[SB Hama]
Tr`Kuro steps through the airlock onto the deck of SB Hama. He immediately
begins to retrace his steps as he recalled from his numerous missions to the
starbase. He wandered the halls recovering from the mental strain of piloting
the Ullho`Isha. He was set on auto, wandering aimlessly, collecting his
thoughts. Suddenly he snapped out of his trance, looking up at a Rihannsu
woman, recognizing her instantly. She seemed to completely ignore him, but he
couldn`t help being disturbed a bit by recognizing this person. He pauses in
the hall looking after her as she walks away. He couldn`t see her taking the
safety off on her disruptor, but that didn`t matter. He knew her name.
Tr`Kuro> Arrain t`Ren?
T`Ren> Vriha`Erien actually. I am in the Galae. And au is the CO of the
Ullho`Isha, rha? ::continues walking::
Tr`Kuro>::comtemplates her reply, catching up to her briskly:: Ie, and au
know that because?
T`Ren> ::shrugs:: I issued your docking clearance and noted Pranara had left
that ship, the woman seems to be in your shadow often enough.
Tr`Kuro> That may be. ::his memory jogged a bit:: You are the lass Raith
talked about. I believe I shipped you weapons once.
T`Ren> Ie, au did. But I believe au and I did na meet- as erie`riov tr`Danlek
was in command of my deployment at that time ::looks off a bit distracted::
now that au mentions it, that was the last time I was on assignment on the
Hama. ::trails off:: well then, what do au want?
Tr`Kuro> Nothing, just wondering about au, seeing as au are one of Raith`s
old friends. ::loses track of his thoughts, following her unconsciously
through the airlock::
t`Ren> ::mouths 'old friends' and keeps walking:: I guess au could say that.
more like the person that keeps the erie`Riov out of trouble ::arches
eyebrow::
tr`Kuro>::shrugs, noting the blood still under his nails::
t`Ren> ::notices the blood too but either doesn`t care or has more under her
own nails::
The two officers arrive on the SNR Ts`Irk`s oira and Ren takes her post
at Ops. The CO, a tall and rough edged Revellion, fails to notice the
Arrain`s entrance.
Tr`Kuro>::looks around the oira, his eyes finally resting on tr`Kunto::
Tr`Kunto> ::still doesn`t pay any attention. Is busy reading ISDs and
communicating with his Helmswoman::
tr`Kuro>::grins and taps him on the shoulder lightly::
tr`Kunto> ::stiffens up, seeing Kuro reflected off his VR projector:: (w) au
again. What are AU DOING HERE!
tr`Kuro>::still smiling:: Just passing through. I see au remember me
tr`Kunto> Ie. ::eyes Kuro`s rank bars:: and I see au is an Arrain now.. quite
a leap for a terrorist ::smirks::
tr`Kuro> As I recall I got my first one of these for offing your CO and
capturing au
tr`Kunto> ::frowns and doesn`t reply:: Janka! Status on the Kalen?
t`Janka> Their system is stable- the umbilical may be cut. erie`riov tr`Lar
requests that we take up formation as soon as possible.
tr`Kunto> ::nods then looks back at Kuro:: if au do na mind?
tr`Kuro> We`ll be seeing each other soon enough. ::nods to t`Ren::
t`Ren> ::nods back and beams him off the ship:: situation stable rekkhai..
orders?
tr`Kunto> Na.. just take us to the rendezvous.
[Elsewhere]
Tr`Kuro checks the ship manifest to see whence Raith had gone. Finding the
J`tol absent under his command he assumed he was to report to Ryu. He
wondered if he really felt as If he should bug the erie`riov with the
meaningless banter that would ensue. He decided against it, in desperate need
of rest and a shower, noting the dried blood still encrusted on his uniform.
He wandered back onto the Ullho`Isha and made his rounds. After checking in
on Pranara in the med bay, he went to his personel quarters (being the former
CO`s) and disappeared for a few hours.
