Fernanda dreamed about living in a community like Moira's. She looked out toward the stars, and wondered just what was out there. How many planets were colonized out there? How many millions of people? And how many communities like Moira's?
Moira received the message from Vero.
"Unlce Jody! David!"she said. "Vero wants to know if there are any living descendants of the Keeper."
They just looked a bit confused.
"If she had any family. You know, married, had kids?'
"You mean the Lady Olwen?"asked Unlce Jody.
"Yeah, I think Guardian said that was her name. Olwen Pendennis, in Bamboo Valley."
"I don't think the Lady Olwen had children."said Uncle Jody.
"Hmm. Veronica probably won't be happy to hear that. She wanted to meet her. Oh, look, she's on right now!"
"On where?"
"Online."said Moira. "Just watch."
Moira:Olwen didn't have any descendants from the looks of it.
Veronica sighed.
Veronica:Do you know anyone who knew her?
"Did anyone here know the Keeper?"asked Moira.
"I did."said Uncle Jody.
Moira:Uncle Jody did
Veronica:Can you put him on?
Moira:He can't type. He can't read, either. You know,
Veronica:Oh, right.
"Just look D! Someone actually knew the Keeper!"
Veronica:Another reason to go to Isis!
Moira:Isis is a quarantined planet.
Vero:Oh
"It's quarantined, D. You don't suppose…?"
Moira:But Uncle Jody is the president, maybe you could still come.
Vero:Great!
"Uncle Jody, do you suppose she could come? See, she'd like to meet you, and she could help us find a way to fix the Shelter Cave. She's really smart, and she won't say anything to anyone, I'm sure."
Uncle Jody didn't seem to excited about it, but David convinced him.
"All right."
Moira:He says it's all right.
Vero:That's great!
"D! We'd better hurry! We have to visit Isis!"
Vero:About how long is a year on Isis? When do these storms occur?
Moira:It's longer than an Earth year, and they're in the spring, we're in summer right now.
Vero:Okay. I have to get finished with these planets here, register them, explore them, etc. And I'll be on my way.
"We'd better hurry, D!"she said.
"Right, Veronica."said DaCoP 1228.
