Closed Starter @riseofthemuses Muse(s): Ed Mercer, Claire Finn, Alara Kitan, Gordon Malloy Guest Starring: Hannah McCoy, Iris Chekov,  Angie McCoy, Ginger Kirk

The past few days have been nothing if not chaotic. Ed was glad to have his people back on a ship, even though it was older and unfamiliar and rescued off the planet’s surface thanks to Doug’s new friend with blue hair, but now it was time to get into, well, for a lack of a better term, hell.

They’d been shot down over Tarsus IV, a former penal colony that had been long thought abandoned, and a vast majority of the crew had been taken hostage by the inhabitants of the colony for horrific experiments, 

“All hands to ba-- what’s wrong, lieutenant?” His eyes dart to Iris at the helm. The small Russian seems... uncomfortable, or off, somehow. She turns around to face him better and he catches her breathing hard. “Miss Chekov?”

Sure, she’d married Eddie Kirk and taken her husband’s last name, hell he’d performed the service himself, but she’d told them upfront that they were more than welcome to continue to use her maiden name to address her-- it was hard enough keeping up with three Kirks as it was before the wedding.

“Sorry, keptin,” the accent comes out and he sits up, Iris usually keeps her accent buried to not have issues with computers, so this can’t be good, “I zhink you’ll need to get Liutenant Malloy at the helm. And-- and if eet’s not too much trouble,” she pauses to take a deep breath, “--can you can a medical team?”

Medical team? His eyes dart to her obvious pregnant stomach. “Oh, no.”

“Yes,” she confirms, “I zhink the twins are coming.”

Everyone launches into action, Kelly rushing to help Iris through the early process as numerous crew make calls to sickbay and Claire directly trying in a rush to explain the situation and get a medical team down. Ed’s almost taken aback seeing Isaac get up to aid Iris, taking her hand and allowing her to squeeze it as needed, but then remembers the incident some months prior when many of the crew had swapped bodies, Iris and Isaac had been caught in the mess by means unknown by even Lily, which honestly the entire thing had been that but that’s not the point, the point is that Isaac had gotten to understand the physical pain just carrying her twins had put Iris into. Okay. So that’s happening.

John calls Gordon to take over on the bridge ASAP, and he notices Angie’s eyes and motions for her to explain what’s on her mind.

She fingerspells simply, ‘E-D-D-I-E.’

“Oh shit, right, someone should call the father,” he remarks to himself, before moving to do exactly that himself. “Mercer to Eddie Kirk.”

On her way to her battle station, Ginger pauses and glances to her brother when she hears the captain comm him. “What’d you do?”

“Okay? Lily, I promise. I promise,” and it’s so hard for Sammy to reassure her friend of it. “Please, I need you to trust me. He didn’t mean it.”

Lily sniffles, wiping her tears. “You had better be right.”

“I am. I know I am. I need you to help me call some of the others. Usual chain, all right?”

“Yeah, okay. I’ll call Iris. Lily out.”

And when she clicks off, Sammy sighs and reaches out to the McCoys, relieved when someone picks up. “Sam, thank go-- you’re struggling to keep it together. Let me guess, Uncle Leo and Aunt Carol called.”

“I’ll be home soon,” he says with a soft sigh to answer his wife’s concerns. “One last block to cover for the night.”

“Madeline’s hoping to see you before she goes to bed,” Carol reminds him, and he nods.

Madeline needed them both during all of this. Had for the past... coming up on nine years. He respects it, he knows it. “I’ll be home in time. I promise. McCoy out.”

Closing the communicator, he rounds the corner, on his nightly rounds through the streets of San Francisco looking for Hannah. Nine years, and he never missed a single night. He still held out hope...

That’s not Hannah. The teenager that appears, stumbling out of an alley in confusion, gives Leonard pause. “What the hell are you doing out here this late, kid?” And on his own like that? It... reminds him of Rebecca, in a way.

Just a head's up 2.0 – This episode will likely be delayed due to the Masters.  While I thought that was going to be the last delay of season ten, it looks like there could be a delay in May due to the PGA Championship in lovely Bethpage, Long Island (pays to know stockbroker types who plan on attending the event).

KISS MAYHEM Three attacks by the US destroyers

KISS, US kings of heavy rock in heavy make-up, are at last to play three gigs in Britain next month.

Despite the transatlantic publicity they have so far made little impact on record here but their fourth UK album ‘Destroyer’ will be released on Casablanca to coincide.

The label also plan to back up the full frontal assault on the British market with giveaways at the concerts including arm bands and Kiss masks and a TV advertising campaign.

The dates are: Manchester Free Trade Hall May 13, Birmingham Odeon 14, Hammersmith Odeon 15. The band may use their own jet-liner on the tour.

‘UNOFFICIAL’ FLOYD A PINK FLOYD single taken from ‘Wish You Were Here’ is being released in this country in a special limited edition of 10,000.

It will be ‘Have A Cigar’ b/w ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ and comes through an exclusive distribution deal arranged by Lightning Records with the Dutch company who originally released it.

The last of the official Floyd singles released in the UK was ‘Point Me At The Sky’ and they have recently again vetoed any further single releases here, though they put them out in every other record buying country, because of what they regard as the lightweight pop image of the charts here.

ALVIN, FAIRPORT IN FOOTBALL FEST BANK HOLIDAY Monday is now set to be the biggest day ever in live rock in the UK – another huge football ground festival probably starring Alvin Lee has been announced, coinciding with the Who and Co. putting the boot in at Charlton (see opposite page).

The Southend Charity Festival Committee say that contracts are expected to be signed this week for a line-up starring Alvin and Friends, Budgie, and the debut of the new Fairport Convention.

Support acts planned are The Dave Bromberg Band, Magna Carta, the Mickey Jupp Band and Crossbreed with our very own John Peel compering.

Confirmation came from the business end Alvin and the Fairports that they were likely to do the gig though it was still being negotiated – neither band’s line-up has yet been announced.

The Festival is run for the benefit of Christian Aid relief and development projects in the third world.

It starts at 11 am and runs through to 9pm at Southend United Football Ground. Tickets are now on sale from the ground in Victoria Avenue at £2 though they will be £2.50 on the day. Postal applicants should send an SAE with cheques and postal orders made out to ‘Southend Sounds ’76.’

SOME OF THESE KNIGHTS GLADYS KNIGHT And The Pips will tour Britain later this month doing two shows a night in five venues, her last visit for some time as she is pregnant.

The dates are: Bournemouth Winter Gardens April 23, Manchester Palace 24, Southport New Theatre 25, London New Victoria 27, Birmingham Odeon 30.

They will be bringing their own rhythm section and the tour coincides with the UK release of their States hit ‘Midnight Train To Georgia’.

Gladys is also starring in a movie titled ‘Pipedreams’ due for release in Britain in the autumn.

STILL NO TUBES Tubes’ record company A&M say that they cannot tour the UK in May as their new album ‘Young and Rich’ (produced by Ken Scott who worked on the Supertramp albums) will be released then and they will be touring the States to promote it.

But they have been trying to arrange a London venue to do a possible week of shows later in the year as well as provincial dates and A&M said they were “virtually certain” to come to Britain in ’76.
