Naomi

  “Hello again.” Naomi opened the door to her house, letting the cat that was following her in.
2 hours had passed since the sun had set, and 4 days since Robin left to find his friend.
She sat down on the couch in the middle of the room, and her new friend joined her.
The cat reminded her somehow of Robin, coming and going, a mind of his own.
She didn’t mind though, she knew Robin loved her. 
He just had to go his own way sometimes, he was meant to be free.
Free to make his own choices, and to aid others, ever determined
That was also part of his charm: his spirit, his passion. Always driven to get the job done.
Naomi sighed. He would come back, and she was the reason why. That alone was the proof how much she meant for him: He would travel the entire galaxy to get back to her.
She smiled at the thought. The cat had made himself comfortable and was already asleep.
Just a drink, a quick view at the news and then off to bed. She turned on the holo-screen and walked to the kitchen. The normal news was interrupted:

“This is Senator Marcus Imir. I call all the Terran people with a message of urgence.
I’m sure most of you know that our relation with the Federation has weakened over the past few weeks, it even came to battle a few days ago. And after that we heard nothing.
We thought that our ships had been beaten by Federation forces, and...”

Marcus paused, his face troubled. Naomi came out of the kitchen. 
What was it? What was happening? She knew Marcus as a friend, and she knew when he was alarmed. 

“...we were right. Our ships were destroyed, but not by a Federation fleet. Since theirs was reported vanquished as well. It now seems that we face a new enemy, a seemingly unstoppable force. This new armada that has invaded this galaxy greatly outnumbers ours...”

The screen flickered. Naomi could make out the last things Marcus said.

“...they have (...) already been spotted near Ilia. Please (....) go to a safer haven...”

Marcus’ image was replaced by a blue screen, and his voice by a long tone.
The cup Naomi held fell to the ground. It shattered on impact and the cold fluid spread out on the floor. The cat got up and began drinking it. Naomi didn’t see, she didn’t hear, or felt. 
She could only think.

Robin...
