[Corridor, SRR Aylhr]
Dais'erie'Riov Conn'Hae i'Caernu tr'Rok marched down the hallway
flanked by his two Senior Saehne-a. They headed rapidly for the Oira,
the inspection of the Etreh'rhe (Engineering Room) being cut short as
an urgent message came through from Galae Command. Crew members
jumped to get out of their way as the trio filled the corridors, the
look on the face of each a stone-like mask of anger and
concentration.
Arrain tr'Rok ordered a pair of Saehne-a to await the next turbolift
as Conn'Hae pushed one aside and turned to face the door. He took a
deep breath as tr'Rok and EnArrain t'Vrin followed him in. The
Hhdael`Ifvhelhr'Saehne ordered the lift to head for the Oira,
technically he was of the lowest rank, and therefore protocol
dictated he give the order.
No one spoke on the journey to the Oira and when the doors opened
Conn'Hae was the first one out on deck, "Report!" he barked to
erie'Arrain t'Mneui, the Daise'Khhae'Saehne (Chief Comm Officer).
t'Mneui jumped to attention and saluted, "Rekkhai, the message came
in from the Office of the Galae'Leih on Coriel VII. A report for au
was attached to the main message, encrypted for ninte caernu (Eyes)
only. The main message stated merely that the Thi'Morhhae'Vastam (3rd
Strike Wing) was to stand ready for Emergency Operations along the
Neutral Zone."
Conn'Hae frowned, "That is all?" he queried, after acknowledgment of
this he ordered tr'Rok to inform the Wing to prepare to move out of
their berths. Giving t'Vrin command of the Oira he headed for his
Ready Room to view the Orders he had been sent.
[Leih's Ready Room, SRR Aylhr]
Conn'Hae took his seat and ordered the computer to decrypt his orders
and put them on his screen. His face blanched markedly as he read the
words before him, a snarl appearing to mar his features.
~~~Incoming Transmission from Galae'Tho Command~~~
On SD240107.30 a group of Terrorists took control of the Oira of the
SRR t'Rakla, based at Koahht Versailles in Lloann'mhrahel
(Federation) Space. The Terrorists used an Awards Ceremony aboard the
ship to gain access to the Controls and open the Cargo Bay doors to
kill the majority of the crew, before stealing the t'Rakla and
running from the Koahht.
Initial reports from the 55th RSR Detachment confirm the deaths of
over five thousand five hundred Rihannsu crew men. The Detachment
Commander has also disappeared from the Koahht with a traitor who
defected to the Lloann'na during the recent War.
It is highly suspected that the Terrorists were in the employ of
the 'Wild Hunt' and may have had Zakdorn connections.
Thi'Morhhae'Vastam (3rd Strike Wing) is ordered to make for the
Neutral Zone, track down the ship and destroy it. It is preferred
that ships do not cross the border, but if this is unavoidable then
authorization is given by the Galae'Leih. The ship must be destroyed
at all costs.
~~~~Transmission Ends~~~~
Conn'Hae sat and stared at the screen for what seemed like eternity.
Up until now the Wild Hunt had killed a few Dheno'Saehne-a, blown up
some buildings and made a few half hearted attacks on Rihannsu
shipping in the New Territories. Now they had escalated the feud to
another level, an old hatred which always burned low in the pit of
the stomach of any loyal Rihannsu Warrior suddenly blazed with white
hot intensity. His hatred of the Lloann'na was so intense it almost
hurt at that moment.
Using ch'Vash'rek (Rihannsu Martial Art) techniques he quenched the
fire, as Leih of the Wing he could not allow his hatred to rule his
thoughts, that was how Kll'inghann-a (Klingons) lived their lives.
When his thoughts were calm once again Conn'Hae tapped his Comm unit.
"All Daise Saehne-a report to the Conference Room immediately."
Wiping the orders from the computers memory the solemn Conn'Hae left
his desk and went for a glass of Aylihl, downing it swiftly and
whispering a prayer to the Kholairlh-a (Elements) for the dead of the
t'Rakla, now gone on to Vorta'vor. The Lloann'sa who formed
this 'Wild Hunt' would pay for their crimes, in blood and blood
again.
