Really? So is a curse day certainly, then?

voice;

[phasedcat]

Sort of. The people here aren't just made up by the City, it's real people from our home worlds and other people not from our home worlds.

[looking4wessles]

But...zey are only here for ze day?

voice;

[phasedcat]

Yes...they'll leave at midnight...

voice;

[looking4wessles]

Oh. [sounds disappointed :(]

[phasedcat]

Mister Sulu is here! He's ze helmsman--he sits next to me on ze Enterprise. And Engineer Olsen, also!

...zough...zey are better off at home, I know.

It's okay to be happy to see them and want them to stay with you, being selfish is okay sometimes. I'd...like for everyone of the people I've talked to today to be able to stay here with me.

[looking4wessles]

Did some of your friends visit also?

voice;

[phasedcat]

They are. Lockheed's here! More then anything I wish he could stay. I wish they all could because...here's not so bad compared to home...and here I could still protect them. But what are you going to do? I'm just going to be happy to talk to them today. And learn some more about home.

voice;

[looking4wessles]

Zat is true...even if zey are not staying, it is good to see them. Especially if zey have news about home!

voice;

[phasedcat]

Especially Lockheed! I just wish the news was good, or I'd settle for okay even. Have you gotten to speak with the people here from your world a lot today?

voice;

[looking4wessles]

Are zey a good friend of yours?

Eh, not a lot yet, no. I hoping I will more, zough, before zey go home!

voice;

[phasedcat]

Lockheed's a sentient alien dragon and a very very good friend.

I hope so for you too!

[looking4wessles]
