USS Hartington Conference room
Lieutenant Toran

Toran followed Calodan out of the conference room, she begins speaking rapidly.

"I am very sorry for the intrusion, this wasn't my idea. Captain Marek put this all in motion without checking with me first and I don't want to give him the wrong impression but I really think I just need.. " She trails off as she looks at Calodan's expression, so much like the way her brother would look at her when she was excited or nervous, and tears start flowing unbidden.

Captain Marek

"Thank you, Captain Brennon. I appreciate your candor, and your assistance. Is there anything I may do for you before I return to the Guardian?" Marek was thinking of the Admiral's request, he suspected that Lieutenant Croft had no desire to speak about his father, if Marek's past experience with human's was any indicator.

Calodan was taken aback at the woman in front of him. He had no idea how to handle her sobbing and just reached out and put his hand on her shoulder. "Easy Lieutenant. Maybe we should take a detour to the Counselors office before hitting the lounge." He started steering her towards the turbolifts.

Location: Conference Room, USS Hartington
Character: Captain Brennon

He shook his head at the other Captain's question.

"I can't really think of anything, Captain Marek. To be honest, I think you're getting the more exciting assignement out of the deal. We may be the vanguard, the glory hound here, but you're getting to do some real science... the real exploration."

A friendly smile crossed Brennon's face as he spoke the next words.

"Truth be told, I'm a little jealous of it. You're a lucky man, Captain."

Location: Conference Room, USS Guardian
Character: Commander Gaer

Having just scared the daylights out of the last Ensign who crossed his path, Gaer was uninterested in all the bluster for the next new crewmen. Truth be told, his disdain for humans wasn't as great as he had played it to be -- though he didn't consider them to be the best Engineers in the galaxy. He was pleased when the new Engineer turned out to be a Grazerite.

"Welcome Ensign. I've seen your record, I trust you'll be comfortable here."

USS Hartington Conference Room
Captain Marek

Marek watched the Captain smile.
"I would have to agree with you, Captain. The chance to explore new worlds has become a rarity in Starfleet." Marek stood. "With your leave Captain, I have some business to attend to before I depart."

USS Hartington, Turbolift
Lieutenant Toran

"Easy Lieutenant. Maybe we should take a detour to the Counselors office before hitting the lounge."

She pulled a tissue out of her pocket. She forced herself to breath deeply.

"That won't be necessary, the Guardian has a counselor if I feel the need. You just reminded me of my brother, he and my mother both work.."She corrects herself," worked for the Joining Commission. After the riots I lost contact and I'm not sure if they are even alive."

OOC sorry for the delayed posts, sick kids at the homestead.

"You'll report to Chief Roe in Engineering for duty. As for what he's like... have you ever met an Efrosian before Ensign?"

USS Guardian: Conference Room

"Unfortunately, sir, I have not."
Mehv looked a little more intently at the Commander wondering what he was going to say next. His nostrils flared a little as he unconsciously took in the scents of the room.

OOC I think I'm going to end the trill line of this, I thought with the trill storyline going and my trill NPC it might make for an interesting time with Calodan and Qech but it seems to have just fizzled. I have one more post to add for Marek and Croft and then I think this is done.

USS Hartington Turbo lift
Captain Marek

Marek had checked with the ships computer, it appeared that Lieutenant Croft was in one of the holodecks. As the lift doors opened, Marek took a moment to get his bearings, then headed down the hallway. A few short minutes later, he arrived at the holodeck. He took a moment to collect himself, This is an illogical request, the Admiral should not put his officers in the midst of a family dispute He pushed a command on the controls and the familiar whir of the door cycling greeted his ears. He stepped into the holodeck, getting his bearings. The simulation was the bridge of an Intrepid class starship. The ship was at red alert, smoke was coming from several consoles, and two bodies where lying on the ground. Croft was in the command chair, barking out orders.

"Helm, evasive pattern delta three, tactical fire torpedoes, full spread!"

Marek glanced at the holographic tactical officer for a moment, the spoke.

"Computer, pause program." The room went from a cacophony of light and sound to silence. Croft looked around, obviously angry, until he saw Marek.

"What the... Oh Captain Marek." Croft jumped to his feet, "Just running some training drills." Croft wiped sweat from his brow absentmindedly.

Marek approached Croft, his hands clasped behind his back.

"At ease, Lieutenant, I only wished to speak with you for a moment."

Croft relaxed his posture, but he was anything but relaxed.

"What about, sir?"

Marek hesitated for a moment, then plowed on.

"Just before the Guardian set out for Deep Space 9, I was contacted by Admiral Croft." Marek paused, the tension was obvious in Croft, he had begun clenching his jaw.

"Yes...Sir?" Croft's voice was even, but his lips barely moved.

Marek chose is words carefully.

"He wanted me to inquire as to your condition, and to tell you that he is concerned for your welfare, and would like you to contact him." Marek watched Croft carefully, as he sensed the tension building.

Croft fought the rage that was building as the Vulcan spoke, He's a commanding officer, don't lose your cool When Marek finished speaking, Croft counted to ten before responding.

"Was that all, Captain." Croft was careful to keep his voice civil. Marek just nodded. Croft folded his arms slowly, carefully relaxing his fisted hands.

"You may tell my father that you delivered his message. If you'll excuse me, Sir." Croft didn't wait for a response, but strode quickly to the exit, leaving an intrigued Marek behind.

"Computer, end simulation."
