: : : : Striker looked at the uniform laying over the back of one of the chairs on the oposite side of his desk. It had been a while since he'd worn one. He pulled a small black box from his pocket and opened it, the box contained his medals and four gold coloured rank pips.
: : : :
: : : : A chime sounded from his console and he hit the recieve button. A womans face appeared wearing an all-black uniform.
: : : :
: : : : Striker closed the lid of the box and concentrated his attention to the woman.
: : : :
: : : : "Admiral, everything is going to plan. Captain Dyne will be sent back to Earth and I have the crew of the Saracen investigating the situation here."
: : : :
: : : : The Woman nodded and clicked a button on her padd.
: : : :
: : : : "Well done Striker and as agreed you are now in full commandf of USS Saracen, continue your mission. You will not hear from us again until we need you.... and Captain Striker.... thank you for all you have done to help protect the Federation, you are declared fully alive, active and reinstated."
: : : :
: : : : The screen went balnk.
: : : :
: : : :
: : : : Striker sat back in his chair, so many things to explain to so many people.... but for now the mission was the most important thing and now Striker was fully avtive as a Starfleet Captain, he picked up the box and the uniform and entered the rest room.
: : : :
: : : : After 20 minutes Striker emerged, clean, shaved and pristine in the red of command with his set of pips attached and a new communicator on his chest.

: : : OOC: Would the transfer of Command been sent to the Saracen? We can cross-post this to the bridge thread (which is a little crazy at the moment, lol) once I know how SARAH will respond.

: : Karin walked into the room "So you're just going to assume that everything is fine?" She asked looking at her uncle "We've thought you dead for all this time. How are you going to maintain your cover now?" She asked "You're in a Star Fleet Uniform. Not very black opsy if you ask me." She said.

: Striker looked at his niece, he understood that it must have been a shock for her to see him alive and well.
:
: "Karin, my mission was classified and I did what I was ordered to do."
:
: Striker packed his remaining things into his hold all.
:
: "It is good to see you again and yet another Lawerance in Starfleet. There is little more I can achieve undercover now and my first priority is taking command of the Saracen and allowing her officers to conclude the work I started here...... if there is a threat that the Klingons may be planning any kind of military action Starfleet will need me at the helm of a battleship once again."
:
: Striker smiled at his niece remembering the parties on Earth when all of his family would be eagerly awaiting to see if he would attend or if he would be on assignment somewhere.
:
: "Now are you going to beam to the Saracen with me or are you going to remain here with the away team?"

Karin shook her head "I'm needed here." She said "Security, you know." She stepped back "We'll talk later after this is all settled." She said glad that her uncle was alive and well, but rather miffed that he hadn't let them know this and that they had thought him dead for all this time.
