Capt Rian Kwai

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing Stardate 51204.30 Murder on the Republic, and too many suspects. What will be that one clue that will give those investigating the insight to close in on the guilty party or.....parties? While security, science and medical are investigating the scene, the leaders of the various factions are being questioned by the command staff.

LtCmdrRobinson -> +Ksec+ Go ahead and get a statement from my wife and then release her before she chews her way out of the cell.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::takes some notes:: KBear -> :: walks over to Jax cell:: Excuse me Cmdr Robinson, Im here to take your statement. August Jax Robinson -> it's about time!

August Jax Robinson -> Hold up... why am I in an interrogation room? STSF_BluRox -> Blu> Enough of this. I just want to know if any of you have anyone you might realistically suspect? Capt Rian Kwai -> Irving> How the heck do you know what our people want? You've been hold up with one of her people for how long now, hmmmm?? LtCmdrRobinson -> Okay. That's pretty much what I thought. Anything you care to add that might help me out in my investigation? KBear -> Just an out of the way area so we can talk maam. If It were anything else I would have you in cuffs and have another guard here to watch over you. Capt Rian Kwai -> Sorcha>::looks from the two men, then back to the Admiral, her eye brows raised as if to say "Do you really have to ask?":: LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Will:: Yes. Whoever used that spanner...they had to know where to jam it LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Will:: They had to know that it would shutdown power and the sensors in the room STSF_BluRox -> Capt Freckla> I'm sorry Captain, but I've already told you who I suspected. Son of the Primus or not. LtCdrJohnson -> :;to Will:: That is something only an engineer knows how to do...and as I recall hearing from Bryan, there are several among our guests LtCmdrRobinson -> OK, so possibly someone with an engineering background. August Jax Robinson -> I received a call telling Engineering of a power failure in the cargo bay and went with Dave Johnson to repair it LtCdrJohnson -> Correct sir Capt Rian Kwai -> Irving> I didn't do it! ::turns to Capt Freckla:: And I'm sure you're not blameless in this either. KBear -> So the lights were out when you arrived? STSF_BluRox -> Capt Freckla> :: turns to Irving:: All of our people that were with me, are just fine with our new companions. The same ones we told the Federation we were willing to make peace with. Or have you forgotten what your father promised? August Jax Robinson -> Yes, that is why I was called there. KBear -> Did you notice anything strange other than the lights when you arrived? any strange noises or smells? STSF_BluRox -> Blu> This is getting us nowhere..... August Jax Robinson -> there was a smell of burnt wires LtCmdrRobinson -> Ok, well I am going to cut you loose for now. You can return to duty. Just stay clear of cargo bay 1 for now. KBear -> Was there anything else odd?? August Jax Robinson -> So I took out my palm light, since the lights were out. and found the power box that was damage Capt Rian Kwai -> Irving> Don't you *dare* ::pounds his fist against the table:: bring my father into this. And they're a bunch of backstabbing lowlife thieves. Mark my words, you side with them, you'll end up resenting it the rest of your life. LtCdrJohnson -> ::nods:: Aye sir LtCdrJohnson -> Thank you Capt Rian Kwai -> Kwai>::Observing the group, finding it rather interesting in fact:: STSF_BluRox -> Blu> So we're going to have to keep you all separated then? This is ridiculous.... Didn't we prove to you all that neither of your people had attacked each other, that it was the pulsar that made you all crash? KBear -> Did you see anything else with your light before you found the damage? LtCdrJohnson -> ::heads out of Will's office:: LtCmdrRobinson -> +Science+ Anyone awake up there still? August Jax Robinson -> no, I found a spanner in the power box and removed it KBear -> Did anyone approach you while you were working on the power box? LtCdrJohnson -> ::heads into a lift:: Capt Rian Kwai -> Sorcha> The pulsar may have caused our crashes, but that does not explain their behavior once on the planet. ::points to Irving:: STSF_BluRox -> Capt Freckla> ::sat back and started to chew on a toothpick:: Mind your temper there Irving.... August Jax Robinson -> no security had cleared the area. then Will showed up and started making a ruckus LtCdrJohnson -> Deck 3 LtCdrJohnson -> ::rubs his eyes:: KBear -> You never saw the injured man?

August Jax Robinson -> yes, for the record: My husband is a jerk KBear -> Im sorry I have no control over that August Jax Robinson -> but I do, may I leave? STSF_BluRox -> Blu> ENOUGH! That is quite enough out of all of you....... August Jax Robinson -> ::Stands not waiting for an answer:: KBear -> OK Ma’am I think I have all that I need, You are free end up coming back to go but please do not take you being in the brig out on your husband. I wouldn’t want to see you STSF_BluRox -> Blu> We'll just have to keep you all separated for now, and question you all separately LtCmdrRobinson -> ::heads for Rec room 2 to scan some refugees:: KBear -> OK Ma’am I think I have all that I need, You are free to go but please do not take you being in the brig out on your husband.

LtCmdrRobinson -> +KSec+ Outstanding. STSF_BluRox -> Blu> You will believe it. I have a dead man in my cargo bay, from a rescue mission...... KBear -> +Will+ at least I’m giving you fair warning August Jax Robinson -> ::hurries down the hall:: STSF_BluRox -> Blu> And that is unacceptable. And the fact that someone has done this here on a Federation ship, makes this a Federation crime, not a Haigen nor Gothik crime... August Jax Robinson -> ::Enters the rec room:: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::spots the angry wife®:: KBear -> ::decides to go to make sure Will doesn’t need any help:: August Jax Robinson -> ::Is happy the room is empty, grabs him:: KBear -> :: walks down the corridor and towards the rec rooms:: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::room isn’t empty, has lots of refugees in it:: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::but is grabbed anyway:: August Jax Robinson -> ::Pulls him closer and kisses him:: LtCdrJohnson -> Computer, get me a secure channel to the USS Rhode Island Ayumu Kasuga -> (The Kiss of Death!)

STSF_BluRox -> Before we send this sorry lot back down to storage until we can return them to their home worlds...which will be 'AFTER' we determine who the guilty party is LtCmdrRobinson -> ::hands KSec a tricorder:: I need DNA scans of all the refugees we took on. Look for both their DNA and any blood from the victim. Capt Rian Kwai -> I find it interesting that...::starts to circling the table:: that everyone is so willing to deflect the blame on to someone else instead of being interested in who actually killed the gentleman. ::raises a brow:: I take it he was not well liked? KBear -> DNA scans from everyone of them? STSF_BluRox -> Capt Freckla> Well......not really. KBear -> blood on the refugees? or blood where the man was killed August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks at KBear:: if you need help have Dave give you a hand Capt Rian Kwai -> Irving>Like I said before, he was an idiot. STSF_BluRox -> Capt Freckla> He'd be too forward with the women, then get upset when they turned him down STSF_BluRox -> Capt Freckla> And .....he was well known to be Irving's STSF_BluRox -> ''stooge' LtCmdrRobinson -> Dave cannot assist in the investigation.

LtCmdrRobinson -> (refugees are in the rec room, turn around! ;) ) KBear -> (oops OK)) STSF_BluRox -> (Haigen were in the Rec room. Gothik in Cargobay 2) LtCmdrRobinson -> You cant be in there. You'll taint the investigation. LtCmdrRobinson -> (the people who were in CB1 when the murder took place were moved to Rec Room 2) STSF_BluRox -> (make that, the gothik that were with the haigen group on fuegen are in the rec lounge) August Jax Robinson -> you knew I was heading there!

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing: Stardate 61204.23 Confusion!! Murder!! Who could have done such a thing aboard the Republic! In the one corner, the Haigen and Gothik refugees which had been living together on Fuegen, and in the other corner, 2 separate groups of refugees, one Haigen and one from Gothik which do not get along what so ever that had both been stranded upon Stalagg. Earlier in the day, a confrontation took place between the leaders of the two Haigen groups, and we have to determine what has happened and why. More importantly, we need to find out prior to our scheduled rendezvous with the leaders of both Gothik and Haigen, with whom we were planning to meet per our orders to solve a minor dispute between these two fairly new Federation members.

We may have an issue with security moving our guests out of the cargobay after I told them not to. I'll be looking into that shortly.

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing: Stardate 51204.16 The Republic, hoping to mend the hostilities between two of the newer members of the Federation, are taking back the rescued survivors of several doomed missions that crashed on the twin planets circling the Thaddius Pulsar. The two planets, Haigen and Gothik had been blaming each other for the missing ships and research teams. However, there has been even interplanetary friction even on the Republic between several members of not only each planet faction, but fighting with each other (ie: Haigen vs Haigen).

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing: Stardate 51204.09 The Republic is back underway to help provide a diplomatic solution to the hostilities that have arisen with regards to two of the Federation's newest members, Haigen and Gothik. As our recent scientific mission while on the way toward those two worlds, gave us the good fortune to rescue missing explorers from both worlds, it is our estimation that their return may be a simple solution to the problem. Initial reports indicated that both worlds were blaming the other for attacking and destroying their ships, while exploring the area around the star Thaddius. It is our belief that the pulsar's interruption of their ship's functions and no fighting at all are the real cause of this dilemma. Hopefully, the return of their crewmen, and their own words will once again allow these two worlds to peacefully engage in trade and cultural exchange again. That, or face Federation sanctions......

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing Stardate 51204.02 Teams from Science and Engineering work to eliminate the static charges that had been absorbed by the away team members and those refugees which had been stranded on the two planetoids circling the pulsar Thaddius. Security is in the process of separating the newest bunch of refugees from Stalagg, as the two groups (Haigen and Gothik's) obviously do not get along with each other. This in itself is strange, as the refugees from the first planetoid, Fuegen have been getting along just fine and several seem to have formed attachments with each other. As we had been sent to try and broker peace talks between these two newer Federation members, who recently began fighting over the loses of their ships and crews, blaming each other, it is our hope that returning these refugees will end this fighting, and peaceful trade will once again flourish in the region.

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing Stardate 51203.26 The Republic has beamed up the parties of survivors that had been stranded upon the planet Stalagg in the Thaddius system, and a brawl has broken out in the transporter room. The brawl has become exacerbated by members of security which had been rescued from the planet Fuegen entering the room and static discharges zapping everyone. Those that had been returned from Fuegen have a heavy positive electrical charge to their cells, while those that had been on Stalagg are highly negative. Tisa is the only one that was barely affected as she had changed into rubber soled medical shoes. To stop what was happening, Bardolph decided to try stunning those around him, while Will decided to try to beam some of the others to another location. Engineering and science have been called by the Admiral to come up with a solution to this charge issue, so that we may get underway to return these people to their own planets and hope to avert a war between the two factions.

USS Republic Mission Briefing Stardate 51203.12 The USS Republic, upon recommendation of the CSci, Lt Knight, concurrence with both the CO and XO, have pulled the ship out of the Thaddius Star System. Indications showed that the star a small, but weak pulsar emitting pulses only approximately once every 6 months standard galactic time, was about to do just that. Lt. Commander Robinson's away team had found a group of survivors from various ship malfunctions caused due to this pulsar, and indications that these missing ships from Gothik and Haigen went down when the pulse from the star disrupted their power sources. Although we still have a team down on the small planet Stalagg, it was felt that we could not chance the ship to try to retrieve the team at this time. It is hoped that they will take shelter from the extreme storms that had been building, and that we will be able to retrieve them shortly.

STSF_BluRox -> : 05Mar2012 Mission Briefing: Will’s away team has been rescued, as have the Haigen and Gothik crew members that survived their ships crashing upon that planet. Science has been checking into the strange readings coming from the star Thaddius, and have determined that it is a slow pulse pulsar, emitting a pulse only once approximately every 6 months. However, it is believed that this is the cause of the EMP which has affected the planets and local space. Readings indicate that the next pulse is due to occur within hours, and we are not sure we have time to try to extricate the August’s team from the planet Stalagg. Hopefully, if we determine that it is unsafe to try, and expose the entire ship full of people to possibly crashing to their deaths on the planets below, then we will have to rationalize that we must leave the system, and hope those on the planet will be able to find some sort of shelter of protection to see them through.

STSF_BluRox -> Mission Briefing: After receiving the brief transmission from Lt. Knight and Will’s Away Team, the Republic decided to use the new head science officer’s suggestion that some sort of disruption was needed. Thinking of what was the most disruptive thing on the Republic, Blu and Kwai settled upon a Will type of rescue, which involved firing a large spread of torpedoes into the atmosphere. This was hoped to cause enough of a disruption to the atmospheric charge, to allow the ship to beam the crew back. After 3 attempts, Will’s team, and the Gothik and Haigen refuges on the planet named Fuegen were rescued. Meanwhile on Stalagg, Jax’s team has encountered yet another group of refugees, who’s intentions are yet to be seen.

Capt Rian Kwai -> I've contacted SFHQ for advisement about the situation. They're going to send over a team to reverse engineer the whole complex while we move on to our own assignment. LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Kwai:: They want to reverse engineer a weapon of mass destruction?...you know Will just suggested that we should have a portable one for "emergencies." When did Starfleet's mission start involving weapons like this? Capt Rian Kwai -> Not so much for a weapon, but for study. As this is a very ancient weapon and interesting mechanism. LtCdrJohnson ::to Rian:: I'd love the chance to study something like that...guess my friends at the Starfleet Corp of Engineers will have to have the fun. We didn't have any portable force field generators on the shuttle...I suggest launching two force field buoys on either side and creating a bubble Blu> History of mutual deterrence…..wait, but you’re saying the same thing…..wanting to study it, and you being Star Fleet and all… why do you want to play with a bomb? Boy’s and their toys! ::high-fives Johnson:: Same brain wave, yes! Capt Rian Kwai -> Make a copy for study here, we'll turn the orginal over to Dr Wil---err...Dr Foley. I trust her....I'm not sure I can trust a guy with girl's first name. Blu> Oh so judgemental!! Hey, if this guy was named Marion and looked like John Wayne, I'd be signing a different song. But Deb? And a Science geek. Would you trust him?

Here's out chat log folks. Enjoy!

Rian Kwai’s shoreleave would be considered uneventful to most StarFleet officers. Or maybe even boring. But the Trill didn’t care. She was looking forward to a little dull. A little quiet. A little boring. Her host, Cdr Gail Ranau, had a farm darn near the center of the North American continent outside the small city of St. Louis, sitting on the banks of the Meramec river. While Gail told Rian it was a ‘small’ farm, the Trill had no concept of geographical layout on a planet and difficulty keeping track of which orchard or field belonged to what farm and often got lost as a result. It was a nice sort of lost. A wandering sort of lost that Rian enjoyed. In fact there was a lot that Rian had started to enjoy. She slept in late, a surprise in itself considering her propensity for insomniac behavior. Her host’s relatives tried to stuff her full of food, making her look a little less gaunt and sickly. With help, she figured out how to doctor the horrid tea she’d been drinking for weeks so it didn’t smell so bad. She also did what she wanted, read what she wanted, walked where she wanted, and napped where she wanted. The only bit of excitement to her days was the periodic trips she took in Gail’s flyer to either Star Fleet Headquarters so Gail could teach class or to the marine base to pick up or drop off Gail’s sister, Gunnery Sergeant Genna Dailey. And oh, how she loved that flyer. She just wished the girls would let her fly it every now and then. It was on one of these trips that Rian had her most interesting encounters and engaged in one of her most reckless acts. She’d just dropped Genna off and two hours to kill before her lunch appointment at the JAG offices. Following Gail’s advice, Rian had chosen casual civilian clothing so she could wander San Francisco as a tourist without drawing attention to her Captain’s uniform. With official digs stored in a bag in the cargo hatch, Rian felt oddly plain, normal, and unremarkable. Add the bright sun, clear air, and bustling city that Rian’d never explored before, the Trill couldn’t figure out what to do with herself first. That was until she heard a man’s voice behind her. “Heeeeelllllloooo, Beautiful!” Rian startled, hearing the male voice. She turned around to see who would have been so bold (or obnoxious). She had to crane her neck over the top of the vehicle before she spied a spot of a Marine’s uniform and the top of the man’s dark haired head on the opposite side of the vehicle, bent over and examining it carefully. Listening carefully, she could hear the man slide his hand across the curves of the Gail’s flyer. Rian deduced that the comment hadn’t been meant for her but for the Screaming Eagle that Rian was leaning against. Kwai propped her elbow upon the top of the vehicle and waited patiently for the man to trace the lines of the flyer all the way around to her side of the vehicle and perhaps notice she was standing there. It took a bit, as he was rather engrossed in the vintage vehicle, but when he did look up, he startled just as she had when she’d first heard his voice. “Hello, yourself.” Rian smirked. “Ah, sorry.” He straightened quickly and Rian got a good look at him then. Dark hair, blue eyes, roughly 2 meters tall, muscled form in a Marine uniform. Physically, he had the look of a thick-headed athlete, but his insignia indicated a major’s rank so the man likely had to have some smarts about him. “You two want to be alone?” The human looked a bit embarrassed, but hid it well with a charming grin. He lifted his hand from the flyer, but not before giving it a pat. “Screaming Eagle, S-Class, yes?” “Aye, so I’ve been told.” Rian straightened up from her own lounging position against the flyer. Gail would have killed her if she dinged the paint. “Yours?” “A friend’s.” Kwai watched him as he started tracing the vehicle’s lines again, this time with his eyes. “Love to meet your friend.” He rolled his tongue against the inside of his cheek. “You talking about the owner or the vehicle itself?” She teased. “Because if you’re talking about the owner, I think her husband would object to your tone of voice right now. And if you’re talking about the vehicle…well Gail’d be crowing about all the attention you’re giving it.” “You’re funny.” He smirked, the motioned to the driver’s compartment. “Could I?” Rian hesitated, then opened the driver’s side hatch. “Go ahead.” He smiled, brushed passed her and sat down inside the compartment, where more studying, caressing and content sighing could be heard. Rian shook her head and circled around to the passenger side hatch and slipped into the compartment herself. “Always wanted one of these.” He ran his hands over the steering yoke. “She’s a dream,” Rian commented, watching the major. “That she is.” The major sighed softly. “Always wanted one of these as a kid.” He paused. “Hell, always wanted one of these as an adult.” He then proceeded to tell her all about the attributes of the Screaming Eagle, all details that Gail had shared with Rian years ago yet never grew tired of replaying every chance Ranau got. He was so engaged in the details after ten minutes that he failed to notice that Rian was dangling the ignition access fob within his reach as an invitation to take the wheel. When he’d realized he’d been rambling on, he glanced over at the Trill to see if he’d bored her to sleep and eyed the fob with start. “Ma’am, you don’t know me. I could be an axe-murderer.” “Are you an ax-murderer?” “No.” “Then that’s all I need to know.” She tossed him the key. “Well, I don’t know you. How do I know you didn’t steel this baby and are now trying to make me your accomplice?” He smirked. “Do I look like I’m a thief?” He studied her with a grin on his face. “No, ma’am. You sure don’t.” “Rian.” She held out the hand she thought that humans shook as part of a greeting. His grin widened as he took her hand. “Jamie.” “Well, Jamie, I’ve got two hours to kill before my appointment.” Rian closed the passenger side hatch before telling the first lie. “And I have this lovely borrowed vehicle of which I have no idea what it can and can’t do, nor do I know where it’s safe to test its prowess in the sky.” The former nav-com now ship’s executive officer lied. “You seemed to be enamored with the vehicle and I’d love to see what she can do. If you’ve got the time, I’ve got the flyer.” She glanced up at him expectantly. “You won’t get in trouble with your friend?” “I won’t tell if you won’t tell.” She grinned, then motioned to the driver’s yoke. “Well?” The answer came with the slamming of the driver’s side hatch and the roar of the Screaming Eagle’s engine. A little over 90 minutes later, Jamie masterfully parked Gail’s vehicle back on the landing pad. She thanked him for the instruction and he, for the opportunity to fly, handing the ignition fob back to the Trill. As he opened the hatch and climbed out, Rian looked over his shoulder to see a tall brunette human woman standing there. Genna Dailey was apparently early for her lunch date with Kwai. “Major!” she snapped to attention. “Sorry, I didn’t know. I thought—I was looking for the Captain.“ “At ease, Gunny.” Jamie then poked his head back into the compartment as Rian started to open her side of the vehicle. “Captain?” “Major, hmm?” Rian shrugged nonchalantly at him, then climbed out of her side of the vehicle. She grinned as she stood up to see him shaking his head at her across the vehicles roof. “Thanks, Rian.” “No, thank you, Jamie.” She drummed on the roof of the vehicle before waving at him. As soon as he turned and walked off, Genna relaxed again, turn to give Rian a critical examination. “Captain Rian Kwai, what have you been up to?” She watched Jamie turn his head slightly over his shoulder at Genna’s exclamation, probably cataloging her rank again. She tried not to laugh. “Just out sightseeing, like Gaily told me to.” “And did she also say you should pick up strangers to fly her baby?” Genna was trying not to laugh. “I’m not going to tell if you’re not going to tell.” Rian teased. “Sure.” Genna smirked, holding out her hand. “If I get to fly her home.” “Oh, bother.” Rian handed over the ignition fob, foiled yet again in her own ability to fly the darn thing home.

Briefing Captain Rian Kwai & Admiral BluRox, USS Republic “Bridge, open a secure channel from the Ready Room to Admiral BluRox on Republic, please.” Captain Rian Kwai sat back in the chair as she waited for confirmation that the communication channel was open and that Blu was available. The brief time afforded to her while this was being set up allowed the Trill to mull over exactly how she was going to brief her Admiral on what was going on. There was a lot of information both to convey and to still sort out. She just hoped Blu had the patience to deal with it all. What Rian didn’t know was that Blu had been pacing back and forth in her ready room ever since her abbreviated comm regarding Romulan prisoners aboard Excalibur. Hearing the private communications channel activate, she quickly took a seat at her desk and keyed the button to open the channel. When the computer chimed its readiness, Kwai sat up and positioned herself in front of the revolving UPC signal as she waited for Blu to complete the transmission connection. As soon as she saw Blu’s pinned back ears, Rian felt her stomach twist. She knew the Admiral was at her wits end, and now she would add more fuel to the fire. It was days like this that she’d suggest anger management classes for the Admiral - if she wasn’t so protective of her own hide. “Admiral,” she said, nodding. “First off, I want you to know that everything over here seems to be safe, sound and quiet. The Excalibur crew has been cooperative, even welcoming to our crew members. And aside for a few very minor dust-ups that I think had more to do with the Excalibur crew’s frustration than anything, we’ve had smooth sailing so far. I did place a restriction on the Excalibur crew that if they are not on duty, they are confined to quarters. If things continue as they are, and if LtCdr Robinson agrees, I’ll loosen the restriction while we’re en-route to Earth.” Still waiting for the other shoe to drop, Blu only responded with a curt, “Continue.” “I do, however, need to brief you on a few things that we’ve encountered since our arrival.” “Such as?” Blu said almost with a bit of a challenge to her voice. Rian took a deep breath,. “I’m not entirely sure where to start first, so I’m just going to dive right in and we’ll muddle through together, yes?” She offered a tight smile, trying to show that she was calm and on top of the situation. She had every intention of trying to relieve some of the obvious aggravation that the Admiral was feeling. “Well, first, on a lighter note, we’ve secured the cloaking device. You should see it, Blu: One of the security folks send me a holo of it a bit ago - it’s encased in a glittery bubble gum pink box in Engineering.” Rian chuckled. “I’m told it was their Chief Engineer’s idea. Some sort of warped sense of humor about the situation. Jax would love it. Heck, if we were ever to put Jax and Mr. Admiran in a room together, I think they’d give Starfleet a run for their money.” The smile now was genuine, though she still sought to lighten the mood. “Well, yes. About that....Jax requested to go have a look at their engineering department about 20 minutes ago, and I believe she beamed right to their engineering department, to make sure all was in order for the ride home.” Errrika shook her head, a headache already starting to flare. “You might want to check in with her, to make sure she doesn’t short something out.” Kwai simply shook her head and scribbled on the PADD in front of her before continuing on. “On a more serious note, they do have some prisoners being held down in their brig that we’ll need to sort out. I’ve been told they are part of the weapons smuggling ring. The weapons they found in their possession are also in the cargo hold. Four humans and four Romulans.” Rian then frowned. “There was a fifth Romulan. I’m told that he had died prior to our arrival. Possible suicide. I have Bardolph confirming that right now with our people and the Excalibur’s crew. I’ll let you know what I hear back from him.” “Rian, please, do NOT, do NOT tell me, that we have a dead Romulan! You seriously are NOT telling me that they had a Romulan prisoner, and their security staff let him commit suicide?” Rian paused to collect herself and continue more diplomatically. “I don’t think they let him do anything -- it just happened. But if t’Mirok catches wind of this before we get all our facts straight, she’ll be pretty upset. The B-team crew has been gossiping pretty heavily about her and about the crew here. I can’t stop it; everyone is pretty excitable at the moment. Even Wydown found out t’Mirok was aboard before I even got a chance to say anything. So if Excalibur knows she’s around, chances are it won’t be long before she hears rumors that Excal has Romulans on board as well.” “Oh Bloody Blue Blazes!! That must have been what prompted the damned woman’s outburst on the bridge a moment ago?” Errrika went to dig her claws into the desk, only finding the smooth polished obsidian of the new desktop, leaving her claws to just click on the rock as they made contact. “Blast!” “What outburst?” Rian asked. “The Romulan, when I returned to the bridge a few moments ago, confronted me about the cloaking device and what I was planning on doing with it. When I told her it would be handled, she called me a liar to my face. All because I was ‘hiding’ things from her. Now we just need to organize who told her what? And how we’re going to break this down into manageable portions?” “Before things get too far out of hand, I think I might have a way to salvage the situation,” Rian motioned to the screen. “Bear with me here; this might be a long explanation. Apparently in their exploits the Excalibur managed picked up a Starfleet Intelligence officer, Lt Adam Pierson, in distress. Before you even ask, yes I did verify his identity as an operative, he’s legit. He’s been conducting a covert op in Romulan space for a while now and was able to obtain information that does corroborate the Excalibur’s claims that there are weapons being smuggled into the Gamma quadrant.” “How many damned crews and operatives do we have over here in Romulan space? Oh for blazes sake!” Blu sighed heavily. “Continue, because if this was the good news, I’m not sure I want the bad news.” “He’s willing to share his information with t’Mirok and he thinks he can soften the blow of the Romulan’s death. I’d like to give him the chance. We’ll need to set up a secure channel to do this, I don’t want this broadcast over subspace for every Tom, Dick, and Harry to hear. Think we can arrange that?” “I don’t see why not, but I believe we’re going to have to have this performed out here, in the middle of the nowhere,” Blu answered. “There’s another issue with this operative though that you should be aware of. Adam says he has completed his mission and doesn’t wish to be returned to Romulan space at this time. And I’m afraid that, in order to preserve his cover, he would be forced to return with her to Romulus. Discussing the death of the Romulan prisoner with her, as well as the intelligence, however, would probably make it clear he’s not what he appears to be. To complicate it further, apparently the crew here has been trying to figure out the man’s identity and have put him in a hostile situation. Commander Wydown feels that Adam would continue to be a disruption for the crew and in danger to both himself and the crew if he continues in his current guise.” “Ok, so you’re saying we have a Romulan, on a Federation ship, that isn’t really a Romulan, who doesn’t want your real Romulans, or our real Romulan, to know he’s not a real Romulan. Probably because they’d spot him before he could get his ‘Jolan’ out of his ‘tru’. And to be clear, he definitely doesn’t want to go back to Romulus, where everyone might realize he’s a fake, and take turns watching him watching us watching him.” “Blu, if he weren’t convincing after twenty years of experience, he’d be dead already.” Rian smirked, trying to keep in mind that Blu's aggravation wasn't stemming so much with Mr Pierson, but the situation as a whole. She paused a moment then continued with the bad news. “You might not like my decision, but this was the best option presented to me and one that I’m inclined to think will work. Commander Wydown is going to oversee the removal of the Romulan guise from the operative and then we’re going to blend him in with the Republic security team here. This way, t’Mirok can not insist that he travel back with the riffraff to Romulus and Excalibur crew won’t be head-hunting for the Intel Operative. As Commander Wydown pointed out, the Excalibur would notice another name on their roster, but most likely wouldn’t notice another one of our crew members ambling about. Especially with all the beaming in and beaming out we’ve been doing lately.” “It might work,” Blu said. Her voice indicated her hesitation but, in this case, she would defer to her exec. “I’ll be briefing LtCdr Robinson about the situation shortly so he can also keep an eye on things. We’re trying to keep this between the two of us” -- she motioned to Blu and herself, then started ticking off names -- “Robinson, Wydown, Matsumura and Pierson. It might be good for you or I to be present when t’Mirok and Adam talk instead of some random security officer so that we can contain the issue. And we’ve made the stipulation to Mr Pierson that he is to remain aboard Excalibur and not transfer with any of the Republic team. The only exception that I can think of to this ‘rule’ would be if you think it would bet better for Adam to speak to t’Mirok in person?” “I’m not so certain that the Romulan woman is too impressed by me anymore, having just called me a liar to my face. Were she not who she was, and had I not already told the crew that they had to treat her with kid gloves, I can not challenge her myself. However, I have lost a lot of the respect I had attributed to her for her restraint. Of all people to accuse me of lying to them?” Blu growled. “Blu, you have to realize that if she’s heard rumors all ready, and she doesn’t feel like she’s getting a straight answer, I’m not surprised she snapped -- especially with all the stupid comments our own crew has made. More surprised that it took her this long to do so. And if you were in this mood when the two of you met...well...I can only imagine what that looked like. In a lot of ways, the two of you are a lot alike.” It was the closest Rian would come to telling Blu her temper was a bit out of control. She couldn’t blame the Admiral for being hopping mad about the whole ordeal, but jumping down a diplomatic envoy’s throat was only going to make the situation worse. “I’ll sit in on the meeting with t’Mirok and Pierson. I just don’t know where yet to do it. I’ll get back with you.” She paused. “And yes, I know what you’re thinking, this sounds like a crazy plan. Cdr Wydown came up with it. I still think the woman is a few dilithium crystals short of a warp core, but she is actually a very creative woman. Very little impulse control, but a smart woman.” Rian paused, furrowing her brow. “Can I give you my impression of the situation?” Blu was steaming that her own Executive Officer was defending the Romulan woman’s position. “Fine,” she answered curtly. “I don’t necessarily think these are bad people. I think they and their Captain made a colossal mistake in going about the problem the way he did, and the crew was along for the ride. I’m not defending their actions - wrong is wrong - but their intentions were good. They’re going to take a lot of heat for this. I’m just saying, well, I think I feel sorry for them. There’s a part of me that sympathizes with them right now.” “Colossal mistake! Ha! That’s the understatement of the millennium.” Kwai sighed heavily, “I have to go, Blu. I’ve got a few more loose ends to tie up before I meet with Will and Adam. I’ll comm back after I get done with them. Tell Holly to behave, please. I want my seat back when this is all done.” Rian waved at the screen and then leaned heavily back in the chair. Oh, she was so craving a flying waffle right about now...

Damage Control Captain Rian Kwai, USS Repubic Commander Ruth Wydown, USS Excalibur Gauis tr'Argelian, Starfleet Intellengence Lieutenant (j.g.) Charlotte Matsumura, USS Excalibur If anything made Rian miss the flying waffle (Republic-D) more than ever, sitting in the Captain’s ready room on Excalibur did it. She’d just gotten used to the Republic-E’s quirks. Now she found herself here, on this Akira class starship, trying to figure out what was where. She was flattered that Rear Admiral BluRox had entrusted command of the Excalibur to her on their return trip to Earth. But she would have much preferred to be in her own bed. Captain Kwai glanced up as Commander Wydown flitted around the room, collecting a chair to sit directly beside the “Romulan” introduced as Gauis tr'Argelian. Of all the humans Rian had dealt with in her lifetime, Wydown was by far the weirdest one. Certainly the weight of an impending military tribunal would make anyone anxious, nervous, angry, or scared. Not Wydown. When told, Rue merely shrugged it off and continued on her merry way. Of course, Rian had also been told she’d shrugged off a concussion and laceration to the back of the head as if it’d been a light tap. Was this woman’s brain wired correctly? “Why is every where I go lately, I keep running into Romulans?” She muttered to herself as she took her own seat behind the desk in Captain Corizon’s chair. “Whot? You have a pet Romulan too?” Rue asked, folding her arms across her chest. Rian looked up sharply and shot Wydown with a piercing dark glare. Rue again shrugged it off. “I heard ye been keepin’ one aboard for diplomacy sake. Heard one of your boys” -- she yanked a thumb back towards to the bridge as she referred to the Republic security teams stationed through out the ship -- “talking about her. Sounded like she was easy on the easy and had wicked good right cross.” Rue flashed another grin. Great, just what she needed, another ship full of Romulan-panicked crewman. Rian sucked air through her teeth before talking slowly, deliberately. “Arrain t’Mirok is a respected guest of our ship. And while we intend to keep t’Mirok aboard the Republic, if she were to encounter any members of your crew, I would expect that you will convey to your crew that she is to be respected. If I catch word that any one member of this crew treats her with anything less than the full respect and honor, they will be spending quality time with your Captain in the brig, is that understood?” “Aye, ma’am.” Rue nodded solemnly. “Of course. And I’d expect the same of our wee guests here.” She nodded towards Gauis who seemed to be watching the two women intently. Rian glanced up at the Excalibur Security officer guarding the door. “Lieutenant, you can be excused.” “Wait,” Rue spoke up, a finger in the air. “I’d like to have Matsumura stay, if you don’t mind. She’s been acting as tr'Argelian’s escort and probably knows as much about the situation as I do.” Wydown gave Charlotte a meaningful glance, then turned back to favor Kwai with a toned-down version of her usual grin. Rian studied the three officers before her carefully before weighing her decision. “Very well, you may stay, Lieutenant.” She then directed her gaze to the “Romulan.” “So, the beginning please…” She nodded for Gaius to being his explanation of what was going on. tr’Argelian settled into his chair, idly wishing he had a beer. “It may be hard to see now, but I’ve been working field operations for almost twenty years now. A majority of that time has been spent as you see me now -- under the brow and fringe of what you might call a Romulan privateer: I freelance, supporting Tal’Shiar, Galae, the Senate -- wherever my services -- in this personna -- were needed. “When it became clear to our assets in the Gamma Quadrant that Romulan weapons were being illegally transported through the sector, popping up in areas that we already consider powder kegs,” Gaius continued, “I was dispatched to see what I could unearth.” “To make a long story short, I was able to obtain some choice information and make for Federation space. Unfortunately, my ride -- the derelict currently sitting cargo -- had been left a little too long, and wasn’t up to the task.” He sighed. “I was left drifting. Excalibur happened to be the closest Federation ship. I sent up a flare and was very reluctantly rescued.” The Trill leaned forward, her elbows resting on the smooth desk surface before her. “Two questions for you. First, was your rescue in conjunction with the Excalibur’s jaunt into the Neutral Zone or was it a side excursion while they were all ready out and about?” She glanced to Wydown to see if the Commander would react to the accusation. When the woman did not react, she turned back to the man before her. “And second, has the information you’ve brought back been vetted or verified in any way?” Gaius pursed his lips momentarily, considering her questions. “First, let’s just say I was very lucky they came along when they did,” he replied. “As to the second, the information was obtained from a very reliable source -- for very appropriate reasons. The chief engineer was able to verify the information to Captain Corizon’s very exacting, paranoid standards.” Kwai paused, considering for a moment before speaking again. “We have a member of the Romulan Miltary onboard our ship, as I mentioned earlier. I’d like to provide her a copy of the material for outside verification, as well as for diplomatic reasons. Considering this investigation is a joint venture between our two governments, I don’t anticipate any issue with that?” “Given the...limitations... placed on my stay aboard Excalibur to this point, I haven’t exactly had access to a terminal. I would prefer to sanitize the data somewhat before turning it over to a member of the Romulan government,” tr’Argelian answered. “I need to do what I can to protect my source -- especially given the nature of the information.” “Understandable.” Kwai nodded. “Commander Wydown, you’ll see to it Mr tr'Argelian has what he needs, yes?” “Aye, no problem,” Rue Wydown replied. It was the first time Rian observed the woman to be docile and quiet. “These limitations that were placed on you. Can you explain a bit further?” Rian raised a brow, wondering what it was that crew did not trust about this man. Was there something she was missing? She glanced briefly at the security officer at the door, then to Wydown to see if she could get a bead on their thought process. The security officer, for her part, was unreadable; Wydown seemed to be avoiding her gaze, picking invisible pieces of lint off her pants. “As I was brought aboard, it was assumed -- by my appearance -- that I was a Romulan. At first, I’d no reason to disabuse them of that belief. I had information originating from a Romulan source. Had I been able to deliver that information to a proper intelligence contact, I might have been saved the trouble of all this subterfuge. As it was, Captain Corizon and I got off on the wrong foot, and I seem to continually be treading on each other’s toes.” Gaius gave a rueful grin. “When they tossed me into the brig, I was compliant with their demands; I even turned over the information I’d acquired for verification.” His brow creased, his mind churning over the order of events since his arrival. “I was quite literally sniffed out by the Al-Ucard on board. A blood sample was taken to verify the identification. By that time, they knew I was human, suspected I was Fleet Intelligence, but treated me with no small degree of suspicion.” “Well, you sort of dug that hole there, yourself.” Wydown smirked, glancing at the Romulan. “True,” he replied. “In their defense, it’s clear from previous events and the data I brought back that elements of our own Intelligence have been involved in this operation. So some suspicion was warranted.” The young lieutenant in the back of the room finally spoke up. “Not to the degree we all witnessed.” She shook her head. “We all understand that field work requires a very different mindset. But, from what I saw, Mr tr’Argelian was treated as though he’d already been tried and convicted.” Wydown shifted in her chair, her brow furrowing into a frown. “Things have been a little...intense lately.” She glanced up at the Captain. “I’m not sure I fully understand what all has been going on and the why-fors the way that Mr tr’Argelian was treated.” She waved a vague hand in his direction. “The Captain had his reasons, and I can’t speak for him -- without mucking it up.” She sighed and then continued for the group’s benefit. “If you want information about that, you’ll have to speak to the Captain himself.” Kwai narrowed her own eyes at the Commander, scrutinizing her reaction. The woman was clearly not happy with something. Rian could tell by Wydown’s body posturing that if pressed, she’d do nothing more but continue to deferred further questioning to her commanding officer. “I hate to ask this, but how do I verify that you are truly Starfleet Intelligence? And I’m not asking for your identity, but some means of proving you are who you say you are.” “Given your limited experience with the intelligence community,” tr’Argelian drawled, “a more efficient way might be to check my service number -- and the encryption of the intelligence that was handed over.” He rattled off a series of numbers, which Charlotte took down on the small PADD generally worn on her hip. She then crossed and offered the device to Kwai. Rian took the PADD and alternatively studied it and the man sitting in front of her. The service number provided access to a datafile with enough proof of identity to satisfy the Captain. She handed the PADD back to the Lieutenant with a nod before turning back to Gauis and Rue. “So the Commander,” Rian gave a vague wave towards Rue, “stated that you did not want to return to Romulan space. Your assignment is completed then?” “I accomplished what I was dispatched for, yes,” he answered. “Provided that my means of transport had survived the trip, I would have simply returned to my home port.” “Okay, so what seems to be the problem then?” Kwai directed her question to Wydown. “Welllll.....” Rue winced. “Captain Corizon’s attitude seems to have...rubbed off... onto other members of his crew. Not to mention the fact that I’d really like to avoid being shipped back to ch’Rihan with the rest of the guests. Might be detrimental to my health,” the pseudo-Romulan offered. Rue jumped into to clarify. “Look, my people are good people. Really, they are very good at what they do and their loyalty to the Federation.” Her eyes darted from Gauis to Kwai as she defended her crew, as if she wasn’t just trying to convince Kwai but the ‘Romulan’ as well. “And I know that in light of what’s happened, you all probably think what I’m saying is a load of rubbish. Unfortunately, right now, they are also under a lot of stress. And frustrated. This mission has taken a lot out of them, and the end result wasn’t as productive as we would have liked, considering the risks we took. We put not only our lives but our careers in jeopardy and came out of with a handful of prisoners, tr’Argelian’s data and a few cases of weapons---” Kwai’s brows shot up at the mention of yet another surprise. “Cases of--” “--I’ll explain that in a bit, mate,” Rue interrupted. “At any rate, we didn’t find the smoking gun, just the bullets. So they’re upset and looking for a convenient scapegoat. I’d prefer it not be Mr tr’Argelian. The man risked his life to bring this information back. It’s not his fault we plucked his sorry a--” She paused, thinking better of cursing in front of the Captain, and regrouped quickly. “It’s not his fault that this mission took a nosedive. And I don’t need my crew taking it out on him. “Not to mention I owe him one for tending to a wee bit of an issue I had earlier,” She rubbed the back of her head, examining the injury that Kwai knew she’d sustained earlier. “He didn’t need to step up and help. So....” Wydown shrugged effortlessly. “What are you proposing we do?” Rian crossed her arms, sitting back with a wary expression. “Well, I have a plan.” “What sort of plan, Wydown?” “Return Mr tr’Argelian to his natural form.” She shot the man with a Cheshire Cat grin, then turned her attention to Rian. “And have him blend in with your Republic security staff.” “Say what?” Kwai’s eyebrows shot up. Matsumura stepped forward. “Commander Wydown, I’m not sure --” Gaius watched the scene unfold, attention focused on Rue. As if sensing his focus, she glanced at him. He knew then that she had more in mind than she was willing to admit. “What did you have in mind, Commander?” “They’re looking for you, Gaius; they’re trying to figure out who you are. To see if they’ve met or seen you before. And to preserve your cover with the Romulans, you can’t stay like this for much longer or they’ll want to take you back as well. So if we return you to a human form to keep you from Romulan hands, we’re going to have problems with the Excalibur crew doing their best bloodhound impression, sniffin’ about.” “I know we’ve got about 500 officers, but they know each other so they’re going to notice if we suddenly have a miscellaneous crew member from an off shift -- you’ll catch hell. But with the Republic crew wandering about, who’s going to notice another one of them mucking about.” She turned to Gaius. “Heck, I can barely keep them straight. And I know you can blend in. So we make you a member of their crew, one of the security team. With Kwai’s permission, of course,” she said, glancing at Kwai, “and with the stipulation that you can’t leave Excalibur since you aren’t technically Republic crew. And you should probably avoid prolonged exposure to our Al-Ucard, just in case. That’d make the Capt ‘n happy, aye?” “It’s possible.” Rian stood up, starting to mull things over. She stood and faced the viewport staring at her reflection. The plan seemed to be simple enough. Not only would it help protect the Intelligence operative, but it would also keep Gauis away from t’Mirok. She studied the reflection of the three individuals behind her, watching as Rue started to open her mouth to add more to her argument, only to be waved off by the man calling himself Gauis. It was an oddly familiar exchange that gave Rian the impression that these two individuals knew each other or had become friends recently. She turned a little so she could look at Gaius and Rue over her shoulder. “How much damage control will we have to do with our other Romulan guests?” She watched Wydown turn to Gauis with a raised eyebrow. Gaius narrowed his eyes, drawing a deep breath. “I’ll need to talk to your mission specialist.” “I think we can have that arranged.” Rian nodded. Out of habit, she started to chew on her thumbnail as she mulled over the situation. “I’m assuming that you’ll want to have this meeting after we’ve taken care of” -- she waved at him from toe to head -- “this, yes?” She took another breath, scrutinizing the two officers sitting before her. She watched Rue give Gauis a look that seemed to be a mixture of amusement and repulsion, as if the woman wanted to do some sort of bodily harm to the Romulan. Like a good smack to the head. If Gauis noticed, he wasn’t reacting to the Executive Officer’s body language. Kwai took one last cleansing breath. “Okay, you have two hours to perform this alternation to your appearance and ‘sanitize’ your information.” She glanced at Wydown. “You’ll coordinate with your medical department?’ “Actually, I’d like to handle that myself,” Rue said as she glanced from Kwai to Gauis. “I owe him one. And I promised I’d do what I could to ensure his safety on this ship. Limiting the number of people involved, we also limit the chinwaggin’ and can control the situation easier.” She grinned a much more sedate sort of smile. “Okay. When you’re done, Mr tr'Argelian, report back here. I’ll contact your new ‘chief’ and get you set up as one of our crew temporarily.” Rian sighed softly. “I hoped to gods this works.” She pinched the bridge of nose. “Wydown, when this is wrapped up, you and I need to have a little talk.” “Aye ma’am.” Rue grinned again, standing up. “You two, meet me at the back entrance of sickbay but don’t do anything until I get there. Understood?” Gaius nodded. “Understood.” He rose and looked to Matsumura, gesturing toward the ready room door. “Well, Lieutenant, shall we adjourn to sick bay?” Charlotte offered a smile. “Of course. I think, under the circumstances, however, I should follow you.” “As you wish, Lieutenant.” The operative nodded first to Rian, then to Rue. “Until then.” “And when you return, Mr tr'Argelian, how should we address you?” Kwai asked. She watched the group heading to the door. She found it difficult to suppress a smile at the way the pseudo-Romulan introduced his soon to be human alter-ego. It reminded her of an old holo-video. “Pierson. Lieutenant Adam Pierson.”

My guess is that "catnip" is also considered off-limits - mostly because it's like crack for cats and not as relaxing as it should be, yes? Just clarifying for the crew to help them keep out of trouble.... ::puts her innocent XO hat on::

"I'm rarely uneasy about some of the missions and things we do these days, but this one simple dinner has my stomach in knots." Rian Kwai folded her arms across her chest, trying to calm the anxious feeling percolating through her body. "We've just invited an armed viper to break bread with us. And yes, I know we're trying to be hospitable and she's not likely to start an incident, but it still has me on edge." Errrika BluRox wanted to make certain that there would be something for the Romulan woman to eat that would suit her, so she had the cook prepare not only a nice smoked trout, and roasted beet salad with crumbled feta cheese and walnuts, but also a hlai dish (similar to Earth’s chicken protein) that she had gotten from the replicators on DS9 back during the war to accommodate visiting dignitaries. She looked up at Rian as the rest of the food was being brought in, "I know Rian, but I don't think we should refer to her as an armed viper. She's fairly young, and wants to make an impression I'm sure. I believe she was assigned, as she was not too high in rank to be much of a threat to us. Though, I do intend to speak with her about the disruptor tonight at dinner, now that she's seen we're not going to shoot her." Blu paused a beat, “You're always uneasy when you’ve had to eat with me, now, I provide you a distraction and still you fret." The food looked actually appetizing to the Trill, which she mentally noted as a positive sign. Although how much she'd be able to consume was another manner. "That's different. You usually offered me food after a traumatic event. I didn't want to embarrass you with my table manners with shaky hands." She smirked at BluRox. Looking over at Rian, Blu reached over and speared a strawberry with a claw, and quickly plucked it from the sharpened digit, "Couldn't be any worse than my own when others aren't watching." Looking at the time piece on the mantle, "She should be arriving shortly. I don't want to make this an interrogation, I just wish her to feel comfortable here, while also reaffirming the boundaries which must not be crossed. Not crossed by she, or by our own crew. I want her to be comfortable enough to come to us, if anyone causes her difficulty." "Has Holly been warned off?” "Holly is aware of the situation, and while not outwardly being a looming presence, is keeping our guest under surveillance with all of the security devices, holo emitters, as well as she can monitor the computer access. I have instructed her however, not to delve into any personal logs the woman makes, nor her secure communications in sending her reports back to her superiors," Blu continued. “Rian, one matter before she arrives," Her ears swiveling back a bit with concern. "I want to know, and honestly, how you are feeling these days? And I mean honestly, not the normal bravado that you put on dealing with the crew. You were poisoned, and you hid it from me. That in itself is of concern." There was a bit of a pause before Rian answered, then "I'm get there." She shrugged a little. "Let's hope Holly heeds your instructions. I hate to see her pop in suddenly and frightening the Romulan." "No, I've spoken to her, and we'd rather keep her presence a secret. She will however, be circulating around in various guises, in order to help keep tabs on the woman." Blu looked at her. "And you're changing the subject. What has medical had to say on your condition? And has that tea that the Wydown woman suggested been of any help?" Kwai snorted a little, picturing a ‘Where's Waldo’ version of a Holly hunt."I haven't been back to medical yet. And before you say I should go back....you're right. I just haven't had a chance yet. As for the tea," Rian wrinkled her nose. "It smells gods awful, but it seems to be helping a bit. Dinner tonight actually looks somewhat appealing to me." She flashed a self depreciating smile. "Happy?" "For now, yes." With fair amount of trepidation, Arrain Ael t'Mirok entered the dining room, her security detail remaining outside the room. She took a quick assessment of the room, nodding to each officer, Khre'Riov and Enarrain, as she spoke her greeting. "Jolan tru." Nodding back, BluRox returned the greeting, "Good evening, I'm pleased that you were able to join us for a meal. You've met my executive officer, Captain Kwai already, so please, come be comfortable." Kwai smiled and nodded. "Welcome, t'Mirok." She tried not to seem like she was staring at the woman's posture or the weapon on her hip. "I am also fortunate that your superiors assigned someone with a name and rank that is easy for one of my race to pronounce," BluRox said, grinning at the young woman. "I've had difficulties with some of the Klingon and Cardassian names I come across, so many harsh letters and pronunciations." "Hann'yyo." Ael nodded again, but did little to change her posture. She openly scanned the room. "I wish I could say the same of the names of some of your crew. I am having a particularly hard time pronouncing the name of the Dheno au assigned as my security escort earlier." Her lips twitched a bit in what seemed to be the beginnings of a smile. Errirka turning to look at Kwai for confirmation, "Bardolph? or Fenn? I'm certain if you let him know, he has a few nicknames that one might be a bit easier to pronounce, just ask him, he's pretty easy to get along with from my interactions with the man." She motioned to the table, “Please....have a seat, you have no reason to be standing there at a parade rest, this is not a formal review, but a casual occasion for us to get to know one another better. And do not worry; we will not be trying to interrogate you either." "It's Bardolph." Rian chuckled softly. She had her own recollections of Whiskey's personality. To set the example, Kwai choose a seat and motioned to another for the Romulan to join them. “Nicknames?" She raised a brow. "It is not appropriate for one to request private names in our culture. They may be given freely, but to ask is impolite." She took the seat offered to her apprehensively. Especially after her encounter with the scientists, t'Mirok found herself more on guard about her physical surroundings than usual. "Trust me, he advertises his, asks 'everyone' to call him 'Whiskey'. I purposely don't, not really right for someone of my rank to be using nicknames too much, but you two, you are very similar in the duties you perform. I would not doubt he'd prefer you call him that. But if you are not comfortable with it, just keep working on the pronunciation, I'm sure you'll get it in time. How was your first day here with us? I hope all went well in the astrometrics lab?” "It was...." Ael paused as searched for the right word to describe it that would not offend the Khre'Riov or alarm her either. "...enlightening." The Romulan picked up the napkin from her place and laid it across her lap. "Au have quite an impressive ship. How long has she been in service?" Kwai glanced from t'Mirok to Blu and then back again. Enlightening had all sorts of connotations, and she was worried that the woman felt that the Federation was not willing to work with the Romulan officer. "We've only had her a few weeks now. She's a beauty, isn't she?" Blu looked at Rian, and flicked an ear momentarily, indicating to the woman she wanted that looked into, without having to utter a word. Luckily they'd worked together long enough that she knew that Rian new some of her more subtle mannerisms, and not alarm the Romulan woman that they were concerned as well. "I'm pleased things went well then. I want you to feel comfortable here. However I would like to broach one subject if I may? Your sidearm. As you've seen, only a few of our security staff even carry a small sidearm while patrolling. I've noticed several people are quite nervous with that large weapon hanging in your holster. I hope you realize that nobody here is going to do anything to harm you now that you've been here a day with us, and that perhaps you would consider keeping it in your quarters. We will not take it away from you, but I would ask this small thing of you to please think on, in an effort to promote a more comfortable atmosphere for everyone?" Ael's jaw tightened, after her experience with the science officers she was reluctant to relinquish her side arm. "I do na feel twelve hours is enough experience to determine that. However, I shall consider au's request." She nodded. Oh crud, something had happened. Between Blu's look and the Romulan's posture, Kwai could see it. Rian shifted in her chair just slightly, trying to make herself look more at ease when in reality she wanted to jump up and stomp out to interrogate both Bardolph and Link and find out what had happened. "We certainly do not want to make you feel uncomfortable. I know this experience has to be difficult for you. Being in a strange place among strange people," Kwai tried to smile encouragingly. Having become quite adept at reading the facial expressions of humanoids, Errrika now knew something had happened to make the woman uncomfortable, but knew that Rian would look into it. "That is all I ask of you at this time, but do know, it is something I would appreciate if you would do so.” She glanced at her first officer. “Rian, as we'll be here eating and conversing for a while, would you mind letting the security staff positioned outside the door, that they may go to the mess hall and get some dinner. There is no need for them to stand there and watch a door, and I doubt that our guest here is planning to shoot us both while we're having dessert," she grinned at the young Romulan, "At least I hope you would at least wait until after coffee?" "Of course," Ael flashed a tight smile. Rian chuckled softly, trying to keep a sense of humor about the situation; she stood and headed to the door to speak to the guard. Blu continued, "That's better, finally a glimpse of a smile." May I get you something to drink?” "Tea, perhaps?" t'Mirok nodded. She watched the two women, observing how they worked together. "So au were na downplaying au's experience with this ship? Au have only had it a few weeks. Has it been fully vetted?" Errrika walked over and retrieved a carafe of hot water and set it on the table along with a cup and saucer for the woman, then turned back to get another pair of cups for Rian and herself. Lastly, she took a hinged wooden box from the counter, ornately carved with images of a fierce mythical Terran creature that was a gift from one of her friends upon hearing of the naming scheme of her shuttles. Opening the box found it felt lined, and a number of small containers of tea mixtures, and four small tea infuser balls. "Somewhat, I'm afraid we are still shaking her down. We were not to take possession of her for another few months, but our former ship, had an unfortunate accident in the Gamma Quadrant. So, we are still verifying some systems." Ael focused on the creature on the box, curious at the carving. She stared at it longer than the preparations for the tea. "And au feel comfortable flying an untested vessel into a mission such as this?" "Now, as for teas...I have quite a selection here. A gift I received before we left spacedock. There are herbal as well as regular teas, from Terra, Vulcan and other locations. Please, help yourself.” Blu spoke as she passed the box over to let the Romulan woman make first selection. "We didn't have much of a choice. But our crew is capable of solving any problems she throws at us," as Rian returned to her seat. "I really have no choice. My other ship was damaged beyond repair and I needed this one to rescue them, and the import of this mission is too great to wait for another ship to arrive. I would see our peoples remain at the truce we have between us, than a war started anew due to misunderstandings. I also hold grievance against this other ship and its captain and crew, and am ordered to bring them back." t'Mirok took the box, examining the strange selections. She sniffed several of the selections before settling on one that seemed to be pleasing to the nose. She passed the box to the Enarrain, and then watched curiously as she passed it straight to the Khre'Riov without taking anything. Instead the Enarrain removed a small package from her pocket and prepared her own beverage. She glanced at the Khre'Riov for an explanation. “Grievance, in what way?" Taking an infuser ball and a packet of a mint based tea from the box, she loaded the tea ball and placed it into her cup, pouring the hot water over it and allowing it to steep. "A personal grievance, but enough on that note," not wishing to elaborate. "I see. And what is au's feeling about their appearance in the neutral zone. Is it that they've gone rogue, piracy or something else?" Wrinkling nose at Rian's drink, Blu spoke to Kwai "Captain, you were not kidding about that medication, it is quite pungent, I can smell that all the way over here. Are you sure you don't want a bit of another blend to help mask the taste?" Turning back to t'Mirok, "A rumor has it that they have been dispatched after some sort of smuggling ring, but not by order of Star Fleet or the Federation Council. It is our duty to find them, bring them back, and find out who's wielding enough power that they are making demands of fleet ships outside of the chain of command. Your superior, noted that there were some concerns on your side of the zone as well, so it may well be that these rumors of a smuggling ring are true. However, there are always proper channels to go through. t'Mirok glanced at Kwai, then back to the Enarrain. "Au find that smell unpleasing?" "I find it unpleasing." Kwai sighed softly. "I apologize all." She placed a saucer over it so that the group could not smell it as strongly. "Rian, don't be silly, I was just offering another to make it more palatable for you, no need to cover it." Blu glanced at the two officers. "Perhaps we should partake of the meal while it remains hot?" trying to deflect the attention away from Rian. "I was uncertain of what you would find pleasing, so I had both a Terran dish made, as well as something from your home world as well." Ael made a mental note; so far she's on an untested vessel with rude science officers and an ill first officer. She wondered if her superiors knew what type of situation they were sending her into. She nodded a bit, "I'm willing to sample both." "Surprisingly, it tastes better than it smells." Rian passed a plate to Ael to sample. "Can I ask you a personal question, if you don't mind? How long have you been in service with the Romulan military? And why as a security officer?" t'Mirok speared something white and flaky, thinking this must be the Lloann'na dish the Khre'Riov spoke of. "Six years. I found I was better suited for dheno work than that of engineering or the sciences. I found it more pleasurable than sitting behind an etrehh screen during my duty shift." "I began as a security officer as well, many years ago." Blu responded. "I can see that," t'Mirok took in the Cait's physical stature. Errrika, hoping that this dinner and being upfront and open with this woman, would help her relax and trust them. Someone had to make advances towards peace, and honestly, after all the battles of late in the Gamma Quadrant, she found she would rather have peace at home, than war here as well. However she took in the Arrain's assessing eye, seeing her judging their words and actions, and knowing she would be cataloging it all as would be her duty to do so. She only hoped if when the time became necessary, that she would be able to trust the woman in return. "And au, Enarrain?" t'Mirok turned to Kwai just as the woman was taking a bite. Kwai was thankful however that Blu kept the conversation going while she chewed furiously to keep up. "Yes, while many of my people tend to go into communications, having a fine ear, I found I was not patient enough to just sit and listen to static. Growing up in an embassy on the Klingon home world, I had to learn to fight early in life. It sort of stayed with me." "Au people are na warriors by nature?" t'Mirok tilted her head. "Many mistake my race with that of an older more warlike race, but most of my people prefer peaceful relations. However, we will respond if we are angered or wronged, and then those that made the mistake too often to provoke us, soon learn the error of their ways." “I see," She nodded. "I must confess. I do na understand how au quii can keep the peace, so to speak, with so many individual races on board a small vessel. Between the humans, auselves, and the man with the strange hat down in science. Quii react so differently to situations. How do au keep auselves moving in the same direction with the same purpose?” " It's not easy, but we have goals and rules and procedures that make it possible. Plus mutual respect for each other and each other's cultures." Rian answered, picking at her food a bit. “A small vessel? Well, yes, I suppose so by your Teronix’s size.” Dishing herself up a bit of of the trout, but mostly taking the beets and greens, Errrika sat back down with her meal in hand as well to have something to eat. "One thing that is stressed at the Academy is diversity. Everyone is expected to respect each other and their differences. I expect no difference from them here on board either. Though truth be told, occasionally you do find that one or two bad apples that just cannot work with others. I had that occasion a few times growing up, but you find that those type of people, do not last here long, nor do they advance." Blu continued. "And though I know that many of the crew here grew up, knowing your race as 'the enemy', things have changed since the Dominion War. Currently, our people are at a truce, which I would one day hope to see become a lasting peace. I expect you, as a member of this crew for the duration of this mission, to respect the crew here, but I expect the same of them. And if you do not receive that respect, my executive is in charge of personnel, I expect you to speak with her, and things 'will' be cleared up soon enough. It is one of the reasons I broached the subject of the weapon before, as it will set you apart, and cause the others much worry." Ael’s face soured once more, not bothering to hide her distaste for that comment in light of her current experiences, Ael laid down her cutlery as to not give an impression she was attacking. She sighed softly before speaking, looking for a way to keep from speaking about that particular incident. "I find au's dehno staff to be well mannered and knowledgeable." Setting her cutlery down as well, she sat back in her chair to listen to the woman, "But.....? Come, out with it. This is why I wanted to have this dinner, to make sure things were meshing well, and I want you to feel welcome. If someone has wronged you, it will not be tolerated." "Au science team leaves much to be desired." Feeling a bit as she's tattling, but she's peeved enough as it is. "Io accused me of purposely omitting information while another shoved me away from a station I had been permitted to use, then warned me off using my weapon, which to that point I had na even touched." She leaned back in her seat, hands folded in her lap. "I know na their names, they did na bother to introduce themselves. But Etre Bar-doluf." She winced as she mispronounced the dheno's name. "Bardolph must know of them, ie?" Rian groaned inwardly. "On behalf of the crew, I apologize. I'll speak with them." "Indeed, our apologies. Here we tell you about diversity, and our own crew forgets all they stand for. It will not happen again, "Blu looked over to Rian, "Will it Captain? I will ‘not’ see a guest ‘ever’ shoved? Do you wish to press charges?" "Na. I will trust au to resolve the situation as au see fit." "Of course." Rian nodded. She could tell by Blu's tone and ear placement she was not happy. "Let us try to put this unpleasantly behind us for now, and enjoy the meal and company. And Arrain, let me just say, I do understand how you must feel. I've had a few very bad first contact situations where those not knowing of my race, have thought me little more than an animal, and have treated me as such. I can understand if you are angry, as I know I have been as well in similar situations, which is why I will not stand for it on my own ship. Again, I offer you our apologies. I hope you are at least enjoying the food selections? If you require anything in particular programmed for your replicator, please let us know and we'll see to it. We also have a chocolate raspberry torte for dessert as well, unless you would prefer something else?" "Na, this is quite all right." She smiled tightly, na wanting to press or offend them further. Whatever she needed, she could easily replicate when she returned to her quarters. "In fact, if au do na mind. I think I will retire early. It has been a long day and I am quite exhausted. If au would excuse me?" "Certainly. Perhaps we could do this again someday. I would like to hear your thoughts on my old acquaintance t'Rexan, as she is much changed since our last meeting. And that impressive ship you serve upon as well, it is a thing of beauty ... from a distance," grinning at her. "A pleasant night to you then, and tomorrow we begin our hunt anew. And if you need anything, please let the Captain know." "Of course." Ael nodded, pushing back from the table and heading to the door. Both Republic officers stood and nodded as the woman left. Rian, waiting until the woman had disappeared before speaking. "I can tell she was trying not to speak ill of the crew, but something has set her off." "Holly, I want a video playback of astrometrics from earlier today." Blu spoke. The disembodied voice of Holly answered, "I have already sent it to both the Captain's and your terminals. You're not going to be happy, the Romulan told you the truth." "Thank you Holly, and thank you for waiting until she left." "Thanks Holly," Rian sighed softly. "After you" She motioned to the terminal. "Let's see it....Holly, please play back anything pertinent." As both women watched the footage, Blu started to frown as the recording went on. "Well, this makes us look like a bunch of hypocrites, telling her how much the Federation embraces diversity, and here she's being treated poorly by both new and old staff alike. Though I do believe the sidearm is part of it, I should not have given in on that point, but had I not, I'm not sure we'd have been given access to their space." Bites her lip, hesitating, "What if they wanted you to press the issue? To see how serious you were or how easily you'd give in?" Rian frowned. "She's not made one motion to grab for it, lesser officers I've seen have...in fact they flaunt it. She's not so much as touched it. And unfortunately, the two of them made a fool out of you with your speech that it's not tolerated. Gotta figure out how to repair the damage. Or find someone with a bit more tact who can deal with her." "She seems comfortable with Bardolph, perhaps they can work together from an auxiliary station. As for our science staff, I want it made crystal clear, that what our policies are, and the damage they may have already caused. This woman is our 'guest'! I will not have us embarrassed by the actions of a few minor officers who can't hold their tongues or follow orders. Deal with them Rian, and if they do not comply, then they can come talk to me. I'd be more than happy to leave them in a life pod floating....." "Don't worry, I will deal with them." "One simple dinner, was all I wanted to have, and we end up spending near half of it apologizing. Perhaps when we do find the Excalibur, we can beam science over to it, and then accidently blow it up?" Holly materialized in a seat beside them, "I could arrange that for you if you like." “Absolutely not! I was just jesting to blow off steam," Blu quickly amended. Rian snickered softly, "I don't know, I kinda like that idea." She teased, stabbing a piece of the dessert. "I'll continue to keep her work periods under surveillance then, to make sure she's not being treated unfairly?" Holly asked. Blu rubbed at her head, "And I was just starting to feel a bit better, now my headache returns." "Relax. I'll take care of it with science and I'll talk to Will about his security team. It's only the first day; things have got to get better." Rian spoke softly. "It's because you are stressed. And you went on a mission. You're supposed to be resting. For that matter, you should go take a nap, it's been over 18 hours since you last slept, and you know the medics said you are to sleep at least once every 10 hours." Holly fussed. Rian felt a bit sorry for Blu to have Holly as a nursemaid, she picked up the remains of her dessert plate. "I'm going to head out. I'll keep you posted." “Very good Captain. Why don't you take the rest of that chocolate torte back to your quarters for later, it's pretty good. Good night Rian," Blu said heading for the couch. "No, no, no. You'll halfway sleep, then get up and work. To the bedroom with you," Holly said. "Good night Captain." "This is plenty. Thank you." Rian departed as quickly as she could before she could witness whatever Holly was going to do to Blu. Holly waved to Rian as she left, and took Blu by the arm directing her towards the bedroom.

To: LtCdr Joy Twelve From: Captain Rian Kwai, Executive Officer Re: Response to Hive Minds & Excalibur Mission Parameters Lt Cdr Joy, I appreciate your thoughtful explanation of how the Joy sisterhood works. While I have no personal knowledge of the shared mindset between beings such as yourself and your sisters or that of a Trill symbiont and its host, I can appreciate its complexities, comforts and additional knowledge it brings. After reviewing the information you provided as well as the current mission parameters, I believe it is appropriate for Admiral BluRox to request that you recuse yourself from participation in the mission details. While unfortunately I can no longer make you privy to the mission details, I do believe the hive mind could potentially jeopardize what we are setting out to accomplish. This may be unintentional on your part, but it is still a risk that we must negate for the safety of all the beings on this crew, yourself included. I know this is this is not the first time we’ve had a discussion about your ability to perform a directive during a mission. I do not suppose this will be the last. I will do my due diligence to review both your capabilities and limitations during mission parameter reviews and consult with you when appropriate. Captain Rian Kwai Executive Officer USS Republic

STSF_BluRox -> Also, a list of the shuttles, pods and workbees is there as well. We went with mythical creatures for the names. Ayumu Kasuga -> I love that one of the shuttles is named Kraken.

They've been laser etched in. If you want to avoid those jokes, it looks like you're just going to have to make Ayumu fly that flippy one over there. ::jerks her head towards the 'special' shuttle:: Capt Rian Kwai -> ::trying to get used to the new carpet smell:: Blu> Trepp would have been in heaven…..

Expectations and Matters of Trust Admiral BluRox & Captain Kwai From the last sim..... Blu looked at those assembled around the table, "That being said, we already have a new mission which we'll be leaving for in about a week to two weeks once we've stocked up the ship and done minor testing. The rest of the tests will have to take place along the way. It seems, that the USS Excalibur, has went AWOL.....and we're being sent...to find her and bring her back." "Say what?" as Kwai raises a brow. "We're going hunting people. While we appreciate the help they leant, their abandoning a known damaged ship is cause for serious concern, and frankly, I'm quite angry about them endangering all of your lives." BluRox noted Rian was about ready to pass out, and decided to end the meeting. "We'll discuss this more, but I want you to eat now. Holly will fill you in on class specs, and will hand out crew quarter assignments to you." Kwai clenches her jaw, not a happy camper with either Corizon or Wydown. "Captain Kwai, I'd like for you to join me in my ready room for a few minutes please. Now!" she snapped a bit, not giving her a choice. Blu turns and heads towards the door, ignoring the conversation going on between Holly and Kania, and heads towards the ready room. Rian brushes off her uniform, "Here we go again," as she glances back at the rest, nods and smile, heading out the door. Blu enters the Ready Room and moves around behind the large black desk, the only thing currently sitting upon it a terminal and 2 padds. On the wall behind her she had hung a set of blueprints to study the layout of the new decks, working to familiarize herself better with the new ship. Feeling a bit discombobulated by the look of the bridge and the doorways, without an escort it takes Rian a moment to locate the Ready Room door. And while she'd been asked to report directly and was expected, she still took a moment to take a deep breath and press the chime to warn Blu of her arrival. Going in hopping mad about Holly wouldn't do much good, so Rian continued to mutter 'peacemaker' under her breath as a reminder of Gail's advice as she waited for Blu's permission to enter. Beginning to wonder if she had lost Kwai on the way here, or if she had finally passed out and hadn't heard her hit the deck, Errrika was about to call Fenn to go looking for the woman, when the door chime rang. "Enter," as she watched the pale ghost of a Trill enter the room. "Sit down Captain," pointing to the seat across from her. "Admiral" She nodded as she took a seat. "Medical was supposed to look you over on DS9. Why do I get the feeling that you ignored that advice?" Blu held herself very formal and a bit reserved, trying to tell herself to be calm, not to hold a grudge, and not to yell at the woman. If she did, she might knock her over in her state. Peacemaker, peacemaker, peacemaker. "I was seen by not one but two doctors." She refrained from mentioning one of them happened to be that Wydown nut. "And cleared for duty by the DS9 medic. The records are accessible in the Republic D computer." She folded her hands in her lap and waited. While she was prepared to into battle for her job, she was waiting to see if that was necessary yet. "I see," tapping her claws on the edge of the stone topped desk. Someone finally gave her a desk she wouldn't destroy, but it made for a discomforting clicking sound to any sitting across from her. "And did they happen to mention how you'd be able to do your job if you were passed out? You already look like you're just hanging on by a thread, and that thread is frayed, unraveling, and ready to break. I'd like for you to speak with someone from Star Fleet Medical while we are so close, and find out why you are showing no improvement." "Funny. Sounds like the same lecture I tried on you several weeks ago." She spoke pointedly. "And I have. There's not a lot anyone can do at the moment but let the meds do their work, whatever the frell they're supposed to do." Blu's ears pin back a bit further at Kwai's response, eyes narrowing a bit, but she holds her tongue a moment, and then relaxes her facial muscles a bit. "I was told you were poisoned. I did not see this in your earlier reports. Why not?" The warning bells going off in Rian's head that she was pushing it, she took a deep breath and tried to remember to edit herself as she spoke, "I've been kind of busy lately. Helping with a rescue mission, dealing with an injured CO, keeping a mortally wounded ship space worthy, trying to keep the crew moral from blowing up like the stardrive and worrying about the nut who decided to abandon us in the middle of nowhere. I've had little time for sleeping, let alone editing or amending my reports on the Oest business. Besides you can't have two command staff members laid up in sickbay, someone's got to keep us running and you were in worse shape." She folded her arms across her chest defensively, more to protect herself for the next barrage of questions. Control, control, control. Do not bite the woman's head off..... " No, not acceptable. This could have killed you, and then where would the ship have been with me in medical and you dead. Kania could have filled in just fine while you were undergoing treatment." "And I could have filled in for you when you were being treated," Holly materialized next to Rian. "Holly, not now please, this is between Rian and myself. Please go see to the crew quarters and assignments for now. We'll talk after I'm finished here." Holly frowned, "Fine, but I still say a stiff breeze would blow her over. Call me when you need me." Holly disappeared from the room. "Sorry about that, we've been talking a lot in here lately and she's gotten used to just popping in." "I can see that." Rian answered thinly. Blu dipped her ears back again momentarily then brought them back to that 65 degree angle before she continued, "So, your first command, and I read that you chose Will to be your first officer. Not a bad choice, but how did you both manage to let Excalibur just drop you in the middle of nowhere?" "Perhaps you should be questioning Captain Corizon's motives rather than Mr. Robinson's or my judgment on this. He is a Star Fleet Captain, there should have been no reason for me to doubt his word when he stated they'd been called out and his replacement would arrive momentarily. It was by no means Mr. Robinson's fault, nor mine for that matter, but since I was the Captain of that train wreck out there and someone has to take responsibility, then the buck stops here." She pointed at herself as she had gotten worked up about Blu's lecture, Holly's appearance and now this? "Captain, trust me, I intend on doing just that. That's why I said we were going hunting. I intend to have a very long talk with this Corizon about his motives, and just what the hell he thought he was doing. That and where he's taken that ship, he had orders to return to Mars. As for you and Mr. Robinson, I was not questioning your motives; I was just asking you a question. As for that 'train wreck', that ship just survived one hell of an explosion and brought most of its crew back alive. Furthermore, why in the bloody blue blazes do you think I'm blaming you? 'The buck stops here?' Really Rian, you can do better than that. You've been watching too many old Terran holovids in the rec hall using quotes like that. I don't know what to do about you right now though," Blu stood and pacing over to the window to look out at the Republic D. "Well, apparently that goes for both of us because right now I can't tell what the frell you want from me. You asked the damn question like it was our fault that Corizon went MIA us. You yell at me for looking out for your best interest. Then you lecture me for not looking out for myself. I'm getting real mixed signals here, Blu. Either you want me to help you or you don't. Make up your mind all ready." "Are you sitting in my Ready Room?" "For the moment, yes." "Did you not hear me say 'we' were going hunting?" "'We' in Star Fleet terms is loosely defined as the crew of a starship. Which, considering you've all ready replaced me with Holly once tells me I'm not quite sure if I'm a part of yet? Especially after that staff meeting you just held that told everyone that not everyone might be joining the Republic E. Remember." She answered a bit tartly, but she wanted a straight forward answer. Either Kwai was expected as part of the crew or not. Blu walked back over the desk, leaning her paws against it, and leaning across the desk towards Kwai, "Damn it woman, do you know you're bloody impossible!" Pushing back she paced around the desk and spun Kwai's chair around to face her. "We, as in my First Officer, one Captain Rian Kwai. But I need to tell you one thing first. I need to know that I can trust you. Believe me, it took alot for me to ask anyone for help back on DS9, and I thought you could be discrete and help me as requested. But you totally went against everything I asked of you. I have to be able to trust you; you have to be able to trust me. And as for Holly, she was assisting me here, after you took command of my ship. It was only pure luck that they're letting me have this one and not just handing it right over to you. Were it not for my knowledge of the Gamma Quadrant and Alpha Quadrant Neutral Zones, to go look for Excalibur, they most likely would have given her directly to you. Now, you just have to wait a short bit. As for Holly, she's here, you have to learn to deal with her, and I'll remind her she has to adapt as well, but she's here to help you and me." Being spun around made Rian catch her breath, she gripped to armrests to try to maintain her composure. "You don't trust me because I took you to sickbay? Blu, I'm not a medical professional and I could barely handle you as it was. Would I have done something differently if I had a choice? Sure. But at the moment I didn't know what else to do. You need more help than I could give you. If you're going to be mad at me for trying to look out for you, then that's on you, not me. You know me well enough to know I do my job to the best of my ability and aside from that one damn incident, when have I ever let you down before? And Holly? Holly's a nut. If you think you can control her, then fine. I'll deal with it." "Discretion Rian, discretion. This is where I need your trust as well. I never said no to the medical help, I just wanted it somewhere quiet. I just wanted you to take me to my quarters, and then get me help. I needed to keep this quiet, which now you know why. I'm very close to riding a permanent desk assignment, and....to be honest, that scares me more than being in a room with a angry, drunken Robinson and 5 phaser rifles. And you hadn't let me down to that point. I would not have asked you if there had not been good reason. And as for Holly, she may be a nut, but I've transferred some of the ships records to your terminal to review. The only reason any of us are still here at the moment, is because of that AI. She found an anomaly in the warp core that was going to make it implode. She separated the ship, taking the star drive away from the saucer to protect it, while at the same time, defended it from several oncoming Oest ships, and intended on remaining aboard to make sure she could try to collapse that wormhole with the exploding core. You know the rest, I brought her out, but she saved most of the crew that day, and countless others by collapsing that wormhole before they made their way further into our quadrant and began taking more of our people. " "You don't have to recap for me what she's done. I know." She sighed tiredly. "I'm sorry Blu. That's all I can say at this point." Blu hisses some unintelligible Caitian curse and turns away from the infuriating woman for a moment. "You're impossible, do you know that!? You said the Starfleet docs said you could work, but you don't look much like it to me, but you've never lied to me that I know of. So I'll take you at your word. But I need you to tell me, that I can trust you if I ask you to trust me, will you?" "As long as you're not going to ask me to violate Star Fleet protocol or engage in something that's an egregious violation of the Prime Directive, then yes, you can trust me. I'm sorry to put that condition on this, but....I value my job and what the Fleet stands for. I'm not going to go cowboying across the galaxy on a whim." Realizes she thinks she may have just described Corizon, she blinks and shakes her head. "As to the StarFleet doctors, you know how well I trust them." She pursued her lips. "Right now, that's what they're telling me. A nap wouldn't hurt, but otherwise, I've been cleared for duty. I'm just......." she stops, shaking her head, and barely audible, can be heard muttering 'no excuses, Ri.' She looked at Blu. "Let's try this again, okay? New ship, fresh start." "So, do you want the job?" "I wouldn't be here if I didn't want the job." She folded her arms across her chest, daring Blu to test her again. "Don't be taking an attitude with me Rian," pinning her ears back a bit again. "It was a simple question." She unfolded her arms, waited a few beats before she answered. "Yes. I want the job." "Good." Walking away from her she rounds the desk and presses a button at the base of the console. "Computer, begin Commanding Officer's log, recording date and time. Effective immediately, Captain Rian Kwai transfers command of the USS Republic-D to the Utopia Planitia Shipyards, and in doing so, resumes the duties of First Officer aboard, NCC 1371 the USS Republic-E. Acting First Officer Holly will remain as the Emergency Command Hologram in case both Captain Kwai and I are unable to serve our functions." Rian had the feeling that Blu was still frustrated with the Trill, but at the moment she was just to tired to fight any more. She sat silently, watching what the Admiral was up to. Still not satisfied by the Trill's responses, but still she respected that the woman had stood up for herself, and that's what she needed here in an executive officer. Blu decided not to push the matter more at this time, but she would revisit it later if need be with the woman. "Thank you, Admiral." She nodded and stood up. "Going somewhere?" She answered quietly, "I'm assuming you'll want the Republic E up and ready to go as soon as possible if we're to catch up to the Excalibur, sir. Unless I'm mistaken and there's something else you need?" There's no challenge in that statement by Kwai, merely her expectation that Blu would want her to get started right away. "No Rian, I want you to sit and read over the ship's spec's and look at these blueprints. Holly's been made aware of your situation and we are both agreed that we need you fresh for the mission. She is seeing to making the arrangements we need to get stuff aboard, seems she has a way with the local computers to make sure we actually get everything we request, and perhaps a few more things. You'll notice we're not the old standard Sovereign class ship. We've been able to adapt some known technology to make her state of the art because of the duties we often pull. The ship has been equipped with ablative armor, We carry both quantum and normal torpedoes, and we will carry for emergency use 2 multiphasic torpedoes. We have also added 4 additional phaser banks. Holly will deliver the crew assignments and quartermaster lists to you after you've eaten and gotten some rest. I also received a note from headquarters with a very short message to pass along to you. Though I don't' know what it means," picks up one of the pads and pulls up the message for the Trill, "Rian, drink the tea." "Do you know what it means?" "Who sent that?" She raises both brows, hoping to hell it wasn't Gail because if it was, she'll kill her. "It was sent strangely enough, from the First Officer of the Excalibur before they left DS9 to bring you back it seems." "Oh that screwy woman. She's insane, you know that?" Rian scowled. "She gave me some damn home remedy along with the meds from DS9. You know that stuff tastes like sewage sludge?" "Still, if it helps, you should take it. Now, Holly's pointed out to me that you must eat at regular intervals, so use my replicator, get what you need and read over these files. I'm going to go down and see to another matter that I want to take care of before we leave. As we're home and waiting for the rest of the supplies and gear to be loaded, I wanted to take full advantage of the fact that we're home for so many of the crew, that we give them a break as well, and I want to have our annual holiday party here upon the new ship."

((Hey folks - this is before last week's sim. I didn't get a chance to finish it before Monday night so consider this a little back story.)) Alice In A Not So Wonderland Capt. Rian Kwai & Cdr (ret.) Helen Gail Ranau “Drink the tea, Alice.” “What?!?” “You heard me. Drink the tea.” Gail Ranau leaned back in her seat, and folded her arms across her chest as she gave Rian Kwai one of those “looks” the fleet must have taught medical personal in the Academy. Even through the vid-com it was effectively making Kwai antsy. “Look, I know Wydown seems like a nut. A Kamikaze nut. But she knows what she knows what she’s talkin’ about.” “How do you know?” Rian raised a brow. Gail was one of three medical officers Rian would willingly trust and therefore subject herself to a medical scan: Huff & Weber rounded out the company at the moment. Not even Rian’s best friend (and ironically Gail’s cousin) Evie garnered such an honor. Still, even Gail’s advice was hard to swallow, figuratively and literally. “ ‘Cause she was in some of my Academy classes. I’ve seen her in action first hand,” the former USS Daystrom first officer shrugged. “She grew up on one of the outer planets with some of the worse physical living environments this side of Rura Penthe. And that colony chose to live there. For fun. I think that’s why she’s so…warped. Never met someone who willingly and enthusiastically dives into danger.” She shook her head. “But she also knows her stuff. Usually aced the exam work. And picked up on half of the practical applications faster than I did. And that’s saying something,” Gail gave a meaningful look. “She didn’t happen to give you her banana smoothie recipe, did she?” “No,” Rian bit her lower lip, thinking about what Gail had said. “Damn. Been fifteen years and I still can’t find anyone who’s got it.”Gail scowled. “Congrats on the new posting, by the way.” Rian watched Gail shift in her chair. “Thanks. Let’s hope I get to keep it.” Rian rubbed her forehead. “What do you mean?” “Oh, I just have the impression that the Admiral is still quite angry with me.” Rian rolled her eyes, then proceeded to tell Gail the pared down version of the DS9 experience, and editing out the aggravating news that Holly, the belligerent and psychopathic AI, was now XO of the new ship while Rian was stuck on the broken down hunk of junk. As she was wrapping up, she glanced at the chrono and realized it was time to eat something. She frowned as she unwrapped another MRE. Have no appetite to speak of at the moment, unless Rian was prompted by the alarm on her chrono, she’d forget to eat. What she wouldn’t give to have a craving for something, even if it was as distasteful as syto beans. As she bit into the tasteless biscuit, she wrapped up her summary, “I’m sorry, but if it’s a choice between your career or your life, I’m gonna pick your life any day of the week. What use is your career status if you’re not around to enjoy it? Besides, I was a security officer, not a doctor, damnit.” “Careful Rye. I tried that same argument with Captain Acura once and it just about landed me a one way ticket to Earth through the torpedo tubes. And he was the best man at my wedding.” Gail smirked. “Well, what do you suggest?” “What you’re good at – be tactful when you talk to her.” Rian sighed. “Yeah? Well, that’s a bit hard right now. My patience is paper thin. I’m so tired and….” She motioned with the half eaten biscuit. “…these don’t help.” “Drink. The. Tea. Rye. Ann.” Gail enunciated each syllable of the sentence both verbally and by tapping on the vid-screen. “Now.” She motioned to the replicator behind her. “Gail I---“ “Now.” Gail gave her a stern motherly look, probably perfected through use over the years on her now teenaged son. Rian pouted as she stood and plodded over to the replicator. She returned a few moments later with a cup, a pot of hot water and the bag of ingredients that Cdr Wydown had given her. Following the nutty woman’s instructions, Rian prepared one cup of steaming stinky smelling tea. “Gail this smells….bleck.” “I don’t care. Drink it.” “I’m not drinking this.” Rian wrinkled her nose. “Look missy, don’t make me come up there and pour it down your throat. I’ve still got quite a few favors out there I can call in. I can be at the UP before you all even engage the docking sequences.” And Rian knew she’d do it too. She’d known Gail , her twin sister and Evie since they were children. Gail was the older sister that Rian never had, and Gail seemed to treat the Trill no differently that she had own flesh and blood relatives. She could be bossy and pushy sometimes, but she always had Rian’s best interest at heart. Rarely was her advice wrong. “Oh Gaily, you should smell this.” Rian winced. “This is…words can’t describe this.” “Drink it.” Gail encouraged her. When Rian hesitated, she continued. “Chug it. Come on. The longer you delay, the worse you’ll make it out to be. Chug-a-lug, Kiwi.” Rian pinched her nose with one hand and started to drink the pungent concoction, while Ranau continued her toast. “Over the lips, and through the gums, watch out stomach, here it comes.” Rian’s gag reflects immediately kicked in. Her grimace must have been comical to Gail, as the human woman suddenly burst out laughing, but Rian didn’t care at the moment. She was too busy concentrating on not throwing up that vile tasting tea. She felt like she never had to work so hard for something in her entire life. After what seemed like an eternity, she turned back to the vid-screen. “Happy now?” She wanted to add ‘sadistic witch’ to that statement, but managed to edit her thoughts just in time. “Yep.” Gail grinned, then softened her expression. “It’ll be okay. Just hang in there.” “Does this ever get easier?” Rian slid the almost empty putrid cup away. “Just dump some sugar or honey in it next time.” “No. I mean serving as a direct report to someone you think is your friend? I’m not even sure that’s possible right now -trying to maintain both relationships. Right now I’m torn between Rian the Captain who wants to just do her job and get on with her life. And Rian the……whatever…..who wants to tell the woman to knock it off and stop being so unreasonable – she knows me better than that. Or at least I thought so.” “We fight the worse with the ones we’re friends with.” Gail shrugged again. “Kev and I were best friends until I moved into that chair.” Gail spoke about her former Captain. “Then all hell broke loose. I had a different role to play and neither one of us were prepared for how that would change the dynamics of our friendship. But if I can get over that hump, you certainly can. You were always the better peacemaker.” “Yeah, I’ll remind you of that statement later when I’m demoted back down to Ensign tomorrow when we get to the UP.” Rian responded sarcastically. “Welcome to Wonderland, Alice.” Gail grinned. “And don’t forget to drink the damn tea. Or else.”

Oh no, now Holly has started providing commentary on the Blu Prints. See what you did now, Blu? Give her an inch, and she takes the whole darn ship. ((LOL on the Prints :D ))

Nice job guys! Whoohoo! A new ship :D

Regrets Captain Rian "Kiwi" Kwai “I’m sorry, what in my resume indicated to you that I was medically trained? Was it the hand to hand combat scores, or hostage negotiations? Oh, I know! I bet it was the criminal forensics class. That makes me qualified to know the difference between a headache and a head injury.” “Let me remind you: I gave you a choice. The only ideas I could come up with were to go to sickbay or sit tight in that stupid yacht. If you had any other bright ideas, you damn well should have said something instead of blaming me for making a choice.” Three days later and those last words still haunted Captain Rian Kwai. Those short sentences were what she left the Admiral with before BluRox stormed off. Rian would have stomped off too but the woman had quite literally backed her into a corner at Quarks. Kwai may not have claws, but she did have bite when forced into a fight. Did she regret what she said? Heck yes. Who didn't when you have a fight with someone you thought of as a friend? Unfortunately Rian's pride was still stinging too much to trust herself to keep a civil tongue in her mouth to apologize just yet. She would, eventually. It wasn’t in her nature to hold grudges against people she cared about. Maybe when she saw Blu again in a few days she’d be ready to say sorry. Maybe if Blu was more sensible when she saw her. If she saw her... Joined gods, Rian was going to have to figure out how to diplomatically handle conflict with BluRox because she certainly wasn't going to let the woman browbeat her for doing her job. Not only had this outburst embarrassed Kwai because of the public display, but also because she had lost some credibility for being such a hot head this time. It was not very professional of her. Feeling so sick and physically worn out wasn't a valid excuse. Rian knew better. Three days of replaying the whole crappy affair in her head reminded the Trill that she needed to regain her self control and, well, follow her own damn advice. Suck it up Kwai. Just suck it up.
