Sneaky Wench

Mission: Devotion of Time
Timeline: After the Raptor is discovered

After Nexi got off the comm with the Captain of the Raptor, Nexi headed back up to the bridge to report in. She felt like there was some bit of information she was missing here, but it was none of her business. Still, it bugged Nexi... When the lift reached the bridge, she quickly strode to the Captain's office and hit the chime.

"Come in," Enalia called, sitting back in her chair. She felt like she spent way too many nights in her ready room.

Nexi entered the office and plopped down on the little sofa across from the desk. "I talked to the ship that's following the Hera," Nexi came right out with it. "It a ship called the Raptor, Captained by Azrhianna. They were pretending to be System Patrol."

Enalia leaned forward and rested her forehead on her desk. "Please... Please get rid of her. I don't want another gaping hole in my ship."

"Ah, so you've had dealings with her before?" Nexi said with a chuckle. "She said she wanted something, but I don't think she was in a particularly sharing mood with me to tell me what. Although, I intimated that I was running a con on the Hera and that I had convinced the crew that her tachyon trail was mine. and I gave just enough information on myself to make her think she had the upper hand. It's put me in a position where I might be able to 'work' with her, but I'll do everything I can to work against her. I don't know if I can get her to leave though, we vagrants are a stubborn lot."

"That one needs to be thrown into a sun. The first time I had a run in with her, she killed several of my crew, including cadets, blew up an entire impulse drive, and left half my crew in biobeds, including myself." Enalia looked up, eyeing Nexi. "Think you could take her out?"

"In a heartbeat, if I can get onto her ship," Nexi replied. "What does she want so bad?" she asked, not really expecting an answer.

"I've seen her wife in action. She's an assassin wanted by the Federation, Klingons, and Romulans. She's also got an augmented human on her side. Someone like Khan Noonien Singh." Enalia warned. "As for what she wants, I doubt she'd even tell herself so who knows."

"Fuck! Didn't those idiots learn their lesson the first time..." Nexi couldn't stand people who got augmented. It was an insult to everyone who did things the hard way, the right way. "I'll do what I can to get rid of this problem for you."

"Apparently not. It may not be normal, but all 3 have bounties even in the Federation." Enalia said as she leaned back in her chair. "The rest of the crew don't that i know of."

Enalia had just said Nexi's favorite word: bounties! Not one, not two, but three bounties! Nexi grinned. She would claim those bounties! "I'll take care of this for you," Nexi said with a wicked grin.

Enalia's expression was grim. She didn't want Nexi to get in over her head. "Just don't do anything reckless. I don't want to see you or your sister hurt. And if another hole gets blown in my ship..."

"Please, what kind of flake do you take me for? I'm a professional, I get the job done right," Nexi said seriously. "And I sure as hell wouldn't do anything to hurt Aewia. If nothing else, you can count on that much."

Sighing heavily, Enalia smiled as best she could as tired as she was. "I know. I'm just worried is all. You're part of my family now."

"Yeah, that's taking some getting used to..." Nexi murmured. Then she rose from the couch and headed for the door. "Go get some sleep, woman, you look like shit."

"Love to. With people waking me up at all hours, I might as well sleep here though." Enalia giggled a bit, hauling herself out of her chair and following Nexi out of her ready room.

"Yeah, but I guess it's better we found about your little friends following you now rather than later when they're blowing holes in your ship," Nexi said as they headed for the lift.

"Thank goodness we at least have that." Enalia said as they entered the turbolift. "Deck two. How is Aewia doing, anyway?"

"She's getting better, more lucid," Nexi said as the lift started moving. "Oh, almost forgot! I was going to give this to Fairchild, but I suppose you'll know what to do with it too." Nexi took the small PaDD with the numbers Aewia had remembered. "She remembered some numbers, they look like coordinates, but my initial search didn't pull up much. And there's a few other things on there that I was able to find, asking around through my various contacts. it's not much, but maybe it'll help."

"Great, more work. I guess I should go back to my office." Enalia grinned, shaking her head as she took the PaDD. "I'll start the computer working on it and send it to Fairchild before I pass out."

Nexi nodded. The lift stopped and the door opened, but before Enalia could disembark, Nexi stopped her. "I just wanted to thank you," Nexi said awkwardly. "Aewia really is doing so much better... I never would have had the resources to take care of her if I were out on my own, so thank you."

Enalia smiled motherly and after a moment, pulled Nexi into a hug. "You're very welcome. You may not have a very high opinion of most 'fleeters' but taking care of our families is something we try our best at."

Nexi stood uncomfortably for a moment, but eventually she put her arms around Enalia. She didn't know what to say after that, so she remained silent when she pulled away.

Nodding sleepily, Enalia pulled away and headed back towards her quarters. "Sleep well, sexy." she called behind her, slurring the 'sexy' a bit to sound kind of like 'Nexi'.

Nexi huffed as Enalia walked away and the lift doors closed to take her to her deck. 'Sneaky wench...'
