3 Strange Days

[Saek tr'Vosh 0]

Vosh stood in Dheno...waiting for the worst. He was starting to believe his parents had been right about his career choice. The past few days had been less than stellar, to be sure. And now...yet another verbal assault from the new bane of his existence...t'Vixen. Had she somehow monitored his movements...or worse, had she overheard his conversation with Lahir? Na, she did na have time to set up the necessary surveillance..and besides, he was na that important. Just a convenient whipping boy. Na, she had just caught him slacking..and now came the punishment.

 

The doors to Dheno slid open, and there she was. It was just like her to make him wait to be chastised. Then..the strangest thing happened. She spoke...

 

"I have been relieved of command...au are now acting Daise Dheno..." The words seem to cause t'Vixen pain. Then Vosh noticed that Vixen had been on the receiving end of some type of assault. That was more than likely the cause of the pain in her voice...pity. Vosh almost didnt hear the last part. He was so busy thanking the creator that he missed the part about her training him. When he realized she would still be training him...and that he was na rid of her...the thrill was gone.

 

The two officers set off for the HIC and Voshs education in t'Vixen's combat skills. He was sure that his slim build had her convinced that he would na put up much of a fight. He smiled..thinking she was na the first to find out otherwise...but that was another story. Daise Dheno...the title did feel nice although he knew it probably would na be for long. As he stepped into the HIC he wondered if things were taking a turn for the better. T'Vixen barked her program to the computer and immediately, a dozen Klihannsu appeared around them. Na, things were definitely NA looking up. Voshes hand slid slowly to his Kaleh as he prepared for the fight of his life.
