"N1515 alpha requesting permission to dock for repairs."  a young man  said to station control as he pulled out of plynic travel and into orbit of the station Copernicus.  The station controller said "Clear to land in docking bay three ring two."  He prepared my ship for auto landing guided by central link with Copernicus because this was the first time he'd been to this station.  The com chime sounded and the chief tech's voice boomed in "I don't know what help we can be I've never seen let alone repaired a ship even remotely looking like yours but I'd still be glad to help!" The tech almost seemed too eager to repair the young man's ship of course since the people at Kepler 2 were very advanced when it came to most things having to do with intellect.  As the young man's ship gently purred into the third bay of the second ring the door closed behind us and the bay pressurized.  The ship bleeped its contentment with the size of its living space and asked for any further instructions.  He said no to his old friend and asked it to open the port doors and unload the small amount of cargo they carried.  The station security chief along with a Psi-Corps telepath came to make sure the young man wasn't a terrorist this of course was standard protocol at any ISA station with our people.  He of course thinks it is a little paranoid of them but rules are rules and rules help form trust.

 He was brought to the customs room where a young woman was sitting at the table with the security chief.  She had short military hair dyed a strawberry blond.  She had a soft dark blue satin dress with the Psi-Corps insignia pinned onto the lapel.  Her eyes glowed with burning disgust almost screaming "You mess with me and I'll make your life here hell."  She had the dampening thoughts of a deeply enthralling book on her mind.  She must have been relaxing with a book when they called her.  She looked at him and suddenly realized he was eaves dropping on her thoughts and blurted out in disgust "Stop scanning me you, you, scoundrel."  He looked at her with his empathetic eyes and said calmly "What were you reading anyway?"

 "Tell him to stay out of my head!" she screamed and said "This isn't about me it's about you now stop flirting and answer my questions with a yes or no and we both can get on with what we both were doing before!"  She shrieked this with urgency.  She scowled and said in a bothered and deft voice "You lie or even think of lying your out, clear."  Her face with an authoritative confidence as she began.

 "Have you ever been a part of Psi-Corps?" she said and mentally asked her innate P10 ability showing through in an attempt to make him nervous.

 "Yes ma'am" he said mentally and spoke saying "Of course I have and you know it Miss Penseque because you received my records a week ago when I sent it."

 She a little nervous about his P8.5 being a little stronger than she had expected most high range P8's were she thought that she'd put him in his place and all others like him back where they belonged.  "Have you ever committed any acts of terror against Psi-Corps, Earthforce, or the ISA."

 He looked at her with a grin and said, "No, and you know, you have the most beautiful brown eyes I've seen in a while"

 She looked at him and screech "Listen you little blip troll you better stop looking at me as a possible defector and look at me as someone who you should kiss up to, to stay on this station!"  "Next, have you ever been arrested for possession of illegal goods."

 He grinned a little less and thought she'd be a hard one to win over she's like some sort of arrogant Psi-Corps monster but god those eyes.  He said "No, not ever sorry to disappoint."

 She glared at the young man and said to them both "He's clean and I'm leaving now."  Her eyes glowed like to small explosions just went off and her face was a bright shade of pink she liked this trollish rogue for some odd reason and she had a feeling this wouldn't be the last of him.

 The security officer asked him a few more questions especially about his cargo and then treated the young man like an old friend when the security officer asked the young man about his little JJ, the ship.  "Officially my ship is a JJ1X or Jumping Jalopy Experimental," The young man told him with a smile "but I call her JJ."  He looked at the young man with raised eyebrows and a wrinkled forehead "It looks like a very old Narn ship.  What's so special about her other than she's yours?"  The young robed man looked at him gingerly and a little chagrinned "Well I rebuilt her and added tech that we reinvented from archeo-tech."  With a look of being impressed the chief left and the chief technical officer and his crew said "What can we do to help?" they all had eager looks on their faces they were the tops of the repair crew and they still didn't think they could hack it.  "The only problems I have with her are that the cargo bay doors need a hinge replacement and I need some hull damage fixed not to technical I'm afraid."  Even though he had stated this "major repair" that was needed they still were more than over eager to work on such a high tech ship even though it was a mundane and energy consuming repair.

 The young man transferred them each one hundred and ten credits for the five techs and an extra fifty to the Senior tech for watching them like a hawk.  He knew Earthforce and anybody else would pay them to talk about what they found so he helped them expedite the process by chipping in.  The hinges were in stock and the metal the young man required to their dismay was only a half a ton of steel scraps and some silica sand.  He really only came to drop off some microscanners and some sonic field emitters for the station's new containment systems.  They were only designed for back up use but two of the doctors had strange ideas on how to use them in other ways, like the young man's father or more correctly his adoptive father, He's more into ancient tech.

 The quarters they had available were small but then again they were only meant for a light stay.  He had just unloaded his study material for telepathic improvement skill when his door popped open and the Psi-Corps woman waltzed in.  "So, this is where you live you little rogue."

 "I was just about to start my homework my father gave me to do."

She sneered and said "Oh, really where does he teach and what does he teach."

 He looked up warmly at her and boldly state "My father is a professor of archeo-technology and psi-ability enhancement at Kepler 2 University for the college of the psychic arts.  He also teaches for the college of archeo-technology.  He's made many discoveries and written many papers."

 She looked at him in horror "That man must print lies and filth everyone knows that you are what your genetics say you are and you can never be more."  The woman thought a little "This could be why he seemed stronger than his report said he was but that's impossible he was rated by our standards and no one can get stronger."  The woman looked at the picture on the table, it was of a young man and an older man but not too much older they looked very like brothers.  "Who is this with you?" as she walked over to the picture and picked up with interest and an odd slightly hopeful thought.

 "That's me and my dad Ted he's the one I was talking about."

 She looked up in half shock and checked if this young twenty year old man was lying finding that he wasn't she said "But, how could he be he doesn't look much older than his late twenties?"

 "Well that's because he's not my real father.  He's my adoptive father, my real father and mother died in the Psi-Corps Blip war.  I was never really registered with Psi-Corps but recently I did in order to obtain business jobs.  I had too give them my original rating to hide..." The young man trailed off afraid that she'd go back to Psi-Corps and grab him for study.

 "To hide what," she looked with some sympathy and concern.  Though she was Psi-corps and hated blips, she could feel the pain of loosing one's parents to Psi-Corps, after all she was still human, "What did you have to hide and why?"

 The young man looked up to her and sighed, his eyes burned with sadness, "That I'm a Telekinetic and have learned much more than Psi-Corps would teach."  The man gasped a sigh "Psi-Corps is going to try to take me because I am a teke and they have few of them."

 She looked and could feel his pain radiating out of him like fire the pain blocked something she couldn't tell what but she really couldn't care.  His pain was over whelming her.  She began to sob, his mind began to slip out of her grasp and deeper out of her reach and slowly her mind drifted into his reach as he grasped her mind her eyes went blank for a few seconds.  She snapped quickly out of his probing trance and looked with horror at him and then passed out with a hard gasp.

 The next thing she new she was in med lab one.  She had a very bad head ache and couldn't remember where she'd been except that she had met the rogue in his quarters and found out that his father a very attractive man was around her age.  She felt slightly drawn to him and wanted to look for him.  She asked the doctor who had brought her here.  The doctor said, "It was a young man in black robes he said his name was Micheal Huxley.  He told me to inform him when you woke up."  She looked puzzled at the doctor and thought, "Why would he want to know when she had awakened?"  The answer burst into her mind, "Because you know and you shouldn't."  She thought, "That's strange I didn't even think that but it was my voice in my mind hmmm..."  She asks the doctor "How long have I been here?"  The doctor said in a kind warm voice "Roughly 62 hours"  She thought "Oh my god what happened to me to knock me out for a little under three days."

 She walks to the young rogue's room and found that he had spent five days there and had already left.  She looked at the file in disbelief and thought "How is this possible I was brought to med lab a little under three days ago and he was here for five?"  She looks more perplexed as she trys to figure out where the missing day would be.  She then continues to walk down the hall way to where her quarters are.  She enters her quarters and found that some of her things have been packed for a long trip or relocation.  She calls the station commander who is surprised to still see her on the station.  "Didn't you book passage off this station about four days ago Majel?"  She looks at the commander very perplexed saying, "Did I really?  Oh, sorry I just called to say good bye I guess."  She thought, "God I even did stuff while I was out.  What the heck happened?"  "Well"
