[Oira, SRR Aylhr]
Thuryn sat on the Command Throne. t`Vrin had gone to discuss repair schedules with the
Paectum`Saehne-a. As he watched the view screen wondering how his son-in-law had done on the
planet surface. He waited patiently for the Leih's return to the Oira.
As he waited he read the ISD before him with a Dev members report on the Leih's movements on the
planet. If Conn'hae found out about Thuryn's breach of orders he would be in a difficult position,
but his past experiences lead him to trust no-one.
The Oira door slid open and his Leih strode purposefully across to the throne. The ageing warrior
came smartly to attention and reported. "Aefvadh Rekkhai, Oiuu'n Mnekha" as he stepped aside he
acknowledged the gesture for him to occupy the Rhaetelh'Saehne-a Throne in her absence. He
reported her whereabouts and settled into the seat.
The older Rihan noted a hint of worry on the face of the leih as he authorised shore leave for
those crew members with family homes on ch'Rihan. Thuryn gave the stock reply that he would relay
the orders to the RS at the first opportunity.
After checking their eta at the destination with the Gonnaiih`Saehne, the leih turned to tr`Rok.
"Have Erien t'Charon contact both Flight Command and the office of Khre'Riov tr'Paya to inform
them of our imminent
arrival. Reh shall be preparing arham self in arham Ready Room."
As his v'faelirh stood Thuryn hhrau`vaed`rae and saluted as protocol demanded. He did not like the
idea that a family member should have such worries. As he maintained his ever calm exterior he
noted a sneer on the face of Arrain tr`Randuiel, and resolved to help remove the sneer. Slowly he
looked away and returned to his reading of the ISD beside him. Luckily Conn'hae had not asked to
read it.
[a few minutes later]
tr`Rok looked at the ifvelhr station and the sad figure of tr`Randuiel. He crossed to the post.
"Voi do mnean have no diagnostics on file for the last dev days?? Ninte department is behind in
its work, or it has lost files......Correct it! Reh wish a full strategic readiness report before
we arrive at our destination. Also compile all current data on the Khre`Riov tr`Paya, marked for
my eyes only. Authorisation Strike Wing Hdael`Ifvelhr`Saehne io io red."
If this did not make him work for a change and kept the sneer busy then Thuryn was losing his
touch. He crossed to the Ready Room door and pressed the entry chime...........
