Timeline: MD 02 Morning
Deep Space 5 what he hoped to have it as his new home. The commodore was rather insistent that Raiden was escortd to the shuttle.And making certain that his daughter didn't get anywhere near the pilot that caught her fancy. Raiden could only shake his head at the lengths that the commodore took to ensure there would be no contact.
He pitied Clara, and he even more pitied the father. If he had mentioned something of his own thoughts Raiden figured that he'd be sent to a dark hole in space not to be seen for a long time. Clara was a headstrong woman, and rather independant. Father was trying to control his daughter for fear of losing someone he loved. Clara's mother was dead.
Raiden found this out after the whole unfortunate meeting of the father. He looked the man up and got some information.
The father may have thought he was punishing Raiden, buut instead Commodor Randal Bower was doing him a favor. Raiden wanted to be far away from that family mess. Those two needed to work things out. And others needed to just stay out of that family drama. Raiden had already taken care of his own with his father and brother, he wasn't about to get mixed up in another.
He had already spoken to his father as to what happened, hoping that he'd not disown him. His father was surprisingly understanding, which Raiden was rather relieved. His father actually chuckled at the situation, and then told Raiden to maybe not be so drunk and pay more attention. Raiden could only nod in agreement.
However, Raiden hoped that didn't happen again.
The commodore did compliment him before he sent Raiden on his way. He was grateful to know that Raiden was someone who was protective over who he was with and didn't allow abuse to happen. Still though he didn't want Raiden anywhere near Clara.
Raiden just laughed, it was a really strange situation. He closed his eyes as the transport he was being shuttled in made its way to Deep Space 5.
Raiden had drifted off to sleep in the quarters he was given, as it was a bit of a trip. his sleep was fitful, as the dream that haunted him came back. It was one of getting into battle with someone in his mind and thnking that he had killed her, and yet finding that he hadn't. When he got to Deep Space 5 he was going to have to seek out a counselor. Hopefully they can offer a solution as to getting rid of the dream. Or how to combat it better. The very fact that he had experienced someone invading his mind, still bothered him.
Raiden sat down on the floor of his quarters to begin his meditation to make his mind blank enough for him to sleep.
A few hours later, there was a notification as to the transport arriving at Deep Space 5.
Raiden stretched, giving a bit of a yawn, he had managed to quiet the mind enough for him to sleep. At least he won't be looking too tired when he stepped foot upon what would be his new home. Deep Space 5. now to meet the one who wias the CAG and also go find a Counselor. He was going to be needing one.
The transport connected to the docking area, to allow passengers to step onto the station, then it pulled away.
Raiden had been imprssed with the size of this station, Who knew who he would be meeting and hoped that he will be able to make connections with others.
A kid on a scooter stopped to give people a message from the CO of the station. Replicators were offline, and Commnication wasn't working. They could use the PADD's to send messages but the combadges weren't gong to work. Raiden raised an eyebrow at this. What did he just step into?
There seemed to be an influx of animals. And a lot of them were covered in purple pink glitter?
"Cover your mouth and nose!" someone shouted.
Raiden wondered just why but since someone had called out a warning he pulled out a red silk kerchief to put over his mouth and nose, to provide a quick filter mask for himself.
When he stepped out into the promenade he had to dodge a small herd of small goats that were being chased by a mixture of security and civilians to round the goats whose hide was covered with purplish and pink glitter.
"Get them!" the goats bleating almost as if they were laughing at being chased.
Okay he needed to report into the CAG then he can join in with the mad dash of capturing farm animals??
Level 62 that was what was mentioned where the CAG was, he hoped that the CAG was in, or rather he would be sent in the right direction.
