Hello! This is very short, but I think I messed up the whole chapter updating system because I deleted an A/N chapter so... I figured I needed to add to compensate..yeah, something like that. Here you go!

"We need to go back." Kaylee said, spinning slightly in a chair in the debriefing room after their mission.

"Thank you for your opinion, Lieutenant. We already knew about the issue with slavery on P93-532." the General said. "The question is whether it will be worth our time and resources to help them because right now we can't just go get involved in a civil war."

"General, sir... I agree with her. All of the history we were told of their slavery makes it seem that they want to get the issue sorted. Sure, there will be some issues if we try and help, but wouldn't it be worth it? Even if all we did was relocate the people forced into slavery, perhaps that would help." Carrie suggested.

"Have we finished with the peace treaty?" The General questioned.

"Almost, Sir." Captain Leydon spoke up. "We have to return one more time, it's because of the way their planet forms their 'Peace Arrangements'- over an extended period of time."

"I see. When do they want you to return?"

"Next week, Sir." Sam answered.

The General sighed, "Alright, next week you will all be assigned to return. At that time, talk to some of these people who are enslaved. Find out, from their perspective, what happened. Dismissed." The General stood up and left.

Kaylee turned to Sam as they began to walk out, "Do you think we'll really be able to help?"

He glanced at her, "I don't know, Jackson. But it's worth a shot. I've been on this team for two years and we've never attempted anything close to this before."

"But you think that we'll be able to help at least a little, right? Make living conditions better, maybe?" Kaylee persisted.

"First we have to find out what happened from the slaves perspective." Carrie said from behind them.

"Personally, I think this is a pretty great first mission if you ask me. After all the training we had to go through, I thought we would be running away from an ambush or something." Kaylee concluded.

"Just wait, that day will come." Sam said.

"Right, well, I'm off. It's been a long day. Captain." She saluted and headed to the womens locker room. As she sat down to pull off her boots, she thought over the events of the day and she remembered the oddly familiar man she had seen. The more she thought about him, she couldn't shake the feeling that she knew him, but she wasn't sure why.

I would like at least one review from this chapter. If you do, I will bake you a virtual cake. Your favorite kind, too. =)
