When the ETA became Rhi siure-a ( 5 minutes ) his console beeped at him, letting him know that the Dhivael had entered the 50,000 klik range of the Training grounds, he tapped a key to initaite the zig-zag course that the Riov had instructed him to do, adding a few more zigs in from time to time, he then reported
"50,000 Kliks and closing to the training grounds, Rekkai"

At the joint testing facility that was entered into when the alliance fleet was formed. They were discussing the improved testing since the admission of the alliance division. With that came an influx of ideas and methods that were unknown.
Two Admirals walked into the meeting room and sat facing each other, one representing Star Fleet and the other the RSE. Admiral James Newsome and Enriov Aehkhifv Selot. Both well respected, and having earned numerous medals.
Admiral I am honored to finally met you. I have heard a lot about you and look forward to working with you.
Enriov, meeting like this and working together without war is truly an event I never thought I would live to see. But I am certainly glad its finally here.
Agreed. On this pad you will find the areas I emphasize during, as you call it, a shakedown.
And this is mine.
Both studied the padds for 15 minutes while enjoying coffee. Then both men began to devise a test course, each knew they would have to make revisions. They broke for lunch and then worked the afternoon. Finally, just before 1400 hours they exchanged padds. The room remained in silence as both worked tirelessly.
At 1900 hours an aid came in with dinner. Both men discussed various points of the test and then went back to work. Finally at 2300 hours they stopped and went to retire for the day.
Enriov Selot handed a padd to an aid. Send this communications to the RSE Dhivael, for Lieh Cretak only.
Yes, be sure there is both Terran and Rihannsu coffee. Good night Enriov sleep well.
You too Bedah.

Going over the final reports from all his duty officers he turns as the communications officer says,
" Riov, we have just received a communications from an Enriov Selot from the training facilities. Riov-a caernu-a dvaer (Commanders eyes only)."
"Ie, I will take it it in my nniehv rhe. Erie'Arrain Sahen (helm) take charge of the oira and slow us to 1/4 impulse. Keep cloak engaged and may the Elements preserve you if anything surprises us."
Looking around at the rest of the crew.
"Enriov Selot is like a heith (cat like creature). He hunts silently and pounces on his prey quickly. I was fortunate to be able to study amnhhei (tactics) with him at the War College and I assure you all that this will not be an easy test. I want all stations at full alert immediately. "
He strides off into his ready room.
Sitting there he opens a secure channel and reads the orders. A slight frown and a raised eyebrow are the only movements.

He tapped the keys of his console, slowing the Dhivael to 1/4 impulse, as instructed, then heard the report that a message came in for the Rekkai's eyes only.
Erie'Arrain Sahen (helm) take charge of the oira and slow us to 1/4 impulse. Keep cloak engaged and may the Elements preserve you if anything surprises us."
"Le, Rekkai. Cloak will remain engaged and nothing shall get past my watchful eye and surprise us."
As the Riov entered his office, He turned to Veralen, saying "Let me know the moment anything should come on sensors and watch it to see if it comes this direction"

Once the communique came in, she saw a subtle change in the Riov, a heightened awareness. His remarks on the way Enriov Selot, devised the testing caused her to renew her efforts. She heard of officers using a similar method and if the crew was not alert they paid the price in defeat. The Dhiveal would not be caught unawares.
"le, I have scanners operating, cloak is operating at full efficiency. The moment anything shows I will inform you"
That nagging feeling returned and she pushed it the side, admonishing herself for such foolishness.

Admiral Newsome woke up early and got ready for the meeting. He got a strong cup of coffee and drink it while getting ready. He did some research on the Enriov Selot, after finishing it he was impressed with his record. Then he reviewed Cretak's service and academy records. He noted that Cretak studied under him.
As he reviewed the records he of Cretak he looked for his areas of weakness. Everyone had them, some more noticeable then others but they would be there. He made a few notations and then saw it was time to leave for the joint planning session. Picking up his pad he left his quarters.
After leaving the building he was in, he briskly walked the short distance. He was saluted by a Romulan, he smiled to himself, having decided to attempt a proper Romulan salute. He was slightly awkward but knew he succeeded when the Romulan officer nodded, then had a pencil thin smile.
He entered the building and went directly to the meeting room as he walked in Enriov Selot stood and nodded at him.
"Jolan'tru. I trust you slept well."
"Good morning and yes I did. I did some research on Cretak, his crew and ship. I believed I discovered some weaknesses I intend to use. Also Cretak studied under you. Should make things interesting."
"le, he did. Which only means I will have to be slightly harder on him then the others who pass our way."
Newsome nodded then sat down.
"Would you care for some hholaer (Romulan coffee, having three times the stimulant of espresso) with nnhk" (pastry. Often served at first meal).
"Yes I would, thank you."
For the next 30 mins the two talked for the first time, in several months beyond the needs of the job. Both entered this not believing or desiring a friendship with the other. But as fate would have it, it was happening anyways. It was then he decided to talk to him on a more personal level for a few minutes he needed to make a decision.
"Enriov, do you have your family here? I've been considering have my wife and teenage sons joining me. And if you do would you consider it a positive experience for all?"
"le, they are here and it has been positive. If you send for them perhaps your sons and mine will become friends"
Newsome nods. "That is the reason I have considered sending for them. This is the best time for them to learn what we never had the chance to at their age. Well, now back to work, and thank you for your input."
Both men exchanged padds, and began the same procedure as they developed a few months ago.
"James"
Newsome looked up from the map of the testing grounds.
"Yes"
"Here, this part of your test course is out of the norm, but I like it. We should consider adapting it. And I believe I know how it can be done, taking into consideration Cretak's training."
With that decided they broke for lunch. Returning they went back to work hardly speaking to each other by 2000 hours they broke for the day.
Newsome carried a Padd with him and handed it to the aid. "Have this transmitted to the Dhivael"
"Normal channels sir."
Newsome nodded and then went to his quarters to arrange for his family to join him.
____________________________________________________
The Federation aid entered the communications room and gave them the padd.
"Admiral Newsome and Enriov Selot need this to be transmitted to the Dhivael. Use normal channels"
"le, it will be done. When do they want it sent?"
"Send it now. Thank you."
"RSE Dhiveal this is the new testing area you are to report to. You are to continue to the Glintara Sector (sector 031). This testing facility is located near Belak. The exact coordinates will be sent to your helm officer. You are further ordered to use a normal flight path. It will take you 3 days at normal cruising speed. We will be watching for your arrival. Belak testing Facility out."

The feeling on the oira and from Riov Cretak was electric. Though they were not going into battle, the energy was the same and simply standing at her station, monitoring rather than actively participating, was an exercise in discipline.
She reviewed postings, orders and reports again, not because she needed to but because it helped to keep her focused. Knowing the test was coming but not knowing how or when was worse than knowing nothing.

As he reads the orders on his screen he starts to make notes on his PADD. Moving his fingers across the board he pulls up the name of the lloann'mhramel officer in charge. Admiral James Newsom. Tapping his communicator he says,
"Daise'Dheno report immediately to my ready room."

Startled slightly from her concentrations by the comm, she acknowledged the Lieh's order and presented herself outside the ready room door. The doors slid open and she entered, coming to attention and saluting.

He salutes back and says,
"Stand at rest. I have yet to tell the crew the particulars of our our destination and mission. As you know we have one Rihannsu Enriov guiding the test. His counterpart is a lloann'mhramel Admiral James Newsome. I want you to research this officer and find all his weaknesses, strengths, loves, hates... anything we can use to develop a physiological profile. I want you to do the same With Enriov Selot and I want the information on my desk by 1600 hours tomorrow. Any questions?"

Her response was immediate and her eyes brightened with the assignment.

"Very well, Daise. You are dismissed." As she leaves he taps his communicator again and says, "Science officer, report to my ready room now."
As he waits for her to respond he calls the flight control. "Have the fighters stand by to train, we have 72 hours to form a corp attack group. Clear all activities with operations."
By the Elements, they would all be ready...........

Hearing the commanders orders over the load speaker makes his Andorian blood start to boil. The taste for battle and the warrior sense of duty and honor come to the surface. He looks around and finds a Scorpion that is unattended. Commander Cretak did tell him to work with security and the fighters.........
He jumps into the cockpit of the Scorpion, antenna waiving fiercely back and forth. Examining the controls in front of him he starts to perform routine power up procedures. Sensors .... check ..... inertial dampeners .... check ...... impulse power ........... warp reactor ........ check............................

Hearing the Leih's orders H'daen activates his Com "ie, Sir" he says he then puts the fighter bay on yellow alert, which recalls all pilots and none can leave
He sees Thalev get into a fighter H'daen activates his com again "Operations Shadow Demons ready to launch" He says as the pilots take to their fighters, he activates his track so operations can track them, the other fighters go hot
He the switches to fighter com "Reaper shadow demons sound off" her orders 1 by 1 they sound off until Thalev fighter is reached
"Vah are we going to call you Thalev" he says with a pause " I got it Blue Boy" he says looking over at Thalev and smiles at him "Alright team his handle is Ice, Sound off Ice" he says

S.Gale's senses were going rampant. Everyone was soooo tense and excited. It felt to her that they were going for the Intergalactic Pareesee Squares Cup. She did a basic grounding, centering and shielding and feeling much calmer, went to prepare the emergency teams on their proceedures - just in case.
