Caven woke up feeling a little fuzzy from all the bourbon. He had to give the Fletcher clan one thing and that was they knew how to make good bourbon, if nothing else was good about then that that was enough for Cave. Laying there on the bed in one of he guest rooms at Will's grandfather's place, for some reason he was thinking about his dad and finally after crawling from the bed and pulling on some sweats he walked over to the desk. He figured he would see if his dad was busy, if he was then he would go down stairs see where Will was, probably still sleeping in his room having gotten drunk as well last night.
Sitting down at the desk and activated the desk monitor.
"Computer," Caven said rubbing his bare chest and rubbing his eyes. ~Why in hell do I always drink so much?~ he asked himself as he then focused on the screen. "Open a communication to Field Marshal Ranzik Gosslier, Office of Ministry of Military Affairs, Camino."
"Connecting..." the Computer informed.
The Screen to show someone other then his father or his mother. It was a long haired blond female in a Full bird colonel Starfleet uniform. "Caven is that you?" Colonel Silvermain would ask slightly, it had been a little while since had seen the woman who had taken over being Ranzik's personal Yeoman after he made Field Marshal and the CO of the marines in the Camino System.
"I will have to pull your father off the Grounds, it is only around 3 pm here. I cant slow him down, even at his age. Do you have time to wait?" Silvermain would ask.
"Sounds like Dad," He said grinning. "Sure I can wait, oh and you're looking good." Caven said with a grin and then waited for Colonel Silvermain to go and retrieve Ranzik.
Silvermain laughed as she left the view of the screen.
It would take a few minutes for Ranzik to get back in the room again. "Caven give me a second, i need to clean myself up a little more" Ranzik could hear the sound of the water running and then sound of the towel being dropped in a basket
Sitting down and looking to the screen. Field Marshal Ranzik Gosslier was a Salt & Pepper older gentleman now, but it wouldn't show on his face what so ever. He looked like a very healthy 40 year old man still. "Caven my son, where are you? that isn't the B.O.Q. (Bachelor Officer Quarters) at Mars Station, Are you OK Caven?"
"Dad, relax.. I'm on Earth at Will's place in Germany. Have a little shore-leave before I take post on he Monitor. Just had you on my mind, actually lot is on my mind lately. You're just one of many things." Cave said as he gave a shrug.
Ranzik would sit back in his chair slightly, tapping a button on the chair "Colonel, please don't let anyone disturb me for awhile. The only way i wanna see someone in my door is if the Klingon's balls finally dropped and they are brave enough to come after the Camino system"
Silvermains voice came back with a laugh "Rodger that General, what if A'dema Hassan shows up here looking for you?"
"She can come in here, i still have to go home at some point" Ranzik would say with a laugh
"Rodger that general" Silvermain would close the channel
Ranzik would look back to his son "Sorry about that Cave, Are you talking about the Same Will that was your dorm mate that Academy? the same one you slept with at the Academy? Your CO on the Monitor?"
Caven's dad was never one to be shy, in some ways he was more Camaean then human. "Yes, that's the same Will. We didn't slept together, we had sex... and furthermore we were drunk." Caven said grinning. "And yes, he's going to be my Commanding Officer on the Monitor." Cave said and then shook his head. "You make it sound like we've got a continue thing going on, it's not you and mom, it happened and we've not done it again... Now if you want all the details about what happened, what it felt like and if it was good, I can go on." Cave said grinning.
Ranzik slightly shook his head "NO that is ok Caven, i don't need the details." Laughing slightly "So where are you at then if you aren't on Mars." Perking a brow slightly "You know if me and your mom had not kept going, you wouldn't have Callen or Saralyn to have around" Ranzik would smirk.
"Callen and Saralyn have some issues that I can't even cover." Caven said and grinned. "I want what you and mom have, and but that's to say I'm not going to enjoy myself until I do find that person." Cave said and grinned. "How's mom, when I was there she looked tired."
Ranizk would laugh "Callen and Saralyn, didn't do most of there growing up on a Federation Star ship like you did, So yes they will have a different out look on shit" Ranzik looked at him "Caven you will find your soul mate at some point very soon im sure" Ranzik looked around slightly in his office and pulled out a bottle of Water "Your Mom is the new Director of the Ranger Intelligence Department. She would have been your boss over all" Ranzik took a deep breath "Your mom works as much as i do any more, but im being told i have to slow down even though im being looked after by one of the best Doctors in the Military Sect."
"You both should retire and enjoy a quiet life somewhere far away from the war, Dad. You've both gave so much, lost so much and spent so much time." Caven said, though he knew his mom nor his dad would ever retire. They'd die working. "Will's not doing to good, dad, not sure what to say to him. He lost a lot of friends on the ship he was lsat on... don't know what to say, worried about how this is effecting him."
Ranzik looked at the screen and clicked a couple of buttons on the chair "Will was on the Roddenberry with Vice Admiral Fletcher and Colonel Devon, at least from what his service record says" taking a deep breath "There were involved in a couple of really bad fights, i dont know how iti s going to effect him either, but i can tell you what will make him get though it all better.: Sitting back again "It will take the friendship of his XO and a good friend that will not hold punches."
Caven nodded. "I know, just wish didn't have to be like this." He said and looked around as he leaned back in the desks chair. "He's only 23 years old and already carries the weight of the universe on his shoulders. I've taken it on as my job to make him stop and enjoy life here and there, either he'll kill me for pushing him or he might actually start having some fun." Caven said as he looked at his dad.
Ranzik would nod slightly "Cave, Will does have alot of pressure on his shoulders as a very young CO, granted i know he will get some great young crew members, but he will need to start out small. Honestly, with everything you will be dealing with out there, make it a dry boat besides a small amount of beer on the ship. Granted that will hurt for a little while but that is what i would suggest for any new CO coming on a ship, with history."
"A dry boat?" Caven's eyes glazed over at the idea of no booze. "I'll be sure and tell that to Will when he gets up. Got any advice for a new XO, dad?" Caven asked.
Ranzik would smirk slightly "I was never an XO, but some advise for you is to relie on your NCOs, not just on the officers. Your Enlisted personal are going to have more Experience then both you and Will will have combined, or i can make sure that happens for you? it would just take one phone call." Ranzik would smirk slightly.
Cave perked his expression at his father. "You mean you would call in babysitter watch dog, someone who would report to you and keep you informed what's going on with the Monitor, not to mention Will and I." Caven said.
Ranzik looked his son square in the eyes "Do you really think i would send a babysitter to report back to me about what is going on the Monitor, when i have access to all personal and Crew logs from the ship? i can find the location out of the ship with a couple of clicks on my console?" Ranzik would smile "The phone call would be getting you an experience crew member that is good at what they do and will make sure that you all don't die a very horrible and needless death."
"You would only know what we put in our reports. You having someone on the Monitor could give you human insight as to what's going on. Our state of minds and shit. I know I can't talk you out of this cause I imagine you've already made the arrangements. Just don't tell Will, last thing he needs right now is to think Star fleet is sending someone to watch him cause I know him he'll think he's not doing a good enough job."
Ranzik looked at him "Yes i have already made the phone call" Ranzik took a deep breath "I will make sure to inform the guy, that you already know and he isn't to tell Lt Fletcher. I have already told the guy that he isn't to report back to me about the ship, only to let it slip if something happens with you all." Ranzik took a deep breath "Cave, i am worried about you. I don't wanna see anything happen to you guys out there. Do you understand what that would do to me and your mother if something happened to you?"
Caven nodded slowly. "I understand and that's why I'm not mad about it, this is who you are. You've always done this with me, Callen and Saralyn." The sandy blond man said as he leaned forward, as if he was talking more privately with his dad. "I can't promise you anything, neither I nor Will knows what will happen out there, Dad. You know as well as I do this is a time of war and with wars things happen we don't expect or can't plan for. If anything, hope you, mom and Cal and Sara know anything about me is the fact that I love you all... what I do out there is what you have done all your life."
"Caven i have never doubted the fact of you loving any one of us, We all love you too. Even that half of your moms family that wanted you in the Rangers, they still love you. We all know that it is very Dangerous out there, if it wasn't it wouldn't be the greatest adventure you can have once you get old enough." Ranzik would tell him.
The young Gosslier looked at his father. "You don't want me out there do you, you'd rather me be at some desk job or aid to some officer some where...." He trailed off and looked down thinking, "Do you understand I have to do this, not for me, but for you, mom, Callen, Saralyn, everyone everywhere. The war is taking lives both officers, NCOS, Civilians... the war doesn't matter, Dad. Will and I do this for all that and more."
Ranzik looked at his son "Caven, from the day you first arrived on the Hyperion, i knew there was no holding you back from being a Soldier. I want you safe as a Father, but as a General, i know you are right were you need to be at." Ranzik would slightly "Is there anything you and Will are going to need, besides a major upgrade to your ship?" Ranzik smirks jokingly.
"Just prayers, dad.. just prayers." Caven said and sighed. "Give mom a hug and kiss for me, and do me one other thing. Take it easy, you should be enjoying life not worry about us kids." Caven said and grinned at his father. "le vei Eris'ta, sion." Caven said in Camaean, which translated to, 'Be at peace, always.'
Ranzik would just nod to his son "le vei Eris'ta, sion" Ranzik would back just as fluently "We will always pray for you. Im always taking it easy, they wont let me leave the world on missions any more."
"I know, but also know if you really wanted to do something no one could stop you." Caven said, "I love you dad.. take care of mom," he raised his hand to give a soft wave. Always made him feel better to talk to his dad.
"Love you too Son, you come back here with your shield or on it" Ranzik would say waving to his son.
Caven hit the end communication button and leaned back in his seat. Sitting there for a moment, he then stood up and stripped out of his sweat pants and headed for the shower. Might well get cleaned up and then get something to eat, though it would probably be crackers and water after the binder he put on last night.
