[Ra`Nakreen, Oria]
Ryu, Ren, Lar ,and party sit on the oira of the SNR Ra`Nakreen. The
atmosphere is tense, security reports that some one has beamed on board
-throught the sheilds. The intruder is rreported to have disarmed the
team. He was last seen on his way to the oira.
To make matters worse, the ship's neural network is comprimised, though Ren and the Comunication's officer are the only ones to notice/feel it.
"He is here," Ren says between shuddering.
Raith arives on the oira and nods cooly at Lar and Ren. The erie`Riov's vision pans across the gatherd officer. He Looks Ryu up and down, shrugs, then panning on, sees Spartan. Raith frowns, recognizing the Human even with cosmetic alteration. "What is _He_ doing on my ship?"
Lar looks a little irateted that Raith notes its "his" ship, but ignores it. This seems the best coarse, as the officer is lightly coated in blood -romulan blood and accessed the ship through its sheilds and all...
Ren sends him a psy direct explanation, to which Raith just frowns and
rumages around Spartan's brain for a better answer. Not finding anything of interest, Raith goes to stand next to Lar's throne for the duration of the trip back to Hama. Notably he doesnt comment on how he got there- Lar and Ren dont ask....
Raith sits down on the throne. Its not as comfortable as his own, not
nearly as well broken in, but it will do. Though stuck with a stiff
chair, the commander was more than pleased with the ship's advantages.
The J`tol was a Ra`Kalen class, the successor of the Kalen class, and
sported a new set of traswarp engines.
The various Oria staff hustled to their posts as Helm was cleared to
leave SB Hama. Raith nods to his XO, tr`Kandeen, and issues commands to
leave port and head for the ch`Brile system. The small destroyer darts
out, closely followed by 3 other ships, and makes a jump to transwarp...
[A few hours earlier...]
After seeing Spartan and Kiko off, Raith left the docking rings and
went to search out the last loose end on the station.
Not wishing to have to spend mindless time searching for his target,
Raith jacks into the station neural network. Instantaneously he feels
his target... In Ren's quarter's no less. He sends a psy message to her, notes that she isn't receiving anything, and heads on to her quarters.
To be blunt, the sub-commander was not pleased to find Ryu asleep next
to his 'mother'. Not wishing to wake her, Raith beams tr`Kandeen into an adjacent quarters, and wakes him up.
"All right then," Raith makes no mention of knowing anything about the
situation. "Ryu, I have heard your story and your background, and I
think I could use a officer like you." Ryu nods. " I am embarrassed to
say, but I am currently at a loss as to my crew and ship's where-abouts. So I am taking a few of the station's defense ships hunting.
"And I am needed where?"
Raith grins. "I need an XO..."
=-=-=-=-
The black light cast from some of the VR displays, earily played across Ryu's erie`Riov pips. Raith shakes himself back to attention and focuses back on the matters at hand. The squadron had reached ch`brilie, and the point ship had detected something of interest...
