The look on his face made the crowded halls part like prarie grass for a buffalo. Major General Charles Tenkiller, dressed in the working uniform of the CCDA, moved through the Headquarters section of the Orbital platform in a straight line for the office if his boss and friend General Calvin Harris.

As he approached the reception desk, Staff Sergeant Kildren stood up and came to attention. “Major General Tenkiller, the General is on a call but I ca-” and was cut off as Tenkiller walked past and through the door to Harris’s office. Kildren sighed in relief. He liked the Major General- hell, everyone in the CCDA liked him and Harris both. They were probably the CCDA’s biggest recruiting tool whether they knew it or not. That being said, everyone knew that both had a side you did not want to be on… and Tenkiller’s face showed that side was in full effect.

Tenkiller walked into Cal’s office and flopped down in a chair by his conference table while Cal spoke to someone at his desk. His entry was quiet, but that was the only concession to decorum he made.

Maj. Gen. Tenkiller, VC- CCDA

Though both she and Sam, a four-star Admiral in her own, ‘outranked’ Tenkiller… the man’s positional authority put him in the proverbial spot just two below God. General Devri Hudson, the fiery redhead in command of the CDF glanced over her shoulder at Tenkiller and immediately knew she and Sam needed to be elsewhere. Standing smartly, she & Sam excused themselves and headed out… both women giving Tenkiller warm smiles.

The second the door closed behind them, Harris walked over to the table… still purposefully using his cane… before he grabbed a seat. “There a reason you look like you are ready to kill someone Skip”

Harris, CCDA

“Yeah… ‘cause I am.” and he took a breath. “So you know we cleared the Vren’s approach quadrant of all traffic, right? Traffic control has been diverting all approaching vessels to the Gamma and Episilon grids, and we have the Kvaar’ton offering to escort the Vren to Oed. Great. Wonderful. Peachy-keen. And then we get this bulls#!t.” and he tossed a PaDD on the table and slid to Cal.

“Federation delegates rerouted to be here for the welcoming party. Refusing to abide by the directions we sent because it would delay them eighteen hours and they want, and I am f^<king quoting here… ‘time to get properly changed before the gala.’ Its a gods-damned Ixthyon class luxury barge. It has bigger bathrooms and more closets than my house. And they aren’t budging. Wanna cut straight across the restricted area.”

Tenkiller, VC-CCDA

Harris couldn’t help but smirk as he read over the PaDD. Raising an eyebrow, he chuckled slightly before lifting the large, armored-looking PaDD Tenkiller would know as the ‘Command PaDD’ and began to tap.

After about thirty seconds, his piercing blue eyes met his with a challenge behind them. “Well, they won’t be happy once the good ol boys & girls… and various other folks… of the ACS get through with them. I’ve sent you the request for your counter signature on an order to mobilize the third patrol squadron and send them out to… greet and escort, with tractors if necessary… the ship to the correct heading.”

“Torpedoes would’a been my suggestion.” Skip said with a grin. “But tractors work in a pinch.”

Handing back Tenkiller’s own PaDD, Harris smiled. “I haven’t time to waste with them Skip… and neither do you. Do you concur?” The message was flashing on the PaDD for Tenkiller’s approval.

Harris, CCDA

Tenkiller slapped his approval on it faster that it took for him to pick up the PaDD. “Hell yeah I concur. But you know good and well we are gonna get our asses chewed when that Rep arrives. Which I am perfectly fine with. I’m just gonna bring up the statement that the Governors put out and ask ‘em why they didn’t contact us to ask if they could come.” and he grinned the grin that Cal knew was Skip itching for them to pick a fight with him when he knew he was going to win.

Tenkiller, VC-CCDA

“Make it happen Vice…” Harris nodded. “… I’m certain both I and Admiral Halloway would be more than happy to explain this ad nauseam if necessary, why barging into Allied Space is poor form.”

With that, Calvin forwarded the copy of the signed order to ACS Command Central and smirked. “Welp… let’s see how they like that!”
