The girl was identified and the other going through Lazarus Reanimation is confirmed to be her sister, Talya Takul. After trying to find their origin of life, they found nothing of their home, nor their life style. It was as if they were undercover. Both of the survivors we diagnosed with Amnesia and neither of them knew where they came from either.
The Federation's Council of Knights begins to debate on what to do with them. Some suggestions are cruel. Others are humane, but they do not know what to agree over.
"Councilor Variks, we talked about this," One said. They are in their council room, talking with Admiral Silas and Recruitment Officer, Matthew Dawninghue.
"We still haven't decided whether or not we will do so!"
"Variks, we are not those kind of people. We are a peace keeping government, not a cult of satanic killers. We will not send her back on the planet we found her." Councilor Ferris explained. The council began to argue in a loud outburst. The only one not speaking was Strikor.
“Silence!” he shouted as the council quietly stopped arguing. "We are discussing the right situation here. We must find out what we need to do with both of them. From what we have, we know nothing about her. And she knows nothing of herself as well, she practically doesn't have a life. We can make her a vegetable and research her species, leave her to a peaceful planet with little war and politics, or keep her as a DNA example and make clones of her for service purposes. What is our decision?" The entire council looked at each other as Councilor Strikor gave his word. These were tough choices for the council. This was a living life form with a sentient mindset. What they do to the both of them will either mentally destroy them or offer a better life.
Admiral felt this was wrong. It was to inhumane. He began to think more peacefully on the matter.
"Why don't we recruit her, Councilors?" The council room turned their heads to him.
"What are you talking about, Silas?" Admiral clears his throat.
"Since the two know nothing of their past life nor they would ever yearn for their family if they have one"
"You mean own them?" Matthew said. "Like giving them home here in in our recruiting bases?"
"Even if you do mean such a thing, we would be going out of our rules! We need to know her skills, which we don't have! We are best giving her a new home." Council began to agree in a loud mirmir. Strikor silenced them again.
"Stop! You are both right." he said. "We do not know her past and we do not need the risks, but she does not know them either, and maybe it will be worth it." The council turned to the Admiral. "We trust in you, Admiral Silas. We are giving you the right to keep her in our grasp. Make sure she does not turn your back." Matthew put his hand over his shoulder and smiled at him. He whispered in his ear a compliment.
"You always seemed to be a good father."

Ashley was sitting next to her sister with her head resting on her shoulder. They were confused on where they were, but they somehow knew each other through the amnesia. Her sister seemed older than her, she was taller and looked to protect her. Their skin was the same color, no lighter, no darker, in a light purple shade. Her sister looked at Ashley's tail. The tip of it looked torn and beaten. When she saw hers, it was perfect. No curves, no scars, there was nothing wrong with it.
The air in the room came heavy, like as if it was something was wrong with the atmosphere. Talya felt it. She was worried. Ashley felt it as well. It felt like death to them. Not a feeling of the future, but more of a feeling of the past. They look to the door that exits the room as it quickly slid open. The Admiral came out of it.
"Sorry that you have to stay in this room in boredom," he said in a pleasant voice. "I see that you liked Jaelen, Ashley. And you haven't met her, Talya. Would you like to see her?" Jaelen started to peek out from the door. She seemed so shy. Talya spoke.
"We wouldn't mind meeting her." The Admiral began to gesture Jaelen on the room. Once she came out into the room, Ashley's head perked up. Their eyes met, but they quickly looked away.
"We were thinking..." the Admiral said. "We should let you join the federation."
"What is our choice? Join or die?" Talya said.
"We do not want to kill you, but the council is thinking of making you experiments to research your species, or they can clone you." Talya gasped. "Trust me, I do not want you have that happen to you, but I have no choice. So would you like to join the federation?" Talya shook her head in agreement as Jaelen brought her ukulele to play it for Ashley.
She played some Hawaiian songs her father showed her. Jaelan tried to play Over the Rainbow, but she couldn't get the strings right. Ashley's memories began to flood back in her head, her mother played it for her as a lullaby. Ashley asked for the Ukulele and began to play Over the Rainbow for her. She began to sing the song in a beautiful voice. The Admiral and Talya began to stare at Ashley playing the song. Talya shed a tear as she started to remember her mother.
