Mission: [New Haven] S1, E1: The Emissary's Return
Location: Holodeck 2, Holo Paris

Bervag was just outside the door of Holodeck 2, with Dan and T'San. "Computer, confirm location of T'Meela and Orson De?"

"T'meela and Orson De are in Holodeck 2." Was the reply.

"Well, they're in there alright. What do you say we say hi?'

Dan looked to the two of them. "We are still parents here. Well, you not officially yet. And I know I have been very easy on T'Meela. We may need to set some ground rules?"

T'San raised an eyebrow. Then gave a little sigh as she tried to say as emotionless as possible. "Well, since I am the Vulcan, I am probably the one that has to do it."

Dan put his hand on her shoulder. "Allow me this time." He moved in front of T'San to open the door. He stopped a moment and took a deep breath before he hit the button to open the door. The doors swish open to reveal a Paris by night. He blinked at the scenery. "T'Meela always loved Paris when she was younger."

T'San followed behind him. "Well the darkness would be Orson's doing, he is not that keen on bright light. His home planet has very little light. Because their moon is blocking most of the sunlight throughout the year. And they have a lot of moons too. Which is probably why they are called the Crescent."

"That makes sense" Bervag said, following close behind. "Ok. Dark because of Orson. And T'Meela is fond of Paris you said. Bervag said."Any special place where she would meet someone?"

Dan looked around. "Yes, I think think the square near the Notre Dam. Follow me." He started to walk in to that direction. "This seems much easier without the tourists," He said chuckling. "I guess our young couple didn't want to be disturbed."


"Lead on" Bervag said. "I guess so" Bervag said. "At least we know one of them has a flair for the romantic"

T'Meela was still holding Orson. She then let him go a bit and looked to him. "We should probably tell my parents," she said. She shrugged a bit. "So any wedding rituals you want me to uphold from your culture? I rather have this discussion now." She grinned. "Plus, I kind of like to stay like this a while. So this is what happiness feels." She felt like a small child that given a present.

Dan walked in on them first, spotting them at the fountain. They were entangled in a hug. He just caught what his daughter said. "Yes it does, pumpkin," Dan said with a grin on his face, as he walked towards the pair.

T'Meela got up a little off guard. She hadn't expected them. "Father? Mother? Captain Bers?"

"Please, sit." Dan said, trying his best not getting all emotional. He gestured for her to sit next to Orson and then he crouched in front of them taking her. "I sometimes forget how grown up you are right now. But seeing you here with Orson...I just...I don't know what to say. But I have to be the father now and we have to talk about this."

T'Meela remain quiet. She never seen her father so serious. "Yes, father anything."

Dan got up and put his vulcan on, as well as put his hands behind his back. "T'Meela, Orson, you are not little children anymore. In fact you are nearing the age of adulthood. The age where you are deemed legally to make your own decisions. But you are not there yet. And until that time you are under our care, and there for..." He crouched down again is this really what you want? You are still so young. You are still my little girl."

T'Meela tried to remain calm. Her father seemed to be his old emotional self again. T'San pulled him up. "Husband, allow me." She said and looked to T'Meela. "Your father loves you very much. Which is probably why we have not arranged a marriage for you. Your father felt you would find someone yourself. And you have. He is very emotional about it right now, but we're not humans. We raise our children to be wise in their choices. And I can tell you choosing Orson isn't just what your feelings make you do, but you looking after yourself to be with someone you trust. But also at the same time would be a diplomatic one. I approve, well provided he gets the proper guiding as a young man himself." She looked over to Bervag now.

"And I'd be happy to provide that guidance. I know what it's like to be young and in love. Multiple times over" he chuckled. "Sorry. Its a Trll thing. Anyway." He cleared his throat.

"I've been talking to Dan and T'San. And I'd never thought I'd see this day. But, since I've met you I'd seen you as a very nice young man in need of a father figure. Especially if what we know about your grandmother is true. So...what about me?" He asked.

Orsons face went blank. "Captain Bervag?" He said. "What does that mean exactly."

"I want to adopt you" Bervag said simply.

Orson looked at T'Meela.

T'Meela still trying to control over her emotions, so she smiled. "Orson, that's incredible. Bervag combined with the experience of his symbiont, you couldn't ask for a better father. And I should know. I was joined to Bers. Sort off." She looked a moment to Bervag. "Anyways..." She diverted the attention from that subject, knowing how hard Bervag found that, "To Federation laws, you are still a minor and you need a legal guardian to act on your behalf and since starfleet granted you asylum, you are going to need it."

"So, what do you say? I'd be proud to have you in my family.' Bervag said.

Orson blushed, wiped away a tear and just hugged Bervag.

"I know we still got the paperwork to deal with," T'San said as she took T'Meela's hand and pulled her up. Dan realizing what she was doing took Orson's hand and then that of T'Meela from his wife. He sighed as he tried to get a hold of his emotions again. "Orson," He said, "Please take care of my daughter." He then put her hand in Orson's hand. As he was now holding both hands.

Orson, still reeling from the whole situation just nodded. "If course." He said. "I would never do anything to hurt her."

Dan nodded as he let go of their hands. "Now, any wedding rituals from the Crescents you would like to uphold, son?"

"There is one. A joining of hands. Like a bonding of sorts." Orson said.

"That is beautiful," Dan said. "I believe there some Earth cultures that do that as well. We can put that in to the ceremony. I will start planning immediately he said. As he looked smiling at his daughter and future son in law.
