Quinzel and Dodd enjoyed the company of one another and time was over for this affair. They got dressed and headed out as the transport was due to dock at Starbase 51 in a few minutes.

Quinzel casually slipped back to her duties and Dodd proceeded to his room to collect his gear and meet up the Bynars. Dodd then was met once again by Quinzel who escorted the three passengers to the airlock.

"Sir, you cargo will be transported to the lab coordinates you provided. We do hope you enjoyed your flight and may the great bird of the galaxy always be your guide." Quinzel stated to Dodd as the seal for the air lock engaged to permit the Bynars and Dodd to disembark to Starbase 51.

"Thank you, The flight was rather pleasant and I will look for this service in the future." Dodd stated with an onery grin. He then winked at Quinzel and stepped through the airlock.

Once on Starbase 51, Dodd directed the Bynars to their new quarters and conjoining lab. He helped them get their diplomatic credentials aligned and then allowed them to get set into a routine.

"I will leave you be for now. We will have regular communications as we get started on the SANS project and then as we make progress either my teammates or I will be reaching out to you for updates. If you discover any concerns feel free to send us what you wish to have us adjust. I feel we will be good to go and very respectful of the nanite technology we will be working with." Dodd stated as he was bidding the Bynars a farewell to report to his ship.

Dodd then headed to his small lab on Starbase 51, to get some gear he would need on the Tomcat. He had it all converted to a stored pattern buffer to allow him to be able to get all he would need for the work on the SANS while on the Tomcat. Once he grabbed the duffel bag and his dress uniform, he then secured his lab and departed for the docking bay where the Tomcat was still docked. Surprised that the refit ship was still at the station, he was relived as then he did not have to travel on yet another transport shuttle although the last one was very enjoyable.

Dodd then noticed Dr. Corsair in the corridor headed to the Tomcat as well.

"Well, fancy meeting you here, Doc." Dodd stated as they both approached the airlock.

"Well, I figured I would be needing to schedule a shuttle to catch the Tomcat but what the luck, she is still here." Vivian stated. "And I am surprised to see you, Remy. I thought your leave would take longer."

"Fortunately, I as able to make the most of my leave and got a lot of work accomplished in a short period and even helped escort the Kavian Nanite Collective Representatives to this Starbase for their residence here." Dodd replied. "So I guess we will get to join the rest of the family for the new shakedown voyage of our home."

"Fancy that, I am hoping that I will be able to figure out the new sickbay." Vivian added with a sly grin.

"I just hope I can find my quarters and that Hawksley was able to reinstall my hologame system and calibrate it for me." Dodd added. "Well, let's make our first steps on to the Tomcat. After you." Dodd stated.

Vivian then entered the docking tunnel and Remington was right behind her. The two of them were happy to be home once again.
