Wednesday, August 8, 2068, 9 p.m, Tracy Island (2 a.m., same day, Los Angeles)

"I hate the IDL," Emily Tracy was heard to say when she disembarked from Tracy Two. "You leave at one time on one day and end up back home at nearly the same time the next... or the previous day."

"Hi, Grandma," Alan said, smiling as he helped her out of the jet. "How was the flight?"

"It would have been noisy if we hadn't sedated them," Virgil said as he came out, a large hard-sided case in his hand.

"'Them'?" Gordon asked as he brought up the luggage float. "Who are 'they'?"

"The cats," John said with a sigh as he opened the luggage compartment. "One semi-feral, injured momma cat and four kittens." He pulled out, one by one, six 20 pound bags of cat litter. "We found them in what was left of the barn, and brought them home."

"And what did Dad say about this?" Alan asked, peering into the dark case.

"Nothing, really," Grandma told him. "He was too busy tending to Dianne to give me any lip."

"How's Mom?" Gordon asked as he pulled three new, automatic, self-cleaning litter boxes from the cargo hold. "We didn't get to see her long. Just a few minutes while we were transferring her from the hospital. She looked tired, and didn't talk much."

Grandma sighed. "Yes, she's still very tired, and talking is still painful. We saw her for about a half hour this evening, before we left." She shook her head. "I hope we can bring her home soon."

"Did you get to see the squirts?" Gordon asked. "How are they holding up?"

"I called before we left for Kansas," John said. "And paid a brief visit in the morning, when we got back to L.A." He shook his head, and closed the luggage compartment. "Cherie and Alex were getting antsy about seeing Mom, but Ty? I'm not sure. Something's wrong there, though he was pretty well-behaved. He didn't see the show; Grandma P. said he went to bed early."

"Good thing," Virgil said. "That footage of the tornado... gave me the shivers!" He, Emily, and John entered the elevator... with the cat case.

"Where you going to put those cats?" Alan asked, leaning on the handle of the antigravity float.

"My quarters for the moment," Grandma said. "Got to get momma cat used to living indoors." She smiled wearily at her grandsons. "Bring up the luggage for us, please, and bring the litter boxes to me so we can get things set up."

"Sure, Grandma." Gordon grinned. "See you in a few minutes."
