Too short.  I'm a little confused, though -- was Zara talking about adopting Lois as her sister? And what difference would that make to the Council? I guess if Lois is an official part of the House of Ra that makes her nobility, which gives her kids priority in succession. But I must have missed the part where they talked about it... I liked the rant about family and Thanksgiving, though. No matter how messed up your relatives are, they're still family, and if they need it, you need to help them. PJ

He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

Hi, Great part!  “Besides, it’ll be fun, annoying the council some more. We have to maintain the House of El’s well-deserved reputation of being troublemakers and rabble-rousers” Ching added. “The entertainment guild is still putting out their daily news service on the colony info-net, you know. The council can’t figure out where they’re uploading from.” Ching was grinning. “Of course, they do have some help.”
“I wasn’t sure the idea would take,” Clark admitted. “It was a tough concept to put across. The people’s right to know isn’t always well accepted even here. How do you want to make the public announcement?”
“I believe your newspaper is involved with an equivalent of out info-net?” Ching asked.

I'm confused as well. I thought they were talking about having the baby adopted by Zara and Ching, and then Zara makes that comment about calling Lois her sister . . . huh?
But I do like this part--not much going on, but it does explain a bunch (minus the confusing part).

Obviously I need to edit some of this section to clarify things.
I meant to say the situation with unnamed baby hadn't changed but the other problem of Lois & Clark's children not being in line of succession would be solved by the same mechanism which allowed Ching and Zara's children to be legitimate (adult adoption.)
