[SD239906.7 - Kalen]
{{Finished}} Raith thinks to himself, while putting down the last
in a stack of ISDs. The CO looks up from his command throne and surveys
the Oira. Turning to Raunik he says inquires, "Is the bomber away?"
"Ie rekkhai " Raunik replies from his post at Ops. "tr`Kuro and
Ghire's team departed a few seurena ago."
Raith chides himself for being too caught up in his administrative
work to have noticed. He looks forward, eyes scanning across the viewer. He rises and steps forward.

Skth>t`Kethry> +COM+ Ie Raith... what can I do for au?
Raith> +COM+Is your ship ready to deploy?
Skth>t`Kethry> +COM+Ie... my crew is all accounted for and ready to go.
Raith> +COM+ Ie... fall into formation ::turns:: Helm- set course for
Argada- engage when ready
While the Rilka is busy at helm tr`Shaleya turns in his chair to
face the commander." Rekkhai... what of Ragarok, Elq, and Remi?- surely
we can function with out them?"
"You're concern is noted erie`Arrain- staff will temporarily be
allocated in their absences. I have issued a request for their release-
perhaps having to chase us to a rendezvous site in a bomber will teach
them their lesson. Additionally Ghire and Kuro will have to meet us mid
way too... so I am not concerned about the situation"
"Ie rekkhai" Raunik turns back to his post and calls up a few
marines to the Oria to fill in the absent posts. Raith returns to his
post and watches the scene change through the viewer.
The two lithe Kalen class destroyers arch out of the system's
gravity well, when clear they accelerate to warp.
