"Sir, I talked to your cousin, Lt Andrew Howard." Karissa replies.
"Lt Andrew Howard is my second cousin." Lt Commander Beck answers.

"As you wish David." Karissa replies.
"I have noticed you since you first arrived on Star Base 12 and I have watched you sing and dance under the sun light skies of Star Base 12." David tells Karissa.

"Understandable Karissa. Neither do I." David answers.
"What are you plans for the future?" David asks.
"David. I am taking up Medical Science and with that I hope to go into Pediatrics and working with children." Karissa answers.
"Karissa, once you finish two years of Star Fleet Academy. I would gladly give you an internship working with me side by side. You may take care of the children and I will take care of the students and adults." David tells her.
"David, I have to get through the first two years of this very boring studying." Karissa answers, "I really don't want to I would rather study The Arts and Humanities."
"Karissa. I know this much that there is Academy of The Arts and Humanities on Star Base 10." David tells her.
"David, I received a full scholarship to study at Star Fleet Academy." Karissa replies.

"David, I have other plans actually. You see I want a daughter and my love for Arts and The Humanities must come only after my child." Karissa replies.
"Correct Karissa, but don't you have to bed a man before you conceive?" David asks.
"Yes David, I know that I took high biology." Karissa replies with a laugh.
"You are the second one who has said that to me." Karissa replies again with another laugh.
"Who might that be Karissa?" David asks.
"Andrew Howard told me that too." Karissa replies.
"What else did Lt Howard say if I may be so bold to ask?" David asks
"Andrew did volunteer to be the father of my daughter." Karissa says with a laugh.
"What you would be the scoundrel Andrew Howard Karissa?" David inquires.
"I did not say that David, I said that he volunteered his services." Karissa replies.
"What about marriage Karissa?" David asks.
"What David, I don't believe in marriage it is understated and it takes the romance and love of it." Karissa replies.
"Karissa, You are very unorthodox young woman." David laughs.
"That may be so David, but I want a daughter and to ensure it is a daughter I will have an amniocentesis test to make sure that the child is a daughter." Karissa answers, "I will take it from there."
"What about the father's right Karissa?" David inquires.
"The father will have full rights." Karissa answers.
"I see and you realize that Lt Howard is an aristocrat?" David replies.
"Yes and according to Andrew so are you David." Karissa answers.
"This is true Karissa. I am both an officer and a gentleman." David replies.
"My late mother was Lady Eliza Howard and my late father was Lord David William Beck." David replies.
"I know David, Andrew told me all about you." Karissa replies.
"What did he tell you Karissa?" David replies.
"The only thing he told me is that you two were second cousins." Karissa answers.
"I am glad that he didn't open his big mouth." David exclaims.
"It was very nice to have met you David Beck. I am sure you will see me again." Karissa answers.
"Milady Karissa, that is my intention to see you again. May I visit you at Madam'e Boarding house." David asks.
"I will leave that up to you David." Karissa answers and David bows and says, "Good bye Karissa and I will see you soon."
