counter they were sitting at.
“Ok Zeb, can you please tell me now what you wanted to see me for? I also have a new bride waiting for me to return, so spill it.”
Both Avery and Brylon looked at Zeb and waited anxiously to find out what he wanted. “Alright, here goes nothing. I was thinking last night about what you said Avery. About how we took you away from everything that was yours. The more I thought about it, the more I realized we really had gone about this in the wrong way. So, I came up with something that I hope would make you a little bit happier with being here. I can’t return you to your life. But I am hoping, with Brylon’s assistance, that I would be able to go and retrieve some of your belongings from your home on Earth and bring them here to you.”
Avery sat there in silence while Brylon looked at him as if he had lost his mind. “How do you plan on pulling that off my friend? You know that the council will have your head if they find out that you went down to the planet without permission.”
“That’s why I have you, Mr. Ship’s engineer. You know how to block the electronportation machine. It’s your baby. You know it in and out and besides we’ve done it before so what’s the difference now?”
“That was a long time ago Zeb. We could both be brought up on charges for illegal use of the ship’s machinery.” Brylon shook his head then smiled at Zeb, “But you know I am always up for a challenge. When do you want to do it?”
“I would like to do it as soon as Avery gives me a list of the things that she wants.” Zeb gave Avery a weak smile hoping that he would receive a smile back. He was dying to see her smile.
“Do you have a piece of paper and something to write with? It’s going to be a long list.” He didn’t get the smile he wanted but at least she wasn’t starting to throw another tantrum.
“Go ahead and write the list Avery. Even better Zeb, you can use the visual camera guides that I designed. I haven’t had the chance to test them out yet and this would be the perfect time to find out if they work. Avery can come and stay with me in the transportation room and watch as you gather her things. That way if there is something else she sees she wants, you will be able to get it. That is, if it’s ok with Avery?” Brylon raised his brows towards Avery and waited.
She looked back and forth between both men not sure exactly what to say. “You will get everything that I ask for?”
“Everything.” One simple word started to change her outlook on the situation she was in. It was either live here with Zeb in complete misery or live in misery but with some of her own personal possessions. She chose the latter option.

An hour later the three of them were standing in the transportation room. Zeb was standing on the silver pad that would transport him back down to the surface of the planet.
“Ok commander. I am going to transport you directly in Avery’s home. That way no one will see you coming or going or try to give you any problems. You are going to have to make it quick.”
“Let’s do this.” Zeb gave a thumbs up and waited for the electronportation to start breaking his body down into a trillion pieces and then putting him back together in an instant at a totally different location.
Avery watched in pure amazement as Zeb slowly started to become transparent and disappear from her view into thin air. About ten seconds later she could hear his voice coming over the speaker from the control panel where Brylon was sitting.
“I’m in.”
“Good. Now get to work, you don’t have much time.” Brylon responded back to Zeb. “Turn on the visual guide system, Zeb.” He waited eagerly for the first image to come through from the device that Brylon had been working on for the past month. He hoped he had worked out all the kinks so that they would be
