14 Settling In

Kearney

Tabor and Timric somehow found Kara and our cousin Laura among the thousands of humans in the bio dome, and made it home with them in about five hours. We loaded all our possessions into the shuttle that returned after being repaired.

Tabor actually came back with a boatload of merchandise. The man shops like it’s his job or something. He bought specially designed metal boxes and had them welded to the bottom of our shuttle. I can only assume it is so that when it comes time to fit my family and their belongings into the shuttles, there will be room for everything. He’s real considerate about most things.

I have to admit that I’m kind of curious about what’s in those boxes. I expect that I’ll see him wearing new clothing or something in the near future. One can only imagine why one single man would need so much stuff. On the bright side, I guess that means he loves human stuff.

All right, I’m obsessing about the hot commander, and for all I know he’s just being nice to me because I’m a woman. When he ushers us into the shuttles, we all grab seats. He had benches welded to the floor with a dozen safety harnesses while he was in the bio dome. I guess Earth has started some kind of boutique business in catering to aliens. They’re broke and aliens have credits so it’s a win-win, I guess.

We’re ready for liftoff just after the sun sets. Watching Tabor check everyone’s safety harness is kind of cute. He’s so careful, especially with the younger kids. I heard he promised the boys flight suits and the girls princess gowns. We’ll have to see how that shakes out, cause I don’t remember there being a tailor on board our ship.

Finally he comes to stand near my seat. Thrilled, I tilt my head up to look at him and he seems happy as a clam. The handsome commander’s pretty easy going most of the time so that doesn’t really surprise me. The only thing that really pisses him off is women being in danger, so I’m betting he’s going to be pretty thrilled to have us all on the ship under his watchful eye.

Crew members near the door activate the closing mechanism and the door slowly closes off the view of my childhood campground. I get the very strong feeling this is the last time any of us will see what was once our property. Come to find out, my family didn’t have much in the way of possessions, so we were able to fit the warriors and all my family into the two shuttles.

Tabor squats down to speak to me. “I had our crew on the ship prepare quarters for your family. Kara put together a list of which of your kin would be compatible for sharing space and which required private space. It appears most of them don’t wish separate quarters, as it would make them sad and lonely.
