*** USS Chimera-C ***
Rangi stood at the end of a very short queue waiting to
board the new Chimera. She carried a modest sized suitcase
in one hand and her uniform issue shoulder bag in the other.
She did not look happy.
"Rangi?"
She half turned at the sound of the incredulous use of her
name.
"Scott?" she said, using the same tone.
"What are you doing here?" they said in unison.
" You first." Scott said moving to her side as the queue
shuffled forward.
"I had orders to report here. I'm the new CMO apparantly.
Scott looked amazed at this information.
" You?" Rangi asked.
"Same here." he replied "...I was passed fit for duty
yesterday and was all set to go down to the planet soon and
then got late orders sending me here....what's going on?
Where's Maikai?"
"I have no idea." Rangi answered. "I received my orders
about three hours ago."
"What does Shane say?" Scott enquired.
"Nothing." Rangi replied shortly.
" Nothing?"
"No..."
She released a sigh.
" I havent been able to speak to him...he's in a meeting and
can't be disturbed on any account according to Pakosii. I
dont even know if he knows I'm here." She sounded
exasperated.
Scott frowned as he listened to the explanation.It didnt
make sense. {Why the last minute orders?} he asked himself.
Rangi was called forward and gave her name to the security
guard who checked her details and waved her through.
She went a few steps then turned to wait for Scott who also
had clearance without problem.
"I'd like to know what's going on.." she said quietly then
added "...thankyou." as he stooped to pick up her case.
"Wouldn't we all?" Scott muttered."What quarters do you
have?"
They began walking towards the nearest turbolift and Rangi
looked at the details on the slimline padd the security
guard had given her and read then aloud.
" Near mine then." Scott said and, giving a short laugh that
held no humour in it, remarked: "LIke old times isnt it."
Rangi had wanted to see the new ship but not under these
circumstances so she took little pleasure in making her way
to the quarters that would be hers.
"That's you." Scott said five minutes later when they
approached a door already bearing her rank name and
position.
"I'm guessing mine is along here."
They both looked along the corridor and Rangi said . "
Thanks Scott I appreciate it."
"No problem." he said but didnt hand over the case. " I'll
take it in for you."
She consulted the slim padd again and tapped in the security
code. The door slid open and she stepped inside.
"There you go." Scott said, setting the case down inside the
door. "Ok?"
"Yes..fine thankyou." she replied. " I'll catch up with you
in a while...I'm going to try to find out why we're here."
He gave a nod and left her, walking away towards his own new
home. The door slid shut and Rangi walked further into the
room.
It was nice enough, quite spacious and light, it looked
comfortable but she took little notice of her surroundings
as she headed towards a small desk set in the far corner
surrounded by shelving.
She leaned forward,opened the terminal, identified herself
and asked to speak to Captain Rojac at his earliest
convenience, thinking that he of all people would have the
answers to her questions.
