Mission: Brave New World
Location: Fighter Bay
Timeline: while S'er'in'e away with SB332 CO

Samanthia moved through the fighter bay during very slow moment with a few crew working on a fighter. Teaming up to get the job done. She was ignored as she was well known by the crew from her pictures on S'er'in'e's desk and of Warp-12 Proprietor. She saw the crates stacked near by that had Caitian markings on them. She moved over to the tarp covered fighter, which puzzled her greatly.

She grabbed the tarp and gave it a good yank. She watched the Caitian Fighter become unveiled. Her eyes widened at the extensive damage to the craft. She gave an involuntary gasp that drew the eyes of the maintenance crews to her and the damaged fighter just past her.

Million and one thoughts rushed through her mind. As she slowly made her way around the Caitian Fighter. She looked at the damaged Some places the hull was missing and exposing the vitals of the craft.

"Luck and motivation, it took alot of both to get that bird on the deck." A voice spoke behind her to the side. "I'm his crew chief, been working on this since we moved it here, he asked us to hide it from view." The older man, slightly aged with facial hair to suit came to a stand next to her. "Chief Kane." He introduced.

"Samanthia Akiashiro." She glanced at Chief Kane with a nod. "You have the parts here for his craft. Why aint you guys putting more effort into it?" Looking back at the craft. "Have you heard word from S'er'in'e? He should've been back by now."

"Because darlin we don't have 'all' the parts from his Homeworld yet, we can't manufacture parts here. The Colonel ordered them but they have not arrived yet." Kane spoke. "It doesn't help that they were not exactly forthcoming with the design specs of this craft too."

"I'll see what I can do." Samanthia gave a predatory smile. "I'll light some fires under some tails and get one of Akiashiro ships to deliver them. Since fleet's using cheap end freighters services again. As for the schematic for the craft... That is going to be a hard one. I could send a request to Cait to send techs along with the parts. Couldn't you reverse engineer it?" You have machine shops here to clean up parts?"

"Reverse engineering is more RnD and engineering, besides I doubt the Colonel would approve and I don't think his world would be too happy and legally inclined to just let us do that even with him serving on board." Kane moved the tarp off to one side next to the fighter ready to be thrown over it again. "His orders." pointing to the tarp. "He didn't want people seeing it I guess. I don't understand his ways or methods, hes the boss and I just look after his craft and I'm trying my best but its a waiting game for the time being."

"I guess I'll have to call his parents to see if they can light a fire to get what you need. Is there another Fighter he could use?" Samanthia gave a soft laugh, "Warrior's Pride," she winked at him. "You stationed here by yourself?" turning her full attention on Chief Kane.

Pride took all kinds of shapes and sizes, only this particular one was rather substantial, just like the being it belonged to. "No, I have a few friends from my class here, we sort of stuck together." He looked around to see other crews working away. "So...your Mrs CAG, I'd heard stories but talk is one thing, seeing is another down here."

"Yeah, we're married Caitian Style," Samanthia smiled a bit as she looked back at the Caitian Fighter. "That is good."

"I don't mean to pry but some of heard what happened in the Dive, does he not scare you?" Kane asked, trying to get an understanding of his boss a little better. "I'm not meaning to be rude but the CAG doesn't really socialise with the crews much and so...yeah." He shrugged.

Samanthia looked at Kane and spoke so only he could hear. "He scared the hell out of me. Yet..... He has a gentle soul and very protective of what he considers his."

"Explains a lot to be honest, hiding his craft, you, the way he is. I guess he just needs time to open up to us. We look up to him but being new I think we are still feeling each other out so to speak." Kane replied.

"Here lets cover up his Craft. I don't want him to know I've seen his fighter broken. And I'll send word to Cait to send help, both in parts and techs." She moved to where she could help him on the tarp.

"Thanks." It took a little doing to put the tarp over the craft again, many ladders had to be used to cover it up. "Thanks, pretty sure the crew will be happy to hear that." Kane replied as he secured it to the loops on the floor.

Samanthia took off from the Fighter Bay, making her way back down to Akiashiro deck. Stopping long enough to send a message to S'er'in'e Mother.

Dear S'ir'tha

I hope things are well and are in good health. I'd contacted you sooner, but there was a communication black out due to the Starbase had been attacked. Which brings me to ask for parts and Techs for S'er'in'e Fighter Craft. Or I can have the Akiashiro Consortium ship the craft to Cait and bring it back fixed. We're in the process of having children. Thank you for the extra Caitian manufactured cloth. Making a nice profit. I can send you a split of the profits. My house Elder, Raphael would like to open trade treaties with you for the Cait Cloth.

Your Daughter,
Samanthia

Samanthia had it translated to Caitian and sent it off to S'er'in'e's Parents.
