Orchid watched as Rose manhandled the Black Orchid. She could not help but wonder if Rose Coren would have been a better choice than the Bzzt Khaht Tracklerca. She wondered about the harsh objections to her as a pilot. She was wonderful.
She saw a lot of wonderful qualities in the young lady. She had babysat Rose when she was a small child. She had a kinship with the young pilot.
Nicole sat alone in her house. Wilma had been wonderful but she had done her thing and she had left. She was a marine. It was how she did things. She came, she saw, she conquered and she left.
She was sitting alone on the porch when a small rose appeared, teleported onto her deck. There was no note, no warning, no nothing just a rose.
Nicole picked it up and then smiled, "Thank you, Wilma."
Orchid smiled, "Not Wilma, my dear."
