Mission: Ill Tidings
Location: Archa University City - Apartment
Timeline: 0900 hrs

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!

Samanthia blinked bleary eyes looking around wondering where that angry loud obnoxious buzz was coming form, till she looked at the clock ta flash red angry numbers at her. Daring her to go back to sleep.

"Damn!" She rolled over onto the scattered pads both electronic and paper, pens and snapping of pencils under her weight. "Ow !" Getting poked and jabbed.

She finally made it out of the cluttered bed without farther injury and scampered to the bathroom as another need made its presence known. Bursting into the shared bathroom to use the facilities.

"Eeeek!" Giving a yelp of surprise as she sat down on a wet cold porcelain seat in a mist filled room. Then it dawned on her that her roomie was in the shower. "Sorry!" to the giggles coming from behind the shower curtain over the spray of water.

"No problem, Sammy," Salena shutting off the water as she stepped from the shower, her body glistening with moisture and tendrils of steam rising from her body in the cooler air outside the tub. "All yours," As she wrapped a towel around her body and picking up a shorter one to wrap her hair up in.

Samanthia smiled her thanks as she finished up. Stepping from her panties and into the tub. Sliding the curtain closed and starting the shower going. Since it was already warmed up, why waste time and getting a jolt of cold water at the start.

It wasn't the first time they had seen each other in the nude or partially dressed. It was bound to happen when two shared an apartment.

Samanthia took a quick shower and did pretty much the same as Salena, only difference was taking her dirty clothes with her back to her room. It was the typical start of the day routine. Now she had purpose again.

To figure out how she was going to extend her privilege of having access to the University Library and Archives. Plus she had to 'borrow' several tomes from the Archives to keep her research a secret. She wondered if her own Fleet Security Codes were still good out here on SB-332 since it was way the out here on the Galactic South and haven't been notified of her status as a Civilian and her Fleet security clearance been revoked.

Maybe a quick message to "Mr Isotep" to make sure she had access. But that would place her back in his debt and he always collected one way or another. She hated to owe that slime ball any favors or being in debt to him. But then those he sent to lay over at her place minded their manners, even though the slime oozed off of them and they leered at her openly as they sized her up for whatever they had in mind to do to her. But fortunately she had been lucky. All it would take, was just one and she would be dead.

She looked thoughtful as she got dressed for the day. She made funny faces as she knew she would end up making a day trip to the station to get her gear for the raid on the Archia's Archives for the books she wanted to 'borrow'. While on the station she could easily use the subspace radio and data links to extend her search through computer archives of the Vulcan Science Institute and Sol-3 Daystrom Institute for related materials. She glanced at her schedule for the day and she could easily make the trip before her afternoon class. At least be able to grab her gear she needed.

One good thing about being a 'Sleeper', she had the same training as an Infiltration Specialist. But she rarely used it since fully retiring from Star Fleet Reserves Services. Mainly it was to provide 'Mr. Isoteps' Agents a place to lay over out of sight of Station Security till it was time to move on.

She looked at herself in the mirror, nodding at herself with a soft smile. Straightening up her room making it look neat once more. Soon she was on her way out of the apartment, heading to the Aerospace port.

By 0937 hrs... It was nice to have access to ones own shuttle craft to come and go as one pleases. Samanthia finished up her pre-flight checks and warm-up of the shuttle. It was an older class of shuttles from the era of old Constitution Class ship that ventured forth from Earth on their "Five Year Mission of Exploration".

She liked this shuttle as it had a history while making history. It was debatable that this shuttle was part of the most famous of ships at that time. Soon she was heading for space with the necessary clearance heading back to the Star Base. A fast quick jaunt. Land on the Akiashiro Deck.

Coming into range of the Starbase, Samanthia followed flight protocol and contacted SB-332, letting them know she was entering the sector and heading to Deck 1403. Those been on the station for awhile knew that this shuttle was one of the Akiashiro fleet of personal small crafts.

"Akiashiro - 451, you're cleared to proceed," Came the familiar voice from flight control came back over the type 6 shuttle's radio, making her smile a bit.

"I'll be on the station for a few hours and departing station at 1200 hrs. Sending flight plan for return trip to Archa IV." She replied as she sent her flight plan to Flight Control.

"We've received your flight plan info, Miss Akashiro" Came back from Flight.

"Thank you. Have a nice day." Samanthia replied a she turned her full attention back to flying the shuttle to land on Akiashiro's Deck 1403 Hanger bay.

A few minutes later she had the shuttle landed and facing the exit for departure in a couple of hours. A quick swing up to Warp-12 to acquire supplies for the shuttle when needed to head out once she had directions and the books, journals she needed. It would come down to cyphering the clues to sally forth into the unknown.

Samanthia picked up the Akiashiro Security Team that went with any of the Akiashiros when they left the Akiashiro Deck to any different levels of the station. She sighed as the reality of needing them as the Refugees were getting restless and accousting anyone to get their plight heard. She stepped off the turbolift on the promenade deck with the team. They formed around her and then took off to Warp-12 Lounge.

She entered the Lounge and the team moved over to the table reserved for them in the lounge's restaurant portion. Unaware of the effect she was having on a Fleeter, paused at the salad buffet to get herself a quick snack as she reserved supplies to be sent to shuttle on Deck 1403. Once she had her food in hand, straightened up and looked over the room as she slowly spun around looking at various patron.

The small group of Fleeters seamed to get agitated when she swept her gaze over them. It wasn't her place to interfere with them checking people out and she had even worser element of the station leer at her, but never to have one become agitated. Maybe it something else that they was discussing amongst themselves. She turned and moved off with purpose and focus to complete her mission here as she moved from the customers area into Employees area, eating on the run....
