Mission: Mission 73: Near Misses and Close Encounters
Location: Various Locations - USS Tranquility
Timeline: 0800Hrs - March 28th, 2392

Lieutenant Tressa Riken regarded the center seat of Tranquility's bridge which she quickly realized that she could be seeing a lot of it in the weeks to come, she gently sat down in the center seat where Commander Siaxx Dvald-Sullivan would sit until about ten minutes ago when the heavily pregnant Bolian had called Tressa into the ready room and had elevated her to command the ship while Siaxx focused on her pregnancy. Fleet Captain Zuko Omakan had been present considering he was second in command of Roanoke's Squadron and that Siaxx had called him in to help her deal with the issue before her. She couldn't focus on the pregnancy and command this ship at the same time. It was crippling her ability operate effectively.

Siaxx had made the hard decision to step down until such time as her maternity leave ended after her baby was born, until then she was sure that Tressa would make an excellent replacement for her.

"I'll miss you Siaxx.." Rikan had commented, while Siaxx herself had kept the meeting short to promote Tressa to the center chair. This had caused Tressa a fine sense of dread as she had walked B'onaq as her acting Exec in addition to being the ship's Chief of the Boat so she had stuck in the Klingon woman's name and Siaxx had approved it, until someone else could be assigned out here.

The door opened and out came Chief Petty Officer B'onaq, the Klingon woman wore her uniform well in addition to the fact that she had a smile on her lips. "Morning skipper." she addressed Rikan.

"Hey number One... Shall we-" Rikan was interupted by a loud shout from the man she was half expecting and half dreading who was just entering the bridge from the main aft entrance. "Who do you think you are!" Shkreli snapped in Rikan's direction.

Rikan snorted. "Lieutenant Commander Shkreli... This is 'MY' Bridge now and you will-" was as far as she got before the man who was out of control

Shkreli turned to her. "I am rightful Captain of this vessel.. NOT you." he snarled at Rikan.

"You will address the Captain of this ship with more respect Lieutenant Commander." B'onaq hissed softly. "This is a ships bridge, not your public forum for bitching at everyone.."

"Why you little runt... You will learn your place woman."

Rather then get angry. B'onaq simply smiled before she laughed softly at him. "Awww. Are you that easily rattled?" the Klingon female taunted him.

Rikan turned her head as she nodded to the Chief of Security who was nearby but he didn't get the chance as Fleet Captain Zuko Omakan intervened

Zuko's comment was simple. "Shkreli, you are not assigned as the ships captain, therefore you are not the captain, and that is final."

"Like you'd know... I outrank her.." he indicated Rikan who was still seated in the chair as B'onaq growled loudly. "If you didn't wear the uniform..." she stopped herself with there before she indicated him with her finger. "Punk assed fool..."

At that point Zuko's patience just snapped, having had enough of starfleet officers bickering, so he deliberately got in Shkreli's face, growlin. "Listen you little shit, Lieutenant Rikan is in charge, and if you keep giving me attitude, I'll have your little punk ass chaptered out of starfleet for insubordination." Zuko deliberately showed his long fangs indicating he meant business.

Riken simply smiled. "Mister Shkreli... Would you please... come with me into my ready room... Its well past time I dealt with you." the smaller human female stood up before she went over towards the ready room door. "Now...Mister."

Shkreli followed her. "I outrank-"

"I don't recall giving you leave to speak mister." Rikan turned, but the doors opened and out walked Commander Siaxx Dvald-Sullivan, a duffel over one shoulder. She peered across the bridge as she narrowed her eyes. "Mister Shkreli. I'm going to make it my mission to get rid of you." the Bolian said bluntky.

Shkreli rolled his eyes. "Oh please... Like you could try."

Dvald-Sullivan growled ever so softly. "Know that you have single handedly caused me and this crew more misery then anyone has any right to... I'm going to see you're career turn to ashes for this... Mark my words.." and with that, Dvald-Sullivan turned to depart.

"Right... Mister Shkreli... Lets go.. Zuko, you wanna be around for this...?." Rikan inquired. "I do not trust him."

Siaxx regarded Zuko. "There is no need for you to be present Zuko. I can handle this." before Riken led the Bolian and the jackass of an officer into her ready room.

Dvald-Sullivan tapped the display as she contacted Firespirit. Once he was on the screen. Siaxx explained why she was contacting him then she explained the situation, also Siaxx downloaded several files for his reading pleasure or rather the small Bolian suspected, the lack thereof. A moment went by after Siaxx had finished before she went onto what she requested of him, in short it was a reassignment for a malcontent officer who was a Lt Commander and a temporary promotion to Lt Commander for someone else.

Siaxx smiled as she got what she wanted. "Tressa. I am frocking you to the rank of Lt Commander, it'll only be temporary but it'll let you command this ship for the foreseeable future, you may end up keeping this ship permanently, You will need a new Exec until as such time as I come back or your new posting becomes permanent."

"Thank you skipper..." Tressa Riken responded, she did not smile as the assignment did not come the way she had prefered.

Siaxx turned to Shkreli. "You will depart from this room, go back to your quarters and pack your things, you are gone... you are ordered to report to Starbase 12 where you will fill out an administrative posting in their hospital until your time in Starfleet is done."

"How-How dare you!"

"Get out." Siaxx responded darkly. "Do not cause me to have you arrested too for conduct unbecoming.. Considering every time you open your mouth, you are guilty of that offense."

"Why you little bitch!"

Siaxx sighed softly as she tapped her combadge. "Dvald-Sullivan to bridge. Please send two MP's to the skipper ready room. Mister Shkreli is under arrest."

"They are on their way skipper."

"Do you think I will just let you do this... How dare you do this to me!" Shkreli roared at Siaxx who simply regarded him with an implacable stare.

"Yes... I can." the door opened and in walked two rather large and burly security officers. "and I am... gentlemen. please escort Mister Shkreli to his quarters, help him pack his bags and then escort him off this ship... He can do his time in the Starbase brig, not here." Siaxx responded. "Thank you."

"No worries skipper." the leader responded. "Lets go." he added to Shkreli in an annoyed tone of voice.

"I will have my vengeance upon you for this.."

"Sure.. are you done talking... please... get out!" and with that Siaxx went over to the replicator as Shkreli was escorted out the door and into a turbolift.

Siaxx sighed. "Finally." she turned to Riken. "Any last questions?"

"No... I'll look after things why your gone." the shorter then average human female responded with a sigh before she gave Siaxx a gentle hug. "Take care Siaxx... I want you back in the center seat."

"We shall see.." and with that the small Bolian turned and departed without another word or sound, leaving Tressa Rikan to settle in as the new skipper of the USS Tranquillity.
