"Zach, it's good to see you. If you would, we need Noriye to come out here as well. Arman and I have something we need to discuss with you."

Zach: Oh? *nods* Alright. I'll see if she's awake.
*He walks into the bedroom, where his wife is lightly slumbering. Crawling over the edge of the bed, Zach rubs her arm to rouse her.*
Zach: Honey?
Noriye: Hmmm?....*opens her eyes, smiles* Oh...you're back.
Zach: Yeah, but I need you to get up. Amy's here with Arman and they need to talk to us.
Noriye: *still half asleep* Oh? What about?
Zach: I don't know. Sounds important though. Plus I have something to tell you too.
Noriye: *sighs* Alright...I'm getting up. Give me a few minutes.
*Zach nods and leaves the room.*
Zach: Alright, she's coming.

*Arman nods. He looks at his dad, noticing that he was a little...nervous or something. He wondered if it had something to do with the Kai and whatever assignmet she was sending him on. Letting his curiosity get the better of him, he decided to ask.*
Arman: So where are you going, Dad? Do you have to go back to Bajor?
Zach: No...a cargo ship was attacked in the Neutral Zone. They need me there to bless the wounded.

Looking up sharply, I say, "Are they going to need Starfleet protection? I can arrange for the transport."

*Zach nods thoughtfully.*
Zach: Might be a good idea. It's not confirmed yet, but you and I both know that the Romulans are behind this. I will have to leave within the hour.
*Noriye comes out of the bedroom just in time to hear this.*
Noriye: What?! You're leaving?
Zach: *nods* Afraid so...
Noriye: And you said Romulans, so I assume you're going to the Neutral Zone. Why would they need you there?!
Zach: Honey, a cargo ship was attacked. They're asking for the First Minister. I wouldn't go if I didn't have to.

I sit with Arman, waiting for his chance to speak. "And I'll speak with Nerys and see about getting some ships out to that Sector...maybe Joseph Kirk and the Enterprise."

Zach: *Nods* Thanks Amy.
*He pauses, then turns toward his son.*
Zach: Arman? You had something that you wanted to tell us?
*Arman looks down, not sure if he wants to speak.*

"Go ahead Arman....this will help I promise." I say gently, giving him an encouraging squeeze on the shoulder.

*Arman nods, takes a deep breath.*
"Mom, Dad...um...you know how I've been doing bad in school and I never seem to get any better? Well it's because I...I can't read."
*His parents look at him, puzzled. Arman seems ashamed.*

Reaching out I pat his shoulder. "It's nothing to be ashamed of Arman. As I've told you, I have the condition myself." I say, then turn to look at Noriye and Zach. "AFter listening Arman, and recognizing the symptoms for those I myself suffer, I believe Arman to be suffering from Dislexia. It's a neuralogical disorder that causes letters to switch places and entire words to turn backwards." I say, then look at Noriye and Zach.

"Oh...why didn't you tell us this before, Arman?"

Arman: *Shrugs* I don't know...I kept thinking that it might get better on it's own. That maybe I could figure out the tests and the stuff I had to read. But it didn't.
*Zach had quietly been listening to his son speak. Finally, he sits down next to him on the sofa.*
Zach: You know Arman, this isn't a big deal. Now that we know what's going on, your mother and I will be able to help you through this.

*walking over, putting a hand on Arman's shoulder.* "Of course! And you know that you can always talk to us about anything. We're your parents, Arman. We love you and want you to succeed."
