mile's down, then siddled into her seat pressing against him. On the viewscreen before him was a Mephetian, black with white markings, but the markings were very similar to Sav. On Dray's forehead was an irregular splotch but in the same spot as Sav's diamond marking. Kendra's inky black hair had white highlights, where as Sav's hair was silver/white with grayish blue highlights. Sav giggled as her head nodded towards Miles. "Miles, this is Kendra, my younger sister. Dray, this is Miles, my boyfriend. Say hi you two."

Miles reaches out and takes Sav's hand in his own. "Dray, nice to meet you. Sav hasn't told me a lot about her family, other than you are an accomplished singer, dancer, and artist. Oh, and that your mother writes steamy romance novels, and that your father runs a shipping business. I had teased her the other day about meeting her family, and here you are. I have so many questions, but let's get to the juicy ones first, whats her most ticklish spot, I owe her for hanging upside down on a tree limb several hundred feet in the air and trying to coax me out to join her while we were on Risa..." Miles is grinning from ear to ear as he asks...

Dray raised an eyebrow, than said, "Scared of heights, eh? We aren't, my family and I. I'm surprised Sav chose you as a boyfriend with that fear. However, I love the way you think. *sigh* Problem is, Sav was such a prodigy, that she was picked on, a lot. She managed to overcome the ticklish reaction as well as tripping from the constant picking on in High School." Dray sighed, then suddenly got a mischievous look on her face, then said, "Well, I guess if you were to seek out her feminine 'button' and tickle it, that would kick her into gear."

Sav blushed and retorted, "DRAY!!!" She knew what 'button' Kendra meant, and while she hadn't let Miles play with her clitoris yet, she knew it would get her going. She was getting to the mindset to be able to play, but Dray sure knew how to press her forward. She quickly nipped a neck ridge of Miles, hopefully letting him know she was fine with the 'ribbing' by her sister.

Though hard to tell, Miles is blushing as he leans into Sav and her nip, "I, uh, we, uh, hmmm, we're taking that part slow, however, I'm sure I can find something to get even with her." Looking at Sav, then back to Dray, "I noticed your sister my first day on the ship. I dated some during the Academy, but nothing substantial. The first time I saw Sav," he sighs, "it felt like I got hit by a lightning bolt. It took me a while to build up the courage to ask her out. She's special your sister, I consider her one of my very best friends, and I hope perhaps more someday. Now I don't want to take up your time to talk, I can, whats the term, skedaddle, so you girls can gossip..."

It was Sav's turn to blush. She hadn't even noticed she had such an effect on Miles. Then again, with her dating background, she wouldn't notice a caveman hitting her over the head with a club as an hello. She churred gently, remarking with a questioning voice, "I did? You did? I. ummm, I mean..."

Dray churred loudly, loving the antics by her Sister and her sister's boyfriend. She churr-giggled and replied, "Thanks, Miles, I appreciate that. Sorry you got the less experienced sister, but, I think you two were made for each other. Treat her right, and she'll treat you right. Thanks for talking with us, now it's girl talk about the boyfriend."

Sav blushed further while nipping Miles lower neck ridge. She couldn't believe how her younger sister now had the upper hand in understanding in her relationship with Miles. She whispered to Miles, "Thanks for meeting my sister, Miles." She was so embarrassed she didn't even think about getting up to show Miles the door.

Softly cupping Sav's face in his hands he kisses her gently, "I meant what I said, now have fun gossiping with your sister." Standing up he turns to the viewscreen, "Dray, it was a pleasure to meet you, don't keep your sister up all night gossiping." Grinning he grabs his bat'leth and heads to his cabin to get cleaned up for his upcoming shift.

Dray grinned at Sav as Miles left the room. She nodded towards the exit, stating, "He is a keeper. He even knew how to keep you off balance and exit the room in his own way. So, how much do you want to shag him?"

Sav look surprised and astonished, her cheeks turning beet red. She replied, "What?? No, what do you mean? I mean, maybe, but.. no, not yet.. I mean..."

Dray churr laughed and winked at Sav, "You two make a great couple. Both Naive, yet needing each other to further yourselves. He will treat you will, Sav, he will. So, you mentioned Mom's novel?"

Sav and Dray finished the call about family, fortunes, and books, while Miles remained on the back burner, for now.
