Lieutenant Is’Kah Xiron - Approaching the Ice Box

[Is'Kah Xiron]

((Shuttlecraft Freyja, Approaching Ginan Colony, Unaligned Space))

Is’Kah was curled up in the co-pilot’s chair with a blanket wrapped around zhen. Zhen legs were tucked in, while zhen head hung loosely to the side with zhen mouth hanging open. The petite woman had been tired for the last few days. Who would have thought that providing everything for a lifeform would drain someone so quickly?

Thankfully, Ghee’looth had packed their bags and handled the travel arrangements. The flight had been long, but relaxing. Even if zha ate a lot more than usual, but that was understandable considering zha was eating for two. When the console started chirping that they’ve arrived, Is’Kah opened zhen eyes. Zha immediately noticed the Ambassador and Miranda, who had to be Starfleet surplus ran by the Andorian Imperial Guard. Yet the most intresting was the Vor’cha-Class produced by the Klingons.

Xiron: What are the Klingons doing here?

Is’Kah: I’m not sure.

Xiron: =/\= Ginan Approach, this is the Starfleet shuttle Freyja. We request permission to land. =/\=

Ginan Approach: =/\= Starfleet shuttle, this is an Andorian Imperial Guard facility, please transmit your access codes. =/\=

Xiron:: Looking to her partner:: Access codes?

Is’Kah: Shouldn’t that e-mail have them?

Ghee typed on the console, probably sending their registrations from Starfleet.

Xiron: =/\= Ginan Approach, we are Lieutenant’s Ghee’looth and Is’Kah Xiron of Starfleet again requesting permission to land=/\=.

Is’Kah: Worse cast, we call your friends.

A moment passed.

Ginan Approach: =/\= Starfleet shuttle, you are cleared for the North landing pad. And let me be the first to welcome two Sentinels of the Light on to our facility. =/\=

Is’Kah smiled at the callout, but knew zhen partner was peeved about it. Ghee’looth didn’t particularly enjoy all the pomp and circumstance that came with Clan honor.

Xiron: What’s going on here? Why is the Imperial Guard running a merchant facility? And why is there a Klingon vessel in orbit?

Is’Kah: Logically, they hired a ship to help keep the facility safe. You’ve seen Stillwater, I wouldn’t blame them.

Xiron: Rassahl and Arohr have a lot of explaining to do once we touchdown.

The petite hybrid smiled at Ghee’looth.

Is’Kah: I am looking forward to learning about it.

The shuttle was lifted by a tractor beam that drew it deep into the dwarf planet, then passed through a force field, before three people in Klingon space suits. They scanned the small craft before approving their entry and a second beam picked them up to take them deeper.

Xiron: Are we still buying that this is only a refueling center for merchant trade?

Is’Kah: Sure, they need to make sure there isn’t anything on the craft that might react with vapers or anything.

Xiron: Response

Is’Kah: Or it’s totally a spy post. Andoria did make them like this during the Vulcan War.

Xiron: Response

Is’Kah: Well, I believe it falls under none of my business. If our Captain wishes to know, she’ll tell us to look. For all we know, Lieutenant Seleya had already informed her.

Xiron: Response
