Timeline: Current

ON:

Pulling the horses to a stop in front of her house Cyndi and Nix dismounted. Handing the reins over to the grooms.

Paul hearing the horses stop in front of the house came outside "Did you find what you were looking for?"

"We'll know soon enough," Cyndi said "This is my newest officer Lieutenant Nix Dunjen, Nix my husband Paul Sanderson." Cyndi introduced.

Nix smiled warmly "It's very nice to meet you Sir" she commented "If I may say so Sir.....you have a very gutsy wife."

Paul grinned "Tell me something I don't know. What did she do this time?"

"Nothing really....but considering what she's been through she just keeps pushing forward like nothing ever happened....that's gutsy" Nix replied with a grin....which she usually didn't show while on a mission.

"She never has been one to stay down too long. But you've not experienced the sleepless nights or the nightmares she's dealing with," Paul said "Her parents are making sure she's not over doing it."

"And I'm tired of being pampered. I'm not a baby," Cyndi declared

"You'll deal with it daughter," her father Drew said walking from the house

Cyndi gave her father a respectful bow "Yes sir. Nix this is my father, Drew."

The Lieutenant JG bowed and replied with respect "Sir, it's very nice to meet you; you have a very courageous daughter."

"That she has been," Drew said "Cyndi you will keep your mother and I posted on what you find."

"I will, you'll be among the first to know," Cyndi agreed

Drew nodded "Paul and Brent are joining me for a picnic. This will give you two a chance to work in private. Nix nice to meet you." With that her father followed by Paul headed out.

"Let's get to work on those files. We get the evidence needed I'll send copies to Commander Kahn and my parents," Cyndi said "Then this mess will finally be over."

"Let us hope it that easy Commodore....I'm ready....lead the way" Nix replied knowing from past experience that usually wasn't the case.

Cyndi led the way into her house, stopping at a wall she tapped a code causing the wall to swing inwards. "My private office," walking in she turned on the lights. There were two large tables that faced each other. "We can work in here in private. I have the alarms on the house set and this door will close should the house be breached. And please call me Cyndi."

Nix followed her into her private office....looking around "This is quite a nice and secure Office Cyndi" Nix commented with a smile being quite impressed with Cyndi's attention to detail.

"No one but my husband and my parents know it's here, now you. I had it built before I joined Starfleet," Cyndi commented pulling out the old files "Let's see what is in these."

The Lieutenant JG grabbed a couple of the files and commented "I assume we're looking for any Official documents pertaining to the Old Republican Guard.....especially when they were disbanded" Nix asked.

"Roughly fifty years ago. My grandfather was King," Cyndi said "They were incorporated into the Klavorian military over time."

Nix stood listening to Cyndi and was a little puzzled....Dunjen seemed to be also "So...if the Old Guard became part of the Military....then why all the accusations and grandstanding by Usher" she stated then had a thought "Maybe he was booted out of the Military for some reason...that would explain his anger."

"I don't know, when I asked my parents they said they've never heard of him. I even spoke to the captain of the guards and the head of our military and both have said the same thing. Now it's possible he fell through the cracks or it's also possible he's not part of that old guard as he like me is far too young to have been part of it," Cyndi commented "We need proof one way or the other so I can give it to Commander Kahn. I pray it's a hoax."

Nix nodded in agreement and continued looking through some of the files but didn't find anything useful. Then she ran across a locked box....so she took out a tool from from her Uniform belt and carefully opened the box...there was a disc inside.

Looking to Cyndi "I found a disc locked in this box" she stated then grabbed the Tricorder that was sitting on the desk and inserted the disc into it. After a few moments a list came up with what looked like names on it, except the language neither she or Dunjen recognized "Cyndi the disc seems to have a list of, I think, names on it but I don't recognize the language....is it old Klavorian by some chance?"

"Let me see it," Cyndi said taking the tri-coder "That's what it is, it's the old language, we don't use it much anymore." tapping a few commands on the tri-coder the list came up in Federation Standard "There, that should make it easier to read. According to what I'm reading this old guard is dead, last mention of it was about forty years ago according my grandpa's files."

"So then that would be before Usher would have been even old enough to join the Old Guard" Nix reasoned then went through more of the disk. After quite some time she found what she was hoping to find....the roster of the Old Republican Guard for the twenty years previous before the guard was disbanded. After reading through the entire roster carefully there was no mention of anyone named Usher "Cyndi, I found the roster for the Guard...and there is no mention of anyone named Usher....clearly he was either lying or delusional."

"That's what I thought too. But we need the proof and as my husband told me I have to remain neutral in this. Is there any mention of Usher's family that could be what he was referring to? The mention of a wife who he told me left him?" Cyndi asked.

"There's no mention of that family that I can see" then Nix thought for a moment "Let me look through some more of these records, maybe there's something in the documents" she replied and kept looking specifically the years prior to what she had already found.

After about an hour of more searching Nix found something...it was a record of those who served in the Guard when it first came into existence. Looking through the names she found what she had been hoping to find. Turning to Cyndi "I think I may have something here....this Journal has a list of all who served in the Guard when it was first formed. There was a Martin Usher who was dishonorably discharged from service for raping a women while on duty....and it does mention that afterwards his Wife left him taking their child with her" she stated "Could Usher be trying to get back at Klavor for what happened then....which would have been his Great Grandfather?"

"That has to be it. Is there any reference to unfair treatment by the royal family?" Cyndi asked "We have to be sure before this is given to Commander Kahn so she can bring it to Admiral Stone. There can be no doubt."

The Lieutenant JG reread through the account concerning Martin Usher carefully before answering "No...there is no mention of any unfair practices by the Royal Family....it seems pretty cut and dried considering Martin's actions....it would have been a proper Military reaction to such a terrible crime against that women" Nix concluded.

"That should be all the proof needed," Cyndi said "Does it name the woman?"

Nix rechecked the journal "No there isn't any mention of who the women was....just that she was a local citizen" she replied.

"Perhaps that's for the best, who ever she is does not need that rehashed again," Cyndi commented "I believe you've found the proof that is needed to get Klavor back into the Federation. I'm going to secure these files in here."

"Glad I could help Cyndi" Nix commented with a smile "I should be getting back to the Ship....there are still some people I need to meet with before I can consider myself cleared for duty."

Cyndi got to her feet, picked up the proof she needed, put the rest of the files in a safe. Turned to face Nix "I should find my husband. Thank you for your hard work. I'll contact Commander Kahn and tell her what we've found." Cyndi led the way from her secret room, closed the wall and released the alarm "Anyone on the ship gives you a hard time tell them to take it up with me."

"I'll certainly remember that "Nix said with a grin "I don't think there'll be any problems that I can't navigate myself." And with that Nix turned and left the house to go back to the Ship.
