RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 51709.28 - SEASON 22

After speaking with N'Dak about her plans to dial things back a bit to make sure we are covering the fleet's flank and not get surprised from behind, t'Vatrix went off to speak with Koga and Pexil about supplies and mission logistics of some smaller missions. NDak had taken on updating the Daise Maenak about our plans. We pick up here.

KhreRiovtRex: :: with Koga and Pexil:: So na other difficulties fulfilling our requests or vice versa, assisting the shipyard's needs?

Lerak trPexil: A little haggling here and there. Engineering assistance comes in handy.

STSF Seiben: Not too much, rekkhai. I've not had many difficulty getting what was required. On my end, at least. ::looks to Pexil::

m_k_tksa: ::in medical on Talon::

NDak: ::Making his way towards Talon's medical bay, a place he had often attempted to avoid when he was a regular member of her crew::

Lerak trPexil: The mood here is...strange. I cannot place my mind on what it is though.

STSF Seiben: Hm. Yeah, au know.. these space stations. They all seem to run in their own peculiar way\

NDak: ::Rounding a corner he entered medical, glancing around for t'Ksa::

m_k_tksa: ::helping to put away supplies, bobbing her head to the music that io of her staff members who has piped it in::

Lerak trPexil: Is there something au wanted KhreRiov?

 

NDak: ::Io of the disheren medics direct him towards the supply area, where he was surprised to see t'Ksa bopping her head to music.::

KhreRiovtRex: The mood is pensive. They hid ships here in reserve after our ship movements began to be questioned by the Tal Shiar and they somehow got the Fvillah involved in moving our ships to poor defensive positions. Had Galae na hidden enough ships here, we'd have not had that back up that arrived to help us regain ch'Rihan and defeat those defensive platforms.

NDak: ::He cleared his throat, in attempt to na startle her::

KhreRiovtRex: They are worried is all, many of their ships have been sent to the home world for it's defense, and they are a bit lighter out here at the moment, sitting midway between Othan and home.

m_k_tksa: ::io of her staff members taps her on the arm then points at the door where N'Dak has come through::: Jolan tru. ::surprised, but not as embarrassed as she once would have been, hands the box she was working on to the io how caught her attention and dusts her hands off as she approaches N'Dak:: Can I help au, Rekkhai?

KhreRiovtRex: We've decided that we'll station out of this location for a while and direct short-range missions, working to shore up our defenses in this and the surrounding sectors for now.

STSF Seiben: ::nods and listens::

 

NDak: ::He smiled, genuinely:: Jolan tru. Na need to call me rekkhai.

Lerak trPexil: That must be it. :: glances at his ISD, then back ::

NDak: I first wanted to thank au for lending me some au medical staff for the Stinger. They are very well trained.

KhreRiovtRex: Ie, so let's also keep on their good side, at least the commander here is a friend and will help us as much as possible.

m_k_tksa: You're welcome. ::tugs her uniform tunic down::

KhreRiovtRex: We should still be ahead of the ships we were chasing, as we were able to cut across this sector while they had to go around. I'd still like to try and cut off a few of them. If na, at least some missions to some of the planets in these systems, to make sure na of their ilk are there causing similar problems to what we just put an end to on that last planet

NDak: Secondly, the Khre'Riov asked me to brief au on our status, as well the plans, rhae the immediate future.

Lerak trPexil: The Stinger should help in recon.

m_k_tksa: ::sighs, motions for him to follow her to her the Daise'Maenak office:: Let's go have some tea, ie?

NDak: ::Nods:: Hann'yyo

 

KhreRiovtRex: Ie, I am counting on that, so we may have some short missions just using it, as it is less detectable than we are

STSF Seiben: I hope so as well.

KhreRiovtRex: What I'm going to be asking of you both for some time, is logistical help both from Helm/ops, and science

STSF Seiben: Of course, I shall be happy to assist in any way I can.

KhreRiovtRex: I'll be trusting au to be well versed in the maps of this region and any important planets or shipping/communications hubs that we must make sure are secured

Lerak trPexil: They must tune their cloaking device.

m_k_tksa: ::leads the way until they enter the office, then she motions for him to take a seat while she moves to the replicator to procure some tea:: Sweet or bitter, N'Dak?

NDak: Bitter. ::He said taking a seat:: I have never preferred hot tea to sweet.

NDak: The Lloann'an ::he curled his lips:: apparently like sweet tea a good deal.

STSF Seiben: Yes, I agree

NDak: With something called f'ried chi'cken. ::Shaking his head:: How they were ever able to even achieve space flight, let alone a dominate position, rhae the quadrant I will never know.

 

KhreRiovtRex: I'm na speaking of just orbital hubs, but planetary hubs as well. this sector alone, Justarus, is quite large. There are quite a few important planetary shipping hubs that we much control. I want you two to assist me with mapping out the most vulnerable, that we can help with setting up defenses. The shipyard here, has been busy building several new orbital defense platforms which will need to be launched na only here, but at some of these outer worlds in these sectors.

m_k_tksa: ::place the orders:: I hear the Lloann'na also add citric acid or lactose additives to their tea. ::pulls the two cups out of the replicator when finished, offering him his before moving to a seat of her own::

KhreRiovtRex: I'm going to trust au both, with assistance in the deployment, and helping to tune the mechanisms to protect the worlds

NDak: ::He took the tea, and sipped it lightly before nodding;: Ie, ie. Most uncivilized.

KhreRiovtRex: if au remember they tried to turn the ones at chRihan back upon our own world. I want au.... looking at Pexil, to work on the programing so that can na be over ridden without approval from our command (specifically myself and KhreRiov tr'Dar here at the Shipyards for now)

m_k_tksa: So, now that we are away from the prying ears of the rest of the maenkenn, what is it that au wish to brief me on?

NDak: We have met with the stations commander. He seems trust worthy enough.

KhreRiovtRex: Are au able and up to this type of programming knowledge trPexil?

KhreRiovtRex: Be honest, if na, I'm sure tTemarr would be able to assist or provide direction, but this is io of our utmost priorities for h'nah

 

m_k_tksa: Trustworthy is a term that's relative when it comes to Talon. Did the Khre'Riov threaten him or attempt to kill him?

NDak: Na. She seemed quite at ease around him.

Lerak trPexil: Ie, should na be an issue. I can always ask t'Temarr for assistance.

NDak: Apparently he was a friend of tr'Vatrix.

KhreRiovtRex: Menkha tr'Pexil. Au both have done good work today.... are au both ready to take a break, and grab something to eat?

STSF Seiben: Ie, I am rekkhai. A little rest would be nice.

m_k_tksa: :::just sips from her tea:: Well, that's different.

NDak: Ie. ::Taking a sip as well::

Lerak trPexil: Ie... a drink if nothing else.

NDak: Our position here is safe, but it is by no means completely secure.

KhreRiovtRex: Menkha... I know a good place to eat that's na far from us. Something fresh and na from the etrehh will be a pleasant change. Shall we h'na?

NDak: I know au were na thrilled about going headlong chasing after the enemy deeply into their space.

m_k_tksa: That is true. :::guarded, waiting for the next shoe to drop::

NDak: So au will be pleased, I think.

Lerak trPexil: Ie, let's. Will t'Temarr na be joining us?

NDak: After considering our position, as well as that of the fleet. The Khre'Riov has determined that we will na be, as au called, rushing into a suicide mission.

STSF Seiben: Ie, sounds good

KhreRiovtRex: Perhaps hrrau a bit, she is working rhae something for me at the siuren

NDak: Though I know it pains her as she wishes to bring them swift justice, she believes that we should secure our position further in this sector before we take any further action into Othan controlled space.

KhreRiovtRex: Ie, let us go....I could use something to eat myself

 

m_k_tksa: ::raises a brow:: Really now?

NDak: ::Nods over his tea:: Ie.

NDak: I thought au would be... pleasantly surprised.

m_k_tksa: Surprised, yes. Skeptical, most certainly.

KhreRiovtRex: Come, we'll take my flitter..... That way we can also go do a visual evaluation of the defense systems of the shipyards and this star system after we've eaten

NDak: ::He nodded:: Ie, I know she has often been ruled by her passions as of late, but this was her decision. And, a sound tactical io at that.

NDak: We will use the Stinger as an outrider to search and assist the Talon in locating any Othan veruul still in the sector, and assist the locals in securing their holdings.

KhreRiovtRex: :: looks at the two of them, wondering if they are na sure eating with her, or if the crew were still worried about if she were a clone, or a madwoman, as some gossip she's overheard::

STSF Seiben: ::follows along::

m_k_tksa: ::sets her tea cup down:: Why does this conversation sound like au are trying to sell me something?

NDak: ::he smirked ever so slightly:: Am I that transparent?

Lerak trPexil: :: Walks with t'Vatrix ::

Lerak trPexil: In all of this madness I often forget to eat well.

m_k_tksa: Any more so and I would confuse au with a viewport. ::gives him a look down her nose::

NDak: ::He grinned sheepishly at the glance, feeling a bit like old times when he had been the disheren::

Lerak trPexil: Then when home, err, my home, my mother could not stop feeding Nalia, t'Temarr, and myself.

STSF Seiben: Ooh, what'd au have?

m_k_tksa: ::rubs her forehead:: So what is au want from me?

 

NDak: I know this has been a difficult time for everyone. And I know that au have concerns about the Khre'Riov, au made that clear the last we spoke on ch'Rihan.

KhreRiovtRex: :: stops and presses the codeds to open the flitter hatch:: Get in... I will fly the ship

STSF Seiben: ::nods and steps inside::

Lerak trPexil: :: Gets in :: What did we NA have?

STSF Seiben: Sounds nice

m_k_tksa: And? ::waiting for him to get on with it::

Lerak trPexil: The tension between Nalia and t'Temarr could be cut with a... au know.

KhreRiovtRex: :: waits for them to get while she gets clearances and updates destination::

STSF Seiben: Ie, I can see that being a problem

Lerak trPexil: :: Sits ::

NDak: I will na pry into au personal relationship with her, that is na'qui my place; but she is trying, I think.

STSF Seiben: ::settles in::

KhreRiovtRex: :: overhears Pexil and wonders if he is a veruul putting both his interests together like that?::

 

m_k_tksa: Trying with whom exactly?

Lerak trPexil: I did bring some of the family wine with me on Talon. Stored well of course. Nalia liked it too much I think.

NDak: Everyone, I think. Her passions burn, but she is trying to control them for the good of all of us, for the empire.

NDak: It cannot be easy to have such power and hold back on it. I cannot say that if I were her, I would na be charging blindly towards those fvadt.

Lerak trPexil: They are still looking for her family. Either they went into hiding or... well.. plans are in place for either event.

KhreRiovtRex: :: Launches the ship and heads to the small town she had been telling them about::

NDak: So, I think it encouraging that she took the initiative in deciding to restrain that passion and instead chose to take the more sensible, reasoned course here.

KhreRiovtRex: Au will enjoy the food here. I've always liked this small establishment.

NDak: ::He sighed, taking a drink:: It is strange for me to be her confidant, h'nah if I am being honest.

Lerak trPexil: Good to hear. Every community should have one.

STSF Seiben: I agree. There's a nice one near my mountain villa. I like going there.

m_k_tksa: If that is what au are selling, I'm sorry to tell au, N'Dak, I'm not buying it. Especially when I hear rumors that she's smeared the blood of the dead on her person during our last visit. As to her trying with everyone? Phffft. ::gets up and takes her cup to the replicator:

Lerak trPexil: :: to t'Vatrix :: Do au get to pilot much?

m_k_tksa: She may be reserved now because au and Laehval are able to reign her in. But I don't expect that to hold.

KhreRiovtRex: :: lands the flitter:: Here we are..... This will give us a time to sit and discuss some of our plans.

 

NDak: Au could help us.

Lerak trPexil: A change of venue can be invigorating.

KhreRiovtRex: :: turns to Pexil:: Na as much anymore, that's why I enjoy this small ship.

m_k_tksa: Ha! Help au how?

NDak: Au have known her longer than either of us.

NDak: And more than either Laehval and I, are actually trained in helping those suffering from wounds.

m_k_tksa: So? She na longer listens to me. Nor speaks to me. Any attempt I make to clarify instructions or point out issues, I"m branded a traitor. At this point, the only help I can give au is to try to keep everyio else alive when she goes off on these suicide missions.

NDak: That does na sound like the t'Ksa I knew.

m_k_tksa: This isn't the Talon au knew.

NDak: ::Standing:: Perhaps it is na.

m_k_tksa: If I could help, I would. But I can't, I've tried, but nothing has worked. I'm sorry to disappoint au.

Lerak trPexil: :: Clutches his ISD's he's been carrying around since at the quartermaster's.

STSF Seiben: ::looks around:: Looks nice

NDak: Hann'yyo for the tea, at any rate.

KhreRiovtRex: Pexil...leave those on the flitter.....

KhreRiovtRex: we are here to eat, and talk..... those can wait

NDak: Though, I would ask au to consider it like a treatment. The t'Ksa I knew

NDak: The t'Ksa I knew would na give up so easily. She did na give up when her first attempt to treat an illness failed, why so easily h'nah.

STSF Seiben: ::Paused::

KhreRiovtRex: iOOPS, SORRY NDak, go ahead and finish your sentence, I'll edit it in

KhreRiovtRex: Hann'yyo, I’ll move that before the pause,

KhreRiovtRex: Nice work all, Leah should be back next week, going to check with tA to see if she has an update on this new shift of her's and see if it's going to be permanent or not

Lerak trPexil: Quite a late shift

m_k_tksa: I gotta go guys. See you all next week

KhreRiovtRex: yea,

KhreRiovtRex: Ok, so Crew Dismissed, and we'll see you all next week
