Captain Bolvar Fordragon was wearing his normal uniform on duty today as he handed off the last of his paperwork to his yeoman, one Master Chief Sine Chan who nodded. "Yes, consider this all done." she responded in her voice, she sounded almost like a native of Seoul, South Korea on Earth but she was actually from Arcadia Colony, along with her husband, one Captain Kell Donos who was off commanding the USS Shinano, one of the new Vikrant Class Fleet Carriers.

Kell had called the 'Ticon' as his mistress while Sine was his wife so rather then react with jealously or get angry, she had decided to try something else, needless to say what she had in mind resulted in her walking funny for two or three days but it worked quite well.

The Highlord regarded her as he knew his yeoman quite well, he could almost hear her thinking of her husband on his own ship and while he was happy to have her around, he knew he could never keep her, nor did he ever wish to try. "Thank you Master Chief."

"Your welcome sir. I will go tend to this paperwork and be back when I finish." and with that the middle aged woman who still looked young got up and walked out the door as the doorbell beeped.

"Yeah Paul, come in...." as Bolvar rose to his feet. "Captain Vrr'Srhann'rr." he greeted her in passable Caitian. "Welcome aboard. I am Captain Bolvar Fordragon."

Vrr'Srhann'rr greeted Fordragon in Caitian, her native tongue as the two exchanged pleasantries before turning to Paul. "I see what you meant."

"I did warn you."

"Warn her about what?" Fordragon inquired, a smile on his face.

"Why you were addressed as the Highlord, sir... Siranna didn't know and so I thought it best that you two met."

"You two have known each other for awhile I assume?"

Paul smiled. "About eleven years or so, yessir... the Captain and I have a good deal of history."

"Nice. That's wonderful news." Fordragon responded. "I assume Selene took that badly?"

"Somewhat, she is protective of Paul." Siranna responded. "I had to explain to her that I was not going to borrow her husband, I am married and I would not stoop to that level, it is beneath me." she turned to Paul. "I would not dream of asking you to cheat on your wife with me, again, it is beneath me."

Paul raised an eyebrow. "That's good to know." but he already knew that while he handed a PADD to the Highlord. "This is for you, its the preliminary report from Celeste and myself regarding the shuttle we recovered."

"Summarize it for me?"

"We got nothing... Selene and I have not given up but we'd like your approval to ask Siranna here to give us a hand... she has skills that would be highly useful to us."

Siranna blinked her large eyes in silence as Fordragon nodded. "Go for it, if Siranna here wishes to assist you then I will not deny her." he paused. "It'll give you three a chance to catch up and a chance to get to know each other.... and maybe we can find some answers to this puzzle but you have my permission..."

"Thank you sir... hopefully this isn't all a total waste of our time."

"That's my hope too Paul. Anything else you two need?"

"Nope, that's it." Paul responded as he rose to his feet.

"Alright, on your way then." as Paul nodded before he turned and departed.

Fordragon regarded the Caitian female who lingered a moment longer. "Its a shame we can't chat longer Highlord but I had best go make myself useful."

Fordragon chuckled softly. "Fair enough then. Good Hunting. I'm going to go down to sickbay and see if my medical staff hasn't shaken loose anything.." as he almost chased Siranna out of his office and onto the bridge.

The turbolift doors opened and the three of them entered, they each gave their destinations and the lift sped off to the first destination which was sickbay, simply because Fordragon was the skipper, the system was a compromise that nobody like but moments later the doors opened and off stepped the Highlord.

Siranna regarded Paul Dragon. "I see why he's called the Highlord.

"I said he was not the normal Starfleet Captain..." Dragon smiled.
