It was laght when crystal returned to her office. Snowflake went to his bed and went to sleep. Crystal still had work to do however. She sat at her frack and longed into the computer. She quietly keyed in a surch of admiral Lockhart’s history. The best place to start when hunting was to pick a target and learn all that could be Learned from that target.

Accompanying the record were a multitude of letters of merit and recommendation, character testimonials from various dignitaries and governments, and more than several notations of his tireless contributions to both Starfleet and the Federation. Careful study of the file would indicate that the Admiral was a career diplomat and highly regarded in almost all diplomatic circles for his fairness and ability to negotiate complex situations.

Crystal read the records carfuly. She dicided to key a new search for records of his most resent negotiations. “ this is going no where fast” she said to herself. =/\= computer where is the admiral at this moment=/\=
Crystal Marine CO

=/\= Admiral Loquehart is in his quarters. =/\= came the response.

Vortex

Well at lest he is not cousins tribal. Crystal thought for a moment she keyed a pad to send him an invitation to observe one of the Marine Traning exercises later that day. =/\= Crystal to The leader of the abnormals marine leason, I would like to speak with you in my office at your earliest convenience=/\= she said then looked over at snowflake then back to her computer. She decided to look up the admiral’s Marine leasson wail she waghted.

The record of Marine Captain Ri’Thiq, Andorian, was normal for a Marine in his role. Multiple combat tours early in his career had led him to make a ‘name’ for himself with some of the higher-ups. This had led to him being moved into more prestigious roles, up to currently serving as the Starfleet Marine Liaison Officer to the Diplomatic Corps. The position was one of great responsibility, actually. R’thiq was responsible for not only the safety and security of the Admiral and his staff, but of coordinating with the staff of any military leaders that participated in activities with the Diplomatic contingent. Quite a role for Captain. One would expect someone of higher rank to be in the position, at least a Major or Lieutenant Colonel.

One thing in the record was far from normal, however. On the list of awards was one that seemed out of place: the Cochrane Medal of Excellence. One would expect a Scientist or Engineer, perhaps, to have earned that distinction. But a Marine with training in tactics and combat? It seemed out of place.

At that moment, the door chime to Crystal’s office sounded.

Vortex

Crystal was eventually drawn from her reading by the door chime. Snowflake stirred for a moment the went back to sleep. Crystal closed the file she was looking at then walked over to the door and opened it. “ please come in snowflake is asleep please mind your manners and don’t wake him” she said in her usual manner.

As the person stepped into her office they would find themselves in an attic cave. The temperature was chilly to most who did not have fur but not freezing. On one side of the room was her desk and two chares on the ether side of it on the wall behind the desk was a batleth and several pictures they included, family, the Klingon ambassador how had given her the batleth as well as picker of snowflake and the Marine under her camand. On the opposite side of the room was snowflakes bed witch appeared to be a pile of snow. On top of it was the full grown snow leopard picefully asleep. Most how evtered this office know that could change in a mater of seconds.

As an Andorian, Ri’Thiq found the temperature quite comfortable. He walked in and came to attention and said “Captain Ri’Thiq, reporting as ordered, Major.”

Vortex

“ At ease Captain Ri-Ri’Thiq” she said she struggled for a moment with his name. “ please have a set, apparently the admiral has a job for us. He asked that I coordinate with you for the Marine training exercises. Care or tell me what you know ” She said. She was calm.

Snowflake stared from his sleep the cat sat up and looked at the captain be for pining his hears against his head and offering a low ominous worning growl at the captain. “ don’t mind him as long as you don’t try and harm ether of us you will be fine” crystal said simply.
Crystal Marine CO

Ri’Thiq ignored the cat and stood rock steady , eyes facing forward. “Major. There will a contingent of Marines arriving soon after we do who will be particpating with the local military in a Joint Training exercise. Training is to include, but not be limited to, the following: urban combat, search and rescue operations, small unit tactics, counter-terrorism ops, intelligence gathering, monitoring troop deployments, and weapons familiarity.”

Vortex

“ and how will we be monitoring the training? Do we have ground intel on where the exercises will acure. How are we going to garrote the safety of are Marines. I will make it very clear one to you it is unacceptable to have casualties or injuries during any training exercise to ether are Marines or anyone else involved” crystal said. She watched him carfuly. She was impressed he did not react to snowflakes worning. But that also made her more saspishis of the man.
Crystal Marine CO

Ri’Thiq didn’t move, but a look of confusion crossed his face. “Ma’am? I’m not sure I understand the question. My orders are to facilitate the arrival of the Marine contingent and coordinate logistics with the indigenous planetary brass. The Admiral told me that you would be the observer for the exercises, and would be acting as liaison for it’s duration. I should only be planet side for a few hours, a day at the most.”

OOC: I know it’s been a while and we don’t have access to some of the past posts. Sorry if that got lost in the change-over.

Vortex

“ that’s unusual don’t you think Captain, Or do you only follow orders with out question? ” crystal said. Now she was teasing him. She had gotten a reaction now how much did this captain know. Why was the part of the admirals group at only the rank of captain and more importantly what was there true mission.” There is to much missing information for me to believe this is merely a diplomatic mission” crystal said.
Crystal Marine CO

Ri’Thiq kept looking straight ahead and said simply “What information are you missing, Major? And as far as following orders without question, when those orders come from a Fleet Command officer and a person who I know to be deserving of respect, yes. I follow those orders without question.” and he looked directly at the Major. “Because that is what we are supposed to do as Marines, Ma’am.” and then looked back straight ahead, still standing at attention.

Vortex

She know she was not going to get anywhere with him. She know this entire mission was a trap. She just could not find the evidence. She would let the XO and her Marines know to keep an eye on Captain Ri’Thiq. “ very well captain do you have any information on the are of the planet that the training will be taking place? Do we have any idea of what civilian populations may be close?” She asked. She decided not to answer the captains first question. She put ranked him and did not have to answer the question.
Crystal Marine CO

Ri’Thiq looked down at the PaDD in his hand and tapped a few commands. “I have just given you the Training Exercise protocols and diplomatic packet, Major. That gives you everything I have. I would be happy to go over it with you now, or if you want to review first, I can always come back.” he said.

Vortex

“ if your not to tired I would like to go over it now if not it can waght until first thing tomorrow” crystal said. As she opened and quietly started skimming the file.
Crystal Marine CO

The file was unsurprising and standard for it’s contents. A Joint Training Operation would take place planet-side. Exchanges of personnel would take place prior, and the two militaries would take turns in various operations over the course of a three week period. The culmination of the exercise would be a three-day long war game where both sides would fight against each other in simulated combat. There was an addendum that stood out to the boiler plate document. Two teams, one Force Reconnaissance and one Raider, would conduct a separate training exercise with the indigenous military’s Special Forces equivalent. This would be overseen by only two Federation Marine Generals and their two Beth-Resian counterparts and one member of the Federation diplomatic delegation… Captain Ri’Thiq.

Vortex

“ looks like you will be on the planet for more then a day what is this special forces training” crystal asked. As she skimmed the file.
Crystal Marine CO

“My orders are to provide introductions and ensure that each officer in briefed fully on the parameters of the exercise, Ma’am. I should only be involved for eight to twelve hours. The Admiral said he preferred someone from those units to make the first introductions, so he assigned me.”

Vortex

“ and witch generals will be on the surface. And why specifically was I assind” crystal asked. He did not answer her question about the special forces involvement. Her ears lay back agenst her head. Snowflake uttered a growl in response to crystals agitation. The cat walked over and sat next to her. “ breath snowflake” crystal said. Her exspretion softened and she put her hand on the cats head.

“ why are the special forces being involved in the training” she added being more direct in her question. She did not like this situation.
Crystal Marine Co

“I do not know which Generals will be present as of yet, Major. And you were assigned to observe by the Admiral after he arrived on board Dauntless. I do not know why he chose you to fill that roll, you would have to ask him. And it is not unheard of to have elite units training together in situations like this. It shows from our side a certain… openness… and allows us to assess their full military capabilities.”

Vortex

“ it’s not very tactically sound thow. Ether way please inform me as soon as you know witch generals will be involved. I don’t like walking into situations blindly. Your dismissed. Have a nice evening” crystal said. She waght for him to leave before returning to her desk and sending a message to the XO to schedule a meeting.
Crystal Marine CO

“Um, Ma’am? I don’t think you will participating in the SpecOps phase. From what I understand, you are the observer for the multi-unit training and combat simulation. I can contact the Admiral for clarification, if you would like. Or I am sure he would be willing to speak to you directly, if that is preferable?”

Vortex

“ was I not clear? I want to know how the Generals are no I will not be participating but I well still like at some point have to speak to the.” Crystal said. She shook her head. Did this guy not understand tactics or being prepared for the worst.
Crystal Marine CO

Ri’Thiq, still looking straight ahead and said “Understood, Ma’am. But that information is on a need-to-know basis. I suggest you ask Admiral Loquehart for that information, Major. I do not have permission to share it.”
