"A New Life..."

Setting: USS EGYPT, Guest Quarters
Elliot awoke still feeling quite bewildered ::was it all true, did I receive these instructions to report to NEW ALEXANDRIA,:: he thought as he got up out of bed and walked over to the replicator. "Iced glass of lemon water," the Ensign commanded... He took a drink
and sat his glass on the oval table next to the large window and stared into outer space.
"*Dad!*" came a loud voice that startled him, jumping up he ran over to the door at the other side of the main room, as he entered he saw Alice crying on the floor and Samantha with a pillow in her hand.
"*Whats going on?*" shouted Elliot... to which the over bearing screaming of two incomprehensive voices replied "It's her fault," trying to blame each other. "OK... Calm down," insisted the Ensign, "can you two never behave like normal kids, its 6:30 in the morning".
Alice got to her feet, "I hate you ,and I hate her," pointing at Samantha, then walked into the other room.
"So I guess you hate me as well" he said to Samantha...
"Yes," she replied as she bumped his arm also walking into the other room.
::Why did it have to happen to her?:: thought Elliot as he looked around the room of chaos and contemplated how much he missed his wife ::she would have fixed this in seconds,:: he thought.
=^= Ensign Thomas, are you awake? =^= came the voice of Captain Pellon Treb over the communicator.
"Yes, Captain. What can I do for you," replied the Elliot.
=^= We are approaching NEW ALEXANDRIA base and I need you and your family to report to transporter room 1 at 10:00. =^=
"Understood Captain, Thomas out".
Elliot looked at his two kids eating their breakfast, "Can you to pack all your stuff up by 09:30 so it is ready for shipping to storage at the NEW ALEXANDRIA until the new orders come through on where our next post will be".

"We are going to transport you to NEW ALEXANDRIA, Section D, Level 10 from there please can you report to Section A, Level 6 you will be met by Allyson who will process your arrival details, and give you further information at that point" said the transporter Ensign.

Elliot, Samantha and Alice appear in the transporter room on Level 10. Ensign Thomas walked over to a display screen, situated on the left wall as you approach the doorway. "Man look at the size of this place kids, it must be miles in size, how come I've never seen or heard of this place" said the Ensign.
"So what" came the reply in stereo from his kids.
"OK I see your really impressed, well lets go and find this Section A, Level 6, shall we" said Elliot to his children and set off to find his destination...
