It was rather unusual for the captain to send him such messages like this they always tend to be sincere and upfront about there conversations.

She normally came to see him or he went to see her. There was never any formality of obsecue or criptic messages. it was always in person.

Trax finally finished off the remainder of this paperwork and filed it properly. He was glad that he had a few more staff members join the crew. I believe they would be a fine addition to the crew and the medical staff in general.

Trax hung up his smock as he left his office then head up to see the captain. “Good evening nurse Hulahan. Sickbay is all yours tonight. ” Trax told her politely. ” Have a good night.” Trax said as he exited through the doors heading to the lift. As he tapped the call button as he greeted other officer’s as they passed him for the evening.

They returned his greetings kindly to him.as the car arrived as the doors opened for him to enter He took no time at all getting in the car as he turned.”Bridge!” Trax ordered. As the doors closed he started to feel anger from a distance as he closed on the bridge level it was more prominent now.

He never liked angry or negative emotions. But it was part of life on all world or beings of the federation. Except for Vulcans the controlled the feeling well. As he moved towards command he noticed the captain was not there so he moved towards her ready room. He almost didn’t want to disturb her.

But he knew if he didn’t report to her now that she would be more upset with him too as he gingerly tapped the chime to acknowledge his presence there and was now waiting.

A crisp =/\= Enter! =/\= came from within, the tone didnt sound pleased nor happy. In fact it radiated frustration, anger, and outrage just barely held in check.

When Trax would enter the ready room the first thing he would notice was a held up ‘wait’ gesture from the Romlan Fleet Captain. As she had her attention to the comm screen on her desk. =/\= …out of my hands, Captain Andone. Orders from higher up says what you got to do. =/\= Came a male voice on the other end in mid-sentence as he entered.

Nearby as if sensing the tension in the room and anger from its owner the basketball sized Romulan piranha like fish swam about back and forth in its large tank on the prowl.

=/\= Commodore, this is an outrage and you know it! Demoting an officer, hell anyone of any rank due to what is clearly a blackmailed political move is....=/\= Drudoc began but got cut off.

=/\= Andone look....=/\= There was a heavy sigh on the other end of the line. =/\= I know your feelings on this, but orders are orders. Politics across the Federation are high right now. Back room deals are making and breaking people’s lives! This is the only option that’ll preserve Mr Suder’s dignity and career once we can work through this. I expect you to carry out your orders, despising as they may be to you. Commodore Bradley out…=/\= then the line went dead.

Drudoc clenched a hand in anger, which radiated off her in waves, then she closed her eyes took several deep long breathes before letting them out slowly while muttering some kind of mantra in Romulan which Trax’s commbadge UT didn’t pick up. Sighing then she rose to face Trax, “..I’m sorry about that Lieutenant. I hoped to have that call finished before you arrived. Thank you for your prompt arrival. Would you care for a drink?” She offered indicating for him to take a seat. Her voice now was calmer, more like its usual self. But held a hint of pained restraint likely over some future topic coming up soon.

Trax wasn’t sure what had just happened but he knew it was not good. A strong drink might be in order. “Sure captain a good strong drink might be a good destresser. ” Trax replied kindly.

Knowing some things were not a good sign. And it had something to do with him. As he took a seat as he calmly waited on the captain to get his drink. And waited for the hard news that she didn’t want to tell him.
