Location: Mining colony and Medical center
Timeline: Oct 17, 4566 late morning

Chandra was in whatever was left of her bomber left, still injured in the cracked cockpit. She ate through the last of everything and was too tired to do much else. After nearly two weeks, she finally had the radio working for short range and activated the distress call via Morse code. She then passed out from exhaustion.
TugarLast Sunday at 10:21 PM
Chandra awakens in what looks like a medical facility. She is restrained. Two people are milling about, both had on helmets and rebreathers.
 
“Ah!!!!” She screams in her French accident, “NON!!!!”
 
One of them turned around and walked over. "If you stop screaming, I will explain your situation." From what she can see, it looks like a black woman.
 
“Que?!” “Je ne parle pas anglais!” She said still freaking out. (What? I don’t speak English!)(edited)
 
"If you continue to be recalitrant, I will sedate you."  Sarissa said in French via the universal translator
 
Chandra shut up but was still tearing up, “I want my mother... where are my brothers...” She said in French still very much stressed.
 
Sarissa turned and grabbed a hypospray.  She dialed in a dose and pressed it against Chandra's neck. "I have given you a mild sedative to calm you down. Several blankets were brought over to keep her warm. The other person handed  Sarissa a padd. Chandra saw one of them nod. Ayasha peeled off her helmet. Moving closer to the woman. "You are safe. We  found what was left of your craft. Do you know where you are?" Ayasha asked, making her gestures as warm and friendly as she could
 
“Non... I ran from de Empire... Wait, where’s my father, he’s apart  of them maybe he knows what’s going on.” She said calmly in French.
 
"I know of no Empire, but we can get someone to help you find out more information. Your medical scan came back clean. If you remain calm, we can take off the straps. No one if going to hurt you. This is the Galactic Federation Medical Center." Ayasha offered.
 
Chandra laid her head back still quietly crying, she couldn’t get over the shock from the news. 
 
By now the sedative had kicked in. Ayasha carefully released one arm, waiting for a reaction before continuing.
 
Chandra was still laying there in disbelief. The drugs making her feel sick as she had never felt this calm.
 
Ayasha used the room scanner to check on the patient. "Are you okay? What can I get for you?"
 
Chandra just shook her head, “I want my family...” she whispered staring up at the ceiling.
 
"I wish I could get them for you. " Thinking to herself, don't we all want our loved ones, get in line behind me.After releasing the other arm, she helped sit Chandra up. "You might feel queasy, it will pass momentarily."
 
Chandra sat up then keeled over to the side and vomited on the floor. “Sorry... sorry” before vomiting again.
 
""We'll live." Ayasha said, flashing a bright smile. The dark woman came over. "I am Doctor Slane. I can give you medication for the nausea or you can suffer through it."
 
“Non... I’m fine now...” she said sitting back up holding herself.
“I’ve been alone for so long... it’s painful. I just want to know where my family is...” she said.
 
"You are not alone in the young one. Do you have a name?" Sarissa asked.
Ayasha loosened the leg straps, rubbing both to get the blood flowing.
 
“Ch-Chandra... Dee...” she said quietly.
 
Sarissa left eyebrow rose alone. "I will run a quick records search. Please do not move too much, but we can get you some water or tea." She turned, walking to a nearby console, her fingers moving quickly.
"There are some genetic abnormalties I cannot account, I may have an answer for you soon, there may be a familial link nearby. The cockpit in your ship was cracked so you've been exposed to the air on this planet. You have no unaccounted for illnesses or Viruses" Sarissa offered.
 
 Chandra looked at her with hope in her eyes, “You... you have family?” She asked starting to tear up again.
 
"My husband is elsewhere." Sarissa responded. "I will need to  run some additional tests." She Vx'd Ayasha a picture she'd taken of Chandra and ask her to go find Mister Dee. Ayasha left the room. "I've already taken the samples I'd need. A nurse will escort you to a resting area. This table is needed for the next patient. Are you up to walking?" She asked Chandra?
 
Chandra looked down at the floor then nodded. Slowly sliding off the bed then standing. “I-I’m fine.” She said giving a nervous smile.
 
'You are free to roam around, but until the results come in, please stay in the area." 
Ayasha found a few Marine guards and circulated the picture. A pair of Marines found Mister Dee in the market. "Mister Dee?
 
“Hold on a moment... I’m almost... Rip There we go.” He said ripping out a tag from his bag. Then turned around smiling. “Alright, what do you need now?” 

Chandra on the other hand walked over and sat down at a chair looking around silently. Unknowing of where she was.
 
It was the same guards as before. " You don't want to learn about your daughter. Find out from someone else." He turned to leave.
 
“Come again?” He asked confused, “Daughter? I think you may be confused my friend. I have no children.” He said stopping in front of them. “Could you please explain.” He asked smiling.
 
He held out his head and the helmet projected a near life-size head shot of the patient from Medical. "The medical team says there is a good chance your dna matches."
 
Kyle’s stares for a moment, “H-“ He collapsed and hit the floor from shock.
 
One guard turns to the other. "I guess slapping him would be too much fun." The other guard laughed. A nearby stall was filled with free water bottles. The nearest guard pull off the cap and poured it on Azazel's face.
 
Kyle woke up and jumped to his feet. He turned to them, his expression full of worry, “C-“ he took a moment to gather himself, “Please... show me.”
 
Like before, one led the way, the other followed at a distance. Soon they were near the Medical mobile hospital.  "In there." the guard thumbed.
 
Kyle stood at the entrance and took a deep breath then entered and looked around, He put back on his smile. “AH yes, you called me in.” He said glancing around then spotting Chandra, keeping his composure.

Chandra spotted the younger man walk into the room and didn’t know who he was. Thinking that he would take her to see the people, or maybe he was in charge. It was all a mystery.
 
Ayasha came out. "Come with me please.". He followed her into another room. Sarissa stood, looking at a scan of another patient. When they walked is changed the view and two dna sequences came up. "Mister Dee. Given your years, it's likely that you've had children. But according to the history, you've been in cyrgogenic suspension for millenia. But the woman out their is your daughter. So either you're lying or there are missing facts you've neglected to tell us." Sarissa said, pulled no punches.
 
“I-“ he stopped looking back at the door way from where he was. “I saw her die years ago. This is... this can’t be right. She’s not from here. She’s like Seraphina and Jack. She came from somewhere else. She-“ He was just completely in a state of emotional whiplash unable to understand what was happening.
 
"She does not have an abnormal genes like you do. Chronologically, she is 22 years old. I can tell you without reservation that person is your biological child. Perhaps some alternate version. You need to decide quickly if this is something you want. She deserves the truth. Like you, she came here alone." Sarissa commented.(edited)
 
Kyle looked at Sarissa and gave a slight smile, “Never had a second chance to meet her after I left...” He she’s a year then whipped it, “Okay...” he fixed himself then exited out and saw her, “Hello there. I’m Az- I’m Kyle. Kyle Dee. He said in French  squatting down in front of her.
Chandra looked at him surprised, “Kyle? Who are you? Are you a brother or cousin or...” 

Kyle shook his head, “Non... You knew me by Azazel. It has... it has been a while lass.” He said looking up at her. His face smiling but starting to shed tears. “I wish I was there for you and your mother more... I know I w-“ He was cut off by her hugging him and crying.
Chandra began to rant, “Why! Where were you! Who are you! I want mother! I need you please! I have so many questions...” all the while still crying.(edited)
Azazel stayed in place, “I know... There’s a lot to explain to you Chandra. Too much to explain.”
