Sooo...Meet-y

[cityship]

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their number. After the recent revelation, many of them were even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Brainiac 5 and Sensor were set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings.

There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.

"Farad'n?!" Alia was openly surprised, "Why would you marry into house Corrino? That just seems absurd! He's nothing but a pawn to his mother..." As she thought on it, Alia wondered who made such a ridiculous decision. Had Feyd still lived, she would have preferred a Harkonnen treaty, to a Corinno one.
And then it hit her.
There was most likely only one person who could have made such a decision.
Irulan.
The crafty whelp was alwaysplotting with the Bene Gesserit. Was it not the princess who had fed Chani contraceptives? Was it not Irulan that hated Alia most?

"You thought it was a good idea," Ghani informed her Aunt with an almost innocent expression. "And he was no longer a pawn of his Mother by the time of our arranged marriage. He... cleared a few things up and you exiled her." She didn't bother adding that she had still planned on killing him for the 'death' of Leto though.

The word moved her more deeply than a normal person could see. Revelation about he own action in the futures she could not see though she tried...



He said more, but she could not hear it over the rising din of the voices in her ears. They flashed into and out of her vision, hovering between her and Ghanima. Faces she knew but had never seen, each demanding to voice their opinion in shouts and shrieks.Alia lost all composure for a moment, and her eyes flashed the distress and she put her hand to the bridge of her nose again, rubbing it to soothe her pounding head.

Concerned, Ghanima reached out and gently touched Alia's arm. "How about we get you somewhere so you can sleep? We have plenty of time to talk." She offered Alia a small smile, but really she was beginning to wonder just how far gone Alia truly was.

Alia looked up, also startled by her neice's touch.
It felt odd to be standing eye to eye with the child. Barely more than a year or two between them. Yesterday she had been only a baby, today she was a companion.
What else did this girl know?
This child that lived the future.

"Yes." She breathed deeply trying to hold on to her own thoughts, as Ghanima's touch seemed to send the voices back to the depths.
"It feels much needed, thank you."

She smiled gently and steered Alia around so they were walking toward the City. "You're welcome. I was able to find a place... Without so much computer intervention. And without the whole feel of the ship. A real bed and sheets. You should be able to get some sleep there."
