Mission: Mission 50: This Grey Spirit
Location: Various Locations - Battlecruiser Ryazar's Shield
Timeline: 1500Hrs - November 25th, 2391

Ryuukei picked himself off the floor. The ride was a rough one. As he gathered himself he looked around, asking," How is everyone."

Other crewmember's where in various states of recovery, while the ships systems started to come back online by themselves. Bihkami was one of the first ones to get back to her console. After taking a moment to review the incoming data, she listed off a preliminary damage report." Most of our systems are still rebooting. That wormhole was unstable so the ride was pretty roungh. However sublight engines and weapon systems as well as shields dont seem to be impaired. I'm running diagnostics on all systems though."

Ryuukei nodded," Do it, and find out where we are."

He then hit the com system saying," Ryuukei to talon, can you bring a couple of your science guys to the command center, we got transported somewhere, by a random wormhole."

Commodore Talon Hunt blinked her eyes as she slowly woke up. "Mmmm... No sauce please, I'm trying to cut down..." she moaned softly as she hauled herself up off of the deck. "Uhhh..." she paused as she felt three sets of hands gently steady her. "Easy skipper... you took quite a tumble."

"I'm okay.. I think." Talon sighed before the call from the command center came in, requesting science guys.

"I'm on my way... with a couple of my geeks." Talon responded to Ryuukei over the com. "Raymond, bring your two best... Lets go."

Lieutenant Raymond Sims nodded his head. "Yessir." he turned. "Marks, Parker.. Lets go."

The three followed Talon out the door.

Ryuukei waited patiently as all the systems restored themselves as the starfleet personnel walked onto the bridge. Looking over at them Ryuukei mentioned," Yeah, we ended up hitting a wormhole on our way out of that system, right now we have no idea where we are at at the moment."

Lieutenant Raymond Sims who had spent the last while becoming failure with Akurian tech. "I know where we are.." he commented a moment later. "We're about two billion kilometers from Alnilam."

Talon turned her head. "Impressive." she responded. "So... How far are we?"

"About twenty two hundred light years from where we just were." Sims responded as he regarded Talon with a pensive look. "We're orbiting a Blue Supergiant."

"I guess I'll want my sunscreen?"

"Times ten million skipper." Sims responded. "Otherwise the light will not only blind you, it'll cook you in your skin."

"How Romantic." Talon responded with glee.

Sims sighed softly, clearly he was used to this. "Anyway... Whats the status of the rest of the ship?" he inquired of the Akurians scattered around.

Ryuukei replied with. "Most of our systems are coming back up now, there doesn't appear to be any physical damage."

Mev slowly floated above one of the nearby consoles as he interrupted. "I don't know about anyone else but that felt bloody lovely."

Talon raised an eyebrow. "I get mashed into the deck and you call that wonderful?" she inquired as she tapped her combadge. "Yamaguchi to Yeager... are the kids alright?"

The response came back. "Yeah Talon. Just a lot of scared children but nothing serious... I'll keep you posted."

"Thank you Davijaan." Talon responded as she tapped the combadge affixed to her chest as she turned back to Sims. "So?"

"Well... We are definitely a long way from home.." Sims regarded her. "So... Road trip?"

Ryuukei did some quick mental math then added. "Well it wont take us more than 3-4 days to get back, but we might as well let starfleet command know what happened."

Talon nodded her head. "Alright." she sighed softly. "As much as I'd like to do some exploration while we're out here... nobody from the Federation has ever been here before.." she paused. "We're not far from the Barnard Loop..."

Kasana added. "Well unfortunately we don't really have a lot of exploration equipment onboard. Akurian ships don't invest as much in exploration gear, and most of the gear that we do have is not in the best shape."

Ryuukei nodded. "Yeah, we can do some basic charting but that's about it, might as well let a more specialized science vessel handle the heavy duty exploration work."

"Alright.." Talon sounded disappointed which it was easy to guess why. "When we finish with our repairs, lets get underway and head back to the Federation.... and see who else escaped this mess."

Ryuukei nodded then looked up at Bihkami. "Whats the status of our engines."

Bihkami looked over the incoming report. "They are restarting now, we should be FTL capable in no more than 10 minutes."

Ryuukei nodded, then asked. "Any damage with the ship so far."

Bihkami shook her head, No major structural or equipment damage it seems. Just whatever loose equipment that wasn't bolted to the deck may have gotten jostled around a bit."

Talon tapped her combadge with the fingertips of her right hand. "Yamaguchi to Mev?"

"Yeah Guv. Whats up?"

"Hows it going?"

"Its going alright. My guys and I are working at it.. we should be ready to go soon."

Ryuukei waited a few moments, then Bihkami finally gave the word," Alright, our drive systems are back, we're ready to go."

Ryuukei nodded," Alright, take us back to the federation then. Keep the ship at half speed though, we don't really have any charts for the region."

Talon nodded. "Raymond, get us some good scans of this area as we transit. I want to be able to convince Starfleet to send some science ships out here.."

"Willdo Skipper." and with that he turned and walked out the door without Talon dismissing him as she turned to her next task, like she didn't care.

"Sir. He just walked out..."

Talon nodded. "Yep... He's doing what I asked him to do..."
as she regarded the offending voice with her dark eyes. "Why.... is there a problem?"

"He is insubordinate!" Ensign Jane Smith almost demanded at Talon Yamaguchi

Talon raised an eyebrow. "How so?" she crossed her arms over her chest, under her breasts as she waited for an answer.

"Starfleet regulations protocol five, paragraph two subsection three specifically states that someone may not leave from the commanding officers presence without being dismissed."

Talon smiled, her eyes twinkled with mischief. "Ensign. Go away..." she responded. "Get... Out.... Go ask Arkeevai what he wants you to do..."

"Umm... " the Ensign paused. "He's big and scary!"

Talon regarded the other female. "Dismissed." there was something in her tone, she watched the other woman turn and depart in silence, before she sighed. "My children behave better then that."

Ryuukei gave a look in Talons direction. "What is with your organization and all its rules."

Talon shrugged her shoulders. "No idea." she replied breezily. "Not everyone in Starfleet is an ass... and not everyone is overly concerned about the rules and regs..." she paused. "Do... I come across... like I give a fat rats hairy ass about the rules of my organization?"

A few people snickered softly at that statement. "Aww Bollocks.. Looks like you got busted skipper."

"Aww.... No..." Talon whined. "I guess I'm screwed now.." as a smile suddenly crossed her lips.

Arumi then remembered where she ran into that ensign before, " Wasn't that the same ensign whom complained about us female Akurians not covering ourselves."

Talon shrugged. "Oh Probably." she sighed happily. "Mmmm Well what can I say?" she shrugged her shoulders as she gently sat back down in her chair. "Y'know... I might have to take this chair with me to my next posting... its... comfy."
