What's next?

A dilemma and a late night in

"Where did you find her?" Leo stared at the covered woman as Allen and Veronica had her laid out on a stretcher.

"Is she gonna be alright?" Dot stood some distance away, watching as her parents lifted the woman up.

"That's what we're going to find out sweetie."

"Leo," Allen turned to his son."Help clear the stuff around the airlock so we can get through."


"What should we call her?" Dot asked some time later as they watched her from behind the glass of the Gringot's examination room asleep in the nearby bed; Her body lay covered head to toe in electrodes as life support machines beeped around her.

"Dot, she already has a name, Veronica looked over at her daughter. "When she wakes up i'm sure she'll tell you."

"You kids go run along now, me and your mum need to talk some things over."

Both Leo and dot left without protest as their veronica stepped away from the glass.

"We'll, this is a mess."

"Maybe not, I was digging through some old star plotting records and I think I found something useful."

Allen handed his wife over a data pad.

"Three percent value of the ship for recovery of any personnel of a lost Earth command government vessel?"

"That's right." he quirked his lip. "Enough for us to get a new contract with another company, and a big down payment to boot. Thing is there's a catch, the person found has to be an official employee of the government and a member of the crew."

"Are you saying she might be a stowaway."

"Probably not," he reached up and brushed his chin. "Maybe a civilian though, and if that's true then that means we get nothing."

"So what's the plan, we wait for her to wake up and tell us who she is?"

"Guess we have no other choice, he shrugged. Unless you have any other ideas."

"Allen, you'd better not be thinking what I think you are," his wife shot a fierce look.

"Veronica come on. you know I couldn't."

"Good, that's what I thought." She breathed a sigh of relief. "Any way I think when she wakes up she'll be happy knowing shes not dead, there might be more rewards for us that we haven't even thought of."

"Maybe, guess we'll have to wait and see."

Who checks in on the patient?
