Tessandra Cortez was walking through the Mothership towards the bridge, Zo'or had called her, again, for the second time today. Still trying to figure out what Zo'or could want, she reached the bridge, just in time to get a glimpse of a very mad Zo'or who was actually yelling , as far as Taelons could do that, at Agent Sandoval. As she walked up to Sandoval, all she hoped was that Zo'or didn't find out about her, about the truth. As she looked up at Zo'or, he started talking to her.

„Miss Cortez, how nice that you could make it just in time before the Synod meeting." he spoke in his normal voice.

„ Well, you called, so what's up?"

„I just wanted to know how you were able to fly a shuttle without any flying lessons?!" Zo'or said mater of faculty.

Tessandras brain was working on every level. *Damm it, what the hell am I going to tell him, I can't tell the truth, come on Tess, think,… DA'AN!!*

Zo'or was running his eyes over her, wondering with what lie she was going to come up.

„Da'an, he gave me some tips, and anyway , its not like I've been the first time in a Shuttle." *and if he believes that, than I'm going to ,..*

„Da'an, oh, in that case you should be able to fly around Agent Sandoval, at least for the rest of the day. Or is there a problem with that?"



Tessandra, who was looking from Zo'or to Sandoval and than back to Zo'or suddenly had a very evil look on her face, at least from Sandoval´s POV it looked so.

* What the hell??, Fly around Sandoval??, Why that?? Well, ok , can´t be that hard, or?*

Tess definitely was confused for a few second.

„ Sure Zo'or!" nothing easier than that! She finished the sentence in her mind. And walked off, towards the Shuttledeck.

„But Zo'or, you can't let her fly !! You said yourself that she didn't even have lessons!" Sandoval said, he really didn't like the Idea.

„ Yes, but I do believe the she is able to fly a Shuttle. Now shut up and follow her!" Zo'or said with a flicker of annoyance in his voice.

Sandoval walked off as he realized that he didn't have a chance against Zo'or. * I wonder if she knows what she's doing, I just hope she isn't trying anything tricky, for her sake. She did have a quite evil look on her face!*

As he walked towards the Shuttledeck, he remembered the first time he had seen her:

~ He was standing on the bridge of the Mothership, chasing around a few volunteer's, as suddenly a woman was standing in front of him. She had black hair, bright green eyes with a touch of orange, and was a bit taller than he was. She also had a sun tanned skin and was quite thin. He guessed her age at the early 20´s.

„You must be Agent Sandoval !?"she asked.

Her voice was friendly, something Sandoval wasn't used to at all. And her eyes, they were shining with a friendliness and kindness that he hadn't seen in ages.

„Yes, and who are you?" her replied.

„I'm Tessandra Cortez, Da'an´s new Protector. He told me that I should report to you as soon as possible."~

He was ripped out of his memory's as he reached the Shuttle. Cortez was already sitting in the pilot chair, and waiting for him. He sat down behind her.

„ So Sandoval, where do ya wanna fly?"

He suddenly had the desperate wish to visit somebody special.

„ To Galway, Ireland" He told her.



She landed the Shuttle right outside the small town. Sandoval stepped out.

„I´ll be back later, lets say in two or three hours." He told her as he walked away.

Tessandra didn't need to follow Sandoval, she knew exactly where he was going. But she also wanted to visit somebody so she walked off in a different direction.
