Erve leant his hand and happily smiled to the woman “Yes, I am. Nice to meet you Lieutenant. May I perhaps ask you why you’re wearing a normal Starfleet Uniform?” He looked over her shape and the non-RTF uniform which made him snorted “I can get you one, if you want.” He nodded laying the bag on the floor and crouching to touch the KAI9.

“You’ll need to get me one. The sooner the better so I can make special adjustments. I’m the ships counselor as my ‘day job’,” Casela rolled her eyes a little at that. “I’m attached to your unit for any missions and as the AARM handler.” She glanced over him again. “Is that the new MK-7 baton?” she asked with a gleam in her eye.

“Ahaha, right. Just send me your body features and measurements and I’ll get you one…” he said with a mysterious voice “Want to try? Here.” He handed the baton “just be aware, those aren’t forgiving!”

Casela tapped something on her PaDD, “Already waiting for you.” Casela took the baton and weighed it expertly in her hand. She glanced around and backed up a few feet. “From what I’ve heard they’re deadly in the right hands.” She spun it a few times in her right and then left hand getting a feel for it. Suddenly she swung it was expert force and control, pulling it back from an invisible foe, flipping it in her hand and stabbing with the less lethal end. She moved through several more “exercises” before stopping and looking at it again and examining the charge unit. “I have got to get one of these.”

“I see you haven’t finished to configure the AARM. Need some help with that?” He then questioned as he noticed that something was odd.

Casela nodded, “We’ll have to. I had to choose a secondary handler, and you’re it. Fenrir will assist any member of the team, but there has to be a main handler in charge. We’ve been putting him through some of his more passive paces right now. There is training room on the ship where we can do more. Feel free to test or set up any part you want.”

Taking out a isolinear chip from his bag, he handed it to Casela and looked her straight in her eyes “Here. It has all the basic programs but lacks of anything special and funny. Except the phaser solder and focused ray add-on. Ehehehe I keep them in the basic main drive so I can always have fun after a long day of work.” He winked “But other than that the RTF command told me to give you the others program once they deliver it in my quarters. They include combat, logistic, logical and other linkage software so the KAI9 can work fine and beyond. For the training we can do all the paperwork later when I actually get on my bunk. The journey was lengthy and damn I just want some rest.” He glanced over the two women in front of him, noticing that one was particularly familiar…

Casela nodded, “Whenever you are ready we can meet you on deck 14 in Fenrir’s maintenance bay.”

“Hello, Erve. Good to see you again,” GLaDOS said with a small nod to the RCO. “Congratulations on your appointment to head of Levi’s RTF team. You have earned it.”

GLaDOS, CSO

“GLaDOS!” He stood up immediately like a Cadet meeting the first time the instructor “Jeez, long time no see.” He approached her, even thought she was probably taller, and gave a warm and long hug. It was weird thought but the emotions came through like a bullet and made him feel the bittersweet taste of the past “Didn’t knew you were going to join us on the Levi. I mean, every information is pretty much… confidential. Yep.. so what role they gave you?” He raised an eyebrow standing up and keeping a hand on his waist and the other on the handle of the baton.

M. Captain Erve Manhattan - RCO

OOC: fixed the thread

Lt. Synthi-er, CNS/KAI9 Handler

The woman froze as she was enthusiastically hugged by Erve, stiffening and not moving or even breathing until he had stepped away. “What have I told you about hugs…?” she muttered, looking supremely uncomfortable. She didn’t like physical contact. Whether it was a side effect of her being former Borg, or something to do with her species, but she really didn’t like hugs.

“Right right…” he chuckled leaving her waist and setting himself apart “Sorry GLaDOS, forgot how you hated hugs.” Scratching his head a bit embarrassed, he looked over Casela that still had the baton in hand. I swear that if it is going to hurt someone…

“I have been appointed as the CSO of the Leviathan,” she explained, knowing that Erve would understand what that meant within the context of the ARU even though she hadn’t told him that she was a part of the Council.

Lt. Cmdr. GLaDOS, CSO

OOC: fixed again. lol

“Ahhh…” he suddenly nodded “I understand.” Indeed he did. He never imagined that such person would have had one day that high privilege and position. He was just astonished and amazed. “Well… what we are really doing… here?” He asked returning to the When we are boarding question.

M. Capt. Erve Manhattan - RCO

Casela nodded back the way he had come from, “Fenrir and I are headed back to the ship now. We leave in the next 12 hours is the last I heard.” Casela grabbed what she had purchased motioned to Fenrir and headed back to the ship.
Lt. Synthi-er, CNS/KAI-9 Handler

Having been mostly a spectator during the conversation Fenrir was pleased to hear they were going to be on the move again and stood up from where he had decided to sit down and began to follow.

Fenrir, KAI9

GLaDOS nodded slightly, grabbing a small case she had placed on the floor in order to speak with Fenrir. “I was grabbing the final few supplies I needed from my Lab,” she said. “So I suppose we are all walking together. And we won’t be leaving so early as that, Lt. Synthi-er. Barring emergency, we will be in refit for at least three more days.”

GLaDOS, CSO

Casela nodded, “As you say, but I know from experience, these things often move faster than anticipated. I’d rather be ready.”

Icarus Remington had been making his way through the starbase toward the Leviathan, his new posting, when he saw a small group of people with an Artificial Artifact Recovery Mech (AARM). His excitement at seeing the AARM was visible as he approached them.

“Excuse me, but is that the latest generation of the AARM unit, the KAI9?”

Casela noted his Intellegence uniform and sighed, Great, just great. More of us “Yes he is. We’ve been out putting him through his paces.”

He knelt down to get a closer look at the unit. His eyes widened as he saw he was correct. “It is, isn’t it? This is so awesome!! I’ve studied up on them but haven’t had the chance to see one in person yet.” He knew better than to touch the KAI9 without permission, didn’t want to appear as a threat and activate the weapons.

“You are a thing of beauty, aren’t you? What’s your name? Your handler has to have given you a name before taking you out, right? I’m Icarus. . . uh, Lt. Remington.”

Remington (CIO)

“Yes, I did give him a name. But I’ll let him tell you, if he feels so inclined.” Casela sucked it up and offered her hand. When she got back to her office she had some crew files to go over. “Lt. Synthi-er, CNS and KAI9 Handler for the RTF unit.”
Lt. Synthi-er

Icarus stood and shook the offered hand. “Pleased to meet you, Lt. Like I said, I’m Lt. Remington, the Leviathan’s Chief of Intel. We should be working together. I’m supposed to be part of the RTF team as well.”

Casela nodded in acknowledgement. Great another intel agent on RTF. What the crap was going on here? She was taking a space suit and jumping out an airlock before Intel officially took over the Leviathan. She made a note to herself to go check in with a few of her own intel contacts and informants before they left space dock. “I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of each other then.” She nodded towards Cpt Manhattan. “Lt. Remington, meet M Cpt Manhattan head of RTF.”

He looked back down at the KAI9 and offered his hand again. “And what name do you go by?”

Remington (CIO)

OOC: His player will be back tomorrow or the day after.

Lt. Synthi-er, CNS/KAI9 Handler
