Location: ACSF Noble
Timeline: Apr 21st 2392

Minske Hyuro observed from the Noble's Command center as Noble detached her docking cradle, in preparation for tracking down this wormhole. With her were several Federation and Klingon officers were present whom would help the Fleet navigate.

Captain Worf regarded the personnel gathered in the large command center in silence, the ship he was on was truly impressive in many ways and while he opted not to say much on the matter. He decided that the Federation personnel would assist as best they could. "Whats on your mind Commander?"

Aurelian Saunders turned to regard Worf. "I was just thinking of home... Will we see it again?"

"I hope so. I miss the company of my family... I am sure you miss yours too." Worf responded while he regarded the older human female before him.

"I do Worf." the older human female responded evenly. "Besides. This is easily the most impressive ship I've ever been on."

"Agreed," Worf responded in a light tone of voice.

Minske got the report from the fleets scouts, and they confirmed, the enemy that had attacked the Klingons and the Federation ship had fled. "Well, the way is all clear. given our inability to use FTL in the maze, it will be days before we reach the next wormhole, so feel free to roam the ship as you please."

Worf nodded. "Thank you. I will inform my crew that they have leave of the ship but that they should mind the rules," he responded.

Saunders smiled. "I'll take care of it skipper." and with that, the older human female turned and slipped away.

Norsvin left the command center in silence. Shortly after leaving he mentioned. "So, what do you think we should visit first today."

Alyssa shrugged," Who knows," I wouldn't know where to start. Looks like the Akurians do have some equivalent to a holodeck, but they also have a lot of other things too, theaters, dance halls, bars, restaurants of all kinds, amusement parks, even nature preserves of all things."

Saunders smiled. "Pick one... any one," she responded. "This place is better equipped than most Starbases." the older female explained. I'm going to go visit one of the amusement parks and then find me a human to bed... If you guys will excuse me...." she paused. "What.. you don't think I can find me someone to bed?" Saunders grinned. "I might be old but I'm told I still look sexy."

Alyssa gave Saunders a funny look. "You realize you are younger than the vast majority of the individuals on this ship, they just all have some really good anti aging technology."

"Oh I doubt they'll just share that with us." the older human female responded. "What... I just walk into some sick bay and ask them for it..." she then chuckled softly. "Okay, Alyssa... I'll see if I can find a sick bay... I wouldn't mind looking forty again."

"On the contrary," Norsvin replied. "They have no problems treating anyone."

Saunders raised an eyebrow. "Oh?" she paused. "Okay.. well I'm sure that getting twenty years off my looks back will be a great help.." before she turned and departed.

A moment later Lieutenant Michael Ward came around the corner. "Hey... anyone seen the Commander?" there was no doubt about 'who' the commander was.

"you just missed her," Norsvin commented," She went to go get anti aging treatments."

Ward paused. "Oh..." he responded quietly. "I'll catch up with her later then, it's not really all that important." he sighed. "It's about the final fate of the Big-E." Ward briefly explained that the Akurians wanted to add her to the large mothball fleet of Federation ships they had and they he couldn't find Captain Worf either.

"Knowing my luck they are in the same medical facility..." Ward added a moment later.

Norsvin nodded. "Yeah and unfortunately it's not as easy trying to locate people on this ship. Trying to ask the computer in our normal manner doesn't work, either because the akurian computers don't have that function or it doesn't recognize our voice patterns. And the vast majority of us do not know the Akurian language, or the human language of their nation well enough to use their computers the old school way."

Alyssa then added. "Well on the plus side Massie is at their command center using a portable computer from the ship to set up a comm server so our combadges will work again."

Ward nodded, the news he was hearing was not exactly what he would have called good news but then it could always have been worse. "Do we need a subspace carrier wave for the com system to work for us?" he inquired.

Alyssa shook her head. "No, we have figured out an alternate way to use them."

"Nice work," Ward responded evenly. "So we'll have an easier time staying in touch..." he then sighed softly. "Do you think the crew will settle down here and scatter to the four winds?"

Norsvin shrugged. "Eh from what I have been able to ascertain, most are going to stay here on this ship, at least for the time being. Most hope that we can find a way back. After that, who knows."

"Well... I personally would like to find a way home... I know it exists... It's just in the Sherman system... Somewhere.." Ward responded. "I know my guys are taking time off.. Which honestly... they earned along with everyone else."

"If that wormhole is stable," Alyssa added," If the wormhole is not stable then we won't have a viable way back through there."

"Well that's not stopping the Akurians from Trying," Norsvin replied. They are just as motivated to find the thing as we are."

"Well anyway," Alyssa suggested, "There are some restaurants on the ship that have been recommended to me, why don't we have a crew get together at one of them, for those that want to come."

Ward nodded. "I like it. We have a lot to celebrate actually. The vast majority of us are alive and well. We've found some allies and we're with a little luck, heading home."

Alyssa looked at a map, she had, one that was kindly translated to their language. "Alright, there is this one restaurant here I Want to try, it's said to not just be a restaurant but also a stage as well, with things like dancers and music going on, how about it."

Ward smiled. "Sure, why not... It sounds like it could be diverting," he responded.

Alyssa nodded. "alright, well let's inform the crew, we will be there in two hours."

Ward nodded his head. "Alright. I'll go and see to it." and with that, he turned and walked off.

A few moments later, the doors to the nearby medical center opened and out walked Commander Aurelian Saunders, she looked refreshed and healthy. "Hey guys... waiting for me?" the older woman inquired.

Norsvin looked at Aurelian," No not really, but while you're here we might as well tell you about dinner plans."

Alyssa pointed on her man. "Yeah we intend to meet up with whomever in the crew wants to go to this restaurant in about 2 hours, have a get-together."

"Nothing wrong with that," Saunders responded. "I assume someone is already contacting the crew at present?"

Norsvin gave her a sarcastic look. "No, we were just hoping they would all figure it out telepathically."

"Why, thank you, professor," Saunders responded in a rather amused tone. "I had no idea you were a telepath... Darwin would be crushed.." she gave him a look of derision. "Now shut up.."

Alyssa gave Saunders a look. "What the hell is your problem."

Saunders sighed. "I need a shower... I'm going to go and find my assigned suite, wherever that is.." and with that, the older woman growled as a strange human female passing by, turned her head and came over. "Medical treatments getting to you.?"

Saunders regarded the strange woman. "That's a matter of perspective."

"Well, you were de-aged about twenty years in one sitting...Your body is adjusting." the young woman smiled.

"Pardon me for asking... but who are you?" Saunders responded quietly. "You look about... thirty?"

"I am Tiliae Lasky," she responded with a cheery smile. "I look thirty you say. Well I feel flattered about that but... I am not thirty years old..." she paused as her grin widened. "I am also a member of this ship's crew... Is everything going well?"

Both Alyssa and Norsvin nodded with Alyssa saying. "Eh, just trying to get the crew together for a night out."

Saunders paused. "Excuse me folks." and with that she moved off, heading for the bathrooms.

Tiliae watched in silence as a smile appeared on her face. Ward, however, was the one to comment. "Well... I was wondering how long she'd last."

The Cardassian officer smiled. "What do you mean by that..?"

"Well. Isn't it obvious?" Ward inquired. "Our good Exec is young again... She's gone from the body of a sixty-year-old woman to a fortyish-year-old in one sitting...."

"Your not making sense," Lamek commented with a sigh.

"I think it's cute.." Ward answered. "Anyone here figured it out yet?"

Tiliae Lasky chuckled softly. "I assume you are going to tell us?"

"In a moment. yes." Ward answered.
