:ON:

     The moment Jazzy had stormed out of the conference room, she almost ran
over a young officer who had been standing just outside.
     "Excuse me Captain Mergahn.  I'm Lt. Evans, quartermaster here.
Admiral Oren requested that I find you temporary quarters."
     Jazzy eyed the Lieutenant for a moment.  "I have no need of quarters.
I don't plan on staying that long.  I will be aboard the Toira."  With that
she headed away from the conference room filled with the arrogant Admiralty.
     "Captain, I have orders that you may not leave the base."  Lt Evans
said, following Jazzy.
     "As do I Lieutenant.  The Toira will not leave without permission."
     "My orders are to assign you temporary quarters Captain."  Evans,
almost having to run to keep up with Jazzy.
      "Then assign them.  I will not use them."
      "Admiral Oren" Evans started to say before he had to quickly stop
walking, as Jazzy had stopped, and turned around facing him, trying to keep
control of her temper.
     "The Admiral will know where to find me Lt.  Unless my ship is being
confiscated from me, that is where I will be.  If you have a problem with
that, go talk to Admiral Oren."  With that she strode off again leaving the
young Lieutenant standing there, unsure of what to do.
     Jazzy finally sat down in one of the chairs in the living compartment
of the Toira after having several more arguments with base officers on where
she should be staying.  Two security officers had tried to bar her way onto
the Toira, stating that she was not permitted to leave the base.  Only have
twenty minutes of arguing did they finally concede to the fact that being on
the Toira did not constitute leaving the base.
     Jazzy tried to open up a communication link with the Athena, only to
find that Communications were being jammed.  "Just great," she muttered in
response.  Who knew when she'd be able to leave the base and return to
things that really mattered.  She decided to open a personal log.
     After the computer beeps chimed that the log was being recorded, Jazzy
started.
     "I am currently on . . . well, I'm not sure where, a base, unknown to
even Starfleet databases, at coordinates, hmm, they probably don't want the
coordinates recorded, I'll just say somewhere in the Rihannsu / Federation
neutral zone.  I am not being allowed to leave the base at this time, and am
unsure when I will get back to the Athena.  Now was a REALLY bad time for
Starfleet to pull me away from the Beta Quadrant.  I was assigned to the
Athena mostly for my diplomacy, and we are in a very touchy negotiations
with the Starzen.  I'm sure that Erei'riov Ronov is more then capable of
running the Athena, but delicate negotiations are not one of his strong
points.  Lt. Svonn should be able to assist in that matter, but I really
should be the one talking with the Starzen.  Ronov has troubles dealing with
the CMO, Noah--"
     Jazzy stopped at the thought of Noah, and suddenly it hit her who that
Rihannsu Enriov in the conference room reminded her of.  Not Noah, even
though there was definitely a family resemblance, but rather his brother,
Commodore Lukas.  She paused the recording and opened up the Starfleet bios,
looking at Lukas' in particular.  After doing some more digging around she
finally found out the name of one of the Enriovs, Rohnok, Lukas' cousin.
Maybe she should try to have a private chat with the Enriov.  Not that he'd
really listen to her, but, at the point it couldn't hurt her situation.
Though, she'd have to make it look like an accidental meeting.
     As she exited the Toira one of the security officers who had tried to
bar her entrance to the ship called out, "Captain, may I ask where you are
going?"
     She stopped and turned around, "First you try to stop me from getting
on, now you want to stop me from leaving?  Well, I'm going to go find Lt.
Evans.  Since it appears I will be here for a while, there are some items I
will need."  With that she turned and headed out of the bay, to explore the
base.  She first needed a private spot where she wouldn't be interupted and
where she would have access to the base computers.  It took her a little
while, and a lot of answering questions, but she finally found a spot.  Now
she just needed to locate Enriov Rohnok.  It wouldn't hurt to locate Lt.
Evans too, as he was a good excuse to give people as to where she was going.
