~Wammanoki is with me and Iam one with Wammanoki~

 

He inhaled smelling the sentof the plants and soil around him.

~She is the one who guides me on the path less travelled~

He felt the earth through his kneeling body as he connected to itsenergies of the flora and fauna in this artificially constructed environment. 

~I fearnothing because she walks by my side~

=^=Arbor there is an urgent call from theUSS Jarvis=^=

The voice broke through his concentrationlike a knife through butter. He blinked for a moment or two as he reasserted hismind to the outside world. 

“Understood.”

He slowly stood making sure that he didnot disturb the flowers that were around him and headed off along the pathtowards a wall mounted console. He tapped he screen to accept the call andwaited for it to connect.

The image of Ranger Florence the Ranger Intelligence,Operations and Deployment Officer appeared. She oversaw all deployments ofRanger assists for the quadrant. From that Arbor could tell she was sitting in anoffice somewhere on board the Jarvis .

~Ow this is big~

=^=Ranger Arbor=^=

“Ranger Florence”

 

He saw her pause for a moment before carrying on.

 

=^=I am sorry to be the one to tell you this, but theTellar outposthas been destroyed will all hands=^=

 

Arbor rocked back withthe almost physical blow of the news.

 

~All of them. Wasn’t Bransonposted there. Ow no~

 

“Everyone, the whole outpostbut how?”

 

~Wammanokiis with me and I am one with Wammanoki~

 

He fought the calmingcontrol as it reasserted itself. The pain, loss and shock was compartmentalisedfor future acknowledgement as this was not the time. She watched him for a momentas he regained control before carrying on.

 

=^=We were not the firstships on the scene but there was a garbled message of the outpost being attached.We will arrive in five hours and begin our own investigation=^=

 

Arbor nodded. The Jarvis wasa support and logistics vessel that supported Rangers and their outposts on missions.She was fast and heavily armed as Rangers did not always work in the mostsecure parts of the federation. 

 

“Florence, do we haveany idea who would have done this?”

 

=^=There are nodefinitive suspects yet but from the latest reports before the Tellor was lastwas talking at about a group under the command of a person known as the Dread Pirate. We don’t know much about him only that he is sadistic andruthless=^=

 

“Okay so why are you notgoing after him?”

 

He paused as she lookedat him again.

 

“Sorry Florence.”

 

=^=Quite. To answer yourquestion, we have no proof that he was behind it. We have alerted every rangerand out post to be on the lookout for this Dread Pirate inthe surrounding sectors and the quadrant as a whole=^=

 

He saw the pain behindher hard eyes.

 

=^=We need information.Location strength and numbers. I am not going to send the Rangers into harmsway with out more date. This could be a lone starship or he could have a fleet=^=

 

“Understood.”

 

=^=Good. Now I don’twant you to go off on some vigilant raid=^=

 

“I am stuc….I amassigned to the Exeter. There is no way that I am going to off to get revengeby myself.”

 

She started hard at himfor a moment and then nodded.

 

 =^=I know you knew a lot of the people of Tellor=^=

 

“Yes, I trained some ofthe crew when they went through the academy.”

 

=^=As well as Ranger Branson=^=

 

“Yes, we did Dog days missiontogether.”

 

=^=Yes I thought so.Well Keep me posted on any information you find out about this Dread Pirate =^=

 

“Of course.”

 

She nodded at him andcut the comm connection. He stood there for a moment taking slow deep calming breaths.He was not going to break down here in front of people. He could feel hisemotions begin to force their way to the surface. 

 

“Computer which holodeckis free at the moment?”

 

=^=Holodeck 3=^=

 

“Reserve if for me.”

 

The computer chimed its response as he turnedtowards the nearest turbolift. It was time to deal with the hurt, pain and loss.He was going to kill something it might be photonic but he was going to killit.
