Location: Various Locations - USS Shadow
Timeline: 0800Hrs - February 20th, 2390

Corporal Dillon, Private Werner and Private Amlari were in the armory doing maintenance checks on Re-Breather Masks. Dillon had a PADD in his hands and was doing the paperwork. Werner and Amlari were physically checking each mask.

"Alright Werner, how is number 37?" Dillon asked.

"All good." he answers while inspecting the mask.

"How does number 38 look Amlari?" Dillon asks the Ryi.

"Um, there is a crack in the attachment point." Amlari replies while studying the defective part.

"Alright, set it aside." Dillon tells her while writing on his PADD. "Don't want that to fall off any ones face while they are wearing it."

Just then, Singh and Wong came into the area. They looked a little excited.

"Where have you two been?" Werner asked.

"On the Promenade. There was this pretty little Bajoran girl there having coffee." Wong replied.

"And why would I care what kind of girl gave you the warm and fuzzies?" Werner asked Wong.

Wong and Singh looked at each other and smiled. Wong turned again to Werner. "Because we overheard her talking to someone. Shes a Marine and assigned to the Shadow!" Wong said in a slightly excited voice.

With the last sentence Amlari stuck her head up. Now she was interested in the conversation.

"And she is good looking?" Werner asked again.

"A petite cutie!" Wong replied.

"That made my day. We could use a good looking women around here. I mean one that is not an officer or NCO." Werner explained.

Ryi gave Werner a shocked look but he was oblivious to her response.

"Yeah, and one that isn't so tall. There is just something a little to manly about a tall women." Dillon now adding his thoughts.

"I agree, something not right about an amazon like woman." Singh agreed with Dillon.

"You do realize I am standing here?" Ryi asked, a little angry.

"What color hair did she have?" Werner asked.

"Black I think, maybe a dark brown." Singh replied.

The four males ignored Amlari, who was now dark purple in color and gritting her teeth.

"I think it was brown." Wong corrected Singh.

The sound of the doors opening to signaled that someone had come into the armory.

"That's her!" Wong quietly told the group.

A attractive, petite women in civilian clothes came into view, Tienn Nerra wore a floor length
medium brown cassock which went from floor to her head and covered every inch of her with
the exception of her face.

Amlari made a bee line for her.

"Hello Princess. Why are you here?" Ryi asked the shorter girl.

"I'm here to check in and find my billet." Tienn answered without emotion.

"Ahw, isn't that cute? She wants to be a real Marine. Listen cupcake, this place might be too much for a wee person such as yourself. Why don't you just turn around and go back to the promenade? You can get yourself a tall glass of chocolate milk and some cookies. You can get assigned somewhere that's better for you. Maybe something with unicorns." Ryi told the petite women in a condescending manner.

Tienn smiled, it wasn't a pretty or nice smile. "Sounds good to me Private, I hear Andor is a lovely place where its peaceful and quiet. I'm sure there are unicorns there." she responded as she quickly slipped off the cassock, revealing her armor plating that she wore, her rank of 2nd Lieutenant was curiously absent so she didn't have a set rank but what really set her apart was the two rather evil looking daggers she kept on her belt and the small shortsword she kept on her back, the hilt could be seen just over her shoulder, all three looked almost Dominion in origin. "These were gifts from my siblings..." and with that, she grinned.

Ryi figured out that her attempt at intimidation didn't work. She thought about just leaving the conversation at that but now a small crowd of Marines had formed. She had to see this through.

"That may be true of Andor." Ryi said politely "We keep a lot of secrets because unlike some other races we never let our planet be occupied by a foreign race." Ryi told her with a malicious grin. Ryi looked her over again. "Your little knives are so quaint. When you finally find yourself a little sissy of a mate maybe you can use that to cut up his fruit and vegetables. I'm sure he couldn't handle digesting meat. I'm sure you don't carry a real weapon is because it is just too heavy for a cupcake like yourself."

"I'm going to give you a little advice... Don't ever call me cupcake ever again." and with that she grinned at the taller Andorian, she could hear a couple of the guys wincing and gulping as if she was intimidating.

"Oh I'm ever so sorry Princess" Ryi knew that the short stranger wanted her to use "cupcake" so Ryi decided against it for now.

"Am I going to have to teach you some manners... Private?" she inquired.

That last comment really bristled Ryi. "I don't know how you think you are you little runt but you are the one who will learn her place." Ryi stated with a snear on her face.

"Really.." Tienn almost grinned at the Privates nerve. "I guess thats how its going to be then..." as the Bajoran woman sighed. "Do you guys have a training ring around here?"

"Um, yeah." Werner kind of mumbled. "It's right over there." He stated and pointed off behind him.

"Excellent. I'm going to enjoy cutting you down to size... after I get a little paperwork issue sorted out... Private." she made the last word sound like an insult. "But tell me something first... Where would you like the body delivered?"

"Don't flatter yourself shrimp." Ryi shot back.

Tienn sighed before she proceeded to crack her knuckles. "First tell me about your boyfriend?, I wanna know something about the guy I will be consoling tonight." she then grinned at the taller Andorian.

"Oh, your not going to be talking to anybody with all your teeth knocked out!" Ryi snapped.

By this time there was a bigger crowd of Marines, although one Marine slipped away.

Tienn chuckled. "I was expecting something more subdued in terms of a welcome but.... you lot are clearly more alive then I had been expecting." she reached behind her as she scratched an itch that was brewing at the nape of her neck. "So... Andorian, are you finished yet?, or shall I cut you down to size?" before she gently grasped the hilt of her sword.

"What are you going to do? Cut me with your knife cupcake?" Ryi said, egging the Bajoran on.

Tienn smiled darkly. "I wouldn't dirty my blade... Private." she narrowed her eyes. "Seriously though... are you done making an ass of yourself in front of everyone?. I do have other things to do then stand here and make nice with you..." the Bajoran rolled her eyes. "Seriously... are you always like this or just throwing a party for me?" she paused. "Because you got to the count of three to get the fuck out of my face."

"Did you count to three for the Cardassians?" Ryi asked with a nasty little smile.

Tienn hissed angrily. "Now you die!" and with that she went for her blade as a voice cut through the air.

Tienn remained motionless, her fury blazed like red fire but she remained motionless. "Private Ryi Amlari." she commented quietly. "You.. are mine."

"Alright you two privates break it up!" Gunny Hobbs screamed. "The rest of you go back to work before I put you all on report!" She yelled at the crowd while motioning with her hands to shoo.

she said quietly. "Do you welcome all your new members like this?" she deliberately kept her voice down as she was half tempted to follow the Andorian, trip her and then smash her face into the deck plating a few times.

"So there ain't gunna be a cat fight?" Werner asked out loud.

"Don't walk away Amlari!" Hobbs yelled. "I want you in my office."

"So that's how it is.... its because I'm the FNG." she knew the rank issue that she had ignored would return to bite her good and hard on her ass. "I'm gonna go get that sorted out right now." she walked over to the Gunny as she handed her a PADD. "Gunny... my orders."

Hobbs took the PADD. "No honey, it's because your holding several blades out at one of my privates." Hobbs tried to explain in a cooler voice. She looked over the PADD. "Oh, your an officer." Hobbs said, a little surprised.

"Yes well... I'm not a Private, I transferred over from the Navy.. with the rank of full Lieutenant... there is a rank issue I should have addressed, clearly my lack of doing so has cost me... I'm going to go and see the Major."

"I'm sorry. We weren't expecting you. I don't know what got into the private but I'll deal with her. I'll take you to see Major Ruhr." Hobbs told Tienn.

"Its okay Gunny, I'll go see the Major, I need a moment to calm down anyway..." Tienn admitted quietly. "I was not expecting that sort of a welcome from anyone."
