ON:

"Ahdar we are receiving intelligence from one of our operatives on the crossroads station," the lady manning comms. informed him. Her stretched head he noticed looked as if she needed her next treatment sooner rather than later.

"I'm only in the mood for good news!" Arjyn snapped from her over sized, gordy chair that was upholstered in a deep red velvet material, embroidered gold silk trim around the edges. It was large enough for her to bring her feet up onto the chair with her. The bridge itself was a small affair, several consoles along the walls. Several Tarlac and Ellora mixed in with the bridge crew, even if they were enslaved.

“Yes Ahdar,” she said rapidly reading through the message praying it was good news. “They wish to be patched through. With your permission?” She said formally.

"Put them through" she replied, still feeling a sense of utter disinterest.

The viewscreen opened and the figure was blurred out. Clearly humanoid but their features not on display. It seemed their voice was being processed through a synthesiser too sounding odd.

"Ahdar Arjyn, I believe you are looking for a certain starship," they stated. "I know where they are going to be."

Now her interest was focused like a diamond tipped blade. She had been searching for this ship for some time. Not only had Starfleet been the demise of her brother in the metaphasic rings above Ba'ku but another Starfleet Captain had thwarted her efforts to destabilise Starfleets presence in the region. If anything it had only strengthened what with Deep Space 21 beginning operation and two other large capital ships posted to the area. It was starting to get a little too crowded for her now. One person though was the focus of her revenge, Captain Jonathon Reynolds.

"Where is it... I will have my revenge!"

"First payment," the operative demanded. "If you want the area their new mission is taking them into you need to pay."

"And what is the cost for this information?" She had latinum, Xindi Mood stones... Even some biomimetic gel and she was prepared to pay for the information. She would be lying however if the thought of taking the information and then blowing this coward out of the stars... Or she would have if he had been present.

"You will give me a copy of the schematics for your shiny new ship. Its not lost upon us that you profited greatly from Villeneau before it was blasted out of existence," the blurred out operative stated. "You transfer me that, and I will transfer you coordinates of the area they are headed too."

"Agreed" she snapped her greed for revenge outweighing her rational thought at this stage. She waved a hand at the communications officer, a young Ellora male, giving him permission to send the data along the same open channel once he confirmed the data they wanted had been transmitted. "Now give me what I want!"

The blurred operative immediately transferred the information to someone else before sending the information the Cetea wanted, just in case they were about to betray him and shoot him out of existence. The thought had occurred to him.

"There Ahdar. Happy hunting," he stated.

Arjyn did not acknowledge the comment from their benefactor and instead was stalking towards her tactical officer, the blood lust she could feel in her veins was taking over.

"Tactical appraisal of the Andromeda... How quickly can we slit her throat?"

"We have to reach her first. They are headed to this area of space. Lots of asteroids which will scramble sensors and well .... Ahdar. Its got a reputation of being rather .... unusual. Some say haunted."

"I am not concerned by shades and whispers" she cooed before turning to her helmsman. "Find us a hiding!"

"Analysis shows all their weak spots through. Once we reach them we should be evenly matched."

"But we have the element of surprise. We pick out moment and we pounce on our prey when they least expect it. I will bath in their blood this day!" the adrenalin already pumping at the prospect of the kill. "I will have my revenge!"

“Yes Ahdar. Plotting course to intercept them,”

"Engage at maximum warp". an edge to her voice, one of danger, anger and blood lust all mingled together as her lips peeled back, forming a smile, or as close as she could get given how taught her skin was after her recent treatment.
