An Andorian shuttlecraft de-cloaked next to the station. The ship was obviously heavily-damaged.

'Dathon to StarPhoenix Base. Requesting permission to dock. I was on my way from planet Andor back to Avalon Station, when my ship was attacked by some pirates. As you can see, I'm in need of some urgent repairs.'

The first that Dathon saw, when he had re-materialized aboard Starphoenix Base, was a man standing in front him. As was obvious from his rank symbols, the man was a Commodore and from the colour of his uniform the Admiral concluded that the man was one of the station's leading officers.

The officer welcomed Dathon and introduced himself as Commodore Stone, StarPhoenix' Chief of Operations.

'Thank you, Commodore, especially for the warm welcome. It's been some time since I last had the chance to talk to any human being. It's a long journey from Andor to Avalon Station and not even the pirates that attacked me near Romulan space wished to have a conversation with me... I'm still not sure how they were able to neutralize my cloaking device.'

Dathon looked at the Admiral... strange... what was the Admiral doing here? CO... how? Where was T'Hain? Dathon looked around... when he was aboard StarPhoenix last time, they had just begun to build it. A weak ache hit his heart at this moment when it came to his mind that this once used to be his mission... a long time ago.

Again Dathon noticed that his old friend wasn't here to welcome him... why not? The Admiral felt that something had to be wrong...

'Admiral Sullivan, it's an honour to see you... although, with all respect, I didn't expect to meet you out here. Well, I'm really looking forward to seeing Admiral T'Hain... where will I find him? On the OPS?'

Dathon entered the store.

'Hallo, I'm looking for something special for my new office - do you perhaps also sell andorian lucky charms or something like that?'

The computer's voice of the andorian long-range shuttle announced its approach: 'Coming into sensor range of Avalon Station.'

'Computer, open a channel.'  

=A= OPENING CHANNEL =A=

'Rear Admiral Dathon is requesting permission to initiate docking sequence. Please inform Admiral Nocturnus of my arrival. I have to talk to him... urgently.'

Welcome aboard, Commander Katrina.

I'm sure you will be a good CMO for our new base. Now, please excuse me I have work to do.

The Rear Admiral looked around.

Commander Sutter,

I guess my attaché has indeed been delayed.

But as I don't want your mission to be delayed,
we won't wait for him any longer. I'll contact him later...

=A= Dathon to Sutter =A=

I'm just all right, thanks. If you need me, you will find me at my quarters.

=A= Dathon out =A=

I was just about to ask the same question, Major T'Hain... http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/agree2.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':agree2:'>

Dathon was standing in his quarters crying. In his hands he was holding a PADD.

You have permission to proceed now.

Having had a little conversation on orders and the chain of command, Dathon and Langnickel were leaving the captain's ready room.

'... Well, Lieutenant Commander, if you just follow my orders in future,
everything will be fine. You may now proceed - by the way:
Do you know if the Captain is feeling better again?'

T'Hain and Casden walked to the main cargo bay, Dathon followed them.

'Major, would you please remember me later to make sure that Lieutenant Commander Langnickel's inappropriate behavior in this situation will not be without consequences for him...'

They entered the cargo bay. Dathon pointed at some closed containers.

'Well, Mr. Casden... this is all we have aboard. To make it easier for you, here is a list of the ship's cargo.'

He hands Casden a P.A.D.D.

'Well, let the pirate come aboard, Commander. We will be awaiting him...

Let's complete this successfully. '

Dathon and T'Hain entered the turbolift

'Transporter room three.'
