My other friend will host Lord and Lady Seymour, Lord and Lady Hastings, Lord and Lady Clifford, Lord and Lady Grey," Phillip explains.
"We know that your journey has been long and tiring as we experienced the same as we arrived here three months before you left Planet Earth." Philip states.
"We do have two children, Frederick and our daughter." Phyllis explains "They are very well behaved."

"You may call me Patrick and wife, Margaret." Lord Patrick William tells him.
"I will address you as Lord Patrick William and Lady Margaret as you are aristocrats." Phillip states.
"No Lord Howard. The United Federation of Planets and Star Fleet Command are slow about dispensing any news from Planet Earth." Phillip tells him "The last news we heard is that the International Red Cross is still trying to complete the causality list."

"Your friends and you are free to use it ." Philip tells him.
"We live very quietly here. When we left the United States it was in the midst of protesters against the war and demonstrators for the war." Samuel Anderson explains.
"We couldn't even walk the streets without being confronted about our views of the war." Samuel explains.
"We tried to remain neutral, but the jeering and hecking became too much for us to handle." Samuel tells them.
"I came up against much of the same thing in London with Lord John Carey and my brother-in-law, Lord John Devereux." Lord Patrick William tells him.

Finally in 2170, The United Federation of Planets and The International Red Cross completed the death list of people who died needlessly during the May Day horror and the year it followed due to radiation sickness.
The International Red Cross and The United Federation of Planets call the families together on Star Base 12 and they give their families the sad news that most of their families perished during the initial blast on May 1, 2153 and it brings the families even closer as they mourn the loss of their loved ones.
All the families come together for a memorial service in the chapel and they have a memorial service with all the names of their family members and commend them to the care of their deities.
