SRR Ra`KalenChapter Forty-Three: Introducing Rilka t`Mehlek
[Kalen]

As Rilka was nearing the Kalen, a faint smile touched her lips as she gazed upon the ship. 'This will prove a very interesting post, rha.' She mused silently. As her shuttle glided silently through space towards the Kalen, she opened a channel to the ship. "This is Shuttle G'lan to Kalen. St'hwill to dock in Bay Io." She leaned back, staring at the ta' for an answer. Soon after the sound of static came through followed by a disconnected voice floating through the air. "St'hwill granted."

As she maneuvered the shuttle towards the bay she thought about the Enarrain of the Kalen. Rilka briefly scanned the report given to her by the Galae, but still... reports don't always tell the whole story....

Rilka was heading toward the Oira after quickly putting her few things in the quarters that were assigned to her. As she walked her thoughts once again drifted not on if the Enarrain was on the Oira, but how he was like. She had her share of captains that weren't all what they should be. They more or less just wanted to go and play around with their "big ship".

Rilka finally made it to the Oira and looked around, trying to find someone that looked like they were in charge. She spotted someone in the command chair and smiled slightly, straightening out her uniform and striding confidently towards the person. When she reached the chair she bowed slightly in respect and held out a ISD. "Rilka t`Mehlek reporting for duty, rekkhai."

Raith took the ISD and glanced at it, nodding slightly as a corner of his mouth twitched into a slight smile. "Aefvadh aboard. I ne it that au are ready to start as Helm immediately?"

Rilka smiled slowly and nodded. "Ie, rekkhai."

Raith just nodded. "Menkha."

Raith sat on his command throne on the Oria. Things were relatively quiet on the ship- repairs were just being completed, Kuro's squad was prepped and heading out with Ghire, and Riov t`Kethry and her ship were reporting ready. A shuttle had just been cleared to dock in the fighter bay, filling what little free space Kuro's bomber had freed up. A female eredh enters the Oria and gazes about the room. Though it is obvious Raith is in charge, she seems slightly confused that he is sitting on the command thrown. Raith grinned as he lightly scans her mind. ... why is a sub commander running the ship?... shaking himself from his revelry he accepts her ISD and after taking a quick glance at it returns it.

A short exchange of pleasantries and the officer moves to her new post at helm. Raith contemplated digging deeper into her mind- but decided against it as he was still getting used to his psi powers. "It will take me years to begin to master this... All that power, and for what? I can barely access it," he thinks. Frowning a bit, the commander returns to his reports.
