[i]'My name is Mina. Viran is a dear friend of mine, for quite some years now. I also met his grandfather pnes, but it was very short. My condolences.'[/i]

Rikelis smiled sadly. "It's good to know that he has friends on this world. Hisel always wondered what his life would be like after he sent away from the Home-world. He always wanted to meet Viran. All those years we traveled through space he could never talk about anything else about how he would tell Viran all about his heritage and how he is the hope of our race. It truly is sad that Hisel couldn't spend much time with him."

[i]'Indeed it is.'[/i]

Rikelis laughed as he continued to observe Viran before looking back at Mina. "So...what is your relationship with Viran? Is he your mate?" He asked curiously as a Valkorian ran up to him. "Rikelis. We've detected a ship heading for the compound. It will be here in twenty minutes. Scans are detecting Valkorian language and Valkorian engine emissions coming from the vessel. A second vessel is approaching the Titan's mansion."

"Are their weapons armed?" Rikelis asked

"No. No signs of any weapons. They could be more refugees."

"Have you identified the vessels?"

"The Hope and New Beginnings. Our records indicate they escaped the home-world shortly before the final attack. Didn't Hisel talk about the Hope a few times aboard during our travels?"

Rikelis nodded slowly. "Yes...He did. But for the life of me I can't remember exactly what he said about them. It could be they were separated from us during the final attack. I doubt they wish to cause problems. When they arrive, show them the same hospitality that we we're shown. Welcome them with open arms." He said.as he turned back to look at Mina.

"Please enjoy yourself. I will return shortly."
