Sitting quietly watching the stars streak by on the main viewscreen,
Captain Trent Rodgers felt uneasy, but relieved. After months of
combat, the crew of the Lancelot was finally going to get a few days
of well deserved shore leave while the ship was updated with
improved weapons systems.
Meanwhile, Trent was going to be able to spend some time with his
brother, who was making little progress. The doctors continued to
make promises, and Trent knew they were doing their best, but in
this case, their best wasn't enough.
In a way, he didn't look forward to returning to Earth. He didn't
want to see Ricky in his current condition. Sarah, Trent's wife and
Rick's sister-in-law, had done her best to help make Ricky
comfortable, and Mai had made a couple of trips to Earth to be with
her husband. Trent just felt helpless whenever he saw Ricky. He
blamed himself for putting Rick in the middle of his own problems.
"ETA to Earth," Trent said from the captain's chair.
"Four hours and 22 minutes," the helms officer replied.
Trent stood, stretching his arms above him.
"I'll be in my ready room," he said.
Moments later, he walked behind his desk when he saw a message
flashing on his computer screen. He leaned forward to take a closer
look.
Trent allowed himself to grin for a brief moment.
The message was short and to the point and there was no mention
of where it originated, but Trent understood what it meant and knew
who had sent it.
