Captains Log: Stardate 50022.5
After our incursion into the alternate Universe, we suffered heavy damage. Right now we are in dry dock undergoing repairs. The new Warp Core is going to be fitted later this week, and the designers feel that the Toronto should be able to return to active duty with in a few weeks. On a sad note, today we had to funeral of Major Rapoport, and Lt. David Lynch. Both men gave their lives in an honorable way, saving the ship. All crewmembers that were killed in our cross over have and or will receive starfleets highest commendation.
The Crew as well as I are on extended shore leave. None of the senior staff will be onboard for the next few weeks. I am beaming down to Toronto to see my Family; Dr. England will be going to London for a week and then will come to Toronto to see my family and myself. I am looking forward to seeing Michael and his wife Sue. Michael is a senior writer in the News Service and Sue is heading up the design team on the new Hornet class Gunboat. This should be an interesting visit since, Michael have not spoken for 5 years, since our father was killed. Harkness hit the button on the desk, ending the log.
He thought to him self about the recent battle that the Toronto had been in. He was quite proud.
Harkness swung out from behind his desk and headed for the replecator.
"Computer. Labatt Blue." He ordered.
The replecator hummed as the yellow beverage appeared.
He picked it up and headed for his desk again. He put the Drink down beside the picture of his Brother and sister-in-law. He picked up the picture and looked at, and almost dropped it when the Door Chimes went off.
"Yea." He said to that air, regaining his composure. And he took his seat.
The Doors parted to reveal Cmdr. Larson.
"Ah Captain I hope I did not interrupt you." She said in her usual commanding voice.
"No problem Commander, I was just thinking about the recent battle." He said trying to hide his grief over the lost of life.
"Well sir, I was just going to hand in the repair schedule for your approval, and then head down to the transporter room." She said in a relieved voice.
She handed over the PADD.
"Thank you Commander. What are you going to do with your time off?" He asked in a warm welcoming voice.
"I was going to go home and visit my family in Buffalo." She said with a smile.
"Ah sounds like fun." Harkness said with a smile.
"May I ask what you are doing sir." Larson asked. All she wanted to do was get out of here. She really did not want to talk to Harkness, and she did her best to cover it.
"Well I am going to Toronto and see my Brother, and his family. It should be interesting." He said with a smile. He wanted to delay his arrival home for as long as possible.
"Well sir. I must be going. My parents get annoyed if I am late, even though I carry a phaser." She said joking but also trying to drop a hint with Harkness that she had to leave.
"Very well then. Dismissed." Harkness said in his Captains tone.
Larson turned her back and headed for the door. She stopped just before it.
"Oh yeah captain. Our new chief Engineer will be arriving on Thursday of next week. Lt. Cmdr. Robin Lefler, have you herd of her?" She asked, hoping that he didn't and she could leave.
"I have herd the name, she was on the Enterprise right?" He asked his usual tone.
She nodded her answer, and left.
Harkness took a final drink from his mug and got up.
"Well it's now or never." He said to himself.
He left his Ready Room. As Harkness entered the Transporter room, the Petty officer behind the console went to attention.
"At ease." Harkness looking at the man.
He was carrying a luggage container. He was still in his uniform.
Harkness stepped up to the pad, and took one final look around.
With a sigh he ordered "Energize".
Harkness materialized outside his Brothers home in Scarborough.
It was a modest home, two stories, big front yard and a massive back yard with a pool and a hot tub-if Harkness remembered correctly-it was the same house that his family had owned for 450 years. As Harkness walked up the path he looked around and saw the tree where he had his first kiss with Rebecca. The path was about 50 meters long.
As he reached the door, he paused and thought Just do it. He finally pressed the doorbell.
As it opened a tall woman answered. She was wearing a tee shirt and jeans.
"Charles is that you?" She asked in a very excited voice.
"Hello Sue, yes it is me." Harkness was not as thrilled, but happy he was going to see his family again.
"Mike get here quick, some here to see you." Sue yelled back into the house.
"Charles please come in," she said motioning him to follow.
"What is it babe." Mike said walking down the stairs. He was about 6 foot one; he had black hair, which was turning Grey. He was wearing a green tee shirt and a black vest. He was also in black jeans.
"Charles. Long time no see." He said, he was not as excited Charles as Sue was.
Charles extended his hand to shake his brothers.
"So I see they made you a Captain." Sue said, she was still very excited.
"Well yes they did, a few years. I am now in Command of the USS Toronto. Have you herd of her?" Charles asked.
"Yes I have, I did the report on when you caught the Bismarc, that was some good work." Mike said in a deep cold voice.
"Well, would you like to take a seat?"
Sue led them in to the Living room. It was very spacious, a glass coffee table, white furniture. There was a holographic viewer on the wall in the center. Right now it was static, the picture of the United Federation of Planets, Charles assumed that Mike used it to get information for his news stories.
"So how long are you in Town?" Mike asked. In a cold tone he was not happy that his brother was home.
"I'll should be in for about 2 weeks, unless Starfleet calls me away." He said with a small smile, trying his best to lighten the room.
Harkness looked at his family. Sue still had the big smile on her aging face. Mike, he was not showing any emotions-he never had. Even when they were young, Charles could not remember any emotion- he was looking around the room, trying not to look at Charles.
Sue got up. "Would you like anything to drink Charles? I got a pot of fresh coffee ready. The Real stuff not that replicated crap they give you." She asked looking at him.
Harkness looked up at her "yes that would be nice. Double, double remember" End Teaser.
