Anastasia smiled to Jemarr as they were dismissed by Commander Shepard. She returned his smile hand gesture as he headed to the infirmary to see Dr. Chakwas about his foot; she still had some work to do especially since they were headed to the Hydra Maelstrom nebula.<br/><br/>Back at her station she quickly typed a short message on a standalone datapad; she encrypted the data before inserting it into another message which she then uploaded it into the normal comm. server for transmission back to earth. She wiped the information on the little pad and resumed her task at hand as she ran through the required system checks before a mass relay jump.<br/><br/>Navigator Pressly exited the comms room, he seemed to be a bit grouchy not about anything in particular just as his nature. He began requesting the status reports of the ships systems as they prepared to jump through the mass relay.<br/><br/>She could feel the Normandy accelerate as Joker broke orbit heading the ship towards the systems mass relay the ships sleek shape rapidly accelerating away from Eden Prime.<br/><br/>(http://gfx.gaminator.tv/data/characterPicture/784/784.3.jpg)<br/><br/>If the Geth were operating outside of the Perseus Veil they weren’t using a Geth ship Anastasia thought to herself as she began to cross reference any ships reported as over due or missing in the Artemis Tau sector.<br/>Artemis Tau was the only sector that connected to the Hydra Maelstrom relay, so any ship headed there would have to pass through that relay. Which was helpful as it limited the amount of data ship registrations and records that she would have to sort through.<br/><br/>Her fingers danced over the virtual consol as she sorted and filtered the shipping logs for the region.<br/>The search quickly indicated that there were three Human ships missing in the sector and two alien one Salarian and one Batarian.<br/>After a quick check of the relay logs only the Batarian ship had headed through the Artemis Tau relay to the Hydra Maelstrom; 12 hours after it was reported as over due on Alsages in the Sparta System.<br/>She copied the data of her research and the information that was available on the ship, IFF transponder, thermal signature as well as the ships class. The Alliance didn’t have the actual Batarian  name of the ship so it like most unknown ships was classified by the alliances standard schema as a ‘Armed Auxiliary- Batarian’. Most Batarian ships even the civilian ones were comparatively heavily armed and armored not quite a match for a real warship but more than enough to prey on the usually lightly armed merchant ships of the other races. She sent the data packet to Commander Sheppard as well as the rest of the team before she headed back to her quarters.<br/><br/>She had half expected to see Jemarr there when she opened the door to the tiny room.<br/>At least being an officer she had a private room; private closet was probably more accurate or cell; she mused as she sat on the edge of the bed in the 2.5 x 3 meter room.  It was a good thing that she wasn’t that tall as the wall that the bed rested against was sloped inward as it followed the lines of the ships hull giving the room a sort of half 'D' shape. The bed took up most of the space in the small room but it was made to serve as a bed as well as a sofa and had storage compartments beneath it as well. The far end of the room had a small set of shelves. The wall opposite the bed had a storage unit that served as a desk and wardrobe. The terminal in the room was stowed on a swing out arm that rested on the same wall as the bed. The room was predictably bare since she had just been assigned to the Normandy.<br/>Still it looked like her gear had made it aboard with all the commotion on the planet, luckily she traveled light.<br/>Since Jemarr wasn’t here yet he was probably still with Dr. Chakwas, so she probably had time to get a quick shower before he arrived. She stood and began to unpack her kit as the door chimed and opened revealing the Quarian.<br/><br/><br/>
