DeVeau: So you wanted me to tell you about him? ::beat:: If you could
clarify...are you, or are you not, Aron Kells?

Kells: I am. But -- you knew another man who was meant to be me. Older
bloke, crow's feet, graying hair?

DeVeau: Well, yeah.

Kells: He was -- hm. How do I explain it? I'm not really sure, because I
don't fully understand it myself. But, for lack of a better term, let's
say: a finger. He was created from me by the entity that we know as "The
Ring." I don't know what his purpose was, but while he was here, I wasn't.

DeVeau: Okay, that doesn't make any sense.

::Alora offered a rueful smile then lowered into her chair. She motioned
to the one other that was in the office.::

DeVeau: You can sit, I promise the chair won't eat you.

::She managed another smile, that one with a little more humour to it,
then shifted as she ruminated over the information he'd given her. 'The
Ring'. An entity.

DeVeau: So you've basically missed...what...a year of your life? More?

Kells: Well, as you can imagine, I'd like to catch up on a lot. I mean,
there's a lot that's classified, and I don't have captain-level
clearance any longer.

::Alora nodded. Lots of stuff was classified, even information she'd
gathered personally. No clearance for her, not even as Chief of
Science. At least, not to the classified information she wanted to look
at again. She could piece it together, what she remembered, but it
wasn't quite the same. What if she'd missed something? Her memory was
not as flawless as Saveron's, and he was gone for who knew how long?::

Alora: Okay. Well, I'll help where I can. What do you want to know?

Kells: What happened to the Mercury, for one. Where my old senior staff
went, too: Bale, Wulfantine, Velana, Richards. I -- really, anything you
can tell me would be helpful.

DeVeau: Well...okay, but keep in mind I wasn't really on the Mercury for
very long before it was decommissioned. I don't know anything about
Wulfantine or Velana, I never met them...but, I do know Bale if you mean
Lieutenant Commander Isaac Bale. As for Richards, that's actually a
pretty common human name so I don't know if I know the one you knew.

RESPONSE?

DeVeau: Unfortunately, I can't really say what happened to Bale. When
the Mercury was towed out of here and we transferred to the Garuda, I
didn't see him come along and to be honest, I haven't really checked his
file to see if it's been updated with a new station.

RESPONSE?

DeVeau: Oh, the Mercury. Well, we basically had to dump...well, I tell
you what, let me get you the report and you can read up about it.
It's...well, it's probably more than I can really tell you in one
sitting and I'm likely to forget something.

::Or want to forget something. There were certain aspects about that
particular mission that Alora wished she could just wipe from her mind.
As if attempting to do so, Alora shook her head and fixed another smile
upon her lips.::

DeVeau: I did get a chance to interact with Captain Kells...well, the
other Kells...for a bit.

RESPONSE?

DeVeau: He was...how do I put this...well, he was troubled. Worried
about what people thought about him. I think the choices he made in his
position, the outcomes, good or bad, affected him more deeply that he
might have wanted to admit.

RESPONSE?

DeVeau: He also killed my babies.

RESPONSE?

DeVeau: Yeah. I mean, I thought maybe if he had to take care of
something, it might help. But...he killed them. Well, actually, he
killed one of them. I managed to somehow get the other to not die.

RESPONSE?

DeVeau: Oh. No. I mean...they were plants. African violets. I gave
them a couple cause I'm constantly growing them so I constantly have
tons of them around. They're _really_ easy to propogate.

::She paused to eye the young version of the man she had known before.
Kells but not Kells, but really Kells or...she wasn't exactly sure.

DeVeau: I'd offer you one, but I'd have to have a solemn vow that you'd
take care of it and not let it die.

::Because exactly how much like the other Kells was this
newer...er...younger version?

RESPONSE?

DeVeau: That's fine. Do you...have any more specific questions for me?
I'm sorry I've not been very helpful thus far.

RESPONSES?

OOC: If there's more he wants to ask, ask it and I'll back sim this part.

IC:



DeVeau: Um, anyway...do you mind if I ask some questions of my own?

RESPONSE?

DeVeau: Well, this 'Ring' entity you spoke of. I'd really like to hear
more about it - if you're willing to talk about it.
