Mission: Who Watches The Watchers
Location: Akiashiro Deck 1403, Samanthia Apartment

Samanthia looked in the full length mirror at herself. She smoothed out the Caitian styled dress designed for her in the color scheme that denoted S'er'in'e status and rank within the Caitian Warrior Society and her status as his mate a long with the jewelry. Everything was in its proper place. She gave herself a nod and then moved gracefully to the apartments computer terminal that also had a link to Akiashiro's Subspace Communication System that was independent of the Starbase 332's. She typed in commands and went through the various links to get connected to Cait. She then looked through Cait Directory to find the link she needed. As soon as she found the links she needed, began the process of making contact.

Once that was done, Samanthia settled back, getting comfortable as she waited for the connections to be made and the Caitian she was contacting to appear and respond. She looked thoughtful as she went over what she was going to say. She schooled herself into a neutral pose and expression. Just by calling, they would have the advantage and knowing S'er'in'e a lot longer than she did. At least she was showing she was willing to set aside pride to seek additional help to make sure her Mate wasn't effected by the disgrace of a failed commanding officer to effect the subordinates under her command. She gave thought if she should also ask for additional help for Captain Von with the limited knowledge she had acquired through gossip and general conversation of those both Fleet and Civilians that patronage the Warp-12 Lounge on the Promenade Levels. She would deal with getting additional help for Captain Von after she had seen how effective she was getting help for her husband, S'er'in'e.

With distance came a little wait before a connection was made, the display showing the a Caitian logo which if could be read was the Office of Extraplanetary Affairs. A light brown furred feline answered, intricate jewlery adorned her brow and nose indicating she too was Mated. "I am C'Merah of the Extraplanetary Affairs Office, how may I be of assistance to you?" Even without Samanthia knowing, the assistant was already running facial recognition programs to identify to whom she was talking to and, to whom she was Mated to.

"I'm Samanthia Akiashiro, mated to S'er'in'e." Samanthia spoke clearly to allow the UT to do its job. "I need to call upon the assistance of S'er'in'e's Warrior Societly to help to prevent his status amongst Star Fleet and Caitian Warrior Society from falling into disgrace. Can you make the connections for me, C'Merah?"

"One moment please." The link paused, replaced by another logo before it was connected once again. This time it was connected to another female who clearly held status given her many items of jewellery and decorated attire. This particular Caitian Samanthia has met before some time ago. Consul Mar'e'e. Formerly the Advisor General to the SCDF now she was in charge of it. "Elder Samanthia. We met before when S'er'in'e brought you to our beautiful world. I am Mar'e'e. What can I do for you?"

Samanthia smiled without showing teeth to show her pleasure at speaking with someone she was familiar with. "Elder Consul Mar'ee. It is good to see you in fine health. And we're, including our daughter, is in good health." Even if it may break protocal, Samanthia gets down to business, "I need assistance in making sure that S'er'in'e isn't disgraced in upcoming court-martial of Star Base 332 Commanding Officer. There is a General Lowe that's been digging into Starbase records and other sources to convict Captain Von. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated."

"I see." the voice calm and typically feline in its inflection. "Well before I promise anything I am sure you understand the need to gather all the details about the situation, as well as his part if any in them and speak to S'er'in'e myself." While the male held import it was clear that Mar'e'e was not going to blindly do as requested. "Is it possible to arrange these things?"

"You can on this subspace routing..." Samanthia gives it. "... According to your time and ours, to provide actual contact without playing subspace tag or sending messages that may or may not get intercepted. It seams like this General Lowe has his personnel tapping into Star Fleet subspace radio and messaging system. The link I gave you is through Akiashiro private subspace link. That time would be 23:00 hours Caitian Meridian Time Zone*. It would be here around 20:00 hours." Samanthia gave a shy smile as if she was telling a family secret and wasn't suppose to be telling outside the family. "It's his mandatory bedtime. Self imposed." She bows her head in the manor of portraying feline body language for embarrassment. "I'll let him know to expect your call on this matter."

Mar'e'e gazed at Samanthia doing much to protect her Mate, it was admirable to see a Human embrace core Caitian ideals and for seeing S'er'in'e for the value of his worth. She of course had to wonder if this was because she knew S'er'in'e would easily be presented options if Samanthia were to hurt him but....time will tell. "Very well. I shall make my assistant available when S'er'in'e is able to contact me. She will collect me once the connection is made." Looking up she knew her assistant heard her orders and noted the flick of the ear in receipt.

"I'll let S'er'in'e know to make the call. Also, I will leave a message for him of what we talked about." Samanthia spoke softly, reaching out and typing in a message for S'er'in'e to make the call, along with the reason that she had initiate the call for outside assistance in the current matter of the upcoming trail. "Thanks for accepting the call and listening. Call on this subspace routing frequency anytime you need to get in touch with S'er'in'e if when you need him. Terminating connection in ten minutes if I don't receive a response back."

There would be no response, everything that needed to be said had been, all that was waiting was S'er'in'e to make the next move.
