Introductions
The Ceremony to welcome Sam back went well, although he was quite surprised to see her and wondered why they did not just send her back through his time portal. After a great deal of explanations, he finally understood and was glad to see her. To her dismay, he was the only one of the former B-Squad that actually seemed happy to see her again. After the celebration, she went into her new quarters and lay down. For hours, she just cried.
About 2000 hours, there was a door-ring. After straightening herself up a bit, she invited whoever it was in. It was Supreme Commander Landors. Z immediately tried to salute, but Jack held up his hand. "That's not necessary, Z." He smiled, gently, his kind eyes understanding her pain. He motioned to two chairs near the window. "Sit."
Z sat. Jack sat down in the chair next her. He pointed out the window towards the stars. "The stars…" he said quietly, "They are so… beautiful. I remember when we used to sleep beneath them each night. Somehow I felt comforted by them. Hmm," he smiled ruefully, "Now, I'm not allowed to sleep without ten bodyguards outside my door. It's ridiculous!" Z gave him a tiny smile.
"So much has changed. Guess you must have noticed that? Especially Sky and Syd? No doubt. Fifteen, even ten years ago, I would have been shocked to see Sky shave his head and even more shocked to see Syd with a Mohawk. We all would have been. To tell you the truth, I still am.
"On a more serious note, I realize that we haven't been the most welcoming. That's not right, and I am sorry. But let me ask you this; should we be happy? Yes, you are our good friend and all, but Z… you've been gone for fifteen years. Declared dead for fourteen. Given up for dead for at least five and now you stand before us, exactly as you were before. We are in shock, and a little concerned – especially with your warped cells and molecules. I am afraid that will have to give us some time.
"As for your future here; we've decided not to destroy what remains of your ruined life with endless tests to figure out whatever happened to and how to get you back. We have decided that if you wish to stay in SPD, you may. If not, we will help in whatever endeavor you choose to. Now, if you wish to stay in SPD, the Earth SPD B-Squad Yellow Position is open. It is yours if you want it."
Z looked down. "I will take it," she whispered. Jack smiled. "It is good to have you back, Z. No matter what." "Thanks Jack," she said. "No problem, Z," Jack looked at her. "Oh, yeah I almost forgot. I had these replicated for you." Z's eyes went wide as he handed her her portable CD player, headphones, and two music CD's by Kira (who once had been a Dino Ranger).
The next day Z reported promptly to the Command Room at 0755 hours, to meet her new team. Commander Carson was already there, and he nodded to her, and finished his report. Soon after, the B-Squad ambled in. Commander Carson stood, and they and Z came to attention.
"At ease," Commander Carson ordered. "As you know, Cadet Elizabeth Delgado here has joined us from the past, and will take the place of the yellow ranger on your team. Cadet Delgado, this is your new squad leader, Cadet Vor Poka." Vor seemed was a deer girl. "And this is the Blue Ranger, Pei Chan." An Asian guy. "Simon Jones, Green Ranger." An African American Guy. "And I believe you already know Leah Perk." Z nodded.
"Well then, join your team." Z stepped into her place and Commander Carson handed her, her morpher. "Dismissed."
