Mission: The Evils Within
Location: Smith's Quarters
Timeline: 0730 hrs

Krysia awoke from a a more or less descent night's sleep, for once she'd managed to get a good sleep without the twins keeping her awake. She did her best to cuddle up with James but lying facing him was tricky as her bump tended to get in the way so instead she cuddled up with her back against his chest letting his arm drape over her stomach, which gave the twins great fun kicking their father's arm and hand.

James smiled as he felt the twins kick him, he laid their smiling thinking about becoming a father again. Looking over at Krysia he smiled, “Good Morning”

"Good Morning" She smiled as she turned her head as far as she was able to kiss him. "It's nice to have some time to relax isn't it? I'm looking forward to getting some shoreleave after recent events...." She was cut off as moments later Nyx's voice came over the comms.

=/\= "This is Captain Temple speaking. I know we've all been looking forward to returning to Federation space, but we've just received orders to answer an urgent distress call in the Hesiod system." He paused, then a look of commitment passed over his face, "Starfleet Command won't tell us what we're going to find, or who we're even looking for. It's a top secret mission and we will be going deeper into the Expanse than ever before. We will need to avoid Alrakis Pact detection to get there. I know this is a crew of deeply dedicated and capable officers, and we are up to the challenge. I know we will perform our duties with integrity and haste, which is why I have no doubt Starfleet has entrusted us to this task. Remember that. Temple out."

"They're having a joke right!?" She sighed her smile fading somewhat. "We were supposed to be getting some rest not going back out and facing who knows what!!"

James nodded, “I was hoping for some down time as well, what could be so important that it’s classified as top secret, I haven’t received anything from StarFleet Intelligence and going in without any knowledge of what we are up against is troubling.”

"Exactly, I'd say from the rise in the emotions of the crew that just occurred there's a lot of people feeling the same way we are!" She sighed. "I'm glad I had chance to catch up with my dad before this though, I guess that means Owen won't be catching up anytime soon. It's going to be strange not having him onboard, but at least I have you." She smiled as she rested her hand on top of his on her stomach.

"I know I always say this but just promise me, if you have to leave the ship on away party duty that you'll be careful." She gave him a concerned glance. "You're a professional and you know your job but I still worry about you!"

James smiled as he nodded his head, “I promise to be careful, knowing the Captain I’ll probably be on any away mission, but I’ll watch my back and come back to you.”

"I have no doubt I'll be lassoed to the ship between now and when I give birth in three to four months time!" Krys grinned. "Unless it's guaranteed that there's no risks involved in which case I might get lucky! I'm not holding my breath though!" She grinned. "I wonder how Emilie is getting on? Nyx did say she was overdue when I asked him how she was doing."

Frowning a bit James replied, “We’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t had much time to check in with the Captain, however, I’ll check and see how Emilie's doing. This mission has me curious I think that I should see what he may know about this mission.”
