Byblos

I suppose it is now time I trust the Feddies

I suppose it is now time I trust the Feddies.

 

This was an interesting mission. Three crewmen, and not much to go on. Shalin was piloting the shuttle in, and he had come to know him as the Comanche Creek's Helmsman. Dr. Khloe sitting adjacent to Byblos was also on board and that was it. Just the three of them.

 

Byblos was told in the Hanger Bay the Marines were not going on this mission to the elder Harrington Station. Why he was not told. Why just the three present in the shuttle he did not know.

 

Was this some sort of a test?

 

If it was... it certainly not fair for Shalin and Dr. Khloe. Byblos could sneak into places, and sometimes create a mess of certainly undesired individuals he had been ordered to kill or take captive. But all those jobs were done on intelligence he had acquired on his targets and where he was going. And certainly not by arriving on their doorstep the way they were via remote command to open the Aging stations shuttlebay.

 

But Shalin and Dr. Khloe did not show any apparent anxiety over this mission. Did they know something he did not. Most likely not. Was it a Feddie thing? They just fed off each other's courage and skills.

 

What was it then? The Feddies certainly seemed to work better as unit...a crew as they say. Their XO certainly impressed him the other day, she seemed fearless. Crash the Captain hosted meetings of minds in crew briefings. Ideas were exchanged. The same thing was the case with Vega and his Marines.

 

Teamwork was a strength Byblos was unfamiliar with..or rarely with. He was a lone operator for the Black Kris...given the tools he needed to do his job. And Byblos took the spoils.

 

The Feddies did not operate like this. Yet they were so few at the moment just three.

 

Maybe there was also another thing at work ...trust. Dr. Khloe and Mr. Shalin trusted their commander's orders and, given the way the feddies operated Byblos thought the Commander put her/his team safety at a forefront. Especially these two.

 

Byblos had to think....these guys barely know me.

 

But they did know the Station...it was theirs once was it?

 

They just came from a Big Ship Named the Comanche Creek....just 15 minutes away.

 

Could Commander Wesley and Captain Crash of irradiated the station to detect lifeforms.

 

No wonder why Khloe and Shalin were more at ease then he thought. They trusted their shipmates to protect them, even if they were not with them physically with their lives.

 

Feddies looked after each other. He had seen that on the flight deck as well as they fixed the Captain's fighter...he did see that female crewman actually climb into an engine duct as another was in the cockpit fixing things. Feddies trusted each other. That trust must of resonated through their entire command structure.

 

Perhaps working alone was not always the best thing to do. Shalin was going to have to do some of the electronics work on this mission. Byblos had not yet figured out Federation technology ( although he had dissected a tricorder which utterly made Lt. Wrench mad). Maybe Khloe was here just in case he accidentally fried himself on some stripped electronic device onboard the station.

 

So in order to get along with these Feddies better he had to trust them. And that began with thinking the Command Staff of the Comanche Creek thought the three members of the away team could accomplish the task at hand..

 

Just what has been done to the Old Harrington Station?
