<USS Avalon> The Watchers

The Watchers
by Lieutenants David, Phillip and Katerina  Waterson
 
David, Phillip and Katerina Waterson all sit in David's  darkened quarters on 
the Banshee and stare out the window at the  Avalon.

"I don't remember that  ship."

"We were young, way too  young."

"You were young, I was the  oldest."

"Only by two  minutes."

"So... that still makes me the oldest"

"Do you think  that Dad is on that ship right  now?"

"I don't know.  All the information from Mom was that he  was."

"I still don't remember that  ship."

"You'd forget where you put your phaser if it weren't attached to your  hip."

"I can't help it, I'm a little  forgetful."

"I would really like to see  Mom."

"Me too, after the virus she contracted ten years ago, she's never been the  
same."

"I agree, the blank stares she gives, they  are really eerie.  Sometimes I 
wonder if they will ever find a  cure."

"I wonder if we'll ever get back to our own time. I heard things in the  
Jefferies tubes that how we got here, is now closed off."

"I'm sure the Captain will find a way."

All three of them sigh at  the same time.

"Well, I think we all better get back  to  work."

"But I don't want  to."

"I'm sure your chief will have something to say about  that."

"I guess so.  Alright, let's go."

The three of them stand up at  the same time and walk out into the corridor 
and return to their separate  duties.
