"Sarha, could you find the closest military post or large space station with a hospital?" asked Tim.
"Tim, checking my database, I see a military station; it is about two weeks travel time," Sarha replied.
Tim stepped away from everyone, "Sarha, I need to know something. I know we can accommodate 356 people, but can we keep them in a single area, say deck 3?" asked Tim.
"Tim, we can move them all to deck 3, then limit the access, only allowing the ones you need to have communication with certain limited access," said Sarha.
"OK, I will need all access except for deck 3 blocked. Cameras should record corridors. The lift should limit the passengers to cargo bay three and deck three only." Said Tim.
"Tim will have that all finished in twenty-one minutes. Will there be anything else?" asked Sarha.
"Yes, I'm sending Madlyn back on the first trip. Have a couple of bots help her set up a medical room on deck 3," Tim said.
"How do you want me to keep track of the individuals coming and going aboard?" asked Sarha.
"I will ask Doctor Bob and DarkIce that question in a minute," Tim said. "Sarha, Can I use one of the bot's as a sound amplifier? That way, I can tell everyone what I want to be done."
"Yes, just say amplifier mode, then start talking," Sarha replied.
Tim called Doctor Bob and DarkIce over to him. "Gentlemen, if we could, there are a few things we need to figure out. First, I need a way to keep track of each individual. Do you have any ideas?" asked Tim.
"Tim, could you please call me Bob? Doctor Bob sounds so childish." Said Bob.
"Why do you need that?" asked DarkIce.
"That's so if anyone goes missing or hides, we will know. The ship has all kinds of sensor devices. But unless we have a way of identifying each onboard, we will have no idea who is missing." Said Tim.
"I do not think my group will mind at all. We have been doing that kind of checking for most of the time here." Said Bob.
"How, will this be done?" asked DarkIce.
"I will send two bots to each group. They will scan each individual, along with a voiceprint." Said Tim.
"Have fun there! I had four individuals in my group that does not speak our language. We have not been able to talk to them for three years." Said Bob.
"How were you dealing with them?" asked Tim.
"Made up hand sign language mostly." Said Bob.
"Give me one minute, please. Sarha, can your bot speak many languages?" asked Tim.
"Tim, if the individual talks to the bot, I will match the language with the ones I have in my database." Said Sarha. "If I have it, I can and will translate for you."
"Thanks, that will do." Said Tim.
"OK, Bob, the bot will be able to talk to them if their language is in our database system. We will have the bot translate for us. Will that be OK with you?" asked Tim.
"That will be great. But after that, how will we be able to talk?" asked Bob.
"We'll handle that later, OK?' said Tim. "Now, DarkIce, will there be a problem with your group?" asked Tim.
"I don't think so. When we spoke a few minutes ago, a couple of them shook their heads. I'm not sure whether they understood or didn't care." Said DarkIce.
"When they speak with the bot, the bot will ask some questions." Said Tim.
"Do either of these groups have kids?" asked Tim. "If there are children, the parents must be with that child," Tim said.
Tim signaled the bots to come forward. He gave the bots instructions and told two bots to go with Bob and the other two to go with DarkIce.
Tim turned to talk to the girls, who just stood there listening. "Madlyn, you will go up with the first group; the bots are now setting up a medical center on deck 3 for you. When the bots talk to each individual, they will ask about seeing a Doctor. If the individual wishes, they will be brought to you when they reach deck 3."
"Tim, I will be there until everyone is taking care of. Can I have Jeanne help?" asked Madlyn.
"Yes, Jeanne will be available for you. Sarha will be recording everything like always." Tim said.
Madlyn and Jeanne moved over by the first shuttle and looked inside to make sure everything was OK. "Madlyn, did you hear Tim was talking to another Doctor? His name is Bob." Said Jeanne.
"Maybe I can get him to help, checking-in all the new patients," said Madlyn.
Sarha informed Tim that all the interviews were done. She did have the voice database for the individuals in question. There were a couple of individuals who asked about some other clothing. I told them after they were on the ship, we would help them with that.
"Sarha, how many different languages are out there now?" asked Tim.
"Tim, at this time, you have four different languages, but only one group does not understand your speaking." Said Sarha.
"Sarha, I need that group moved to the side, with one bot to translate," Tim said.
Sarha has the bot walk up to the group and asks in their language for them to follow him, telling them it's so he can translate without disturbing the others.
Tim brought the three bots back towards him. He had the bots stand facing the groups. He then found something to stand on so more individuals could see him.
"May I have your attention, please? My name is Tim Bodge; I understand you wish to travel with my crew and me to the next military base. I have no problems with that. There are a few things I need you to be aware of. First, the trip will be about two weeks long.
We will load each of you onto a shuttle to take you aboard our ship. You will be received in our cargo bay 3. You then will be sent to deck 3 for your housing, and housing will be handed by family's, couples, singles, and groups.
There are food dispensers in each unit. When you talked to my bots, they collected your DNA, so our food dispensers will only make the proper food for you. However, you may order whatever food or drink you like.
Sorry, but you will only be allowed access to deck 3. If you have questions, there is a communicator in each unit. Please use it. It will answer all questions. It will take us a day or two to get everyone and their items loaded, so please be patient." Tim said.
Tim calls over DarkIce. "Since your group just got here and has minimal belongings. Your group will load first. I would like the families to be the first ones to go." Tim said.
Tim moved to the shuttle; DarkIce walked, towards him, followed by about 25 individuals. There were a few small children in this group. Tim allowed them into the shuttle, ensuring that everyone was seated and fastened in. Madlyn and Jeanne took their seats, and the first new passengers were on their way.
"Tim, Tabitha will be landing in a few minutes. She will be able to take the rest of the group of 205, all at once." Said Sarha.
"DarkIce, please have the rest of your group start loading into the second ship. As soon as it lands." Said Tim.
It was only about a thirty-minute wait. DarkIce and the rest of his group loaded into the ship with everything they brought with them. Tabitha piloted her ship back up to bay 3. From there, everyone was shown the way to Deck 3. Sarha assigned every person to their unit, instructing a bot to show them the way.
Sarha had instructed the bots to install tables and chairs on deck three in the assembly area so that their guests would have someplace to eat. She also had a hologram of deck 3, showing all the different portions of their deck. Telling them what they could and could not utilize.
"Tim, I had the replicators create translators for every person so that everyone will be able to converse." Said Sarha. "They will be distributed in the morning.
But the translators will need to be returned to us before they leave this ship, should just place them on their upper right chest, for the best outcome."
"Thank you, I never thought of that. I saw the bots had prepared a place where they can eat. Did everybody get their room or somewhere to sleep?" asked Tim.
"Yes, on all counts, I have seven bots on Deck 3 to answer any questions they may have." Replied Sarha.
"Sarha, have you seen the girls?" asked Tim. Tim was now sitting in his seat, thinking, 'it's been a long day. I Just hope I did not make any mistakes today.'
Sarha made a sound to get Tim's attention. "They are down on deck 3, meeting and talking to our visitors. Would you like me to call them?" asked Sarha.
"No, everyone needs to learn to be a diplomat for the work we're about to do." Said Tim. "Sarha, did Jim reply to the message with the location of the pirate's base?"
"Yes, Tim he replied. He still cannot believe the whole story, but he will be sending a taskforce this way." Replied Sarha. "Tim, what are we going to do with the pirates left on the ship?"
"Once we get everyone off the base, we will have a shuttle retrieve the pirates and take them to their base, but before that, we will destroy all but one building. Leaving them with food and shelter."
Tim got up from his chair and headed towards the lift. "if I am needed, call. Tell the girls I have already headed to bed,"

Bob brought everybody together so he could tell them what was going on. He said that Tim would take every individual or family when they all have their belongings and put them on the loading dock. If that took a couple of days, that was OK.
Before the families returned to their units inside the building to begin packing, Bob told them to bring everything they needed and put it on the dock, and make sure they had their names on every one of their things. Tomorrow, bring whatever you can carry. We'll have bots here to help load everything.
"Sir, do I have to leave my pets here?" asked one of the kids.
"I will talk to Tim in the morning, but I don't think Tim is the kind of guy to tell a kid that he will have to leave pets behind," said Bob. The boy now had the most enchanting face. "By the way, what are your pets? Why have I not seen them?"
"Sir, my pets are deer's, but sir, they are small deer's. They only stand four feet tall and weigh only 50 pounds each." Said the small boy.
"I have not seen any deer's around. Where have you been keeping them?" asked Bob.
Well, sir, a couple of months ago, the pirates shot their mother in the field, right outside the gates. We went to the fields. I found them there, encouraging them to come with me. I used bread, and I kept them behind one of the storage buildings. So, no one would see them.
"Son, make sure when you bring them, you have them tied together and cover their heads." Said Bob.
"Yes, sir." Said the child. He was now the happiest kid in the universe. He was jumping with joy.
"Let's go back to the unit and start getting things ready." Said his mother. They left the group along with the other families.
Bob tells the rest of the people that they should do the same thing. Bob was single, so there wasn't much to pack. So, he went back to the house and collected some of the things that meant something.

Tim awoke to something tickling his cock. Opening his eyes, He found Tabitha laying the opposite way in bed with her tongue lightly lapping the underside of his cock. She looked up at him with a smile and went back to enjoying her morning breakfast.
"Tim, while Tabitha has breakfast, can we talk?" asked Tammy. She was now sitting on Tim's left side, with her legs crossed in front of her.
"Do you want to talk at a time like this?" asked Tim.
"Yes, so I get a full answer, and Tabitha gets a full stomach." Said Tammy.
