ON:

Stovvan had been looking over the reports that had filtered through the company since he had returned from his last mission. He had a feeling a new mission would be coming up soon and was sure Sierra would not be happy about that prospect. Ever since the fighting had broken out between Star Fleet and the 6th fleet his life had become far more complicated than he enjoyed.

"No, no, if I am honest with myself my life became far more complicated far earlier. The Assassination of the President, that's what caused a sudden spike in my deployments." he pushed himself up from behind the desk in his home. He looked around him and grinned "My home, even though the Company paid for it, furnished it, and provided security for it, it is still MY home. Well our home." the amended as he patted the door frame he was moving through. He knew the reason the Company was so generous is because he had to have a secure place to review his mission reports and as he was not officially part of Star Fleet, he never finished the Academy because the Company had yanked him.

"Plausible deniability." he repeated the words that the Admiral had said to him all those years ago.

"Tempest." he said again recalling the first time he had heard his code name. He rolled his shoulders as he moved through the house to the kitchen. He pulled some fruit from the bowl that was prominent on the table and popped a grape into his mouth and enjoyed the sweet juices.

It was then that the door chimed and he called out absently "Come." the chime was one that only sounded when a member of the Company came to the door, letting him know that should he have sensitive data out he wouldn't have to scramble to hide it. A tall man going grey at the temples entered, his uniform marked him as an Admiral in Star Fleet. Stovvan knew who was coming to see him by the unique mixture of scents that preceded him. Old Spice after shave mixed with the subtle hint of a teenage girls perfume. It was Admiral Nathan West. He turned and nodded to the Admiral.

"Where?" was the only word he had to ask.

Nathan smirked "Couldn't be a social call?"

Stovvan shook his head "No sir, at this hour with you in full uniform you have a mission for me."

"How very logical, your to shadow the Redemption and wait to be called in. Snatch and grab."

"And you will protect the children?" Sierra asked quietly as she slipped into the chair beside her mate.

Stovvan smirked to himself, "What the maestro meant to say was, can I get you anything Admiral?" He pushed himself up and made to walk to the replicators.

"Water pleases iced." Nathan replied then looked to Sierra. "Of course the children will be protected. As they always are when he's gone."

"As if you didn't ask when the princess was a child" came her mutter, just loud enough to hear.

He tilted his head and raised an eyebrow and blinked "Your planning on going with him? It's a simple stalk and grab."

"Simple tends not to be simple these days. The last time he went out on a simple mission he came back half insane, and we ended up with the 'twins' so, I'm a little paranoid as you humans would say."

Nathan snorted "Very well, paranoia is allowed especially in our line of work, I suppose this means that you will be able to start the extraction process as soon as he has been picked up." Nathan paused then continued "I expect you to be en route no later than 1300 today. Get your gear and get wheels up, I'll have the Redemption's flight path sent to the ships on board computers."

"Thank you sir." she whispered, gratitude evident in her dark eyes as she looked at him. He looked like he hadn't slept in a week, she was going to have to have words with Angel about that, they couldn't have the Master collapsing.

He nodded "Your quite welcome. Now grab your bags and get off planet yesterday." he grinned "We'll see you when you get back."
