"A fathers troubles and the new squadron" (Cont'd from "Understanding") LOCATION: USS STONEHENGE Scene: Aerdans quarters Stardate: 2.80219.1511 He just held her gently as, soundlessly, she started to cry. They stood for a while, as time slipped past them, the doors to Aerdan opened and the Andorian looked up to see his daughter and his brother step into the quarters. The family shared a moment while Izzy stepped away and dried her eyes and then finally Iphie broke the silence as little girls tend to do. "Your hair looks nice." She declared looking up at the security officer and taking in her cut hair. "I thought…" "How was school?" Aerdan interrupted distracting his daughter. Arjan smiled as she began chatting and looked over to Izzie. "Are you staying for tea." "You're more than welcome." The CMO offered when he saw her hesitate. "OK." She gave a slight nod and then felt a tug on her hand as Iphie dragged her to help set the table while the two men went to the replicator. "So." Arjan prodded his brother who gave him a calculated dense look and asked. "What?" "You spoke to Kate." The other Andorian said. Aerdan gave his brother a small little smile and nodded. Then decided to cut the conversation off he said simply. "I'm hoping to see her when we're at GATEWAY next." Then he picked up two plates as they materialized and stepped to the table, grudgingly his brother waited for the other plates. When Arjan arrived at the table the conversation was firmly away from Kate or Landwyn as Izzie and Aerdan listened to Iphie talk about school, and what she'd been doing. They asked her a question from time to time but mainly the little girl talked around mouthfuls of food. "And T'nak says that his dads going to get a promotion." Aerdan raised a white eyebrow. "Who's T'nak?" She paused for a second and then said, "he's a friend in my class." "He's her boyfriend." Arjan declared cheerfully. Aerdan and Izzie looked from one to the other and then the security chief carefully tried to hide a smile. "you're a little young for a boyfriend." Aerdan said carefully. "Oh come on." Arjan teased, "I remember you had a girlfriend at school, what was her name…" Aerdan flushed and looked at Iphie, "so which of the boys is T'nak then?" he tried to ignore his brother who was cheerfully saying names of girls in school. "T'nak's the little Klingon boy." Izzie said "His fathers a scientist." Iphie nodded happily and Aerdan sighed. "Cade's going to have a field day." He muttered. Izzie grinned at the doctor. "I'd suggest you just don't tell him." "Sneaky," Arjan complimented the Alterian with a grin and lifted a glass in her direction. Izshlana shrugged her pale shoulders and then quietly mopped up the sauce from the dinner with a piece of bread. "Could I bring T'nak home for dinner one night daddy?" Iphie asked. The Andorian doctor tried to ignore Izzy and Arjan as they snorted with laughter into their food. =[/\]= Scene: Shuttle bay 1 Izshlana was back in uniform and on duty she tugged silently at the bottom of her jacket as she stepped into the shuttle bay, one of the places on the ships usually quiet it was bustling with operations staff and a new flight crew. The security officer caught the arm of one pilot as he hurried past calling out for someone to help with his fighter. "I'm looking for Lieutenant Monaghan." She said softly although her voice carried above the sound of the din. The Klingon nodded and looked up. "Blue, someone here for you." A woman looked up from a PADD and the rack of fighters she was overseeing being put into place. "Cheers hammer." The answer came easily and the slender pilot moved across the space to Izzie. "Frankie Monaghan." She introduced herself and held out her hand. Izshlana took it and carefully shook it. "Ensign Izshlana Vort." She glanced around the shuttle bay. "I need to make sure that everything you're bringing aboard is on the PADD." She waved a PADD that was in her left hand and looked around. "this is going to take a while isn't it?" Frankie burst out laughing the older woman glanced around. "Probably hang on. Happy!" shouting above the din a Vulcan turned and walked over. "Lieutenant?" he asked with one raised eyebrow. "Help the lady check the place over." Frankie ordered. "Spelk here is very efficient." The Vulcan nodded and reached out, Izzie gave him the PADD and then followed while he moved off into the chaos. "So I'm supposed to remember call signs as well as names?" Spelk shook his head, "call signs are the important one if you're flying with us." "Am I likely to be flying with you?" Iz asked as she looked up at one of the ships. "You're security, it's always possible," "Will I need a call sign?" "If you fly with us." "Oh." Izzy went quiet while she worked and the Vulcan showed her the items she needed to check. "Have you ever flown?" the voice that interrupted wasn't Happy's or Blues and she looked up to find another woman staring at her. "Sure but not a fighter, shuttles and the like." Izzy answered as she ticked off the last item on the check list. "We'll have to take you up." The Betazoid declared. "This is Shalandria, call her Shal or Eagle." Spelk introduced the two. "Izshlana Vort." Izzie looked at the ship and then at Eagle. "Well I'm free now." ** NRPG: Sorry guys I've not been too well recently I think I've got tonsillitis again and am still waiting for my ENT referral to come through BAH. Anyway Jamie hope you like this, I remember my niece coming home with her first boyfriend younger than this and thought it might be a bit of light relief for Aerdan to have to deal with this. Peter, some of your squad have arrive. All Any suggestions for Izzies call sign?
