[the duo made their way to the mother ship]
Peepers: (gets in his seat)
Sylvia: Computer, chk the logs on any events tht has to do with this date n plc [scans the piece of paper onto the system]
Computer: Calculating... Analyzing... [does the analysis]
Peepers: (crosses his fingers)
Computer: There r 5 significant cases pertaining to this date n plc. Would u like to see all cases or would u like a filter?
Sylvia: Filter anything to do with Watchdogs
Peepers: (fidgets a bit)
Computer: Filtering... [a few seconds later] 1 case matches the filter
Sylvia: Open the file, Computer
Peepers: (leans to see for himself)
[the file revealed to be the case of Vision's arrest after murdering his wife n the attempted murder of his son]
Sylvia: Woah, I guess he still remembers that fateful day. Didn't he say something abt remembering his past crimes as part of his rehab?
Peepers: (signs) I believe he did.
Sylvia: [reads the article again] Says here it took plc on the planet we found u, ard the slum areas. U think we should go chk it out?
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: Maybe we should hv his body released to us after all. We do have a cold freeze room on this ship to store cold-based weapons. It'll be too much of a hassle to hv to go bk n forth btwn planets just to bring him to tht place, in case we got it right
Peepers: (like)
Sylvia: I'll make the call [dialed the number of the morgue in the police station to request for release of Vision's body]
Computer: Would u like me to contact Master Wander to tell them ur going off on a trip?
Peepers: (signs) Yes, we do. (nod)
Computer: [dialed Wander's comm to engage video call]
Hater: [was the one who answered it] Hello?
Peepers: (signs) Hey, Hater. How you feeling?
Hater: (yawn) Just a little tired. This belly is reli killing my bk. U OK, Peepers? Wander went to chk on u guys, bt ur not in ur room. Wat r u doing in the mother ship?
Peepers: (signs) Well... (explains what had happened)
Hater: :O [covered his mouth in shock] Oh my gob, I'm so sorry... ;( [started crying for him as hormones kicked in]
Peepers: (signs) It's okay... we both went through a lot... and we now plan to bury him next to where my mother was buried herself.
Hater: So u think she might be buried at the plc where ur dad kept the date n address?
Peepers: (nod) (signs) It's worth taking a look to make sure.
Hater: Alright. Wander's in the bathroom right now. I'll let him knw later wen he's out
Sylvia: [had finished calling] Hey, Pipsqueak, they said they'll be here in... [sees Hater on the video call] Oh, hey, Bonehead.
Hater: Hey, Sylvia. I heard abt Peepers' dad... I'm so sorry for ur loss, Peepers ;( [cried again]
Peepers: :( (signs) Don't worry about me, Hater. Really, I'll be fine.
Hater: I knw, I can't help it, my hormones n all... ;(
Sylvia: Trust me, I knw the feels. U just rest, OK? We'll keep u guys updated
Peepers: (nod) (Signs) What she says.
Hater: OK, u guys stay safe, OK? Take ur time
Peepers: (signs) Will do. ^^
Hater: (wave) [waved goodbye before ending the call]
Sylvia: Well, tht was unexpected, him crying for u
Peepers: (signs) He is still feeling moody it seems.
Sylvia: Evn moodier than he was wen he was pregnant with the first litter. I'm starting to suspect his current pregnancy is not nomad-style aftr all
Peepers: (signs) Think so?
Sylvia: [shrugged] Call it a hunch
Peepers: (shrugs also)
Sylvia: Oh, I was saying tht the station will release the body n send it ovr here in abt 15 mins, then we can go on our way
Peepers: (nod)
[15 mins later, the men frm the station had brought in the body, in which Sylvia guided them to the cold storage room]
Peepers: (stood by her side)
Sylvia: [directed them to the nearest empty spot to put the body, thanked them n sent them off]
Peepers: (think)
Sylvia: Alright. All set n done. We all good to go?
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: Computer, take us to the planet that is stated in the article
Computer: Acknowledged. Heading off in 3... 2... 1... [started the ship]
Peepers: (sits in his seat, feeling Sylvia take his hand in hers)
Sylvia: :) [squeezed his hand reassuringly]
Peepers: :) (squeezed back)
[the ship soon flew n made its travel thru space towards their destination]
Peepers: (leans back in his seat)
Sylvia: [hears the twins whimpering in hunger]
Peepers: (signs) Want me to check on them?
Sylvia: Sure, go ahead (nod)
Peepers: (heads to the back to check on their babies)
Twins: [were bawling now in their baby pram]
Peepers: (signs) Hi there sweeties, daddy's here now. (stroked both their cheeks)
Twins: [reaches for their daddy]
Peepers: (picked them both up and rocked them gently)
Twins: [nuzzled against Peepers' chest, looking for their meal]
Peepers: (looks over to Sylvia)
Sylvia: [hears them fussing] Is everything alright, Pipsqueak?
Peepers: (signs) They're ready for another feeding.
Sylvia: Alright, bring them here. I still got some navigating to do
Peepers: (brings them over to her)
Sylvia: [finished her navigation n takes them] Aww~ is someone hungry? Come here, my little boo-boos ^3^
Twins: (coo and feed off of her)
Peepers: :)
Sylvia: [rocks them while she fed them]
Peepers: (watched them happily) ... :(
Sylvia: [noticed his frown] Wat's wrong, Pipsqueak?
Peepers: (signs) If they ask about what their grandparents were like... :(
Sylvia: Just tell them a watered dwn version of the truth, bt most important of all, remind urself of the good times u had with ur folks n remind them that as well. I know I would nvr lie to them abt my own parents
Peepers: ... (nod)
Sylvia: :) It'll be OK, Pipsqueak. We'll cross that bridge wen it happens
Peepers: (signs) I know.
Sylvia: [nuzzled him n continued nursing]
Peepers: (smiled at the twins) :)
