They all left the room that connected with the exit to the Promenade. At that moment Ratchet felt a shiver.
????: "Jean Luc!"
The admiral froze at the sound of that familiar voice as they looked behind him seeing an older woman with curly hair.
Jean Luc turned with an uncomfortable look "Lxwana Troi. It's a pleasure to... See you again."
The betazoid smiled happily "Oh Jean Luc, you're still a lovely man as always. Oh~" She noticed the group, especially the crew members of Verity and the Sovereign. "You must be Alister and Rivet. It's a pleasure to meet more Lombax besides my grandson. I heard a lot about you guys. By the way~ Where's Ratchet, Rhys?"
The Andorian looked to his side where the Lombax should be only to find that it had disappeared. "..." He looked again "I'm very sorry but I'm afraid the captain is occupied in some matters."
"Oh, I wanted to give him a cuddle!" At that instant she grabbed Jean Luc's arm "Why don't we go for a drink and catch me up on your Starfleet work." The Admiral nodded uncomfortably "Of course.... Of course." He looked back with a look of asking for help as the rest looked on in confusion.
Lwxana Troi dragged him down the path to the Promenade shopping area disappearing into the passing crowd.
Rivet looked at Rhys who looked at a huge box shaking as Ratchet carefully opened it on guard "Has my grandmother left?"
Alister looked on amazed "Did you hide from her?" Hearing that the younger Lombax growled "She's.... Kind of flirtatious with people around. Once when I was a kid, she came to visit me on the Titan. She kept being so flirtatious with some of the people aboard the USS Titan. Even mom was having a terrible time."
Janeway looked amused "And I see it with the look on Jean Luc Picard's face when he meets her." Ratchet was panicking "I have to get back to the USS Verity before she sees me." He turned before he was startled to see a certain humanoid "AHHHH! Homn!"
Ratchet began to sweat nervously "Ah.... Hahaha... Long time, Homn. I didn't see grandma. Say hi from me if you don't mind."
Homn just nodded his head without saying a word as the Lombax ran out of there. Leaving the rest speechless, they had never seen Ratchet scared and panicked for his grandmother Lwxana Troi.
USS Verity/ Captain Room
Ratchet sat back in his office chair wearily as he could see from the window the docks of Derp Space 9. "Oh God, why did she have to show up at times like this."
Piki.
At the sound of the doorbell as he sighed "Come in." At that moment the automatic doors opened as Kyan enters "I came to see how you were doing Ratchet." Al by the rolled his eyes "I'm sorry you had to see that, Kyan."
The Lombax denied with a smile "Never mind." He sat down in front of the Lombax, Ratchet smiled "Well, Kyan. What do you think of Polaris, Solana and the Federation?"
The younger one smiled "Awesome, knowing that Tachyon is finally gone is wonderful but also.... Starfleet is amazing. Mags would go nuts on this technology."
"Mags? Isn't he one of the scientists who explored and mapped the dimensions when the first Dimensionator was created?" Ratchet was curious as Kyan nodded "Yes, with my Father Kaden."
Ratchet smiled "Our- I mean.... Your father is amazing, Kyan. The guardian of the Dimensionator."
"..." Kyan was quiet before looking at him "Ratchet.... Do you have any items that have a connection to your parents?" hearing that the elder pulled out a gear-shaped pendant made of jade.
