"I believe their shilds are active, if their weapons are armed I can't tell."

Arthur went and stood behind the tactical station, and Astrid slid into the Ops station next to Lilith at the helm. "Orders captain?" Arthur asked his sister.

An alarm buzzed, and Lilith turned back to her console, "We have ship approaching. Unknown type and configuration."

The helm bleeped. "Here we are," Lilith said briging up the expanding swirls of blues and yellows as the event horizon of the wormhole explanded to reveal itself. Arthur glanced at Dianna and settled into his seat. He took a deep breath and said, "Take us in Lilith." The ship plunged into the wormho...

Arthur smirked, "You and Kim. I swear you two were evil geniuses give your respective parents regular heart attacks." "We all did," Lilith said without looking up from the helm.

"We're all wealthy," Lilith said simply. "We are the children of rulers after all. Now, what do we need? The girls should be here tomorrow with the new ship. Where is everyone else?"

"You don't have to have a serious relationship if you don't want to," Lilith said sympathetically. "The Privy Council has been trying to marry me off for years."

"You know," Lilith said. "Royal blood flows through your veins. Who was it Arthur?" "Huh?" He looked at her confused for a moment. "Oh yeah, of course.
