SHione enjoys the alone time with her friend and engages him in constant conversation.
She is equally interested in how he feels about his new position and how he is adapting to his new responsibilities.

When Dahlakino runs over Shione is at first delighted, and greets her warmly. But her obvious interest in the male beside her tones down her response.

"Fully recovered, thanks to modern medicine. This is my friend Worf, Son of Mogh, and he is the federation ambassador to the Klingon Empire.
Worf, this is my newest friend, Dahlakino. She is an Engineer and a warrior fighting against a totalitarian empire. She was taken by the Sons of the GRandfather and brought here from another universe, against her will. We rescued her with the assistance of Commander Olivaw."

She walks over to where Dahlakino was working, and nods to the Petty officers."So how is she doing with our technology Petty Officers? I am pleased to see that Lt Atek is allowing you to stay busy, Dahlakino"

PO2 MacQuarrie replies, "Well, her native technology is a strange mixture of archaic and extremely advanced, but she's got a real knack for engineering. She could teach the Daystrom Institute a few things. The laws of physics in her universe don't seem to exactly match up with oursmdash;they use a solid state hyperdrive rather than warp drive, and we're familiarising her with the concepts of our drive systems. Hyperdrives are fast—galaxy-spanning travel in a few months. On the other hand, their slower-than-light drives are basically brute-force thrusters. We're learning as much as she is.!"

S'Forlann agree. "But it's not just drive systems that are different. We both use holography but in different applications. They use it as a routine communications system, but don't have anything like a holodeck. They don't have transporters or replicators. I can't imagine living there—they have AI robots or 'droids' that are almost as advanced as Commander Data but are used in every aspect of daily life for just about everything, but their computer tech lags at least a century behind us. Their energy weapons tech is about on a par with ours, but with odd differences, but— —show her your light sabre, Dahla."

Dahlakino takes out a device which closely resembles a century-old universal translator and ignites a glowing blue-green energy blade about a metre long. It gives a low vibrating hum and Shione can smell ozone from a high-energy field. She waves it around briefly and then deactivates it.

S'Forlann grins, "That's a neat bit of tech. It can cut through just about anything, but two blades interact with each other like solids. Sort of a controlled disruptor-cum-laser in a force beam, all weighing under a kilo."

Dahlakino adds, "This is the weapon of a Jedi. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster, but a more elegant weapon for a more civilized age."

Shione listens with an Engineer's ear but when she pulls the sword she is FASCINATED.

"Wow Dahla(?) that is amazing. What is a Jedi and why is the sword important?

Dahlakino seems to go a bit dreamy as she replies, "The Jedi Order is an ancient, monastic peacekeeping organization united in their observance of the Force, specifically the light side. A noble order of protectors noted for their lightsabers and ability to tap into the power of the Force, the Jedi have served as guardians of peace and justice in the Galactic Republic for over a thousand generations, until the dark times. Until the rise of the Empire. I am not a full Jedi, merely a Padawan Learner—an... apprentice." She shakes her head sadly. "My master, the Jedi Knight Orlock was killed on the orders of Emperor Palpatine by Clonetroopers led by Senator Jar-Jar Binks of Naboo. I barely escaped with my life. I fled in Master Orlock's Corellian YT-1300f light freighter, the Emerald Star. Somehow—I don't know how, or exactly when—I wound up in that simulation. I'm still confused by that, but Cdr. Olivaw says I was captured by the Finori and imprisoned there. I've done much meditation and I still can't sort it all out."

Dahlakino bites her lip and appears indecisive. "I don't know what I want to do. I don't even know if I can go home or how I'd go about it. From what Cdr. Olivaw says, there is still a Finori presence on the Dyson Sphere, so maybe if we can capture some, we could get the information out of them. What do you think?"

" I think you should follow your heart, but I will give you a way to contact me and if you do, I will help you to find a place for yourself, wherever you wish."

She hugs the girl

"I have been given a posting on the Enterprise, which is the Flagship of the Federation, and if you wanted a place there, I think you might be able to earn it.

 That ship has been involved in most of the fights against the type of people that you have struggled against. So for you, it just might be a good fit. But to try that remains your choice. I will speak for you, no matter what you choose."

Worf raises an eyebrow and asks Shione quietly as they walk away, leaving Dahlakino to her studies with the two POs, "Which battles are these? The Enterprise-E has never been to her parallel universe to fight this Palpatine's Empire. Neither had the Enterprise-D. The 'E' has only fought the Borg and the Son'a. It did not even take part in the Dominion War."

In the lift up to the outpost proper, Worf asks in a formal voice, "Shione, I am not aware of any debt of honour between us. As a Klingon, I am very aware of such things but cannot recall any unsettled matters of honour. Of what do you speak?"

In reply to Relic GM (msg # 9):

"I was comparing our battles against the Borg, Cardassians, Dominion, to those people  she fought. You are too literal my friend."

She grins as they exit and head towards her quarters. "Besides that, I find her attractive WOrf, and I would like to have a relationship with her. You need to relax and enjoy life.

You are still young 'enough', and there are still women out there that you could share what remains of your time"
  and she moves ahead, walking backwards. Laughing. "Old Man!"

She turns and sprints the rest of the way down the corridor, and into her quarters and as Worf enters, she is facing him, holding a long object, wrapped in fine cloth; a serious look on her face.

Once the door shuts, she speaks. "I owe you my life. Without your training, and your belief in me, I would have perished at the hands of the one who bore this." and she extends her gift to him, continuing, "But more than my life would have been lost that day. The surviving officers and crew of the Haida, would have perished with me"

"My Honor demands that I gift the weapon, that would have taken all those lives, to the friend, who taught me how to fight"

Worf unwraps a Kar'takin. "My blood would have been shed, by this weapon, but for you, my Friend.

And also gifted in gratitude, and affection to my teacher, my former commander and the man I hope will remain a life long friend

Worf replies indignantly, "And you are not literal enough. And you are four years older than I, 'old woman'. Besides, she said her Jedi were a monastic order. That strongly implies an oath of celibacy."

Upon Shione's explanation of her gift, Worf's eyes burn with a fierce fire. "I am honoured.  This will have a prominent place in my collection."

Pleased that she got his blood fired up , she pushed a bit more.
Ah yes, of course , I might be older, wiser, stronger and better looking, but you make up for that by being more ornery, stubborn and curmudgeonly"

She grins at his reference to her Order"Can't blame a girl for trying, now can you

So as they walked back to the shuttle carrying all her gear, she asked"Speaking of my non existent love life, are you seeing someone now?"

"I have not been seeing anyone since Jadzia's death. I had hoped a commection still existed through the Dax symbiont, but Ezri was... not interested. She became involved with Dr. Bashir. And you? I gather not particularly." Worf is usually closed-mouthed about his personal life, but it is a mark of his affection for Shione that he's opened up this much.

In reply to Relic GM (msg # 13):

She moves in front of him.(She has chosen a place of privacy for this) Shione places her hands on his shoulders, her face right in front of his.

"You are my closest friend anywhere, and I love you like family.  K'Ehleyr and Jadzia also loved you. And like me, they knew that you should not be alone.

And as someone who loves you, I believe that,are too good a man, to not have a woman to stand by your side, make you laugh, and give you children."
She drops her hands, and he sees unshed tears.

"You know I only love women, but if I could be with any man, it would be you! It tears my heart to see you like this." She places her hand on (one of) his heart.

"Please, if you love me!? Promise me, you will cease keeping this closed, and you will choose to try, just one more time. You are too good a man, to not have a worthy woman at your side"

She steps forward, wraps her arms around him, and hugs him.

[OOC: Here are the relevant dates:
About 52000.0 - Jadzia's death - beginning of January 2375
Sometime between 52188.7 and 52438.9 - Insurrection - between March 9 and June 10, 2375
About 52750.0 - End of Dominion War - beginning of October, 2375
531XX.X - Relic current date - mid-January, 2376]



Worf returns her embrace as says, "It has been only a year since Dukat murdered Jadzia and the emotions are still raw I have only just begun my new job as an ambassador, so I must put my personal life aside. I can promise nothing for the near future. But thank you for your support. Farewell, Shione. Qapla'!" Worf turns and leaves.

"Worf, Worf, wait up.Hold up for a minute would you, please?"

As she runs she is pulling her Padd out of her pack and flipping through files.

She pulls up some pictures, which she shows to Worf; they are of Shione laughing and carrying on with a tiny lovely red headed girl. They both look happy and in love.

"Her name was Rebecca Praise, and she was my wife,sorta.

We got married by the Captain, 8 months before the battle at Cardassia Prime. I never got to show her off, because we never left the front. We were due to be rotated out, to get new crew, to replace losses, 2 weeks after the time of the battle. What's worse is that she was supposed to be in the Auxiliary Bridge that day, but her superior pulled rank, and switched with her.

He survived, and she died, along with all the bridge crew. And the Jem'Hadar  I killed were the survivors of the ship that fired on us.

I asked for this posting, because it was the only way to stay active in Starfleet.And now that I have proven I can handle it, they're ok with me now."


She leans against the wall, her face in one hand, tears streaming down." I don't want to be alone, Worf, and I thought if I could help you, deal with your loss, and move on, then it might, just might, help me do the same.

She wipes her hand on her clothes,and looks at him, still sniffling a bit. I am so so sorry to bring it all up again, I never mean to hurt you. Can you ever forgive me?"

At 10:00 hours the next morning, after the session with Cassy in the sickbay, Shione's commbadge chirps. "Lt. Kurasa, Sormok here. If you still wish to have a meeting to discuss our planned flight tomorrow? I am available for the rest of the day."

[OOC: As requested, moving right along to the next phase...]

Next morning, Shione, Argent and Nivran ready the Kitchissippi for the flight to Starbase 21. Tony Gazzo has been called to Freeman's Island to work on a Tech Assessment project. As Shione and Nivran complete their preflight checklist Sormok arrives. "Permission to come aboard?" he asks.

Once aboard, he secures his bag in the aft lounge and returns to the cockpit. Nirran takes the Ops position and Sormok takes the Sciences position opposite Argent...

Shione had enjoyed her visit last evening with Cassy and told her she would be back as soon as she could.

"Be good, I'm hoping you will be up and at work."

She said goodbye,"For now, at least" to Nyle and her mom. A long hug and she was off to bed and up early. She was first on board.

"Tony is assigned to Freeman's island till you come back with your new XO.
This is my Father Sormok, which I think you have met. He will be travelling with us, so he may as well take the 4th seat.It will make the journey shorter if we have work and people to talk with"


She finished the pre-check, got her crew strapped in and contacted the "tower"

USS Kitchissippi, bound for STarbase 21, ready for departure, Freeman's Island control, over"

"Outpost Three Control. you are approved for departure, Kitchissippi. Safe flight. Over"

The Kitchissippi rises on thruster power and exits the hangar. Freeman's Island Control takes over. "Kitchissippi, this is Dyson Base Control. Set your course for Portal N1. You are approved for a high-trajectory transit. Over."

The high-trajectory transit allows Shione to take the direct route Worf had used with the shuttlepod two days ago, so they arrive at the portal in a tad over a half hour. As they near the portal, "Dyson Base Control. Portal activation in ten seconds." followed by a countdown. The massive doors roll back to reveal the blackness of space dusted with stars. Passing through, the Runabout goes to warp and the stars streak into the familiar effect of FTL travel.

Shione will use the opportunity to talk to all three during the trip, knowing that she will have time with her father on the Starbase too.

TAG ARGENT AND NIVRAN.

This is the beginning of the new crew.
LT Marissa Swan will be joining you on the STar base.

It's time to speak up gentlemen, as SHione's time is at an end, very soon.

OOC: Still somewhat confused as to where we're going. Is the Dyson Sphere adventure over now?


Argent was of mixed feelings at the moment. He was happy for Shione and her promotion and new assignment, but he'd come to enjoy her company, and that was soon going to end.

"I suppose it's a bit too early to know what the Enterprise's next assignment will be, right?" he asked her, wondering if she had any idea what was in store for her.

He really wasn't jealous of her assignment. True, the Enterprise had a fantastic reputation, but Argent wanted to go 'where no one had gone before'--out beyond the farthest star. The Enterprise tended to stay close to home, because there were too many threats to the Federation still hanging around the Alpha Quadrant.

"How much excitement are you hoping for? Many ships go through their entire lifespan without having a single adventure. I have yet to decide if I'd prefer that or not. As a seeker of knowledge, I suppose you learn more from adventure and excitement than usually-boring research work."
