Mission: [USS Shanghai] S1, E3: Down Time
Location: Nemo's Lounge
Timeline: 05/17/2394, 1900 Hours

Harry had asked Tera to join him for a drink. They went to Nemo's. Tera thought it was a little inappropriate of him to be meeting her at this location. But in all honesty she did not want to be anywhere alone with him. Bad enough he and his rag tag crew saved her and the other colonist.

She walked into the lounge, and noticed Harry sitting down. He had a drink in his hand, but it was not alcohol. It appeared to be coffee. She was a little surprised this.

Maybe he was going to have a grown up conversation with him. That was a change. She walked over and took a seat. "Spanish coffee?" She asked, assuming he had not changed, just changed his drink.

"Just irish cream and coffee, no alcohol. Thanks for agreeing to meet with me today." Said Harry, as he continued on. "do you want a drink?" He asked.

"I'm fine, lets cut to the chase, you asked me hear to re consider my decision. But I will not, Kerja belongs with her mother and her people." Stated Tera, in a cold hearten tone. She was set to take Kerja back to Bajor.

"Is that's what's best for Kerja?" Asked Harry, trying to keep his cool. The idea that his daughter was going to be brainwashed by bajoran proproganda made him angry.

"Yes its best for her, the prophets will guide her." Annoyingly said Tera.

"The Prophets?" Stated Harry with an equally annoyed tone. "Where were they when the Crescent attacked New Bajor, when you were being tortured?" Asked Harry, in a calm voice. He had lost all patience at the moment. But was trying to keep calm.

"How dare you." Stated Tera. She knew what he was trying to do. "The prophets have always looked after my people, Kerja's people." Said Tera, trying to make her point that her daughter was going to be raised Bajoran not by human ideologies.

"I do not know why I am trying to be nice to you, you stole our daughter fled to Bajor, you hid the fact I had a daughter. "You tell me its cause of my maturity, but in reality its because your bajoran and your forcing your bajoran indoctrination on her. She is part human, she has the right now about her human heritage." Said Harry as he lost all cool.

"You have not changed at all." Stated Tera.

"No, I have. The difference, I am not narrow minded and place my personal beliefs over the needs of my child. Kerja will learn to resent you for this, if you do not change Tera."

"You spent a few weeks now you think your father of the year, wake up from your Euphoria Harry." Demanded Tera, as her tone raised slightly.

"Maybe I am living in Euphoria, but your bringing me back to reality. I thought we could talk about this, allow me to have a role in her life. The courts ruled in your favor, I can not stop you from taking her. But she will resent you for this." Said Harry.

"It was never my intentions for you to meet her." Said Tera.

"She did, and now you will have a lot to answer for." Said Harry, stating the obvious.

"I think we are done here, Harry." Said Terra as she stood up and left without saying goodbye.

Harry took another sip of his coffee. "I guess we are."
