[SD 239905.13 - ch`Revellion]
..."Good... tr'Nerik." She smiled gradually, the wrinkles edging around her mouth. Her face seemed as if fixing up her briefing to sound pleasant.
He smiled back, inside, disdainfully.
"You have your orders."
The screen blinked out.
Raith> ::looks over to tr`Remi's image:: They did na detect you?
Remi> ::shakes head:: Na. Don't know why they even bother communicating
on the ship... all traffic is routed through the com array- and since
that is so vital to squadron combat formation we keep it monitored
constantly.
Raith> ::nods:: Ie. Menkha Eredh, Au have done well.
Remi> ::grins:: Hann`yyu. Remi out
Remi's image fades out leaving Raith alone at his desk. Raith looks up,
a questioning look on his face, and nods to the officer across the desk
from him.
Etr`Elenhh> ::nods back:: He will be watched by the network at all
times. Au have no worries erie`Riov... You position in the Tal`Shiar is
not in any danger.
Raith> Menkha... I would hate for this to become an unfortunate
incident. Nerik and I go back a bit- but if he try's to compromise my
post I will na hesitate to eliminate him.
tr`Elenhh> Ie. Ronga and other supporters in the order would not
disapprove... Au have been to valued an asset to them. But, even they do
not trust au and I don't blame them.
Raith>::grins:: Na, nor do I. I have proven to be useful -na loyal.
Regardless, I still hold the rank of major in the Tal`Shiar... though
this is not general knowledge even for them... So na. I am not worried
about Nerik.
tr`Elenhh> Well rekkhai ::stands:: I will take my leave of au.
Raith>::nods:: Ie, and good luck in your new field position.
tr`Elennh> Hann`yyu... It has been a pleasure ::exits room::
Raith sits in thought for a few hours in his office on ch`Revellion. As
the sky turns red and the sun begins to go down, a soft klaxon stirs
him. Raith looks down at it and, recognizing what it is, grins. He
gathers his things and exits his office.
A short stroll down through the city and Raith arrives at the docks. He
steps aboard a small wooden structure, which has been temporarily
erected along the spin of a ship. The sleek green form of the ship is
perfectly offset by the blood red sky.
Raith reaches the top of the platform and, amongst a collection of
mostly Revelliona Rei`Krannsu officers, moves to a podium.
Rei`Krannsu> Hrrau`Vaed'rae! ::snaps to attention::
Ervtr`Raith> ::clears his throat:: At ease. ::slight pause:: Ke'rev-a
and Ke'rhin-a, I come before au today in my function as a Sub-commander
in the Rei`Krannsu. In that post, I come to see the fare an equal
placement of au, ::gesture to the bulk of the gathered troops:: the
recently trained Revelliona Rei`Krannsu, on this a new and powerful ship
in our small Galae. erie`Riov t`Kethry come forward please.
Ervt`Kethry> ::steps forward::
Ervtr`Raith> ::steps off the podium:: It is my pleasure to give au this,
::reaches forward and removes Den's Galae pips. Replaces them with a
black and two silver rank bars:: And Offer au this command. ::hands Den
the ship's roster and history recorder:: May au serve us with the level
of proficiency and courage denoted by the post. ::grins:: again
congratulations...
Raith steps back, letting the new erie`Riov give her speech and organize
her crew. Kuro moves silently up to his shoulder and waits to be
noticed.
Raith> (w) Ie?
Kuro> (w) things are afoot... you are required in the information
center.
Raith> ::nods:: (w) Ie... hann`yyu.
The two officers quietly slip off the ship and move purposefully back to
the capital building.
