=== STARBASE KINSI === Xenai sat in a cafe futiley blowing an already luke warm cup of tea. {Im either too late, too early, or something has happened} Choosing to ignore the last option, she decided she needed to find out just where the Chimera was. "Where can i find the arrival coordinator, or anybody who would know the docking scheduale of the ships for the starbase?" She asked a nearby ferengi barissta. "You can find a general scheduale at any of the LCARs on the station" she replied coldly, careful not to make eye contact. "What if i need more details, who would i talk to?" The ferengi looked up this time, glaring at Xenais forehead. " I guess the Lt. Otrem on deck eleven," The barissta paused then added coldly "you should hurry and finish that," nodding towards Xenai's tea. "im closing up" {at 8:00 am?} Xenai sighed to herself and took a sip. {speciest!} "Of course, i need to get going anyway, Thank you for your help" she replied cheerfully, as she tipped her tea over, spilling it on the floor. "Oh my, clumsy me, i AM sorry" she said grinning, and walked out of the cafe. Cought up in how immaturely she had just behaved, she walked face first into a man's bouquet of flowers. "Excuse me" she jumped back, rubbing her nose. The fragrence was overpowering, it burned from her sinuses all the way through her forehead. "Watch where you're going" She smiled and nodded, and made her way to the turbolift, head still burning. === Deck 11: Lt. Otrem's Office === Lt. Otrem sat reclining behind his desk, as he reviewed the last week's arrivals. Something odd was happening on the station, and even if no one believed him, he made it his mission to figure out what. The door chimed. "Lt Otrem?" "Yes" he replied, eyes still glued to his collection of station records. Xenai smiled, and walked inside, still feeling dizzy from the flowers. "Hi, I was hoping you could tell me when the federation ship USS Chimera was schedualed to arrive?" "THE CHIMERA?" he looked up startelled. {A romulan!} "The Chimera you say" he said as cheerfully as possible but his voice shook. {where theres a romulan theres always misfortune, and one looking for the Chimera no less, This must be it, ive got this whole thing solved!} "Sit down my Dear, we'll get this all figured out!" He said, bubbling to the rim with excitment, as he pushed the call button for security underneath his desk. "Thank you sir, It was schedualed to arrive several quite a while ago but not to depart for several days yet, but its gone, I have to find them soon, before i get charged with dessertion." She smiled at her own joke. Otrem gave a fake chuckle, as sweat beaded his forhead and his hand twitched. The doors to his office slid open forcefully. Two armed men entered the room. "Ahh, gentlemen, its about time you got here, this young lady here seems to have lost her ship... the CHIMERA" he announced the last word with a smile. Xenai looked at the two armed men dumbfounded, wondering why her association to "the CHIMERA" required station security. They motioned her up. {they must be in trouble} "whats happened?" "shut up" one of the guards sneered. Xenai looked at him in surprise,"Excuse me?" He grabbed her arm, and jerked her along violently. "Don't pull that shit with me" he growled "We've had enough from you people" Eyes wide, mouth shut, Xenai walked obediantly. {enough of what?} As they made their way around the corner, approaching the turbolifts, a familer face caught Xenai's eye. {Lt. Blackburn! and thats... thats the CMO, and Idrani, the new engineer} They stood huddled together dressed in civilian clothing. As Xenai and her Security escort approached, they grew quiet, eyes sliding to the floor, faces hiding. {they're in trouble too....} Xenai wrestled with her options. She could call out to them, but that would get them noticed, something which they looked to be fiercly avoiding. She could break free of the guards and join her crew members, or she could do nothing say nothing and cooperate with security. The decision was made, and several seconds later her elbow connected to the guards nose. He stumbled back holding his face as the blood seeped between his fingers. She spun around, freeing herself, and kicked the other in the throat. Xenai shuddered as she felt his trechea crush under her heel. The two lay sprawled across the corridor, caughing and moaning. Without pause, Xenai grabbed their guns and ran towards the crew. =/\= END LOG =/\= Ens Xenai Alshain Assistant Engineer USS Chimera
