[QUOTE="Tun Kai Poh, post: 8500379, member: 6761960"] [B][SIZE=5]Timelines[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4] Catrina Bannon relaxes her pose just slightly once she's out of sight of the others. Her voice doesn't turn warmer, but she seems perhaps slower and more pensive. "I'm not your friend, Tabitha Saint-Germaine, but...we are kin, of sort. Cosmopolitan kin, almost by blood." She looks into Tabitha's eyes. "Did your mother ever mention a man by the name of Riley Leylance? My great-grandfather, a naval officer. He served with her on a fast frigate, during those many troubled years, after ThirdComm rose to power. The story is that he greatly admired his bold, beautiful comrade, wanted to marry her - but his family had other plans. They recalled him from the Navy and all migrated to Ras Shamra, to follow that nascent dream of John Creighton Harrison, to build something stronger and better from the ruins of SecComm. And my great-grandfather served that dream, until he finally settled down and retired planetside on Rittermeer, two hundred years ago." Bannon gazes off into the undefined distance, her voice growing soft. "If the Fates had changed one thread of our history, we would be blood." She turns to Tabitha again. "You might have been my Cosmopolitan grand-aunt. But it turned out differently, and here we are, awash in the blood of our dead crews. The irony hurts.
