[Rhean t'Valae 0]

Rhean finished tossing the grain sacks over the supplies and stepped back to consider her handiwork. "I think that's as concealed as we're going to make it, rekkhai," she said. "We'll just have to hope na io has a burning desire for freshly-ground flour."

 

"Freshly ground flour or anthing esle we have. Where was the last place you saw NDak?"

 

"We were talking, then I looked away for a moment -- just a moment! -- and he was gone." She made a noise of disgusted frustration. "Is the man an aehallh, to move so quietly?"

 

"Sometimes I wonder myself. He has done that to me several times "

 

"He was most determined to find tr'Psichore, so he must have headed back to the facility. Some of au saw Psichore while tr'Khev and I were examining the ship, did au na?"

 

"We did. He was in the presence of the Tal Shiar. Something is na right here. That's why we must go back to the facility and find them both."

 

Rhean nodded and turned to peer out the tiny windows of the silo. "Na io looking," she reported. "Io or both of them are working for the Tal Shiar, au think?"

 

T'Aehjae walked over to t'Valae and stood behind her. "I have an odd feeling that they both are. NDak would na surprise me, but Psichore is a shock," she said, shaking her head.

 

"Na the type?" T'Valae peeked out the window one more time before cautiously trying the door.

 

"Na, he is the type, Just with him being our XO. I mean he just doesn't sound like he would be a traitor." T'Aehjae added, "Do au see anyio approaching?"

 

She nodded. "And he did save the khre'Riov.... Na, all is quiet. We can go." Rhean frowned, then. "I do na understand all this," she complained honestly. "Plots within plots, and the only constant seems to be that everyio wants tr'NDak and t'Rexan dead."

 

They begin walking back towards the facility. "I have been in trouble with t'Rexan but I do na wish her yy'll. I now respect her and what she stands for." Aehjae looked around watching the surroundings. "I'm afraid we will have to find them both."

 

"I think I was just as soon na catch her attention," t'Valae admitted, "but we're all still alive, and given this ship's missions, that's surprising. I don't understand why everyio wants to kill both of them. Though I grant, if he is anything like his brother, tr'NDak is annoying enough to want dead."

 

Rhean pointed down towards the facility, where a few people were walking aimlessly. "Perhaps the side door, this time."

 

T'Aehjae looked down at the facility. "Ie, a side door may give us a bit more of an edge. We must use catuion. The same rules go. T'Rexan will have our hides if we are caught."

 

"Au're the expert," t'Valae acknowledged. "This is all... very new to me."

 

"Lets move." t'Aehjae started walking down towards the facility hoping and praying to the elements that na io caught them. Rhean hurried along in her wake, hyper-alert and hoping she didn't look like an idiot starting at every noise.
