[Kyte_]

COM ID: [TAZ]Fyre, Chaosgirl's Pride, Commanding

After indulging in the last of Sophie's coveted pie, Fyre hugged her sister and looked at her. Kyte's eyes betrayed her fatigue. Fyre knew that she would push herself beyond capacity, it was her way. But somehow the sparkle remained. That was her sister... always the optimist.

"Get some sleep, Sis", Fyre said softly, it wasn't a suggestion.

"I'm going to take a few hours, I think..."

Fyre nodded and hugged her sister before heading back to the "Pride". Shasta was a buzz with activity, people rushing past, like blood in an artery, speaking quickly. She paused outside of Doc Holiday's office. The door was ajar and she could hear him cursing inside, something she was NOT accustomed to. Fyre stepped in and was confronted by a pale John Holiday.

"Doc?"

"Fyre..., " he began, clearly embarrassed. "...I thought I was alone."

"Kyte told me about the situation in Liberty, most unfortunate." she concluded.

"Unfortunate..." Doc spat the word out.

His features were drawn out, she could tell he was on his last string. She stepped forward and he took a measured step back, having found his professional detachment once more. A slight tick in his cheek gave away his emotion, which was both strong and telling. His mind was laboring over something.

"I'll see to this... situation, Fyre. You have my word. One way or another, it will be resolved."

"Doc... it will resolve itself in a week's time. We just need to cool our heels for a bit where Liberty is concerned", she said.

"Listen..." He began, "...I've made a decision"

Fyre stood dumbfounded as Doctor John Holiday relayed the details of his plan to her. His resolve was strong, and she knew he wouldn't be persuaded against his decision. Fyre nodded to the man and asked how she could help. Doc, smiled at that and showed her Matok's communique'.

"What is he going to do?", Fyre was suddenly very concerned.

"I do not know, Fyre... but I do know there are few that he'll listen to, let alone speak with. His ways are a mystery to most of us, and I respect that. However, you... my dear... well you seem to have a connection with our Klingon brother... perhaps he will speak with you..." Doc's voice trailed off...his thoughts turning toward his wife and their unborn child.

"Doc... where is he?"

"Preparing to get underway as we speak, I expect."

Doc looked at Fyre, her eyes betrayed her concern... and something else. He gave her a weak smile, knowing that suddenly she was not where she needed to be. He stepped forward and lowered his voice.

"I suspect... you have something to attend to Commander?"

"I'll see you later, Doc" Fyre blurted out... already making for the Office door.

Fyre hit her com badge, as she quickly walked to the shuttle bay.

"This is Commander Fyre on Shasta, I want 'Pride' warmed up and ready to make way. Recall the crew, All passes are suspended. I want her combat ready with in the hour. Fyre out!"

Fyre, entered the shuttle and initiated the quick launch sequence and in a matter of moments she was winging her way to Pueblo Bonito. Ignoring the auto dock proceedures she kicked the thrusters to 110% and took manual control of the shuttle.

"No... not without me, Matok... NOT happening", she hissed through clenched teeth.
