Mission: Docked
Location: Starbase 386-B - Promenade
Timeline: Current

Vorn walked, slightly cautiously, towards his new XO, wary of any potential temper that might be left over from his outburst earlier. When he spoke though, it was with a firm, but friendly tone of voice.

"Care to tell me what that was about back there?"

Peter Looked up Communicator in hand and Motioned for Krace to Sit down after Taking an Deep Breath Peter Spoke “He is my Father, Capitan John Brown Of the U.S.S Serria-A, he just returned from the Frontier, to put it Straight we don't Get along ever since the War.”

Said Peter taking an Deep Breath “I was en route the Academy at the Time, One Question what do you know of the Damage of the U.S.S Serria and Killing of most of her Crew at the Start of the War?” Asked Peter Coldly

Vorn shrugged, taking the pre-offered seat. "Not much at all. I wasn't in much of a high position during the war, so I wouldn't have even read about it in a report likely enough. And I spent most of my time out on assignment, so public news was out of the question."

“You see, Most of the War I was an First Year Cadet for an Reason, Well as I said I was En route to get an Transport to Earth for the Academy, the Capitan of the Serria at the Time gave me Bridge Shifts, I was on the Bridge of the Serria at Ops when she was Attacked by an Dreadnought, Being an Nebula Class we didn't last Long, the First Attack Most of the Senior Officers were Killed we had the Xo Will Wallace and Both my Parents, My Mother was the Tactical Officer and My Father was the Chief Engineer, after that Attack the Serria was in pieces we managed to Escape to the Edge of the Devils Nebula to System Gamma-464, and thats were it Happened” Said Peter breathing Heavily as he remembered the Past.

"What happened, Peter?" Vorn asked, trying to sound comforting.

“We, were Boarded the Crew was cut to pieces, the XO was badly Hurt, my Mother Killed, as well as Most of the crew we were Down to an crew of 20, and Stuck behind the Lines Far from Federation Aid, we were Ordered by Admiral Ross to Stay, for the Entire War we spent Sneaking Around Cardassian Space, About 5 Months into the War the XO Died, My father was Made CO, then we started Attacking Convoys, Transports, it was Madness on that Bridge, it was like that until we met up with an Medical Transport, which we Attacked to Gain Supply's, On that Bridge My Father Set out to have me removed from Star fleet Saying that I can't Mentally Take being an Star fleet Officer, to this Day, he try s to ether Force me to Resign or trys to get Command to Remove my Rank, even though I Have Moved Far being the Executive Officer” Said Peter then the Officers that were Around made Space as an Man with Graying hair walked Up. “Who the Hell are You?, and why are you Talking to an Worthless Officer For” Said the Man who Crossed his Arm Peter Jumped up and Looked at the Man. “Captain Vorn Krace Meet Captain John Brown” Said Peter.

Vorn didn't turn as he was spoken down to by Peter's father, but rather became stock still, not moving a muscle. As Peter jumped up and introduced the man, Vorn span around, a figure of rage.

"What are you doing speaking to a senior Starfleet officer in that tone of voice, I should ask you Captain?" he said. He didn't shout, but spoke with a raised and sharpened voice, causing others to turn around and look at what the commotion was all about. Normally, Vorn wouldn't have spoken in such a way to a Captain, even such a disrespectful one, but his extra new pip gave him the confidence and responsibility to do so.

"Officers of Starfleet do not speak to others in contempt. They do not call fellow officer's worthless, and I will not have such a man disrespect my first officer!"

“CAPTIAN, You do not speak in that kind of tone to me, I am an Senior Officer, you you show me with Respect, and Follow Orders and Remove him” Said John Brown “Now, you Hear me know and for the Future, I will Not Resign, I am an Starfleet Officer and the Executive Officer, and you show me Respect or walk Away” Said Peter

Vorn put his hand on Peter's chest, indicating that he would handle this. A Lieutenant Commander was too easy to put in the firing line of a Captain. Vorn, however, had nothing to fear from this man's rank. "Captain, I am not your subordinate. I do not follow your orders, and my XO is staying right where he is - the seat next to me on my ship. Now, if you want me to go into the semantics, I shall. You are a Captain through field promotion. Field promotions may be revoked after the incident has passed, or they may be kept.

"However, an officer of the same rank who has attained their promotion through the traditional means is considered the superior officer to the field promotee. So I would kindly ask you to shut your mouth and walk away before I have you thrown in the brig. Is that understood, Captain?"

He said this in the calmest, but strictest voice he could, which would have impressed even the most skilled marine drill instructors, who are adepts in the field of berating and telling off their recruits.

Vorn could tell that his tactic had worked by the way the man stammered slightly as he next spoke

“Now, you better, Watch your Self Krace he will let your Crew Die, and if you are smart you will Leave, and your not an Officer” Said John as he took an Breath “and You can't Command” Said John as he walked away Peter took an Deep Breath “Sorry, for that I Just Can't Understand Him” Said Peter Straining

"Come on." Vorn said, indicating for Peter to follow him back to the Lincoln. He tapped his combadge as they walked away. =/\=Chief Eagle. How good are you on digging up dirt?=/\= he said, a slight smirk on his face.

"This should be fun" Said Peter Smiling heading back to the Lincoln
