However, It was now very ironic, that she was serving on a ship with one of the greatest new FTL forms, and it had been invented by an Insectoid race known as the Flea’tan. The feline chief had of course met the Flea’tan observer assigned to the ship, one Lieutenant Sher’idan and she had done her best to fight back her fear and be civil though even the most airheaded simpleton would pick up on the fact that Miz’uki was feeling uncomfortable. still She knew what had to be done with a deep breath that in no way helped calm her fears, she tapped the comm panel on her desk =^=”Lieutenant Sher’idan Report to the Chief Engineers office”=^= she then braced herself for her deepest fear to come to her

A few minutes later there was a chime buzz at her office door. Through the side glass windows she could see the 6‘0 or so tall slender insectoid Flea’tan exchange officer Lt Sher’idan awaiting entry.

”..A glass of water will suffice ma’am.” Sher’idan said.

Miz’uki took another deep breath again, not that it helped, and answered. “Come!” Watching the door open for the Lieutenant, after they walked in Miz’uki motioned to a chair in front of her desk. “Have a seat Lieutenant…would you like a drink?” the Feline chief engineer said, forcing herself to be polite despite her discomfort at the moment.

After the Lieutenant answered, Miz’uki got up and went to the replicator in her office. “One Synth Caitian Peach Brandy,” she ordered adding in whatever her guest wanted as well. if she requested anything. After getting the drink(s) and taking a sip of her own Miz’uki started. “I am sure you understand the situation the ship is currently in?” she asked sitting back down at her desk. “I was just wondering if you might be able to give me some insight into the relays, if there was a jump relay out here, would we be able to link it to Andromeda? and if that’s possible, what would we be looking at in terms of materials, time, manpower, and what not to build just such a relay?” she asked getting right down to what she wanted to talk to Sher’idan about.

Miz’uki

”..Assuming there was an active relay in this galaxy, we could program it to tie into any known relay in our data banks. As for building one it would be a massive undertaking something that on our own would not really be possible. In truth all known relays by the Alliance were built by an extragalactic force the Alliance calls The Elder..” She replied.
