Timeline: 1000Hrs - April 9th, 2392

Talon Yeager was seated in the co-pilots chair of a Runabout that was ferrying supplies over to the USS Shinano. Talon and Davijaan had both refused any sort of VIP treatment while going over to their next assignment as both tended to prefer things to be as low key as possible.

"I'm sorry sir. ma'am. We're short a certified pilot to ferry you over." a Lt Commander was saying to Talon and Davijaan.

Sammy Yeager nodded, accepting the news while Talon started to think that going over via the ships transporter might have been a better option after all. "Thats alright. I am a certified pilot." Sammy was saying. "I'll run them over and drop off the consignment of supplies at the same time." the younger woman smiled.

"Thats great. Thank you." the man handed her a PADD. "Black Fourteen is your ship. She's right over there." as Sammy nodded, processing the news quickly. "Thank you sir. I'll look after this."

The man turned and went off to deal with his next problem as Sammy turned. "Come on guys." she smiled.

"You are.. actually a pilot... right?" Talon inquired.

"Of course... I am fully certified.." Sammy explained patiently.

The three of them located their runabout in short order, they climbed aboard and got things sorted out on their end. Sammy was in the middle of completing her preflight check as she smiled. "Yep... seals are good. engines are good... hull integrity is at a hundred percent. we're ready."

Davijaan tapped the com display. "Runabout Black Fourteen to tower. request permission to get underway."

"Copy that. you're next in line after Blacks Five and Nine."

"Copy that," Sammy responded as she activated the engine systems, the younger woman brought the runabout around as Black Five got underway quickly, the second runabout followed in quick succession and then Sammy guided the Runabout before she sped out of the hanger after being told it was safe to do so.

"There she is... Wow, look at the size of that thing.." Sammy breathed as the USS Shinano came into view.

Talon smiled. "I had no idea the Federation could build ships on that scale."

"They make them bigger than that." Davijaan Yeager chipped in.

"What?" Talon inquired.

"The Odin class is our largest next to the Valkyrie and the Typhon classes." he smiled.

Talon paused. "I've not heard of them," she responded as the Vishal class got larger and larger in the viewport. Sammy turned. "Alright. I'm going to drop you two at the entrance and then I'll head on and drop this consignment off. I'll catch up with you two later okay?"

"Sounds good Sam," Talon responded with a smile.

Davijaan got clearance to enter the hanger and Sammy kept her word, dropping Talon and her father off near the entrance to the hangar before she flew the Runabout further on towards the supply drop area.

Talon looked around. "Come on. Let's move!" and with that she picked up her pack, slipping it over her shoulders before she left the hangar bay. Davijaan following her in silence, his pack over his own shoulders.

Upon leaving the hanger, they found themselves facing a shorter then average Bajoran female who wore the rank of Commander and her uniform was command red, this marked her as one of Shinano's senior officers. "Welcome aboard Division Admiral. Captain." she greeted them as her smile widened. "Talon... Well, this 'is' a surprise."

"Syal. I was hoping we'd run into each other again." Talon commented with a smile. "Syal. Meet Davijaan Yager. My husband." the pregnant female turned. "Davijaan. meet Commander Duran Syal. She was my Chief Medical Officer while I was commanding the Fe'garren. Her husband was my Exec, he was a very good one too."

"Ahh. the legend herself." Davijaan gently shook the smaller woman's hand. "Talon has spoken of you at length... Its good to finally meet you Commander."

Duran regarded Davijaan Yeager, as she gave him a rather evil smile. "Well, I heard that Talon had finally gotten her divorce sorted out. I hated that guy for what he did." the small Bajoran explained. "I'm glad you found a decent guy Talon..."

Yeager raised an eyebrow as he regarded the small female before him. "Well I try.." he said just as the door behind them opened and out walked a rather tall, part Klingon female. "Okay.." she muttered to herself as she stepped forward. "Hello Commander." she addressed Duran.

"Welcome aboard Lieutenant. I assume you are assigned here too?"

"I'm assigned as the Admirals aide." The tall woman explained. "Lieutenant Samantha Yeager." as she offered her hand in the human custom.

"Ahh." Duran answered as she gently shook the larger womans hand. "His daughter I presume?", the short Bajoran female inquired, after noticing the similarities in looks between father and daughter.

"Yes." Yeager answered as she adjusted the straps of her pack.

"Right. Well we're heading down to the Quartermasters office so we find out where we're living and then we're going to settle in..." Talon explained evenly. "Tell me about your skipper."

"Fleet Captain Kell Donos... He's not you, thats for sure." Duran explained evenly. "But he's also not a bad guy... I also know he's hosting a reception aboard this evening to formally welcome you and your party... Its around eighteen hundred hours."

"In the main lounge?"

"No... Officers lounge on Deck Nine." Duran responded with a smile. "Fleet Admiral April Yamaguchi left us specific instructions on no formal gatherings and no nothing in regards to you. She must lead such a dull life."

"Well I wouldn't say that to her, if I were you." Talon responded with a soft smile. "April tens to get out more then I do... and you remember my habits?" Talon inquired with a grin.

"You enjoy sex Talon.." Duran answered. "Nothing wrong with that.." she added as she turned around, before she began walking down the hallway. Talon and Davijaan followed her as Sammy brought up the rear. "The quartermasters office is this way. " and the four moved off down the hallway towards their next destination.
