Previously...

It didn't talk as long as their walk did for someone to open the door. They didn't wait for the person to say anything, they just could right to the chase.

"I'm here for the mother of the Beebos." They said, "I'm here for Mayanah Schneider."

"I'm here for the mother of the Beebos." They said, "I'm here for Mayanah Schneider."

"I'm sorry. What? Who are you?" Lorraine Sylvia asked

They laughed, "Oh...right. Silly me. I'm..."

Mayanah came strolling past the foyer on her way to the kitchen. She turned her head and saw who Lorraine was talking to.

"I know who you are." She said, walking over to Lorraine and the person standing in the doorframe. "You're Cassie. Cassandra Fraiser."

The woman's eyes widened, "What? How do you know that?"

"Because I'm the one you seek. I'm Mayanah Schneider, creator of the Beebos."

Cassie hummed, "Okay. But still, how do you know who I am?"

"You met with the Beebos. I'm connected to them. I know what they know, and they're learning what I know." Mayanah explained

"So you know why I'm here then?"

Mayanah gave a solemn nod, "Yeah. You didn't need to come all this way. I'm working on it."

Lorraine turns her head to give Mayanah a stern look, "Please don't tell me you are using Brigid's diary again?"

"I am, but I promise I'm being careful. I'm not going to do anything drastic like I did when I first used it. There will be no more life sized living stuffed animals."

"Hmm...Okay."

Cassie cleared her throat, "Will all due respect, Mayanah, I don't think you understand how serious the situation has become. It now requires a course of action that is swift and quick."

"Okay. What is going on?" Lorraine questioned, "What is this situation?"

Cassie took a deep breath, letting it out in a drawn out manner, "Mhm...Well, you see, the thing is...I think you can infer that the Beebos are in grave and impending danger."

"And you know this, how?"

"Makes sense that you'd be skeptical." Cassie added, "You know my aunt though. Samantha Carter. She's not really my aunt, but she and my mom were best friends. Anyways, I work in Stargate Command. I'm part of SG one."

Lorraine nodded, "Okay. So were on a mission then?"

"Yes. My team and I were on a mission. They were captured, because you see, the thing is that the Beebos are at war with creatures who live beneath surface of their planet. Not Beebo Nation. Athos."

"Wraith?" Lorraine wondered, having heard all about the wraith from Torren.

Mayanah shook her head, "No. These creatures are called Vinkrak. They've been around since the dinosaurs. A cousin to the Ankylosaurus."

"Oh...okay." Lorraine uttered

Meanwhile upstairs, Sara Diggle and Joseph were both packing their bags. Joseph was getting ready to go back on the road and Sara had to head back to college. Joseph was having a much easier time packing than Sara because he didn't have someone bothering him and invading his space. 8 year old Batya Sylvia wouldn't leave Sara alone. Batya was sad to see that Sara was leaving.

"I know you're sad, B, but I'll come back. This isn't goodbye, okay?"

The eight year old nodded, "Okay. I'm gonna miss you."

Sara smiled as she hugged the little girl, "I'll miss you too, but your mom has my number. You can have her call me, okay?"

Rachel Sylvia knew Sara's school schedule, and when the acceptable times to call were.

"Okay." Batya agreed

An hour later, Joseph and Sara were heading out the front door. Everyone was waving goodbye to them.

As hard as it was for the people of Mount Carmel to say goodbye to their family - because everyone is family through Christ - the Beebos had it even harder on Athos. Things weren't improving. They were only getting worse. The Beebos were losing the war and it seemed that the Vinkrak weren't interested in killing. No. What they were doing was much worse. They were imprisoning the Beebos and enslaving the Beebo children.

Mayanah knew that she had to come up with a solution soon, but she didn't know what to do. Well, actually, she knew what she wanted to do, but she couldn't figure out a good way to execute it. And with the speed at which things were worsening, she knew that it was time to seek advice.

Mayanah walked down the hall to Charlie's room, knocking lightly on the door before hearing a 'come in', and then stepping inside the room.

Charlie was in her room sitting on the bed talking with Rachel Koresh while braiding 8 year old Glory Martinez' long dark brown-black hair.

"Oh..." Mayanah uttered, "Hi moms. Hi Glory."

"Is everything alright, Mayanah?" Rachel asked

The fifteen year old bit her lip nervously, "Well, I was hoping to talk with Mama Charlie about something."

"It's alright." Charlie assured, "What's on your mind, kid?"

Mayanah hummed, "Okay...Um...it's about the Beebos. On Athos."

She let out a breath before explaining the situation about the war on Athos with the Beebos and the Vinkraks.

"And well, I was looking for advice. I want to get rid of the Vinkrak, but I can't do that without getting the Beebos free and off of Athos. I just can't figure out how, and because you used to be a Fate, I figured you might have some knowledge of something like this happening before."

Charlie kissed the top of Glory's head, dismissing the child before giving Mayanah a nod, "Um..sort of. My Fate sisters were kind of like the Vinkraks. Tyrannts. It's why I left them. You have to out smart the Vinkraks. Or rather, the Beebos do. Don't think about getting the Beebos off the planet. Think about how to get the Vinkraks to leave."

Mayanah donned a contemplative glare for a few moments, thinking deeply, before having a moment of clarity.

"Ah...yeah. That helps. Thanks."

Charlie smiled, "Of course. Glad I could help."

After Mayanah left the room, Charlie turned back to Rachel so they could continue the conversation they were having before the interruption.

Rachel had an amused smile on her face as she was shaking her head, "It's always something. There's never a dull moment, huh?"

"Where's the fun in that?" Charlie countered, "I wouldn't trade this life for anything in the world." She gave a puzzled smile, "Not even for my daughter because I know that'll see her again. I know she's not gone. She's alive. Just not on the earthly plane, but in the eternal, heavenly one."

Hope you enjoy. Comments are greatly appreciated. In fact, they keep me going.
