Duncan smiled when he realized she was at least somewhat coherent. Not just coherent, but pretty sharp too. Had it not been for the tweaks that Oracle had overseen, she would have been right on about it's warp jump rating. She was beautiful and intelligent, but she was also a hot mess, obviously. If only she had not been a redhead. Inwardly he sighed. He had so much fun and so much trouble with redheads. Meanwhile , a slender bespectacled figure wearing goggles over his glasses , and an immaculate white jump suit complete with white latex gloves, walked up the gangway to the Aurora. Maddox paused to greet him Master Oracle, Sir, you were expected, no one has been on since the Captain left Oracle responded curtly yes, yes, tell me something I don't already know The balding man shook his head sadly I don't suppose you have been through the ship with a Detox team or a bio-scan, no don't bother, I already know the answer. Oh well, have the med techs standing by Maddox smirked, as the wiry man popped a novo-antihistamine for alllergiies, a broad spectrum antibiotic, an anti-viral and an anti-toxin pill, and then boarded the Aurora. Once aboard, he nearly tripped flat on his face. He was stunned. None of this stuff went together, it was, to borrow a Duncan quote, like an Edgar special. Mis matched but highly functional. He started caaloging and brought up his sensorscan unit. Extraordinary, he thought. Back in the Med bay, Duncan played it cool . Well yeah , right around there, you have an eye for this do you, this is a scimitar class ship, it's been modified a bit though. Full ablative plating for one thing. Oversized CPU core for calculating jumps, we can go to a short jump nearly instantly , the calcs will be ready before the jump drive has fully spun up, at least. he paused. Now he asked the med techs to leave. It wasnt that he specifically distrusted them, but he simply felt they were a bit loose lipped. As the last one left, he closed the hatch and dogged it, electronically of course. Look we can talk about salvage of your ship, and also finding your father, but we need to be careful and keep things under the vest a lot, or limit the audience. You are right, there are some who would call me a pirate. Others would say more like Robin Hood. The truth is probably somewhere in between. You have been gone for months, where were you? He paused for a moment and leaned in close . I have a friend checking out your ship. I saw the way you had it rigged to run solo which makes sense since I didn't see anyone else on board. . I have dagger class assault scout, I could use setup you have. Leave behind most of the people here on board, go find your father Because whatever it is you are going to say, its likely to mean lot of money to someone or another, and anger to the other. He didn't know about the other stuff, but all that gear loaded on the Kos would make it pretty much untouchable, and wouldn't require a large group of people of dubious loyalty. He wished he could have had time to just jump on the scout to rescue her in the first place, but given how close it had been, he likely would have been greeting a corpse. So tell you what, you help me get some of that tech refitted on the Kos, and I take you to find your dad. Just a few trusted hands. But first, tell me.. where have you been, and what happened to the rest of your crew? And maybe more importantly, are you sure you are ok, breathe deep, ok? he put his large, strong hand on her shoulder and squeezed slightly trying to steady the woman
