"He was right? Who was right? About what? Amy, what are you talking about? Why are you acting so strangely? What do you get?"
None of this was making any sense in how she was acting...

Amy looked at Charybdis and sighed, the last hour or so leaving her very tired. "Take me to the Reverend" she said. "If you've ever really wanted to take the seal with me, let's just go now. No rest, no medlab, no anything. Let's just go, please, cause if it doesn't happen now, right now, it never will."
Her com beeped, and she checked the message, reading silently:
Attention Gold Squadron:
The following people are to meet me in the Gold Squadron Ready Room in thirty centons; Captains Skyler and Amy, Lieutenants Logan, Brik and Persephone. We have been given an assignment and will be leaving the Callisto exactly one centar after we exit the jump. Captain Hawke will be in charge of Gold Squadron in our absence. Captain Stadia and Lieutenant Artus will be on standby for patrol.
Major Brie
Amy put the com away, closed her eyes and tilted her head back. "Thirty centons" she said. "Can we get hitched in thirty centons?"

The jig was up. There was no going back.
I looked into her eyes. They just melted me...
"Well, if you can handle another ride in the turbolift, we only have two more floors to go to get to the Observation deck..." I held out my hand and she took it...

"Nuh-uh" Amy said. "Service stairs, two at a time?" She pulled him toward the service access door. In a flash they were up the stairs and out onto the observation level...

We stepped out of the access stairwell and onto the Observation Level. "His office is over here. Down this corridor and then turn left up ahead. Second door on the right. Come on..." I held her hand and started down the corridor enjoying of the view of the big windows on this deck...

Amy squeezed Charybdis's hand and held onto his arm with her other hand, leaning close. "We're going to do it!" she said smiling. Down the corridor they went, turning left and walking up to the second door on the right. Amy took a deep breath, smoothed out her blouse so it hung as low as possible on her legs, raised her hand, and with one more look at Charybdis she knocked on the door....

Amy knocked again but there was no answer. She started looking a bit flustered as no one answered the door. She knocked again and again and again almost looking desperate.
"Amy, he's not there." I reached out and grabbed her hand because it was already turning red from wrapping on the door. "Look. I'll find out where he is and ask him to meet with us. OK? But now, you'd better go...you said something earlier about 30 centons or a meeting or something?"
I could tell that she didn't want to go, like something very important depended on this, but there was no getting around it. Timing was terrible...

Amy looked over at Charybdis. "Meeting? I didn't say anything about a meeting." She looked at her chrono. "Besides, we still have 26 centons." She turned back to the door, giving it a boot this time. "Where the frack is he? It's not a holy day or anything. Maybe he's just in the 'flush..." She knocked again, using her other hand.....

"26 centons? Amy, where do you have to go in 26 centons?" I asked...

The door suddenly opened.
"Oh" Amy said, "Father Saturn..."
"Yes" he replied, "what can I do for you?"
"Is The Reverend in?" Amy asked.
"I'm afraid not" he replied. "He is ministering to the outer ships of the fleet."
"Priestess Venus then?" Amy asked.
"I'm afraid she's unavailable too."
"Pastor Uranus?"
"Uranus is quite backed up today. Heavy load."
Amy looked dejected.
"Can I be of assistance?" Saturn asked. He then noticed the Amy didn't seem to be wearing pants. "Perhaps you'd like to step inside?"
