Sienna overheard the order from the captain for their first destination before their primary mission that she still had no clues about.  But at least she now knew at least somewhere they were going, and she could set the destination in the computer.  She began doing the needed search for the location, looking for the beacon as it would be displayed on the system star map on her display.  The station they were heading to was a way point military station between the empire and alliance, basically an alliance border station.<br/><br/>The beacons themselves were devices placed in orbits over planets, or on stations to allow ships to locate them when their locations are different than the database.  Stations did drift every now and then, especially with stations not in a planet's orbit.  They were good targets for planning travel, and also provided near instant communications with stations connected to any of them.  No one had to wait any more than a few minutes to talk with anyone at a different planet thanks to the beacons.<br/><br/>She was working on plotting the course when her console's comm light started blinking.  Sienna didn't even have the chance to press the receive button before the holoscreen lite up with the captain of the other ship in her view.  She was at a loss for words for a good moment, stunned into silence as the CO for the other ship was talking directly to a low ranked navigator.<span style="color: DarkRed"><i>'why the hell is he contacting me... holy shit... holy shit....'</i></span>her mind was stuck on a loop like that as the other captain spoke, making her completely uncomfortable.  Later she would be pissed.  Right now though she didn't want to be disrespectful to a CO.<br/><br/><span style="color: DarkRed">“Yes sir, thank you sir.”</span>she replied shortly, not noticing the change on her display.  Of course, during this conversation Shakti was watching the whole thing.  Using the camera and associated devices to study Captain Kgozi's face and expression, she light up the captain's face as her software and face recognition algorithms.  It was good the holo screens had perfect high res images.  She recognized what the man was doing, and saved that for later.<br/><br/>Shakti also noticed that the other ship was moving on the sensors.  Quickly she made Sienna's console beep once at the moment, before speaking up.<span style="color: DeepSkyBlue">“Sienna, the Ambition is moving.  Engage the engines.”</span>the AI warned.  It snapped Sienna out of her thoughts to look at the screens, and the ships positions.  She quickly moved her hands over the console in front of her.  The Restless's engines fired up as soon as she input the needed velocity and began it's moving on the planned course.  It wasn't much behind the Ambition.<br/><br/><span style="color: DeepSkyBlue">“Sienna, he did that on purpose.”</span>Shakti advised through the headset portion in her ear.  That little bit of news got Sienna's attention, and made her glare at the old man on the holo screen.<span style="color: DarkRed">“That whole congratulations thing was a test wasn't it sir?”</span>she said quietly enough so that Captain McTavish wouldn't hear.<span style="color: DarkRed">“With all due respect sir... you're an ass.”</span>the anger she said it with, and her expression on her freckled face was showing her Irish redhead attitude, and she was direct too, not dancing around the subject, just stating her thoughts strait out.  She almost immediately closed the comm channel on the Captain.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
