The Duchesses of Star Base 12

Lord Richard William Carey, Duke of Bedford Territory

Lord Richard William Carey,  Duke of Bedford Territory couldn't get Karissa out of his head and he thought of her constantly since taking her to Madame's Boarding House, but she seemed so uninterested in him as he gave her ride t o Madame's Boarding House.

None of the three Great-grandsons of Lord Frederick William Howard were married and Lord Richard William Carey was the second great-grandson born to Lord Frederick William Howard through his daughter, Lady Sophia Charlotte that married Lord William Carey. 

Lord Thomas William Howard the great-grandson of Lord Frederick William Howard through his youngest son, Lord Andrew Charles Howard that became Duke of Northumberland Territory by marrying Lady Elizabeth Percy had a son, Lord Thomas Edward Howard that married Lady Bethany  McCarthy had Lord Thomas William Howard in January of 2250 and he was the first born great-grandson of Lord Frederick William Howard  and the last great-grandson that was born to Lord Frederick William Howard was  Lord Andrew Charles Howard born in December 21, 2250 to Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR and Lady Patricia that was the eldest son of Lord Charles Andrew Howard SR and the middle son of Lord Frederick William Howard SR.

Lord Frederick William eldest son, Lord Frederick William JR and his wife, Lady Suzanne Bell had Lord Frederick William Howard III in 2250.

Both of Lord Charles Andrew Howard's JR eldest sons were married and it only four of the great-grandsons weren't married and they were all looking for their brides.

None of the great-grandsons of Lord Frederick William Howard were interested in marrying a daughter of an aristocrat and they wanted to marry for love like their great Uncle, Lord Frederick William and like their first cousin, Lord Richard Edward SR and his son did, Lord Richard Edward JR. 

There was always a price for marrying for love in the Howard family and Lord Frederick and his children and Lord Richard Edward and his children would pay the price by being disinherited for doing so, and they wouldn't be restored to grace until Lord Andrew Charles became Duke of Norfolk Territory in 2275.

Lord Thomas William Howard, Lord Richard William Carey, and Lord Andrew Charles Howard were looking for their brides, and Lord Frederick William Howard III was looking for his bride two years later in 2277.

One day Lord Andrew Charles Howard was  walking toward StarFleet Academy and he noticed Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell sitting under the tree that overlooks Star Fleet Academy and he watches her from a distance and he asks some of the students that attend Star FleetAcademy " Who is the new girl  sitting under the tree?" Lord Andrew Charles asks.

"Lord Andrew Charles Howard. She just arrived on Star Base 12. No one knows her name. She has been sitting under the same tree every day. If you watch her long enough. She gets up and dances and sings on top of the hill that overlooks StarFleet Academy."  The student tells him.

"Someone has to know her name." Lord Andrew Charles  tells the student.

"I hear Lt. Riley knows her name." The student tells Lord Andrew Charles.

"Oh really. My old buddy Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley knows her." Lord Andrew Charles asks.

"It is what I heard." The student tells him.

"She was on the U.S.S. Republic  with him when the picked him to bring him back from Rigel Seven to attend his family's funeral." The student tells him.

"I heard that Kevin lost his family to Kudos the Executioner. I hope they catch the butcher and execute him the same way for taking so many innocent lives."  Lord Andrew Charles states.

Lord Andrew Charles sees Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley walking down the sidewalk and he stops and he sees Karissa sitting on top of the hill that overlooks StarFleet Academy and he walks up to Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley, "Hey old buddy. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your family."  Lord Andrew Charles tells Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley.
