Mission: Episode 121 - "Where There's A Section, There's A Way"
Location: Docking Bay 4
Timeline: Before the Party

Vox, despite being seven months pregnant, was still doing what work she could, but pacing herself so as not to tire herself out too quickly. She was currently at Docking Bay Four, conducting minor updates to essential systems. As she worked, a ship was in the process of docking.

Once docked, the main doors opened to allow her passengers to board the station. Vox wasn't deliberately listening to the conversations of the people as they came aboard, but she caught something which made her stop working.

"Good to be back on the station, isn't it, Jack. " one man exclaimed.

"Definitely. It was a good trip back. Who knew that our ACEO had a twin sister." Jack replied.

The two men headed off, not noticing Vox by the side of the hatch.

She watched the rest of the people coming off the transport and, sure enough, her suspicions were correct. Coming off the transport, nearly last, was her mirror counterpart who, since the whole incident many months ago, had been living with her parents on Trill, was now back here.

Vox walked up. "You could have told me you were coming."

Dee smiled. "Sorry, It's kind of a last-minute thing. "she replied. Her gazed transfixed on Vox's large pregnant belly. "Whoa, Last time I saw you, I didn't think you had a partner. Things have seriously changed." Dee added.

"Jaxon and I have been close for a while. It's only in the last year or so that things suddenly jumped to warp, so to speak. " Vox explained.

"I see, well I am just here to see you, our mother, if I am still ok to say that, suggested I come. She's not heard from you in a while and.. " Dee got cut off.

"Wanted to you to come check on me. Bless. Yeah, she's our mother. Have you got some quarters assigned for your stay?" Vox asked.

"Yep. When do you get off duty?" Dee asked.

"18:00 Hours. Meet me at the Bajoran Cafe for 18:30 Hours?" Vox asked.

"Sure thing." Dee replied. She then headed to find her quarters.

Vox watched her walk down the corridor. "I think I should let the Admiral know who's come to visit," she muttered to herself, getting back to work.

She tapped her combadge. =^= Vox to Admiral T'Lar=^=

Deela needed to talk to Raivyn,. She wanted to go to a friend's birthday party. Just when she was going to let her know that she could go, her combadge went off, =^= Admiral T'Lar here. Is everything okay?=^=

=^=Well, I wasn't sure if I should advise you of this but I thought about it and decided it was wise. My mirror counterpart, whom I rescued and went to live with my parents, has turned up, unannounced, on the station. =^=

=^=Really. That was unexpected. Do I need to be concerned?=^= Deela didn't know why she was there. It could be bad or not bad.

=^= I don't know. I'm hoping not but I thought it wise to advise you of her presence. At least this time, we can easily tell who is who. For one, she's not heavily pregnant. =^=

=^= Okay. You know, she could fake it, if she wanted to. =^= Deela smiled, =^=Sorry, I am in weird form right now. Anyway, her intent being here may be innocent but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I'd like to keep an eye on her, if it's okay with you.=^=

=^=Absolutely. She could just be doing my mother's wishes, and keeping an eye on me, but.... Best to keep an eye on her. =^= Dee was was now on the move down a corridor whilst still in touch via the Comms system.

=^=I'll assign someone to watch her." =^= Deela checked the time, =^= Anything else you need from me? If not, I have a meeting I need to get to." =^=

=^=No. All is good with me. Enjoy your meeting. Thanks for you help. Vox out.=^=
