Stardate: 2393.4.15

Kyle Winters had always been a good friend of Paul and Kero over the years. Now that Kyle was saved, their relationship was hindered but not lost. Kyle told us that Jonathan Sparks was a man not to be trusted. At first Kero thought Kyle was lying. To prove his point, Kyle pulled up a video copy of The Orion Telegram dated January 6, 2389. In the Video clip, Jonathan Sparks was shown handcuffed after his arrest for murdering his parents, and the attempted murder of his brother & sister.

The news woman stated, "Today is a great day for the Mesma people as Jonathan Sparks is arrested for murdering both of his parents-Frank and Laura Sparks, and his Brother Phil. Lisa is listed in critical-but-stable condition. (A family picture is shown along side of the reporter.) From the downtown courthouse, this is Lisa Hartman."

At first Kero thought he recognized Lisa from someplace, but just couldn't place it. He froze the video, and looked at the family photo. He doubled clicked on the photo, revealing the history of the Sparks family. Frank was a wealthy man who owned a multi-billion dollar construction company. Laura worked in the James Fulton Ministry.

Frank was recently awarded a $20 billion contract to build the planes for the Arion people, the so called "Peace Bridage." His company was promised that the Arion project was a dream come true.
