Ivette sighed, studying the flexis on slipfighter strategy, which did not interest her very much, but as the Andromeda lacked even a skeleton crew, she did not have a choice. Soon, however her mind drifted; before she knew it, a familiar voice called her.
"How’s it going?" Dylan asked, smiling
"So So"
"I see. Ivette, how would you like to go to a summit?
"No"
"Well…" Dylan started, rubbing the back of his neck, "see I signed you up for one. "
"What??"
"It’ll be a great way to get publicity for the Commonwealth and a chance for you to meet your peers"
"But I’ve got nothing to present" Ivette was attempting to be diplomatic.
Dylan shrugged his shoulders "you could do a paper on one of the aliens in your universe.. you have texts, don’t you?"
"Yeah but…
"Look, it’s in one month. You go give a lecture or two, and take a break from the grinding routine"
"No! Dylan, I’m tired of your volunteering me without my permission. Tell them I’m sick, because I am not going!" the annoyance of Ivette’s face showed in her brown eyes, as they got darker. "And don’t give me that do it for the Commonwealth speech."
With that, she got up from the couch, and left their quarters, going to hydroponics. As usual, Trance could be seen , pruning watering, and anything else the plantlife, required.
"I can’t believe it," Ivette started to tell Trance, as the former sat next to her "Why must he always volunteer me for things?"
"He felt that you were the best one for the job." Trance carefully water some aqua purple flowers.
"Why didn’t he just ask me? It’s that too demanding a request? I think not."
Suddenly, Holo-Andromeda appeared.
"Ivette, there is a message for you"
"From whom?" Ivette, ever since she’d arrive in this universe,, raraly received any messages. "Put it up on the nearest view screen"
So, on a small viewscreen in hydroponics, Ivette saw her message.
"Ivette, how are you." The person with a green face, and pointy ears asked " I heard about you being on the crew of the Andromeda, and so I thought I’m send this message. I can’t specify any details,but please meet me at the cordinates I’ve sent you.. Vrednak out."
"How did he get here?" Ivette asked herself.
"Who was it?" Trance was curious
"An old friend, I’m going to met him, wanna come?"
"Sure."
So, off they went. Soon, after setting the coordinates for Mintara drift, Trance and Ivette started to talk.
"Tell me about Vrednak" Trance said.
"Well, as you know, I was a military pychologist on a space station called DS9 for a while. During a major war, the Federation, at a critical moment got into an alliance with the Romulan Empire, a foe." During this time, officials and military personnel were often there, as the station started had strategic importance, that’s when I met Vrednak….
"Leakage in Fuel tank one…….." the Maru AI interupted them.
Just as that was fixed, they were already at Mintara drift. Following the instructions that Vrednak gave, Trance and Ivette went to the fifth story of an empty Warehouse. After an hour of waiting, a familiar face appeared. It was Vrednak.
"Of all the Warehouses, in all the Galaxies in the universe, you had to come to mine."
