Room 212 - Saturday morning

[canlendanear]

This week when Alara made her normal call home, she was joined by a tiny visitor named Anna who had found her earlier that morning and told her that she was her daughter from a possible future.

She knew Solana would want to witness the latest Fandom occurrence and so had decided that Anna should be on the call as well since Anna had been excited about seeing a younger version of her Aunt.

It didn’t take long for the conversation to turn to the future and Anna’s parentage.

[for the kidlet but can be open!]

Comments

"My dad's the Captain of the Orville," Anna told her Aunt, "he's human so we can't all live on Xeyala but I live with mum and my grandparents and dad visits when he can,"

Solana raised an eyebrow at that but didn't say anything, she seemed to be debating on which aspect of Alara's possible future to comment on and finally asked, "how did Alara meet a human captain?"

"Apparently in this possible future I am ... was the Chief of Security on the Orville," Alara braced herself for the revelation that in one timeline she pursued a non academic career and one away from Xeyala at that.

Solana didn't say anything for a bit before finally settling on, "do you have military ambitions?"

"I ... this version of me did," Alara didn't really want to get into an argument about her future at that moment, "this is only a possible timeline,"

Solana merely nodding, turning her attention back to Anna, "so your half human? Did your dad name you?"

"I was named after a character from one of dad's favourite movies," Anna told her, "it's really old, like from Earth's twentieth century ... he showed me the movie when I visited once," there was a pause, "mum liked the name because it fit with Xeyala naming traditions,"

Alara did smile at that, it was still strange attending school in Earth's past but hearing Anna talk about a movie that was really old by her standards, was still pretty recent for Alara in this time.

"So do you visit your dad a lot?" Solana asked Anna.

Anna shook her head, "I only get to see him a couple of times on the Orville, mostly he visits us if the Orville is close enough to Xeyala, he's pretty busy most of the time,"
