Mission:
Episode 107 – Recovery
Location: SS Khrysaros
Bridge, SS Khrysaros
The Spirit class ship had the pleasure of transporting Lwazanda Ral, Daughter of the Fifth House of Betazed, to Starbase 400. The Khrysaros was something of a personal yacht for Lwazanda, and she had gotten much use out of it the past four years while travelling around the Quadrant.
The Bridge, located on Deck 2 of the vessel, was small. Despite its size, it was always a hive of activity. Today was no exception.
Lwazanda made her way down the staircase that led from the Deck One Observation Lounge to the ships commander center. “What in Holy Rixx is the hold up people?” She demanded as she descended the last step.
The Bridge staff looked nervous. “There seems to be a heavy Starfleet presence in the sector, and evidence of battle ma’am.” Said the Captain.
Sighing, Lwazanda stepped forward. “Do I have to do everything myself?” She sounded annoyed. “Is there any battle activity now?” She asked in a patronising tone.
“No ma’am, but..” The Captain sounded nervous.
“But nothing. Proceed to Starbase 400.” She placed her hands on her hips. “Reply the armour of it will help you sleep better.” Lwazanda scoffed, turning to depart the bridge.
“You heard her, deploy armour and resume course.” The Captain moved to his station and sat.
Lwazanda Ral’s Stateroom, SS Khrysaros
Having made her way from the Bridge to her cabin, Lwazanda took the opportunity to absorb the information that she had received on the Bridge.
She sat down at her desk and activated the Comm control. “Janice Bremer, Starbase 400.” She said.
The computer chirped in response. "Unable to establish connection." The standard Betazoid computer voice said.
“Dammit Janice.” Lwazanda clenched her fists. “Starbase 400, this is Lwazanda Ral aboard the SS Khrysaros. We are approaching now. Please respond.”
The connection crackled a moment, then became clear. "This is Starbase 400. "
Lwazanda clutched her collar in relief. "I'm glad to hear a voice." She said.
"We've just retaken the station. If you're offering help I'm sure we could use it."
A million thoughts swam through Lwazanda's head. "Let me put you through to the Captain of the ship." There was a mix of emotions lacing her voice. She was joyful and confused, and sorrowful all at the same time.
After few minutes, she felt the ship speed increase beneath her feet. 'Racing home.' She thought.
