The Lieutenant JG and Dunjen had just left the Royal Palace and were on their way to a clearing to initiate a safe transport to the Amandora. As they walked they were passing a house, a short distance from the Palace, with a women sitting on the front porch.

"Nix stop" Dunjen said in her thoughts "There that women.....I have a feeling about her." So Nix stopped in her tracks and turned looking at the women when their eyes met.

Cyndi seeing the two men stop and stare at her put down the science journal she's been reading, got to her feet and walked down to meet them. Recognizing the uniform of Intel. "I'm Commodore Song, can I help you two?"

Hearing what the women had just said Nix stood tall with her shoulders back knowing the name "Begging your pardon Ma'am....I'm Lieutenant JG Nix Dunjen....I've recently been reassigned to the Amandora....I'm the new Infiltration Specialist" she stated as she could hear Dunjen "Ah ha, I knew this women was of importance."

"You came from the Palace, is everything okay? And welcome to the Amandora," Cyndi said "Can I offer you something to drink it's a little warm here."

Relaxing somewhat Nix replied "Yes Commodore everything is fine, I had orders from StarFleet Intelligence to speak to the Queen and reassure her that Star Fleet was taking this whole situation very seriously before I went aboard Ship " then with a smile "Thank you Commodore I look forward to serving under your Command. A drink would be nice but I don't want to intrude on your personnel time....I've read the reports concerning your ordeal and I'm sure you need your rest."

"Rest is one thing, but for some reason my mother thinks I need to waited on. She forgets I'm not a little girl anymore. I'm a Starfleet Commodore, a wife and a mother," Cyndi replied "I hope this ends soon too. I'm going to head to my late grandfather's place and go through his files."

Nix sat in the offered seat and accepted the beverage and took a sip which was most refreshing. Then looking at the Commodore "Your Grandfather's files may very well be the key to straightening out this whole situation and ease the Queen's mind" she commented "At least you would have royal documentation concerning Usher's accusations."

Cyndi nodded "That I would, and since I know where he kept his files. The only hard part is convincing my mother to let me go get them. They're in the old palace, we don't use it anymore and it's fallen into disrepair. It's not dangerous, it's just over two hundred years old."

The Lieutenant JG thought for a moment "Not that you need any help....but perhaps I could go with you tomorrow and mention to the Queen that with my talents I may be of assistance" she replied "But I do need to check in aboard the Amandora before they send Security looking for me; although I would need you to order me to assist you in order to leave the Ship again."

"I'm currently not in command, I need to be cleared for duty by the ACMO Doctor Long and the Counselor. As you know when I was taken from my ship my command codes became inactive. But there are ways, so yes I can get you back here. Can you ride a horse? I'll also speak to my mother about this," Cyndi replied.

"I've never ridden a horse exactly but i have ridden other four legged creatures on Trill....so I don't imagine it can be that much different" she replied being quite excited about going right to work so soon after arriving to her new home.

"I'll make sure I get you a nice gentle horse," Cyndi said "One that my five year old can handle," she teased "If your going with me be here by 11:00 tomorrow morning. That gives me time to persuade my mother to let me go."

The Lieutenant JG smiled as she stood "Understood Commodore, I'll check in with the XO and let he or she know of our current situation. With any luck the XO will give me permission to return and help you....if not then I guess you'll be on your own."

"I'm sure she will," Cyndi said "The hard part is going to be my mother. Knowing her she'll insist on guards."

"Commodore you'd be a lot safer with me than you would be with a bunch of Royal Guards" Nix commented "I should be going and check in with the Ship.

Cyndi nodded "Yes you should. I may be safer with you but I still answer to a Queen as long as I'm here. She may be my mother but she's the Queen."

"Commodore I meant no disrespect to the Queen, I was just stating the obvious" Nix replied hoping that she had not said the wrong thing "Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow." With that Nix walked off the porch and walked a safe distance away. Tapping her Comm "Transporter Room this is Lieutenant JG Nix Dunjen....lock onto my signal and beam me aboard please."

Moments later the Lieutenant JG was gone from sight.
