[Kalen]
Tr''Kuro sits at his terminal on the oria, squinting at the dim console. He taps out a few minor commands and smiles. The Kalen had some of the best weapon systems in the empire. Tactical capability was at 87 percent with no repairs. He locked in the safe gaurds and stood to leave the oira to start his own repairs on the damaged systems. As he turned to leave the oira. He paused, looking at the command throne. Idran was perched there proudly, stroking the arm rests. Kuro tilted his head, being somewhat perplexed, somewhat irate. He had heard Kandeen's remarks (and subsequently a few of his thoughts) and he was not pleased. Ignoring this transgression, Kuro turned and walked off of the oira.
Kuro stood in the turbo lift, glaring at the doors. He knew someone was getting on and he knew the conversation that would ensue would be unpleasant. The lift came to a halt and the doors slide open- tr'Nerik walked through the doors wearing a corporate smile.
tr'Nerik> Jolan tru, Arrain.
tr'Kuro> We haven't had need to speak, we don't now. I have things to do and you have crew to demoralize.
tr'Nerik> I'm doing my job, Arrain and futhermore, I am following orders.
tr'Kuro> Well, Arrain ::emphasizing his rank:: you tell Kandeen I am loyal to Raith. He is the only Rei'Krannsu I take orders from and his order to me was to respect Kandeen and I shall- but if I he thinks for a moment that I am beneath him or that I am impressed by his rank, he will not like the results.
The doors slide open and tr'Kuro walks out of the lift, his empty eyes still locked onto Nerik as the doors slide shut. As he turns to continue repairs, his com badge chirps.
tr'Elq> +taps+ Elq to Kuro
tr'Kuro>+taps+ Ie go ahead
tr'Elq> +taps+ We have things to discuss, meet me in my quarters in ten
tr'Kuro> +taps+ Make it twenty, Kuro out.
He continues walking down the hall, he stops at a panel and pulls a repair kit out, slapping the doors shut. After a moment, he notes another figure in the hall. He quickly recognizes the familair saunter and the characteristic style of Remi.
tr'Remi>::grumbling angrily to himself::He thinks he can..... i''llll, he's askin'.....
tr'Kuro> ::looks over at him curiously:: I see you've talked with Nerik.
tr'Remi>Ohh, hey Ku.
tr'Kuro>::nods:: Still on repair detail?
tr'Remi>Aye, I serve my ship.
tr'Kuro>::shrugs:: As do I. I see you decided not to fix the weapons
systems.
tr'Remi>Self restraint.
tr'Kuro>::smirks:: alright, well, I'll get to it. Keeps me off the oira.
tr'Remi>::nods understanding totally::I'm sorry Ku, I'm still a bit fazzled after that 'encounter.' Let's walk and talk.
tr'Kuro> ::drops the repair kit into another panel:: Right, I'm on my way to see Elq anyway- we might as well all have a little chat.
tr'Remi>Aye, Raith hasn't been gone a week and the entire crew is just about to shout mutiny.
tr'Kuro> ::smirks:: I have my orders. I will tolerate the Acting CO, for now.
tr'Remi>You havn't had your interview. Nerik tries to air out all your old skeletons.
tr'Kuro> I've said what had to be said to that one.
The two officers continue talking as they enter tr'Elq's quarters.
