Now that Tara had permission to do some exploring and to see what the sensor ghosts were it was time to approach the commodore. Cyndi did have the final say. After finding out where the commodore was Tara headed for the bridge and after a quick check with the science officer on the bridge Tara made her way to the ready room, palmed the door sensor and waited for permission to enter.

Cyndi had been double checking all the security protocols that were in place for the peace talks that would be happening soon, she hoped when the door chime sounded. Glad for the distraction “Enter,” she called and closed the lap top. Seeing Tara enter “Lieutenant what can I do for you, please have a seat.”

“Thank you commodore, I hope you’re not busy. I have a request and I’ve already run it by my boss,” Tara said taking the offered seat.

“I am busy, but I needed the break so you’re a good distraction. What can I do for you?” Cyndi asked

“Well, I’m sure you’ve seen the sensor ghosts and we as hard as we try cannot get a fix on them or determine what they are. What I do know is they’re located hear the next planet in the system; it’s about a half light year from here. As I said I ran it by my boss has approved it pending your final say,” Tara said

“Tara, I know about the issues between your people and the Romulans, I know there is talk about them being nearby. I also know you’re the one who got the treaty between your people and the Romulan Empire. Have you given any thought as to what could happen should these Romulans not honor the treaty?” Cyndi asked

“Ive thought about it, but I also want to go see what is out there. As a scientist yourself I’m sure your curious as well and sitting here is not getting any answers,” Tara said “You and I are both high figures with our own people and yes I know who you are. I promise anything threatening happens I’ll leave. But I want to do this.”

Cyndi leaned back in her chair and studied the officer before her for several minutes, opening a drawer on her desk, picked up a PADD and slid it across to Tara “I have a shuttle aboard, it’s mine, that is the code to the alarms and what you’ll need to use it. I want you to take my shuttle. It’s packed full of every science equipment that my parents could fit onto it. It’s also fully armed. It was a gift from my parents when I made captain. With your minor degree in communications you operating the shuttle shouldn’t be a problem. Consider it a personal request from one Princess to another.”

Picking up the PADD Tara read the information on it and nodded “Thank you sir, I’ll take good care of her.”

“I know you will, you have my permission as well, and just to follow your boss’s orders mine are the same, no undue chances, first sign of trouble your to get back here. I want regular check ins. Is that clear?” Cyndi asked

“You have my word commodore,” Tara said getting to her feet “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” Cyndi said standing “I want to go too but my place is here for now. I’m looking forward to your reports.”

Thanking her again Tara headed first for the science lap to pick up a few things and then made her way to the shuttle bay.
