Aensai: (is trying to decide if ill or here for a physical)

Teelis tStelam: sit on the bio bed please
Ishta trVahuus: :::Large table awaiting them filled with baked goods... hlai... water.. Ale..

Ilia tReki: him::

Teelis tStelam: ::runs the scanner over him:::
Ilia tReki: ((::admires this cross-section of sitting styles::))

Aensai: ::Groans::
Teelis tStelam: I"m going to have to run some tests, just lay down and rest
strmscalm: A few times before that, my Daise'Erei'Riov was nearly assassinated by the Tal Shiar.
strmscalm: ::helps herself to fruit::
Ookami Kuro: % Debriefing officer> ::The ISDs are mostly just reports from various crewmembers of various ships, nothing especially noteworthy, aside from a few that mention running silently and approaching 'the border' under orders. He

Aensai: ::Mumbles a feeble thanks before doubling over and whimpering::

strmscalm: ::looks pointedly at him:: Will I see a third?
Ookami Kuro: glances up, removing narrow spectacles from his somewhat aged face, and rubbing his eyes:: You know why you are here, then?
Ishta trVahuus: I know ... and so does the Praetor I would guess.... you are infamous ... 
Ishta trVahuus: a rebellious bunch seems to be your reputation, but ...As you have 
Ishta trVahuus: learned Enarrain I am not one to mince words ... nor am I one to cower 
Ishta trVahuus: from intent or much different from you in many ways. ::::takes a bite and 
Ishta trVahuus: chews before continuing:::
Ishta trVahuus: The Praetor may have just cause to worry. My house has grown four 
Ishta trVahuus: times since my father's departure many years ago. I have devoted my life 
Ishta trVahuus: to this. My meeting with you was also intentional on Osmus. I wanted to 
Ishta trVahuus: align my house with a power in the military.. one that was apt not to follow 
Ishta trVahuus: the traditional line of obedience.
Teelis tStelam: ::: tucks him in and get the proper tools to draw blood:::
strmscalm: Ah, but Vahuus...

Ishta trVahuus: Aren't we all.
strmscalm: What _goodness_ do you have to offer?
Teelis tStelam: ::::draws the blood and sends it to the lab with a nurse:::::
strmscalm: What is there in your heart besides your need for lost power?
Ilia tReki: reports and set the Galae at ease about the Hnoiyika's admittedly dubious record of loyalty.
Ilia tReki: % ::smiles slightly to remove any edge from her words::
Ookami Kuro: % Debriefing officer> ::a slight smile as well:: Well, I am glad, then, that you do not have to hear that last part from me.
Teelis tStelam: :::gives him a hypo for pain and to lower the fever::::
Teelis tStelam: you should feel better in a bit
Aensai: ::Eyes tightly closed, the first time he has gotten ill while awy from home he thinks of home and his mother who was a doctor. He looks up feebly gratefull for the shots::
Aensai: Hann'yyo.
Teelis tStelam: but I want you to try to sleep while I go run the tests
Ilia tReki: % ::shakes her head and chuckles, mostly to herself:: Na, na.. it's something that has long been on
Aensai: Ie . ihhei. I will try.
Ilia tReki: our heads.
Teelis tStelam: ::::programs the biobed to run scans and monitor the patient::::::
Ookami Kuro: % Debriefing officer> You are Erei'Riov Ilia t'Reki, daise'engineer of the Hnoiyika. ::more of a statement than a question::
Ishta trVahuus: :::Stares to her as he bites the leg of a chicken.. licking the juices from his 
Ishta trVahuus: lips as he continues to eat... eyes casting down to the plate and then back 
Ishta trVahuus: up to her:::: I am known by many ... I am beloved by many... I am feared 
Ishta trVahuus: by even more... and my very presence here threatens the very stability 
Ishta trVahuus: of the Empires oh so comfortable achievment. They have grown fat... and 
Ishta trVahuus: lazy and concerned with only the rich and the powerful. They wish to 
Ishta trVahuus: align themselves with the Federation and bide time.. They wish to make 
Ishta trVahuus: friends of many of our sworn enemies... and that is not the way of our 
Ishta trVahuus: people. That is not Vhorani ... the ancient ones. NOT... the way of D'Era
Ilia tReki: % ::cuts off a light jest and nods crisply:: Ie, I am.
Teelis tStelam: :::::pulls a lollipop from her labcoat pocket and hands it to him::: for when you feel better

Aensai: ::he gives a small smile then clutching the candy closes his eyes::
Teelis tStelam: I found this programed in the replicator so enjoy and rest
Teelis tStelam: ::pats his shoulder and smiles::: now sleep
Teelis tStelam: :::turns and heads for the lab:::
Ookami Kuro: % Debriefing officer> And you.. ::turns:: are Saree t'Duno, formerly professor of conceptual physics at Vira Valley University.
Aensai: ::Her reassuring words still in his mind he falls asleep::

Teelis tStelam: :::stops and gives an over to a nurse to watch the patient:::
Ookami Kuro: ((Neither did I.))
Ishta trVahuus: The future... the future should be what our people wished it to be. We are 
LonelyFedora: ((?))
Ishta trVahuus: the chosen ones. We are the ones that should inspire others to bide their

Ishta trVahuus: should all cower before US and beg to ally.... not the other way around. 
Ishta trVahuus: Our future... is knowledge.... advancement... and the furtherment of the

Aensai: (And for the Mercedes Benz Aensai is dreaming about??? *grins*)
Ilia tReki: ((Bow chica bow wow?))
Ilia tReki: ((Er.. bow...))
strmscalm: And what do you intend to do for the people of Os'mus, Vahuus?
Ookami Kuro: % Debriefing officer> Etre Saree, we seem to be missing some of your employment history records over the past several years. I'll have to ask you to speak with our clerical heirarchy about it after this.
LonelyFedora: % WPP.
Ishta trVahuus: We are not slaves of the Empire.... We are not it's footstools and lap 
Ishta trVahuus: mongrels.... We... are the builders... the conquerers... Our ancestors said 
Ishta trVahuus: it best! We.... are.... warrior.... Why deny our very nature? ::::Stands and 
Ishta trVahuus: wipes at the corners of his mouth... wine in hand::: The people of Osmus?

strmscalm: ::looks away from him and at a dull painting, sipping her morning ale:: 
Ookami Kuro: % Debriefing officer> Making it even stranger that we have no records. Well, it is inconsequential. Erei'riov. Where has the Hnoiyika been since it first left the planet Os'mus where you'd been sent to give humanitarian aid?
strmscalm: I suppose the real question is... What would you have me do for you?
strmscalm: ::wishes, not for the first time, that K'Yele was at her side::
strmscalm: ::knows she has no choice in this, as Vahuus will destroy whoever is against him::
Aensai: ::He suddenly sits up with a yell, his face pale and sweaty, his brown hair matted:: Two Faces!!

LonelyFedora: % ::Not being a member of the -crew- she just leans back::

Ilia tReki: left them to return here, appeared non-threatening.
Aensai: ::He seems very confused for several moments. His eyes slowly clear he nods and lies down slowly:: Ie ihhei
Aensai: ::He mutters tired;y::
Ishta trVahuus: You have contacts in the military. You have those that respect your 
Ishta trVahuus: actions even though they do not have the courage to do the acts 
Ishta trVahuus: themselves. And even if you claim you don't... I wish you to speak with 
Ishta trVahuus: them on my behalf and tell them of what you know to be true anyway. 
Ishta trVahuus: :::grins slightly and sips at his wine:::: Part of the power of the Empire is 
Ishta trVahuus: the military.. a large part of that power. You are in a place to handle that 
Ishta trVahuus: for me.... for ... us. ::::Looks over to her and stares::: And what would I do 
Ishta trVahuus: for the people of Os'mus. I would do the same for them as I would for any 
Ishta trVahuus: of our people. Restore them all to the dignity and honor that was gifted to 
Ishta trVahuus: them by their very birth. You may not approve of my methods... or my 
Ishta trVahuus: tactics... or even my gauge of your crew... but rest assure... I am... for... 
Ishta trVahuus: the Empire and it's true destiny.
LonelyFedora: ((wow))
Ilia tReki: % ::unfolds one hand to gesture at Saree:: Etre t'Duno has been to the planet in person, if you have
Ilia tReki: more specific questions.

Ilia tReki: ((That does not make you any less white.))
Ookami Kuro: % Debriefing officer> Several members of your crew. Including your Daise'Erei'Riov, one of your engineers, and two non-enlisted crew with unknown and unverified backgrounds, three of which were recently guilty of conspiring
Ookami Kuro: together, and whom your Enarrain herself called traitors?
strmscalm: ((Two unlisted crew? Nnea and...?))
Teelis tStelam: your fever is a little lower 
Ookami Kuro: ((Tylus.))
Ookami Kuro: ((He's a stowaway.))
Ilia tReki: % ::nods evenly:: Ie. We believed their treachery to be contained by the prospect of abandonment

Teelis tStelam: good now rest and call if you need anything. There is cool water in the pitcher next to you
Ilia tReki: % ::raises her eyebrows slightly:: We would never abandon the Daise'Erei'Riov, rekkhai.

strmscalm: ((err))
strmscalm: ((I forgot I already typed that))
strmscalm: Show me out? ::smiles::
Aensai: ::Looks at her with gratitude and sits up going for the water:: Hann'yyo ihhei
Ookami Kuro: % Debriefing officer> What I and my superiors are concerned about, Erei'Riov, is whether he would abandon you. But. This is peripheral, really.
Teelis tStelam: I will inform her myself later
Teelis tStelam: call if you need me
Aensai: Ie ihhei

Teelis tStelam: :::writes report and sends copy to the Enarrain::::
Ookami Kuro: do our records indicate how you knew the Hnoiyika would be docking at that border firebase when even we did not.
Ishta trVahuus: What is Romulan... ? :::Stares to her and bows his head:: Do not answer... think of that in the travel home and all we have discussed today.
