Amelia looked upon the two men. It had seemed to Delbert and Myers, that she could not stand the sight of the two being that stood before her. The looks that she'd given them were of utmost hatred. Which one of the two of them she hated more, it was hard to tell.
"After all these years you decide to seek me out, let alone on my own ship. After all, you only decide to use contact through letters, you finally use your trump card. You both must feel overwhelming accomplishment right about now, that you've finally found where I reside.
"Oh and let me guess... You are the so-called 'financier' of this mock voyage, quite unexpected on your part. – Myers!" Amelia called towards Gabrial who'd been still as a stone.
"Yes Ma'am?"
"Be a good lad and retrieve Dimitri Propst for me. I believe I'll deal with him at this time now, as well."
"Yes, Captain." Myers said as he immediately left the room and went for Propst and closed the door on his way out.
Amelia walked over to her desk and sat down once again in her chair silently. Delbert had moved off silently to the side on the desk but not too far behind from Amelia.
'Can it be?' He thought to himself, 'Is this really Amelia's Father?' But his thoughts were soon confirmed by the next words spoken.
"Well... For once you had decided to carry out threats, which you two nearfites been speaking of form what now? Twelve years?" Amelia said in an angry voice. "Any the best way you thought to accomplish this was to con me? Well, I must say that I knew of something had its' goings on when I found, or rather I should say... remembered that it was Aerondine Dimitrius Propst whom had come to me for this mock voyage. You might've known that he, of course, is a – "
"I've got him, Captain!" Myers said as he pushed Propst into the cabin and closing the door, entered himself.
"Very good. Now, as I was saying: You should have known better than to send for me someone whom I've known is a convicted felon." Amelia took a sheet of paper from one of the drawers in her desk, but never taking her eyes off of the three of them. Myers stood off to the side of the room.
"Ye can't prove anythin' against me, Smollet! I've done nothin' to be charged!"
"That's Captain to you, Propst!" She said sharply. "As is my title the same to the both of you." She said gesturing to her Father and his comrade. "But no Mr. Propst. You've not committed any high crimes but steal and gambol with pirates and ruffians, which the authorities informed me of. But here is the information I've always been assured of:
"Aerondine Dimitrius Propst: Member of the Inter-Stellar Royal Navy for five years. Served under my battalion for your first year. You were Court Marshaled when accused for the conning of twenty-three fellow active duty comrades and five commanding officers from five battalions at different parts all from this galaxy. Given dishonorable discharge from the Inter- Stellar Royal Navy... Last approval and dismissal By Captain Amelia K. Smollet.
"Well, I am not sure about you Mr. Propst, but I remember that being a happy day for the Royal Navy." She said giving out a piercing look to the three men.
"You!" Propst said getting up and holding his arm out and pointing at the Captain. "It was YOU! You gave my discharge order! Made it almost impossible for me to even get a job anywhere!"
"Well Mr. Propst, I daresay that you should have even tried to con your fellow comrades and commanding officers... Now," Amelia set the papers back in her desk and looked up at the three men. "I do not care to have conmen on my ship, so at the closest port, you'll be dropped off as goes the same for you two."
"Now wait just one blasted minute!" Amelia's Father said speaking up. "I paid for you to take us to our said destination, and that will be –"
"The Trieste System... Though astronomically unstable as it may be, there is no one there for we are taking you back to our home." Said the younger man.
"Shut your mouth boy!" Myers told him with a smirk turning to anger. His face was turned to anger on the count he was associated with the con that had stole life savings from his family to where he'd had the hardest time with his wife and son.
"Mr. Myers," Amelia said calmly. "Would you be so kind as to escort Mr. Propst down to the galley, making sure that he is to stay there. Would you as well to leaves us for a few moments after doing so?"
"Yes. Of course Ma'am." Myers said as he took hold of Propsts' Shoulder and took him from the room, closing the door on his way out.
"Now Amelia Katherine Bolick!" Amelia's Father said. "you'll listen to –"
"I've no idea whom any person by the last name of 'Bolick is, but I do Captain Smollet as my own. And as you very well may be my Father or not, you shall refer to me strictly as Captain, as will you Anover.
"I won't! You're just a useless wom –"
"Hold your tongue, Jamison!" Delbert said angrily from Amelia's side.
"Well. Well! If it isn't Doctor Delbert William Doppler." Jamison Anover said pompously. "Oh no! This is too rich! You two aren't – And here I just thought Propst meant she'd had a man servant or something, when he told me!" Anover said laughing. Doppler's face was torn past anger to fury, and Amelia's to a loathing of such intensity that just the look itself would have scared off many.
"What do think is so funny, Anover? Having trouble believing that all is true? Amelia said icily while taking Delbert's had that had rested on her shoulder.
"You can't possibly be serious!" Amelia's Father said.
"The both of us obviously have been serious for the past seven months." Amelia said glaring at them both in front of her.
"My god! Daughter, what has your mind been poisoned with? I tell you, you don't know what you're talking about. I'm having you brought back home. Like it or not, you're coming home and that's where you'll stay." Her father said, and if Amelia hadn't been so angry, she'd have burst out laughing.
"I highly doubt that – Delbert, could you tell me where the closest spaceport is as I know the power boost we used from the launch put us far from Cresentia."
"Oh... Er... It – It's the Caller – Er... Collerian Spaceport. About a four day journey from here." Delbert said as he looked out of the window behind him.
"That is not true! How could you possibly know that by just simply looking out to the skies?"
"He's been able to do that since he was sixteen."
"I'm flattered that you remembered, Jamison. Actually, yes, I have memorized astronomical knowledge of six galaxies. And as I remember correctly, you were quite jealous of that skill to remember things so easily." Delbert said smirking at him.
"Amelia simply got up, walked over to the door and opened it.
Mr. Myers." She said to Gabrial, whom was standing out not to far from the door.
"Yes, Ma'am?"
"Please Myers... Do remember that I frown upon eavesdropping, and escort Anover and Bolick down to the galley. It seems we have two new cabin boys for our cook.
Amelia was at the door when Delbert had thought he heard either Jamison or Amelia's Father say, "Don't fight them now. We'll soon have a new plan." At the time, Delbert thought nothing of it, so he disregarded it completely.
And as that went on, Myers left to escort Amelia's Father, and Jamison Anover down to the galleys.
Amelia shut the door to her stateroom behind her and turned to face Delbert.
"How do you know Jamison Anover?" she asked with a facial expression of much curiosity.
I knew him through high school and college. Such an ass that man always had been, and still is it seems like."
