Hravish stepped on to the Avalon’s small personnel transporter’s pad and simply nodded at the crewman manning the controls.
His next will breath was taken on the Viking, where with a start he saw the shabby conditions, well not exactly shabby but the dim unsteady light above the transporter Chief made it look so.

NE Barlow verified the Andorian’s identity as Lieutenant Hravish Ch’thaha, Star Fleet Security, from the transport logs, and greeted him “ Hello Sir welcome to the Viking.”

The Tall Andorian simply lifted one eyebrow and stepped down from the pad and approached the control station. “ Thank you Ensin” he finally answered in accented standard. “Please inform the officer of the watch I have come aboard and I will begin checking in.”

Stepping around the podium he accessed the ships command and imputed his personal identity a codes. Buy the time he had found sick bay security and Opps should have him rostered and a billet assigned.

With a nod he turned and walked out of the room.

Hravish

Standing just outside the doorway was a giant of a man, nearly fifteen centimeters taller than the new Security Chief and far wider and larger than any man should be. He wore a yellow Starfleet uniform with the ranking pips of a Lieutenant Commander, his hair was short chestnut brown hair and slight stubble on his chin. When the doors opened he nodded deeply “Lieutenant Hravish Ch’Thaha” He said factually, his voice a soft baritone “I’m Lieutenant Commander Peter Sigmundsson, The Viking’s Intelligence Officer, I had planned to greet you when you arrived but was unfortunately delayed.” He said apologetically and extended his right hand “Welcome onboard”

CIO

Hravish stoped in the door way and other than a moments tensing around his eyes, he betrayed no surprise and Sigmundsson’s appearance on the other side of the door.
“Hello Commandeer, taking the man’s hand in the human greeting. His grip was confident and firm, just as he had been taught. This was not a contest of strength but it had to portray your confidence and trustworthiness. The faint dueling scars on his hands and cheeks visible as he smiled. His antenna were forward and attentive as they should be greeting a superior officer.

Hravish

Peter returned the firmness of the handshake before releasing his hand “I don’t know how well-briefed you were on the Viking and her Status” The man spoke with a slightly unusual Human accent. He turned to the side, offering the man to walk with him “We have a limited crew, ship functions are hectic at best. The security department has the entirety of Deck eight at their disposal, no other crew quarters there outside of my small team of Officers. My team is at your disposal should you ever require their assistance as am I” He explained “If I may ask, why have you been stationed here?” His tone more curious than inquisitive “The Viking is not the most illustrious assignment in the Fleet, you’ll find this a common inquiry.” He said with the slightest of smiles.

CIO

“That confirms my briefing, tho other things were hinted at.” Hravish matched strides with the human Officer. “ It is my understanding I was requested. By whom I have not been able to confirm.” Unlike his human companion he did not walk in a heal toe fashion but rather on the balls of his feet with the heals of his shoes gliding across the floor in a quiet scuffing.

‘’ Once I am settled in I would appreciate an introduction to your cadre, if I do call apron them I should at least know their faces if not their skill sets.”

Hravish

Peter opened his mouth to respond but the sudden appearance of the winged security Officer stopped him.

Ensign Luna rounded a corner nearly ruining into the two men. ” oh i’m sorry, commander, and Lieutenant?” She said turning her head sideways giving the Lieutenant a strange look. ” I should have been paying attention to where i was going, Cerenity has run off again” she finished. Cerenity running around the ship on her own was not an usual acerence however at the moment her mother had deamed that behave as dangers. The young security officer that stood in front of the new Chief was human though she had wings like a birds white wight with black spots. She bright blue eyes and blond hair witch was curiously a mess. ” Iv never seen you onbord the Viking Lieutenant who exactly are you” She asked now addressing the COS directly for the first time.
Ensign Luna

Hravish looks the disheveled woman up and down, “ Hravish Ch’Thaha, and unless the Captain objects I am your new Security Division Officer.” His expression softens to a smile, “Now what exactly Is a ‘Cerenity’ and how may we help you in finding it?” He couldn’t remember seeing a winged humanoid before, at least not in person but there was a first time for everything.

Hravish

Luna’s expression hardened Though she knows there was no way for the man in front of her to know who Cerenity was. As the child’s mother it was had to hear her baby be called an it. “ Cerenity is my daughter, please exscuse the mess I’m in I just got off a long shift and have spent the last Four hours trying to find her. It nice of you to offer but I’m sure you have more inportant things to tend to. A missing three year old is hardly a problem for you especially when it’s pretty normal for her to wonder off there’s no one onboard who can keep up with her” Luna said. She was not willing to admit that Cerenity had outsmarted her again. Give that the child was way ahead of other children it was not a suprize yo most who knows the little family.
Ensign Luna

“ My check ins are not more important than your child Ensin, besides her safety falls in my preview. Now as your the local Cerenity expert what can we do to help?” Not only did issues his own people had had with reproduction made the ensigns child all the more important to him, he was a father and Grandfather himself.
“Now what are your orders?”

Hravrish

Luna could not help but giggle. “ Cerenity expert “she echoed still smiling. “ to be honest sir she is smarter then I am and completely unpredictable I’ll already check with the individuals on the ship that she likes to hang out with. Along with the medical bay and labs, I have not tried the mane security office though Iv never once found her there and if she were on the bridge or in engineering I’m sure someone would have called me, I take it nether of have Sean her” Luna said.
Ensign Luna

“Have you tried the internal sensors? Assuming they work.” Hravish smiled it has been a long time sense he played hide and to seek with a wayward child.

“ no lat I know they did not work” Luna said smiling for a moment. Though it was definitely the smile of a tired mother.
Ensign Luna

“Tell me about Cerenity, it would help to know exactly who I am looking for.”the transformation was remarkable, from stately and aloof Starfleet Officer and Andorian elite to concerned grand parent.

“ why do you care” she had picked up on the change in the Andorrans behavior. It consurned her. She was unwilling to just share information about Cerenity especially when section 31 could be learning behind the corner. The reappearance of Rirea has made her even more jumpy as of laght.

Ensign Luna

“What do you think, Commander are you game? We could turn it into a rather amusing stowaway drill if we have too.”

Hravish

Peter inclined his head but allowed the two to speak, Luna would have to learn to work with this man and now was a good time for him to earn her trust, not something that came easy. He himself was not certain that she trusted him at all.

“Because I am a parent and a grand parent myself, and my children are very important to me as are their children.” The pale blue eyes earnest but also betraying amusement. “At this point, it doesn’t really mater to me who’s child or grand child they are.” He smiled, and looked her over once more. “You look like you have been searching for hours, so we can stand here with you suspicious of my motives or you can trust that Star Fleet didn’t assign a monster to your ship and we can find your child.”

Hravrish

“ star fleet created The abomination that is section 31 So it would not suprize me if they assigned a monster to this ship” Luna said the was a bit of dark humor to her tone. None the less she believed him for now. “ she is a sweet little girl would not hurt a fly. She is also really cerous and quiet smart. If you get the chance to meet her you will understand what I’m talking about?” She said and started down one of the hallways near by. “ keep your eyes open she has nearly silent flight” Luna said.
Ensign Luna

“I look forward to it.” Hravish said to he retreating back.” Turning back to the intelligence chief “I need to get medical clearance so I can start looking for that child.”

Hravish

Peter grimaced at the mention of the organization, it was not very wise to mention them especially in front of new arrivals without knowing how much they knew “I think we can delay your check-in for this, otherwise you can go to Sickbay and I’ll assist Ensign Luna” He paused for a moment “This is Ensign Luna, she’s a member of the Security team.” he introduced her for prosperities sake.

CIO

“Right now I suspect behind her bravado is a frightened mother. So I thank you for giving me a reprieve from my check ins.” Hravish’s pale eyes were now quite serious. “Where would you suggest we begins looking?”

“A general search pattern starting from places of familiarity and stretching outwards, this will include the Hereot and the Thunderdome, most doors are secured because of the nature of the ship but it might be simple for her to travel through the Jeffries tubes.” The Icelander stated

Closing his eyes, the Andorian’s antenna came alive as he reached out sending his senses threw the artificial cavern of alloy and polymer that was Viking. Opening his eyes, with all his senses alive for the hunt. “Shall we begin?”

Hravish

Peter nodded and moved with the new Security Chief down the hall.

CIO

Hravish could feel the life blood pulsing threw the veins of the ship as well as the bio electric signatures of her inhabitants. As his excitement grew his senses and mind sharpened. He wished he knew more of the child they sought as it would make it much easier.

The Andorian had studied the ship’s deck plans, or at least those of her class, he was suspecting things were different in reality. “Where then is the child deposed to be? Her mother’s quarters or is there a child care facility perhaps?”

Hravish

The small child was in fact hiding in the Jeffreys tubes. She was settled an a dark corner near sickbay of all places. “Make it stop” she cryed. The shadows had been tormenting her for so long. The three year old had Finly hit her barking point. But non of the adults believe her so she decided to hide so that her mother would not know. She know her mother worryed about her and she did not want her to worry anymore.
Cerenity

“Make what stop, Miss Cerenity” a strangely accented voice asked from the shadows further down the tube. Out of the shadows a a pale blue tinted antenna toped face appeared. The older Chan was disheveled, his hair had came partially out of its braid and hung dank in front of his face. But his pale blue eyes shown as he smiled at the child. =^= Ensin Luna, could you meet me at frame thirty two, deck six access four =^=.

Cerenity was startled she looked about almost panicked. She relaxed when she realized it was a person and not the shadows. “ everything… these shadows fallow me everywhere the yeal about how they will take everyone on the ship. They alredy took Daddy. And Mommy is worryed about something. Is it my fault mommy is worryed all the time. She is no fun anymore ever sence Raira came back” Cerenity said. Just the Luna responded =/\= Luna here of all the places…ouch” a bang could be heard over linas com “ why are jeffrys tubes do small… I’m sorry about that sir completely off task I’m on my way I’m down near are quarters so it might be a bit” Luna said=/\=

“ mommy is in the Jeff’s tubes she can’t the shadow will get her” Cerenity cryed. She became more upset.

Turning back to beset child, “I am Hravish, your mother’s new boss and she is looking for you.” Crawling into the junction, he sat up and sat cross legged. “I am pleased to meet you”

Hravish

Cerenity looked at him for a moment. “ H-Ha-Harvish” she struggled with the name. “ you should not be here it’s dangerous for you” she said.
Ensign Luna

“ You can me Cha’” smiling as the child actually did a passable job of pronouncing his name. “That’s what my grand children call me”. taking the moment to try and get his hair under control.
“We are in the Jeffries tubes because you are very important to us, what do you say we get out of them?” Hravish

“Che” she said only nodding her agreement.

=^= We will meet you in the hall buy medical, Cerenity would like us adults to get out of the ‘Jeff’s tubes’ and Ensin take your time, she is safe.=^=

=/\= I’m on my way thank you sir=^= came Luna’s response.

“I need to make one more call, then we can get out of here.” =^= Commander Sigmundsson, we have found her , we will be coming out buy sick bay=^=

“Would you like to lead or shall I?” The child’s concern for her elders was not lost on him, nor was her own destress. Who or what these shadows where would normally be brushed aside as the imaginings of a child but this ship’s reputation and the gloom that permitted it made him consider the possibility that it was otherwise.

Hravish

Cerenity nodded and led him out of the Jeffreys tubes. “ you should not be in the Jeffreys tubs it’s easyer for the shadows have the advan-advantage there” she said. She looked down the hall. “ do you think mommy will be mad she has never set people to look for me. She usually waghts until I get home. Why is she acting so weird all the sudden. Iv always been allowed to go where ever I want on the ship” Cerenity said. She had never actually been allowed to go anywhere she wanted her mother have just never been able to stop her. Lunas solution was to waght for her child to come him as she always did.
Ensign Luna

“ That might be my fault child, I ran into your mother wile she was searching for you and she seemed upset so I offered to help her. it isn’t easy to be a parent.” Hravish secured the access hatch and sat down on the floor again cross legged. Patting the floor. “Care to join me?” Tho he was tired and his face and uniform sported streaks of dust and lubricant his smile was genuine. “ I would like to ask you for two favors, first in the future I need to be able to find you so let me, your mother or another officer where you are going. Second I would like you to tell me about the shadows. Can you do that for me?”

Hravish

“I can try. The shadow are there evil“ she said. Reluctantly sitting next to Hravish. “ the have been following me around the ship for as long as I remember they keep saying they will take eveyone and I’ll be left alone. They want to hurt everyone and no one seams to be able to see them. I just want them to leave me alone and give daddy back” she said bursting into tears.
Cerenity

Reaching out and putting his had on he shoulder, carful of her wings and drawing her in. “My job is to protect you and every one else, but I need your help to do that. I wish I could bring your dad back. I need to know every thing you can tell me about the shadows and I need you to come to me when your scared. Can you do that for me?”

Hravish

“ before daddy dissapered he and mommy got into a fight. He stormed off and the shadows captured him again it was after they got him the first time and he got free” serenity said she settled close to Havish. She thought quietly. “ why would I go to you and not mommy when I’m scared mom is unbeatable you don’t have her advantages” it was clean the child saw her mother as invisible.
Cerenity

Hravish looked down at the child and laughed, “ Your mom is pretty tough isn’t she. What I really want is you not to go hide in the Jeffries tubes when the shadows are bothering you, if you don’t go to your Mom please come to me or any of the people your Mom works with. I want you and your mom to be as safe and happy as possible.” Intelligence gathering from a child might be considered buy some to be insane, but they tended to see and hear things the adults never did, people discounted them and thus let things slip. The also tended to lack guile at this age, so even their flights of fancy held nuggets of truth.

Haverish

“Mommy dose not believe they are real non of you grownups believe me” cerenity said. she shook her head.

soon Luna walked up her heir had competently fallen from its bun and was a mess of tangles. her wigs were covered with various substances likely from the Jeffrey tube. She almost cred when she saw Cerenity. “Cerenity don’t ever do that again” Luna said she was not angry but she know he was upset. “I-I’m sorry mommy” she child said running to her mother. Luna picked the girl up and held her close.” You scared me”She said. then looked at Haverish and smiled. “Thank you Sir” She said with a smile.

Ensign Luna.

“Don’t we make a pair.” Hravish said noting they were both dusty and greasy from the extended search. ‘ It was my honor to help you, Ensin.” Standing up a bit stiffly.” As we are practically in sickbay, and I need my boarding physical let’s have the medics give Miss Cerenity once over. Just for both of our peace of mind.” The Chan seemed to be genuinely happy to have spent the last few hours searching the ship for the child.

As the exit net of the hunt subsided so did the sharpness of his senses and mind. No longer did the bio electrical field of his companions shine so brightly, or the electrical conduits running threw the ship. His perception of the changes in air pressure also faded some what so as to dim his sense of movement. Hunting the bowels of a ship were so much like hunting the cave complexes at home. ‘’ After you Ladies.”

Hravish

“That is a wonderful idea. ” Luna said. Heading into sick bay. She mad a note to her self to make sure she spoke to the new chief of security during her next shift. as she walked into the medical bay.
