SRR AylhrChapter Twenty: The Dev Prepare
[Dheno Office Khi, SRR Aylhr, Lloann'na Space]

Ullhan tr`Rondra finished packing up his equipment sack, "Reh am ready, Rekkhai." he said quietly to the older man sitting at the desk.

Arrain tr`Rok looked up from the ISD in his hand, "Ninte last two simulated insertions were almost compromised, he commented, his face less than happy, "Voi?"

tr`Rondra frowned, surprised that the Arrain would ask this, "Rekkhai, With respect. Reh am up to this test. Erien t'Charon requested that Reh take the mission. Reh believe she had faith in arham abilities," not wanting to appear confrontational before his superior Saehne-a he chose a different tact, "Reh shall na fail au, or the Leih. Reh am of the 'Dev'"

"As Reh do.....but.....Reh do na like sloppy work," rising and walking around desk he continued, "Ninte Death and the failure of the mission would na be of service to the Republic."

Standing tr'Rondra put his pack over one shoulder. He wanted this mission to prove himself within the 'Dev'. None had been on this type of mission before, the type of stealth mission that they trained long and hard for with Arrain tr'Rok, Erien t'Charon and the Leih. He knew he had to impress the 'Draes'Ira' or he would be replaced on the mission by one of the other nine 'Dev' Gekkha on the ship, "Reh shall na do the Republic a disservice Rekkhai. Reh am ready to do arham duty. The mission will be a success."

Thuryn tr`Rok looked at the Gekkha without intimating his thoughts. Then after a moment he spoke, shocking tr'Rondra slightly, "Now - review ninte orders for arvha!"

tr`Rondra's body snapped to a drill square Vaed'rae, "Rekkhai," he called out loudly, "Reh am to beam over to the enemy vessel, SRR t'Rakla. Once there Reh am to place a hidden Transponder Unit on board the ship, coupling it into the Warbird's power supply."

tr`Rok nodded, his face still a mask, as though contemplating whether he would be better off sending t'Charon in this Ullhan's place, "And in the event of discovery?"

tr`Rondra remained ramrod straight, "Reh am to avoid detection at all costs. Should Reh encounter any hostiles Reh am to use judicial force to prevent arham capture. If Reh am unable to, Reh will die for the Republic, and the Leih."

The one time Agent of the Tal'Shiar walked forward and leaned towards the young man, "If au are discovered, it is too late to fight, au will not leave any trace of ninte person - CLEAR?"

From his hand came a Lloann'su phaser locked on level 12. The 'Dev' had been trained in Ssouh weapon. This would vaporize his body entirely, should he turn the weapon on himself.

He knew the meaning of this, he'd only get one shot from the powerpack in the phaser, the shot which would signal his failure, and his fall into Areinnye. "IE REKKHAI!" he shouted, as much to steal some courage for himself than to acknowledge the Arrain's intent.

Picking up his equipment belt, containing Kaleh and Disruptor sheathes, he put the phaser in place and reached for the short Sienov behind him. The straight bladed weapon was the one he felt most comfortable with, ideal for fighting in enclosed spaces as it's stabbing action required little room to kill.

"The Mnhei'Sahe of the Aylhr goes with au," tr'Rok said quietly, placing a hand on the young mans shoulder, "Kholairlh-a deleth au! Station!"

As he spoke they heard the thweep of a comm unit then the voice of the Leih, "Arrain tr'Rok, are au ready to for the mission, We are almost in position."

tr`Rok replied, "Ie, arham Leih." and motioned for the door.

tr`Rondra slipped on the belt and prepared to follow the Arrain to the Transporter Room.
