San Francisco, December 28, 2144

Uncle Kenzo had offered to take the Sato children to San Francisco for the day, and Hoshi was excited enough to forget her misgivings over the strange gift. To her surprise, her father decided at the last minute to join them.

Papa didn't say a single word until they came across a group of protesters carrying signs that read "Earth Is For Humans Only" and heading for the Vulcan Embassy. "You were taking my children to a Terra Prime rally?" he shouted at Kenzo.

Hoshi knew that she had to get help fast for Papa and the poor young Denobulan who had the misfortune of running into a mob of Terra Prime supporters. ( Finding help )

She had made the decision that she was going back to Fandom the next day. Things were just way too weird between her parents right now and with Kenzo thrown into the mix, it was worse. Hoshi just hoped they could sort things out.
