[Ready Room, SRR Aylhr]
Dais'erie'Riov Conn'Hae i'Caernu tr'Rok took his seat behind the desk
in his Ready Room. Arrain tr'Rok and Farien t'Charon had followed him
into the room and now stood before him at attention. He waved them to
an informal At Ease position, not wasting time by permitting them
seating. Had the Farien not been with them then he would have more
than likely offered his v'Di'ranov (Adopted Father), and Hru'hfirh
(House Lord) of the Rok House, a chair and a glass of the Rhennish
both preferred over the harsher tasting Aylihl.
"The chase is on. The t'Rakla will be ours within a short few hours,"
he paused for a moment, thinking how he would word his next
statement, "If we desire to capture the Warbird."
The Saehne-a standing before him both raised eyebrows questioningly,
though neither would ever say a word against their Leih. "To my way
of thinking it may be better for the ship to be allowed to escape."
Arrain tr'Rok came to the realisation of what Conn'Hae's plan
was, "Reh see an opportunity for io of the Dev to finally be of
proper service to the Republic. Na??"
"My thought's exactly, Arrain. What is the status of the 'Dev'? How
quickly can we have one of them disguised and put onto that ship?"
The older Rihan thought for a few moments and looked the young man in
the eye, " Reh will have tr`Rordra prepared within the day arham
Leih." He turned to t`Charon, "Au will liaise with the Taeron in
having his face altered, if necessary, understood?" The Farein nodded
silently. "Reh will brief him and complete his training in the mean
time Rekkhai," as he turned back to Conn'Hae, his faelirh (adopted
son) and spouse of his only daughter.
Conn'Hae thought for a moment taking in the information and assessing
the chances of success, "We will need more information before
crossing into the Neutral Zone. Farein t'Charon, before we can cross
we will require permissions from the Galae'Leih. Relay a subspace
message back to Khre'Riov tr'Paya requesting such. Once we have the
permission au will be charged with finding out the number and race of
our enemies. The information au gather must be given to the Arrain
here so that he can prepare the 'Agent' quickly. All the ships
gathered here about can easily outpace a D'Deridex, so we must make
it look like we plan to destroy them. Thuryn, will au be able to get
into the t'Rakla's computers?"
Once again the eyes of the older man lit up, "Ie, Reh believe Reh
have access codes that will override the t`Rakla's command protocols
and allow me to create a blind spot," looking at the Leih's
expression of surprise at such a revelation, " arham memory of things
long past is beginning to return. Au understand, Reh am sure."
"We will need to feed false information to the enemies sensors when
the time is right. Au are both aware of ninte duties, go about the
tasks given. Do na raise the suspicions of the crew, especially where
the 'Dev' are concerned. Reh would prefer to keep our team between
ourselves for the present."
The pair raised their fists in a traditional Rihannsu salute before
turning in unison, and marching from the Ready Room. Conn'Hae sat for
some time thinking about his plan. Crossing the Neutral Zone was not
a problem, if tr'Paya gave them permission. He should have little
problem from the Lloann'na, as they would remain cloaked as much as
was possible. Also the thieves of the t'Rakla probably wouldn't care
for a Federation Starship to locate them. The Lloann'na frowned on
mass murder somewhat, even if it was of a crew of Romulans, as they
called the Declared. If the Rihannsu had heard of the deaths of 5,500
Lloann'na they would na have blinked an eyelid, but when the
situation was reversed, as it was now.... he chuckled, the most
recent enemy of the Republic would search just as hard for the
perpetrators of the crime as he was now. Unfortunately for whoever
had taken the Warbird, the 3rd (Belian) Strike Wing had found them
first.
He blinked as his comm unit thweeped, EnArrain t'Vrin reporting and
requesting his presence back on the Oira.
