Angel of the House

[Angel Ryder]

"Maybe your counterpart is too dark for her." Angel theorized. "Or Trinity is more like me and her natural lightness and optimism and perkiness won her over. Whatever it is, we'll take it. At least they're on Ferenginar that's a place we know and I've got people there." she said as she tapped a few things onto a padd she pulled out of a bag next to the table. "Sending a message to him, if he's got four or so hours to prepare, he can shadow them. I trust him. We... " she blushed. "He's the one I lost my virginity to. The infamous 'Meat'. He took over the unit and then he got sidelined during the Imperium War, decided to base himself out there. Private security contracts, Ferengi businessmen are crap fighters and they know it."

[Rebecca Talon]

"You obviously never met Eliminator Leck," Rebecca commented, "but, I conceed your point."

[Angel Ryder]

"I've heard of him... always an exception to any rule." Angel said with a smirk. "I nearly broke one's wrist giving him a high five..."

[Rebecca Talon]

"Why fight when you can always hire a Nausican."

[Angel Ryder]

"Yep." Angel chuckled and nodded her head as she actually got through to 'Meat's communicator.

"Ryder? Holy crap?" He said with a laugh. "How long's it been?"

"Oh... too long Dylan, listen... my daughter..." Angel started to say.

"Daughter? Seriously?" he said with a shocked tone.

"Seriously and it's complicated and no she's not your's, remember that safe house on Ferenginar that Section 31 set up, the one that I kept off books?" Angel said as she pointed to a spot on a holographic map. "She's staying there with a friend of her's, and yes they're both adults. My daughter Trinity is from the future at least this version of her is, but she's being hunted by the Ajem. Might need an assist in getting off Ferenginar and back to Alliance space."

"And you came to me. I'm touched Angel." Dylan said and chuckled lightly. "Yeah I'll help you out. So... Ajem, haven't really seen many of them here but if you say they're around, then I'll probably need to break out the old gear for that one. Cloak suit, armor, sniper rifle with transporter bullets." he tapped his chin. "This daughter of your's... I trust she can fight?"

"She's a Marine Colonel, her husband is a General. And she's a Ryder, of course she can fight... she... may have some training in fighting like an Ajem too." Angel bit her lower lip. "Listen, the Ajem have killed a lot of good men and women here, that's why she's in the situation she's in now, she was captured and just recently escaped."

"Never a dull moment. So, you want me to meet up with them or stick to the shadows?"

"Dark S5 maneuver." Angel replied.

"Gotcha. Although before they leave I'll at least reveal myself once they're in a shuttle. Just so they don't think people start dyin' for no reason around them." He said with a smirk. "It'll cost you though. I need a new contract and the Ferengi are getting too greedy. Besides, that planet of women you're on is getting way more appealing."

"You save my daughter you can name your price." Angel gave Becca a thumb's up.

"Always did like working with you... too bad we couldn't make it work." Dylan said softly. "Biggest regret of my life."

"We didn't work Dylan... not long term. You'd get a call to action and you'd leave me for weeks, months even." Angel whispered. "And you broke it off not me."

"Right right..." He sighed and nodded his head. "Good thing we're still friends. Alright so... what's my timeline?"

"I think you have at least a couple hours before they need you so that's how long you got to prep, but watch them like a hawk. " Angel gave him a stern look. "I'm trying not to be a hover shuttle parent, but they're also caring for 2 Narlin infants... makes me wonder if they're related to the former leader of the Narlin government."

"Gotcha... so it's not just your kid and her friend, but also two infants... " he made a couple notes. "I got it from here. Just leave it to me, I'll contact you when they're on their way off world. I'll probably follow behind or I'll stow away. Anything else? he glanced over her shoulder. "Holy shi... is that Admiral Sandoval? I thought she died? You didn't tell me an Admiral was on the line with us?"

"Two of them... I'm a Vice Admiral now." Angel said with a grin.

"Ma'am... ma'ams... I promise I will get them home safely." Dylan straightened up and saluted.

"See why I dated him?" Angel whispered over her shoulder.

[Rebecca Talon]

"I'm not an Admiral... at least not anymore."

[Angel Ryder]

"Always an Admiral ma'am." Dylan said with a nod of his head. "I'll bring your people back. Huh... Angelica Ryder, Vice Admiral and married with a kid that's also married to a General. Overachiever."

"That's me." Angel chuckled. "Thank you... I mean it. Oh and Meat... don't tell Trinity that I sent you. Just in the area..."

"Saw the fightin' and had to help. I gotcha. Got a visual of these two so I know who I'm looking for... obviously they're Terran." Dylan said and chuckled. "Shouldn't be too hard."

Angel sent Trinity and Kat Donovan's files to him immediately. "Now this Kat Donovan is a... different Kat Donovan, same... ish woman. Just not from this reality."

"Traveler. Great... alrighty... she's cute. Angry Scotswoman. Ol' Commander MacMillan would have loved to have met her. Speaking of... how's your Aunt?"

"A Jase'dasis and still single... Mac still bouncing around?" She inquired.

"Nah, he retired. Got hitched to some chick he knocked up, they're on Bajor of all places now. Whole unit's pretty much scattered." Dylan replied and sent over a file. "Here, in case you need it, the other operatives from the 41st."

"Thanks. Bring them home and Nathan and I will take you to my dad's new Blues and Rock Club. You can flirt with the waitstaff." Angel teased.

"Holdin' you to that. I'll keep you looped in. Oh and Sandoval... nice to see you among the living again, damn shame when we heard you were taken down." Dylan said with a salute. "Meat out."

"Well I'm feeling... reasonably better now. Meat was one of the best extraction men we had on the old Mata Hari when I was serving under Larkin and Aurore." Angel explained and sipped her tea and sighed. "I just hope I didn't sign his death warrant. But he was part of an elite squad, they faced a lot of nasty customers and always came out of it mostly unscathed."

[Rebecca Talon]

Rebecca shrugged, "You may have, but what choice do you have?"

[Angel Ryder]

"Yeah, still wouldn't feel good if he didn't make it out of this." Angel said and poured herself another mug of tea. "So... since this is motion, there isn't a whole lot we can do but just... wait. So... if I give Tomarah my leave notice... think she'd be pissed?"

[Rebecca Talon]

Rebecca shrugged, "I couldn't say. I always worked with her as an equal, but she's fair. I think you'd be fine as long as you explained the situation. Just make sure your duties are covered."
