"Oh ah Commander you're' scheduled to have a inner ear transplant in you're left side."
"So how long will it take me to recover from that 2 weeks?"
"Three days." Said Kaidan, "You'll be staying overnight in the hospital, then for the next 2 days you'll need to take it easy."
"Hey," Said Liara, "Perhaps she could stay in Shepard's Citadel Apartment?"
"Well I am related to Shepard so I'd suppose I'm next of kin." I spoke, "When's the operation?"
"I guess we'll have to find out." Said Ashley.
"Ash can I ask another favor?"
"Sure."
"Can you contact my family? Just let them know my memories are a bit messed up so I might not respond at first."
"Sure thing Commander."
"Alright Kaidan make sure I don't pass out along the way to the Captain's cabin, please." I asked.
"Sure."
I was feeling weird once we entered Shepard's cabin. One I felt awkward being in here, and two well I was too tired to care.
"You okay Commander?"
"I'll be fine Kaidan, wake me up when you find out about the operation or whatnot." I said as I sat on the bed untie-ing my boots then laid on the bed to take a nap.
Kaidan returned to the CIC as he saw Ashley in the Vid Com room.
"She's taking a nap?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah, did you contact the Bonaventure?"
"Not yet." She replied, "I'd figured we'd do that together, but I found Hansen's last report before her alt went M.I.A. She was talking with your mother, Kaidan she's on the Bonaventure."
Kaidan felt like he was going to cry, "Commander Hansen did that?"
"Both she and her sister recruited her onto the ship."
"I guess I owe them both a thank you."
"I'd figured you'd like to know some good news before we contact re-unite Commander Hansen with her family. Returning the favour so to speak."
"Good thinking Ash, thanks."
"No problem Skuttlebutt."
Kaidan sighed sarcastically, "... Let's just contact her sister and tell the good news okay?"
"Kaidan you're no fun sometimes. So what happened did you Canadian lose your sense of humour or something in the Second American Civil War?"
"I don't think the Atlantic side lost theirs," Kaidan admitted with a chuckle.
"Kaidan be careful you're getting pretty close to her."
"Are you suggesting I'm falling for her?"
"Are you?"
Kaidan paused, "We're on good terms, she and I both discussed things between us."
"And?"
"We're keeping it friendly for now."
"So in other words you're keeping your pants on eh?"
He scoffed, "Yes Ash."
"Jeez don't get all defensive now." She teased, "Edi can you connect us with the Bonaventure."
"Done."
"This is Captain Melissa Hansen of the Bonaventure SR-2, how can I help you Specters?" said Melissa as she had her blonde hair up in a bun as she wore her Alliance uniform proudly before them.
"The Bonaventure is a SR-2?" Asked Ash.
"Yeah, long story but to shorten it up we were attacked by pirates and they stole this ship from Cerberus and we took it from them after they brought our ship next to nothing, it was Melly's idea to take advantage of it." Melissa explained, "And even Anderson and Hackett was impressed that we pulled off."
"Look Captain Hansen the reason why we're contacting you is because our work is related to what you're sister was working on before she disappeared." Said Ash.
"Oh..." Melissa said sadly, "I can't tell you much I mean she practically said everything in her reports until the last mission... I'm sorry I-."
"We found her," Kaidan said, "She's alive, but her memories are a little messed up right now."
Melissa looked at them in shock as then happy tears ran down her face, "She's alive! The crew and I were convinced she was gone."
"She's sleeping right now in the Captain's cabin." said Kaidan, as he chuckled to himself thinking of how Commander Hansen would react... Being a little slap at the back of her twin's hair bun.
"Where are you right now?"
"The Relays have somehow reappeared and the Citadel seems to be back where it was originally. We're heading there because it says in her health records she's due for a inner ear transplant."
"Oh right of course, she kept putting it off because of the war." Melissa spoke, "Um I'll get there but my ship is almost repaired."
"Let the crew know about her, the moral boost might motivate them enough knowing she's alive." said Kaidan, "Um any chance could Mrs. Alenko, my mother be on board?"
"Eddie get Mrs. Alenko tell her to meet me at the Vid-Com room." Commanded Melissa.
"Contacting, she's asking why." said a Teen aged Boy's voice on the system.
"Tell her I'm talking to her son."
"She's on her way." Replied Eddie.
"I'll leave you and your mom alone," said Ash.
"Thanks Ash."
"You're welcome Kaidan."
It wasn't long before kaidan saw his mother's face appear on the vid-com.
"Kaidan, sweetie!" She cried as she looked relieved to see him alive and well.
"Mom, I'm so glad you're alright, what happened?"
"Commander Hansen was so sweet to me as she asked me what the Soldiers went through in her home region. She had a bad feeling as she wanted to have the bases covered so to speak. So she talked to her sister into having me on the crew to help their Doctor with incoming wounded. Captain Hansen seems to be very happy."
"Ash and I found her, she's alive." Kaidan replied, "Well she's not bad right now, she's going to take a few days to recover. And sort some things out... Mom things went weird when we returned to Earth.
"How so?"
"Long story Mom kinda complicated but we found her."
"Oh well since you two have already met I was going to introduce you to her if you hadn't." She teased.
"Mom that doesn't surprise me, knowing you."
"I know son, we'll meet up soon as we get the ship fixed up."
"I'm looking forward to it mom."
"Same here son, I love you Kaidan."
"I love you too mom." He said as turned off the transmission.
