OOC: Okay everyone this is the R&R thread I promised. You all have a free go at whatever you guys want to do. If Ambassador Rela still wants to keep posting with us until we return to Assailant she is more than welcome to stay. Also now you guys can guess who she is and I will tell you guys.
The day had been mercifully slow. Illito and Lianna had been helping the wounded and Paikea would make sure that the two would get commendations for all there hard work. Paikea had been given the task of command until they made reached Assailant.
Commander Cavit had to heal from her injuries and Commodore T'Mar was unusually distant from everyone. Paikea didn't put anything into it, but he was also glad for the calm pace on the bridge. The only thing that he worried about was Commander Cavit, what if she gave Illito a hard time. Paikea had a feeling that she wouldn't have a problem relieving Semia of command.
He had actually ended everyone's shift three hours early, well everyone but Katie.
"Not you Lt.," Paikea said turning the command chair to face her," you have not been dismissed."
"That's not fair," Katie said in a mock angry voice.
"Katie since when has life been fair?" Paikea asked
<Tag Katie>
"By the way I really enjoyed our date," Paikea said standing," hopefully we can do it again sometime soon."
<Tag Katie>
Paikea stood up because one of the engineering consoles on the bridge had just gone off. It seemed as the manifolds were running a couple of degrees to hot.
"Engineering, the manifolds are running hot," Paikea said," I'm going to slow us down to Warp 5.6."
<Tag Engineering>
The Scavenger rocked a bit as it slowed down, which was to be expected. She had suffered a lot this mission and Paikea would recommend a total upgrade to her systems. It was time she got a makeover.
"Hey Katie, what does your computer say?" Paikea asked remembering that they still had to do there job.
<Tag Katie>
"Okay good, if you want to leave you can," Paikea said sitting down hoping that she wouldn't leave.

Semia was released from sickbay and she left rubbing her arm where Dr Tintagle playfully punched her , she packed quite the punch cause it still hurt. She wandered to her quarters half dazed from the drugs she recived and entered and looked around. She stood at the doorway for a minute then she sat at her desk where a picture of her Micheal Pasek and thier sat and she picked it up and began to cry. "Oh mike why?" Mike was sent on a covert mission for Losekene and disapeared 2 years ago and was declared dead all that left of him was the daughter that was born Michelle,she missed her daughter but she was with Semia's adoptive father who had been looking after her for the past year. The comm beeped at her she sighed and reposned "Apirana to the bridge i have a priority message for you from Admiral Magellan" "Put it though commander" Semia said
A male trill apeared on the screen Semia sat up, they where cousins they never talked much but thier last encounter brought them closer than imagined "Magellan , pleasure to see you" smiling she sat forward "Semia we hope your in a good mood cause the news we bear isn't good" Magellan said gravely Semia slowly sat down the picture in her hand her heart learched *oh god i hope nothing happed to Michelle* "Whats wrong" Semia swalled "it's Gordon Cavit, he's dead , i'm sorry Semia" Magellan said Semia broke down again and grabbed the sides of the screen and looked at Magellan pleading ly "How ? when?" "There was an attack on starfleet headquaters , a bomb was planeted and whent off" Magellan said Semia noticed the top of a brown head bobbing up every few seconds with a tiny cry "Mommy" Relief flooded Semia amongst the grief she felt her daughter was safe . "Michelle" Semia cried out Magellan reached down and plopped her on his lap "See ?" he said to Michelle "It's mommy" The little girl waved a hand to her and cried out "Mommy" "Hey honey you being a good girl for the admiral" Semia said sweetly" Michelle nodded and bounced to her knees on Magellans lap for leverage and to lean closer to the screen there was an Ompf from Magellan from being jumped on "I miss mommy" "I know honey I'll see you in 2 days I promise" Semia said *sooner than that i can order us to speed up she thought inwardly* "Why don't you go play honey, mommy need to talk to Magellan" Semia said Michelle looked back at Magellan and the admrial nodded to her , looking back at her mother she said simply "okay" and bounced off "She's cute" Magellan said "She's gotten so big i haven't seen her in 8 months" Semia said "What are you gonna do with her I can't take care of her forever" he said sternly "I know Magellan i'm taking her with me when i leave" Semia said " I have to" "It's risky" Magellan said "though there is always risks" Semia nodded" I'll see you soon Semia out" The screen whent black and she got up and headed to the bridge . When she arrived Lt Commander Apirana stood up in surprise "Commander i thought you -" "It was nothing i was released and fit for duty Commander" Semia cut him off she didn't mean to but her mind was full of thoughts she didnt' think of it Paikea stood aside and held his hand out to the command chair and smiled "Sorry" "Think we can speed up to the starbase? " Semia said calmly "Erm...." Paikea started but trailed off when on of Semia's eyebrows rose then he took a breath and began again " Well we could but we have a minor problem with the manifolds" Semia's grey eyes narrowed in anger and her cheeks flushed along with her spots wich darkend visably *uh oh* Paikea thought * Here it comes* "And i wasn't informed of this because?" Semia's voice rose and octive In the back Katie's eye's widened and depite having a console between her and the first officer she instincivly took a step back Paikea winced "Sorry i thought you where still in sick bay" Semia 's tounge rolled into her right cheek and her eyes narrowed further the way Semia 's one eyebrow had been plucked made it look naturally higher than the other made the angry look something fearce. "This will be dealt with later" Semia said "If you excuse me i'll be in engineering helping" She turned and left but as she reached the doors and Looked at lt anderson the back at commander Paikea then frowned but said nothing and entered the turbo lift
As she reached engineering she found it extreamly hot in there and found thier Acting cheif engineer petty officer Ried who greeted her imeadiatley , "Ma'am i was about to deliver you these" He handed her 2 PADDs "Our manifolds are toasted Commander i wouldn't reccomend going over warp six or she'll blow" Looking up from the PADDS she looked directly at the warpcore then at Ried , "How so?" she asked. *great so i won't beable to see my daughter sooner* she thought inwardly "We took a nasty torpedo hit in the main plasma releays and it overloaded the mainfold controls it literally fused em in place we wouldn't beable to adjust them if our hearts depended on em" Semia rose an eyebrow "Well good thing we are in for a refit" she walked closer to the core and glared at it if she was trying to will it to fix itself "So five point six is the best we can do" "Unfortunatly" Ried said "And with a direct distupor blast it killed the dorsal phaser array on the lower engineering hull, thats gonna be a b*tch to replace it's a pain to put them in" Ried realized he swore in front of the first officer but she didn't even flinch instead she merely quirked her eyebrow and looked at him "How big of a B*tch?" She asked Blinking in surprise it took him a few moments but he snapped out of it when she put her hands on her hips still holding the PADDS in her left and a tiny tilt of her head "A week" he blinked Puffing out her cheeks she nodded "Great , anything else ?" "Yeah you might wanna look at this " He reached under a consel and held it out to her it was small white round and fluffly and it cooed "What the hell is that" Semia 's eyes narrowed "A tribble " He said " we found it in between two gel packs in jeffries tube 12" "WHAT ?? A TRIBBLE ? GET IT OFF THE SHIP " her eyes widened " YOU KNOW FAST THEY BREED?" Blinking Ried nodded and quickly said "Yes but.... i had the Dr look at it to fix that problem but it's reproductive organs had already been removed it so it doesn't breed thats why we only found one god knows how long it's been there" Holding it out to her , as it cooed and wiggled She held otu her free hand and took it and looked at it closely "Cute she" said "You can have it if you want ma'am , i can't keep it i have a cat and none of the other engineers want it" Ried said "Thank you mr Ried , Carry on " She left engineering with a cooing Tribble in one hand and padds in the other. She reentered her quarters and sat down and set the tribble beside her it helped calm her gief over the loss of her adoptive father

Lianna had finally finished caring for the injured in sickbay and had escaped back to her own quarters. Phantom lay next to the couch, his head on his paws. his eyes closed. An empty plate lay before him.
“It’s been a long day hasn’t it boy?” she said, her hand reaching down to pat his head. He responded by whimpering.
Lianna was used to being alone, and in the dark. The lights were out in her quarters, her feet propped up on the couch.
“Computer soft music.” she ordered, immediately the room was filled with the low sounds of one of her favorite artists, Loreena McKennitt. She would worry about something to eat after she’d had some time to relax.

Pride: His shift ended everybody was safe for now anyway. He was walking the halls looking for something to do. He past by a empty holodeck and decided too go in Sandy his pet was with him nobody even had noticed then again she could blend in when she wanted to. pride programed the holodeck and his desert world ot Teac appeared the temp was a 120 degrees he striped his top and sat it was time to rest he closed his eyes and started to center himself sandy went to play in the sand and to warm up a bit.
He thought about the mission and wondered if he would be getting into trouble with commander cavit for his tone in the shuttle. He new he didn't mean any disrespect but there saftey was in his hands and he needed them to sit down and buckly up. Well I'll have to wait and see. The crew was tired he knew and that they needed some rest. This is my new home I need to work on fitting in but how. Pride continued to think and enjoy the moment we'll be reaching the star base soon and taking on crew and supplies and some much needed repairs.
I wonder what everybody else is doing right now, I dont know if I belong here yet. I still feel that I have alot to prove too the crew and to myself and alot to learn about humans about myself. Pride rested and came to peace with himself.

Illito had wanted to hit the ground running. She was slightly delayed in her arrival at sickbay by three things-she wanted to help Commander Cavit down there, the realization that it probably wouldn't be a good thing for crew morale to have the chief medical officer seen running down the hall, and a natural sense of dignity. She escorted Commander Cavit to a bio bed and told her, without the slightest chance of being misunderstood, that she was to stay there until she had been fully healed and released by none other than Illito. Illito had had enough people leave sickbay lately, and she wouldn't object quite so strenuously if they weren't putting their health in further jeopardy by doing so.
She was, however, eventually able to release Commander Cavit, on the condition that the first officer get some rest. Illito hated having to set up a monitor on her own crew members, it seemed to imply that she didn't trust them, but she felt that there were some situations in which past events had shown that she couldn't trust Commander Cavit to take care of her own health.
“Alert me if Commander Cavit enters the bridge,” Illito said, hoping that she wouldn't have to do anything more than that, but realizing that there were quite a few ways of doing work without visiting the bridge-Illito spent most of her time doing exactly that.
Very soon, the notification about Commander Cavit Illito had set up went off, leaving Illito muttering about first officers who were willing to risk their life, or at least their health, not to mention their good standing with the chief medical officer, for no particular reason.
Commander Cavit left the bridge soon after, which meant Illito didn't have to let Semia know she was tracking her. Not that Illito particularly wanted to be 'tracking' anyone, but she didn't have much of a choice if she didn't want people to work themselves into a state of exhaustion.
=/\=Illito to Commander Apirana=/\= Illito said.
<Tag Pai>[/b]
=/\=What was Commander Cavit just doing on the bridge?=/\=Illito demanded, swift and to the point.
<Tag Pai>[/b]
=/\=I see=/\= Illito replied. =/\=Well, she was released by me, just not to active duty.=/\= Illito sighed slightly, then smiled. =/\=So, is the mission over then?=/\= she asked, slightly cheerfullly, hoping to talk a bit to Pai. Illito realized, at least partly, the uselessness of trying to prevent the first officer from working, which wasn't to say that she exactly planned to give up.

He knew that he would be hearing from Illito, but he didn't think that it would so soon.
=^=Yes doctor what may I do for you?=^=
=/\=What was Commander Cavit just doing on the bridge?=/\=Illito demanded, swift and to the point.
=^=Um, well Doctor I don't really know, she just asked if we could get back to Assailant any faster and I told her that it would be risky. I think she headed towards Engineering. =^=
=/\=I see=/\= Illito replied. =/\=Well, she was released by me, just not to active duty.=/\= Illito sighed slightly, then smiled. =/\=So, is the mission over then?=/\= she asked, slightly cheerfully, hoping to talk a bit to Pai. Illito realized, at least partly, the uselessness of trying to prevent the first officer from working, which wasn't to say that she exactly planned to give up.
=^=Yeah the mission is done with, but I'm worried about a couple of people. We have heard so little from T'Mar and Ambassador Rela, they have seemed to disappeared.=^=
<Tag Illito>
Pai had the distinct feeling that Illito wanted to talk and he was more than happy to comply. He hadn't been able to spend much time with his friend the last couple of weeks and he missed her counsel.
=^=Hey Illito when we get back to Assailant, do you want to join me at the diner again?=^=

Rela was in her quarters, as they were headed back to the starbase. She didn't know what to do with herself. She felt like her heart had been ripped out of her. She kept replaying the scene where her love died in her arms. She couldn't take this any more. She saw the same scene every night, and she was losing sleep over it. She thought about seeing the doctor about some sleep remedy, but decided on something else.
A couple hours later, she was in her best dress, and she had things laid out like they should be. She left a bit of a will on her padd, not that she had much. She knew this was the end. She couldn't go on like this, and there was no cure, not now not ever.
She grabbed a phaser she had the replicator make, and then set it to the highest level.
"Good bye cruel universe!" She shouted to the stars, and then aimed it at her chest before hitting the button. She slumped down on her bed, finally at peace.
Right beside her body lay two padds. The first one said.... Good fine crew, You did wonderful on the last mission, and I consider it a privledge serving with you all. You helped to save two nations that would have killed themselves in a long drawn out war. With that I commend you. Good luck with your future endevours, may you always be successful in all your missions.
Sincerely,
Ambassador Rela
The second one stated:
Pai,
I would like you to read the other padd to the whole crew. I have done what I feel I must do, and I will never regret this action. I lost myself down on the planet, and I was never going to get it back. I had to do this final act. Please call and tell my brother of what has happened. Thank you for trying to be a friend.
Rela

Semia picked up the tribble next to her and she looked at it, it cooed happily as she held him up and examined him, she brought it to her cheek and nuzzled it and smiled and it wiggled in happiness, "Hmm What on earth should I call you" She spoke to it in wonder, the only response she got back was a quiet coo and she kissed it "I think I'm gonna call you Artemis" She said smiling and Artemis wiggled and cooed in happiness, to the new name. Placing Artemis on top of her head she got up and walked to the replicator. "Orange juice" She said , as her orange beverage appeared she picked it up no sooner did she bring it to her lips the ships alarms went off that a weapon was fired at full power causing to spill the drink on the front of her uniform. "Dammit" She yelled and grabbed her phaser rifle witch was setting on her coffee table and ran out the door "Cavit to bridge what the hell is going on" "A phaser was fired on deck four ma'am , Ambassador Rela's quarters a security team is on their way as well as Commodore T'Mar " Paikea's voice came over the comm "I'm on my way as well, Cavit out" She flew into the turbo lift four security guards where there waiting for her one of them looked at Artemis the tribble that was still on the top of her head but they didn't say anything now wasn't the time. "Deck four, Ready weapons " There where five distinct whines of phaser rifles powering up looking at them she nodded and they nodded in return and rose them as the doors opened when they arrived on deck four, they slowly exited searching around them , cautiously peering around corridors, when they arrived at Rela's quarters she looked at them and they nodded silently signaling they where ready, they turn on the lights to the rifles and pounced in searching around the room, ..No one but a humanoid shaped form on the floor "Computer lights" Cavit said as soon as the lights came on Semia cried out "Oh" Kari Wells one of the security guards knelt at Rela's side and checked for a pulse and shook her head "There's nothing we could have done Ma'am" "Who would do this" Semia said, Artemis cooed sadly on her head "Commander" A male security guard called to her and handed her two PADD "I think you better look at these" All Semia had to do is read the title of them to guess what happened and shook her head , Dr Tintagle came running in "Whats going -- " but trailed off as she spotted the ambassador's body all she had to do was look at it to know it was to late. she looked at Semia and opened her mouth to remind her that she was supposed to be off duty but then she noticed Artemis on her head and decided best to drop it. T'Mar arrived and peered around the Doctor and looked at the ambassador's body in disbelief "What happened here" Semia handed T'Mar the PADDs "Whats this? " T'mar's eyes drifted to Artemis "Yes!!!! I'm well aware there's a tribble on my head" She snapped to everyone even causing Artemis to let out a high pitched squeak when Semia realized what she had done her mouth hung open for a bit and tried to speak "No need to apologize commander" T'mar said "You done more than your share these past few weeks , go get some rest alright ?" "But-" Semia started "Thats an order commander" T'Mar said Semia sighed "Yes ma'am" her shoulders slumped and left the ambassador's quarter and Artemis cooed soothingly , Semia reach for him and then cradled him in her out stretched hands and kissed him , what would I do without you, I think I know a companion you would really like. Artemis let out an angry squeak at the thought of being given away. " I think you will like my daughter , she's only two" Semia reassured him , crew members glanced at her but she ignored them. Artemis seemed to be satisfied by this and was back to cooing happily, she got into the turbo lift and smiled at Artimes in her hands " Deck three" It took the turbo lift a few seconds reaching it's destination, she stepped out and headed to her quarters , as she entered her quarters she had a thought how to relive her depression do something out of the ordinary and goofy, why not they all think she's out of her mind anyway grinning at Artemis she said "What you think about a little ride Artemis?" Artemis seemed to read her mind and was wiggling around in her hands and cooing in excitement and Semia nodded "Lets do it" she placed him on the table.
Stripping down to nothing she dug though her dresser and found a black pair of shorts with sliver flames on the leggings and put them on and found her favorite purple bikini top and put it on and a pair of socks, she rushed across the room and dugs around for a bit and found her 20th century mp3 player , her sports sunglasses, rollerblades, towel and a pikachu backpack. Throwing the towel in the back pack she sat on the edge of her bed and strapped on her rollerblades and stood up and did a 360 on the spot and grinned at Artemis and laughed "Still got it " Semia clipped the mp3 player to her belt and turned it on and trance came though the earpieces , sticking them in her ears and setting Artemis on top of her head once more,and then she put on the sunglasses and flew out of her quarters on rollerblades , soon the corridor's became a blur to her , she headed for the holodeck at full tilt she came skidding to a halt in the turbo nearly colliding with Lianna on the way in. "Oh sorry" Semia called as Lianna and phantom dodged her when the exited the turbo lift and the doors shut and Semia swore she heard Lianna ask a fellow crew member , "Was that the first officer with a tribble on her head and roller blades??" Semia smiled "Deck eight" Soon as the doors opened again Semia took off at full speed without any effort, zooming through the corridors twisting though the corners towards the holodeck she nearly ran over several crew members.
She entered and smiled "Computer run program Cavit two" The holodeck changed to a wooded area with a lake that was once her back yard on earth , she took off her rollerblades and pulled out the towel and laid it down, then she set her stuff on the towel and was about to dive in when Artemis gave an angry squeak "Oh sorry" she plucked him off the top of her head " guess you can't swim huh? " She felt bad but Artemis only cooed contently sighing she smiled "Alright alright " and set him gently down on the towel Diving in the simulated water felt good , she swam around for a bit then she heard the doors open and she looked too see who entered , it was the waitress from 12 forward . She had beautiful red hair and green eyes, she spotted Semia and waved , "Can I join" "I'd love you too "Semia called back

He had actually ended everyone's shift three hours early, well everyone but Katie.
"Not you Lt.," Paikea said turning the command chair to face her," you have not been dismissed."
"That's not fair," Katie said in a mock angry voice.
"Katie since when has life been fair?" Paikea asked
"Since yesterday!" Katie replied with a smile.
"By the way I really enjoyed our date," Paikea said standing," hopefully we can do it again sometime soon."
"I'd like that." Katie replied.
Katie listened as the engineering station began to make noise. Katie started to head over to check out the station but Paikea darted for the station first. Katie listened in as the Paikea spoke with the engineers about the problem.
"Hey Katie, what does your computer say?" Paikea asked remembering that they still had to do there job.
"It says it has analyzed everything and with a proper set of calculations it thinks your cute." Katie said with a smirk.
"No, really what does it say." Paikea said.
"So serious...my station just showed me the power loss from the engines and the change in speed we just made." Katie reported.
"Okay good, if you want to leave you can," Paikea said sitting down hoping that she wouldn't leave.
"No I think I will stay." Katie said letting a large smile grow on her face.
There were times in this relationship that Katie felt so impulsive. Katie noticed that there weren't a lot of officers on the bridge so she left her station and sat down next to Paikea in the first officer's chair.
"What are you doing?" Paikea asked sounding confused.
"Sitting next to you." Katie replied as she wrinkled her nose.
Paikea and Katie talked about anything they wanted to as she sat in the first officer's chair. It was something Katie wouldn't have normally done but she felt it was a safe move since most of the officers were off duty. Katie slowly started to stand up to go to her station when the turbo lift doors opened. Paikea jumped from the Captain's chair and Katie stood as still as she could.
Commander Cavit began to talk business with Paikea so Katie slowly slipped past the two officers so she could stand at her station. After Commander Cavit finished her talk with Paikea she made her way back toward the turbo lift she had come from. Katie noticed Cavit's eyes fall upon her then look back toward Paikea. Her heart started to race as if she had been caught doing something terrible but Commander Cavit left with out saying a word.
Not long after Commander Cavit left Paikea received a call from Illito. She tried not to listen in but the conversation was open for everybody to listen if they wanted. Looking down at her station Katie tried not to be a snoop but the last part of the conversation caught her ears.
=^=Hey Illito when we get back to Assailant, do you want to join me at the diner again?=^=
Katie's playful mood was suddenly ripped from her body. She felt confused about the situation. What's going on between them? Katie thought. She tried to let it go but for all her effort she kept thinking about what Paikea had just said to the doctor.

=^=We have heard so little from T'Mar and Ambassador Rela, they have seemed to disappeared.=^=
=/\=That is worrying=/\= Illito replied. =/\=But not overly so.=/\= Illito thought that the Commodore and Ambassador were quite capable of taking care of themselves, and probably wouldn't be too happy with interference, even if it was well-intended interference.
=^=Hey Illito when we get back to Assailant, do you want to join me at the diner again?=^=
Illito was about to say yes, when she received an alert that required her immediate attention. “Bloody hell,” she muttered slightly, then realized her comm channel was still open. =/\=Listen, Pai=/\= she muttered, already on her way out of sickbay and to the Ambassador's quarters. =/\=I have to go, but about the question yes. If I have a chance=/\= she said, but rather than closing the commchannel, she left it open, so she could tell him what was going on, if there was anything to say. And he could close it himself if he wanted.
<Tag Pai>[/b]
Illito hurried to Ambassador Rela's quarters. She arrived to see security on the scene, as well as the errant first officer. “What's going on?” Illito asked of Commander Vassiliou.
Spiro didn't say anything, just nodded his head toward the bed. Illito didn't say anything, just rushed forward, the med kit she had brought along opening to her fingers to yield a medical tricorder. Illito didn't think she could do any good, not from this, but-The results were as Illito had expected they would be. “How?” Illito muttered to Spiro.
“Suicide,” he muttered back.
“No doubts?” Illito asked, a little surprised by the finality of his words.
“Not really. I'll do a further investigation, but everything seems to lead to this same conclusion.”
Illito nodded, firmly, though she wasn't feeling all that firm. “Anything else I can do?” she asked, her growing paleness becoming rather apparent.
“Not now,” Spiro replied. “I'm sure most of those here could do with a psychological evaluation, fortunately there are counselors on Assailant.”
“Yes,” Illito faintly replied. “Someone should inform Commodore T'Mar,” she said.
Spiro nodded. “I can do it,” he softly replied. “In fact, I can handle the rest, if you-”
“Thank you,” Illito replied softly, hating the fact that she was showing so much weakness. =/\=Pai, it's Ambassador Rela, she's dead.=/\= Illito said, then had control enough of herself to tap her commbadge off before having to sit down in the corridor outside the room, but she didn't have presence of mind enough to be able to stay on her feet.

=^=Illito what's going on with Rela?=^= Paikea asked a bit concerned. He immediately turned to Katie," Katie is there anyone near her?
<Tag Katie, Illito>
"Okay, good, hopefully Spiro will be able to get there before Illito," Paikea said anxiously waiting for answers.
Pai didn't know what could of happened, but he knew that the news would not be good. Rela was not the same since she had come from the planet. Pai didn't know the entire story, but he knew that the person that Sethe had killed was her lover. As that thought hit his mind, Pai looked at Katie, looking worried about the situation. Paikea didn't know what he would do if he lost her, he couldn't live with the thought.
Finally, after minutes of waiting, Paikea heard the crackle of the comm system. Paikea knew that it was Illito and what she was going to say.
=/\=Pai, it's Ambassador Rela, she's dead.=/\= Illito said
Paikea didn't want to believe what he had just heard, he so badly wanted to be wrong. A long cold pain went down his body which caused him to shake involuntarily.
=^=Il....Illito, how did she.....=^=
<Tag Illito>
=^=A message? For me.=^= Paikea asked confused. He had given Rela the hardest time, he had treated her like a nobody, but yet her dieing request was for him to do something for her.
The comm was still open, but without responding to Illito Pai closed it. He somehow had gotten down on the floor and tears flowed freely. They flowed because the world had lost a loving, caring, and self giving person. Someone who had risked everything for peace. A person who in the end could not live without her true love.
Paikea once again looked at Katie. She had turned away from him. Pai didn't know how she would take the news, he hadn't seen the two interact much. Paikea softly got up and joined Katie. He softly turned her to face him and saw tears falling her cheeks.
Paikea just caressed her face and gave her a light kiss on the lips. "Katie I have to go take care of this, but I will come back to talk," Paikea said as he once again kissed her, but this time on the forehead.
------------------
Paikea entered what used to be the quarters of the Hekaran Ambassador to the Federation. It was empty of all life. Her body had been removed, but not the phaser that she had used to commit her last action.
"Rela, I know it was hard, but I would have gladly helped," Paikea said to the air. Of course there was no response, so Paikea looked at the two PADD's next to what must of been Rela's final resting place.
"May the Gods of my ancestors be with you, Rela of Hekaran," Paikea said performing his people's last rights," may they greet you with open arms and may your love greet you with a kiss and welcome."
Paikea picked up the two PADD's and read each one. Tears flowed as he read the first one, but the second one had such an impact on Paikea that the tears just seemed to vanish. Paikea had also lost himself, he had been in darkness without an end. Yet he had found a way out, his way out was standing on Deck 1 of the very same ship. As Paikea thought about it he could not place judgment on Rela, for if Katie had not been there he too would be with his ancestors. With this thought, Paikea promised himself and Rela that he would perform her last wishes.
"Computer ship wide"
Paikea was so ready to speak, he was going to tell them, but it hit him that this was not right. Not right now, he would read to them what Rela had said when they all had the chance to say goodbye to a hero.

Rezula wasn't one to be messed with, and she hadn't appreciated the delay in her arrival. The shuttle had stopped three times at different bases for deliveries and pick ups. She was getting madder at every stop, and was glad to finally be on the base. She walked to the nearest console, and groaned when she saw the ship was in lock down.
She made her way to the nearest establishment for something to drink. She figured she wasn't on duty since she hadn't reported in yet. She ordered her drink, and sat at a table nearest the window. She pulled her bag strap over her head and put it on the back of her chair before sitting down to enjoy the beverage.

[USS Scavenger/Liannas Quarters]
Lianna woke sometime later to Phantom nudging hand. “What is it boy?” she asked, sitting up and looking around her quarters. She patted Phantom and stood up. Let me change and then we’ll go for a walk.“
[15 minutes later]
Lianna reappeared, now dressed in a light colored pants suit, her sensory net nowhere to be seen. “Come on boy.” She reached for his harness. “Let’s go ….?” She attached his harness and then gripped the handle. “Lead the way.”
Since they had arrived at the Starbase she felt like taking a longer walk, and investigate the Starbase without the help of her sight, it was time to give her Betazoid senses a chance to stretch.
[Starbase Assailant]
Phantom led her through the corridors of the ship to one of the nearby airlocks. All her senses heightened but her trust in the dog which was her guide. “Let’s see what fun we can have on the Starbase boy.” she said, her hand resting on Phantoms shoulder.
On board the ship she’d stressed her own abilities and senses and it felt good to let him do the leading. They wandered for a while before walking into one of the many restaurants on the Starbase.
Lianna stood uncertainly at the door, Phantom sitting at her feet. She didn’t dare enter until she was noticed.

Pride: was wondering the ship when he caught sight of lianna he was a little shocked to see her being led by her dog and decided to follow. He had never seen a blind person before he had heard about them. He didn't want to be rude so he thought it might be better if he went up and introduced himself. Some how thoe he was sure the she already knew he was there. Pride caught Lianna as she entered the restraut may I join Lianna Im kind of new here and really dont know anybody <Tag Lianna>

Illito rose from her spot in the hallway, as she saw someone approaching. She saw that it was Pai, but she hoped he didn't notice her just now, since she didn't really feel up to talking just now.
“What should be done with the body?” one of the crew asked her, momentarily scattering her thoughts.
She looked at the crewmember a little confusedly. “I don't know,” she said. “I know it's been removed to sickbay, so a full autopsy can be run, just to make sure. How we dispose of it after that...I don't think that's my position to decide.”
“But you're Chief Medical Officer. Wouldn't this fall under your position?”
“I haven't a clue,” Illito replied. “This kind of thing doesn't often come up. I also hardly knew the deceased,” Illito said, considering the case closed. Her tone was firm enough to convince the crewmember to leave her alone. Illito sighed slightly, took a calming breath of air, then returned to the room.
“Pai?” she asked, softly. She didn't want to disturb him now, but she felt that it was better to deal with this now than later. “Did Ambassador Rela have any family that you know of?”
<Tag Pai>
“And someone should inform her people. I can, if you'd rather I did,” Illito volunteered.
<Tag Pai>
“Do you know how she would have liked her body disposed of?” Illito asked in a rather abrupt transition, but she managed to steadfastly keep her voice from faltering. She knew that releasing it into space would be standard for Starfleet personnel, but Rela hadn't been Starfleet.

Paikea had been walking around the ship for so long that his legs started to hurt. He just couldn't think straight, the loss of a person was always hard, but so much more to him. His people believed that when a person close to you died, a part of you died with them.
Paikea finally stopped walking around and found himself where this pain had all started. It was like he could feel Rela's sorrow engulf her.
Paikea walked into Rels'a quarters one more time and found it to be filled with security and with Illito. Pai noticed that everyone was crowding Illito and he did not like that at all.
"All of you get out," Paikea said very assertively. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him puzzled.
"I said get out, you can finish the investigation later," Paikea said trembling with anger. How could people just act like everything was normal, someone had taken there life, only a short time ago and they were going about like nothing had happened.
Everyone shortly left and Paikea just sat down. His emotions were getting the better of him and his tears just flowed freely once more.
“Pai?” she asked, softly. She didn't want to disturb him now, but she felt that it was better to deal with this now than later. “Did Ambassador Rela have any family that you know of?”
Paikea looked up and realized that Illito was still there. Illito was the young and Paikea never took the time to think how this was effecting her. Rela's was with them for a very short time, but he felt that she had made an impression on all of them.
"She had a brother," Paikea responded getting up and drying his tears.
“And someone should inform her people. I can, if you'd rather I did,” Illito volunteered.
"No I will do it," Paikea said," she asked me to do it."
“Do you know how she would have liked her body disposed of?” Illito asked in a rather abrupt transition, but she managed to steadfastly keep her voice from faltering. She knew that releasing it into space would be standard for Starfleet personnel, but Rela hadn't been Starfleet.
"Her people ask for a period of three hours of mourning and then for her body to be released into space, in the direction of her home planet," Paikea informed her. Paikea realized that the three hour window would pass very shortly, but he would respect her wishes.
"Illito, her people's custom's also call for a special cermony," Paikea said," it involves four people watching over her body and protecting it from all ill will. Those four people would also be the only ones to attend her funeral."
<Tag Illito>
"I would like it if you would be one of those four people," Paikea asked. He would ask Katie and Semia if they would be the other people.
<Tag Illito>
Paikea and Illito did not talk much after that and without even saying see you later, Paikea left Rela's room. He would have to contact Katie and Semia and this was the best time to do it. Paikea contacted Semia shortly thereafter and she agreed to it. Paikea then made his way back to the bridge and saw that Katie was still there.
<Tag Semia>
"Katie I need to talk to you about something..." Paikea said explaining what would be required.
<Tag Katie>
OOC: Everyone can add to the cermony, there is no set plan for it except for only four people and once we let the body go it has to go in a certain direction.

Rezula enjoyed the stars, but she had enough of looking at them for now. She looked around to see who was where. She noticed a woman with a dog, and was a bit bothered by it. Dogs are allowed in restaurants now? She thought completely puzzled by it. She left her drink where it was, and went to find out what was going on. She noticed a man walk up to the woman, but that didn't stop her.
"Hello, there, who might you two be?" She asked hoping that maybe something would give her a clue as to what was going on.

Lianna turned at the sound of a male voice at her elbow.
“May I join you? I’m kind of new here and really don’t know anybody .”
Phantom was back on his feet and standing between the two. His ears alert and his body tense. She smiled in the direction of the young man. “I would like that very much, could you find us a table?” They stood there a little longer, Phantom getting to know the young mans scent while they did.
During this time another person walked up to them, this time from inside the restaurant.
"Hello, there, who might you two be?"
Phantom tried to keep his body between Lianna and the two others, protecting her from any danger which might be headed in her direction.
She turned slightly towards the other voice. “My name is Lianna.” she grew silent waiting for the others to share their names and/or business with her.

Pride: Was very delighted to get Lianna answer of yes that he could join her. He was also very impressed with her dog he had never realy seen one before and was thrilled at the chance of maybe touching one. He was also impressed with the devotion the dog was showing trying to protect her. The only problem was sandy was starting to react to what she precieve as a threat to him and was starting to go into protect mode. Pride let sandy know that everything was okay and the dog was only doing what you would do.
Pride then noticed another person walking up he wasn't sure who it was but decided to offer his name I'm Lt JG pride he made sure he said his name loud enought for lianna to hear. I think I see a table for us to use. The group walked over to the table to take there seats Pride made sure to pull Lianna seat out enough for her to sit down He hoped he hadn't offended her by doing so.
Lianna I've never seen a dog before is it okay if I pet your dog and sandy would like to know if she could meet your dog well. Pride waited for Lianna to respond while he waited for a answer he looked for at Rezula I didn't catch your name?

She noticed their companions, but paid them no attention. She didn't know what they were doing, or why these two had them in here of all places. She didn't want to ask, and decided it would be good to join them. She wasn't sure where they came from, or where they were going after that, but she didn't mind not knowing. She figured she would learn in the future, and if not it wouldn't hurt her not to know.
She followed them to a table, and sat down. Looking at her old table, she noticed her drink was gone, and thought of getting another. She heard the introductions.
"I am Rezula. I just got her not long ago, and am looking forward to my new assignment. I am going to be on the Scavenger, which ship do you hail from?" She asked, and noticed her bag was still hanging from her shoulder. She took it off and put it on the back of her chair hoping that no one would think to mess with it. She noticed a waiter came up to the table, and she ordered another drink.
(Pride, Lianna)
It wasn't long before she was sipping her new drink happily. "So what brings you two, here, to Starfleet I mean." She said realizing her mistake. She hoped that no one would say anything about it though. She was glad she couldn't blush like humans could.

"I would like it if you would be one of those four people," Paikea asked, surprising Illito completely. She hadn't thought she would be high on the list of people who had known Ambassador Rela.
“Oh,” Illito replied. “Of course I can be.” Illito hadn't talked all that much to Rela, just when the ambassador had come down for her sickbay physical, and Illito had seen her around a little. Certainly not well enough that Illito could purport to be her friend, but enough that her death shook Illito. Illito had seen death enough on Cardassia, but it hadn't happened much to people she knew-if simply because of the fact that she hadn't known, or at least feel close, to all that many people.
After Pai left, Illito contacted the security personnel to let them resume their investigation. She then went to sickbay, found the results of the autopsy were as expected-Ambassador Rela had died of a phaser blast. Illito proceeded to quickly leave sickbay, and prepare herself emotionally somewhat.
Illito hadn't been sure where to go to meet the others, but she thought of the logical places for them to go to have a private funeral service, then be able to launch the body into space after the three hours were over. Illito also thought over what to wear for this. She didn't feel comfortable wearing her regular old uniform, but she and civilian clothes didn't get along together all that well. Plus, Illito had no clue what the mourning clothing for the Hekaran tradition were; a short search for the information didn't reveal anything.
Illito decided to quickly change into her Starfleet dress uniform. She walked through the corridors, possibly earning herself a few odd looks, but she didn't notice them-she felt oblivious to the people around her, and even to the fact that she was on a Starship at all. Illito briefly contacted Pai and let him know that she had found a seldom-used meeting room near an airlock that faced the appropriate location. Illito then proceeded to the location Pai had told her the mourning period would happen at, and awaited the arrival of the others.
