Life aboard Vontak Nor

"All clear for departure, General. You have but to say the word, and we're on our way."

[Randall Sanchez]

*Sanchez attempted to hide his disappointment, when Burma told him that Zayan was not on the station, but couldn't hide the expression of surprise on his face, when Burma said that she was looking for him... But as a captain, he had to keep things professional.*
"Very well, I will prepare Varnek to beam over, and maybe we will speak again soon. Sanchez out."

[Randall Sanchez]

"Starfleet apparently judges that Varnek speaks truth, and poses no danger at all. So we will have no discussion about that right now, Mr. HK47. We are here on a diplomatic mission, after all."
*Then he turns to Marcet and Burma.*
"So here is Mr. Varnek, as I was ordered. Also, I hope you don't mind that I have granted my crew some shoreleave on this station, for a few days."

[Zayan]

OFF: Vorlok, Embries is not here.  He is on the Evolution along with Sanchez and Emrodel http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>  Only Svensson, Enoch, Zayan, and Avelsa are on Vontak Nor.

[Peter Svensson]

"I am certain that it is no Starfleet secret, or I would know the answer to it."
*Svensson smiles.*
"But I'm not sure if the question can be answered by general Zayan, for possible religious reasons."

[KHa Var]

"I'm looking for someone."

*KHa'Var sniffs the air once, then glares around the room looking for anyone who might be hiding or become a threat.*

"Or in another way you could say that I am looking for a few people."

[Marcet]

*He takes the Padd and then reads the name of Zayan. He stops and turns to KHa Var.*

"You are looking for General Zayan? What has she done ..? She hasn't got something to do with the dissapearing of your son? Right? "

[Marcet]

"I understand, I shall be here if anyone seeks me http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>"

*Marcet turns to his console and goes to work again*

[Marcet]

OFF: Welcome Mr Jaral. There have been some changes since you left. The Hideki Mora has been destroyed and this station is now a "joint" station of Cardassian/Loxian/Federation. But it's still in need of new crew http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. The Romulan Sub-Commander should by the way, better be used on Khazara Station, so you may want to report in there with that character.

For Jaral and Jaheel, there are various positions available on this station. So please tell me, in what department you are most interested in? I will then assign you to a certain position http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Marcet]

*Marcet greets Sanchez in the same way*

"It surely is Captain, maybe this time we can proceed without fights and near-death experiences. But enough talk, let me and Zayan show you what the Loxian refugees have build here"

*Marcet nods to Zayan and then sees the rest of Sanchez' away-team. He thought that he would introduce himself later, there were other things to attend to first*

[Zayan]

*Sanchez gently taps Zayan's cheeks, trying to bring her around.  She slowly moves her head and opens her eyes.  When Zayan realizes that she is laying down on a bed with Sanchez leaning over her, She bolts upright.  Hitting her head against Sanchez'.*

"What are you doing in my quarters?!  The last thing I remember was going to the bar because my troubled thoughts would not let me sleep."

*Sanchez carefully explained what had happened, while rubbing the recently acquired lump on his head.  Zayan listens to him, giving Sanchez the benefit of the doubt.*

"Thank you, for bringing me back to my quarters in such a state.  Even though you did not have to do so, you did it.  You have shown to me that you are a good friend and ally."

*Zayan feels obligated to do something to show her appreciation, as words do not seem to be enough.*

"My thoughts have been troubled, as of late, by a small object.  Can you promise me that no matter what, it will remain as one of my possessions and not be confiscated?"

[Zayan]

OFF: well maybe you could receve a report on Zayan's actions in the bar and decide to "ban" her from it permenently, run the station, or just water the park with a sprinkler can. :-P  It is fortunate that she did not drink the 'Loxian's Winter Tonic' (her own personal vintage), she would be asleep for at least a month if not for one season-- instead of a few days.  http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[Gul Dunar]

*At that moment, a communication from station ops comes in.*
"Gul Dunar to the ship Va'jux. You are clear for departure. Have a safe journey. Vontak Nor out."
*In front of the ship, the large shuttlebay doors slowly slide open, and space becomes visible, with in the distance the asteroid field of the Dark Passage.*

[Roland Burma]

=^= Greetings, sir. I do not believe we have met before, but welcome to Vontak Nor nevertheless. You are clear to dock at upper pylon 3. You say you are here for an investigation? That is fast, the incident on the Evolution only accured a matter of minutes ago. =^=

[Avelsa]

*Avelsa lowers the padd she was taking notes on.*

"That would be wonderful.  But tell me, how were you able to build a temple out of 'real ancient stone'?  Or is that a secret of your people of which you are not allowed to answer?"

*Looks meaningfully at Svensson.*
