Timeline: MD2, 1235hrs

Something about K'Temoc didn't feel right. She was sensing some deceit from him as well as she felt no emotions from K'Temoc when he found out his ship was damaged. Deela gave K'Temoc a curious and untrusting stare. She then looked over at Bremer and she could tell that he was questioning if K'Temoc was who he was.

When the ship shook one more time, it tossed her again. She saw Mike fall and that he was suffering from his wounds but she needed to get to her kids. And she knew that Mike would make her go and not tend to him, so she just got up and left. As she walked, she felt sad and angry at the same time. She still was getting overwhelmed by all these emotions that she was letting in after all these years of her father's teaching her to not feel and her needing his approval. Those days were over.

She approached her quarters. She gave her code word, then Brandon gave his. The door opened. She could hear Raivyn crying hysterically. Brandon ran up to Deela and gave her a hug, "Mom, you're okay."

Deela hugged him back, "I am. Sorry I wasn't here for the both of you."

Brandon waved it off, "You're here now. We got tossed around a bit but Raivyn got it the worst."

Deela walked over to Raivyn and checked her over, looking for any injuries she might have gotten. She tried to calm Raivyn down, "It's okay Raivyn. I'm here." She finished checking her over, "Does anything hurt?"

"I hurt my shoulder when I hit the wall. It hurts." Raivyn showed her where.

Deela looked for bruising, "It's okay. I don't see any bruises." She moved her arm, checking to see if she could move it and to what extent the pain was. She took a deep breath and let it out, "I don't think you've fractured it."

Brandon watch as his head was filled with a million questions, "Mom. What is going on? Who's attacking us."

"I'm not sure but a group of people have sabotaged this base. The Yorktown exploded, damaging all of the ships including mine and I just got that ship. They've destroyed the communications array and now we have to way to communicate with anyone."

"Is that why I couldn't contact you?" Brandon asked.

"I must have broken my comm badge when I fell the second time." She started thinking out loud, "It's strange how this all happened after they sent around 19 ships to Earth."

"Mom, what are we going to do? What about you?" Brandon was concerned.

"I have to get back. Bremer is hurt still but knowing him, he won't let it stop him. As for you and Raivyn, I need you to stay here until I can find a safer place for you two to stay."

"Mom?" Raivyn didn't want her to leave. "Do you really have to go?"

"I'm sorry baby but I am the XO here. I have responsibilities." Deela didn't want to go either.

"But you have responsibilities here, with us." Raivyn sighed.

"I know and I'm sorry. Look, you're in good hands with your brother. Plus, he's going away to the academy in six months. Enjoy him while you can."

Deela hugged both of them, "Love you both."

Deela needed to get back to OPS. She was concerned about K'Temoc and Mike.
