Orion: “Father!”
Yang: “Ah, Orion! My son! You are back! Welcome
home! Tell me, was the study-trip successful?”
Orion: “That? Ah, yes! The girls had a lot of fun! But
that's not why I am here!”
Yang: “What is it?” he said while feeding a baby.
Orion: “We met a mystery woman on our way back,
clad in very strange attire, but that's not the weird part.”
Yang: “Oh? Go on my son. Speak your mind.”
Orion: “Attar says, that she is not only around thirty
years of age, but her nanites were dormant before we met.
And on top of that, her past hundred or more generations
of ancestors, all had dormant nanites in their genes!”
mother would be curious to know, who else invented
them.”
Orion: “That's the strange thing. She is from Earth!”
Yang: “Oh? How curious!”
Orion: “Aaand... We bonded!”
Yang: “Oh? Congratulations then! It was about time!”
Orion: “Not you too!”
Amused at his, ever stern, son's emotional reaction,
general Yang, let out the most deep, echoing, cheerful
laughter, Orion has ever heard of his father.
In the mean time, Attar was now with his mother in her
lab, both sharing their newfound data.
Yin: “By the way son, is the woman you found, by any
chance, Orion's bonded mate?”
Attar: “Yes, right as usual mother! Now, about these
readings. How long until the asteroid comes to Earth? And
how certain are you, that it's not them?”
Yin: “By my calculations, it will take five years for the
object to arrive, and as for your next question, only time
will tell, if it's them or not!”
