Cain cometh

Unknown location
A lone figure stood in the darkness of the room and was slowly going
over the files before him on the table when a door opened someone
entered.
"Ah good you're already here, Cain." The newcomer said.
Cain didn't never look up and merely continued to read.
"Forgetting something!"
A pair of cold eyes looked up from under Cain's peeked cap and look
at the newcomer.
"No." Cain answered.
"I am…"
"Don't care, Tobasis." Cain said. "You are not above me."
"How dare…" Commodore Tobasis started to protest.
Cain fixed Tobasis with the coldest of gazes and he fell silent.
"Tell me something." Cain started. "Does Anders know
about 'Darkover'?"
"No, he doesn't." He answered the black clad security officer.
"Interesting" Cain commented with a smirk.

Several days later
Transport ship
Cain sat in his cabin going over the background files of most of the
Blue Dwarf's Command section and department heads. Ever so often he
would jot down some note or another for future reference.
He turned to another page of his notebook and wrote down.
1. Interview current C.O. one White Wolf and enquire about Darkover.
2. Arrange interviews with department heads.
The security officer tapped his pen against the table.
"Attention all passengers. This is your captain speaking" Came over
the internal come. "We are coming to our destination and should be
meeting with the mining ship Blue Dwarf within the hour. Please
those leaving the ship start making you final arrangement and return
everything you have stolen from the bathrooms. Thank you very much
and have a nice day."
Cain stood up pocking his notebook, dawning his cap and pulling on
his longcoat. He began to tidy away the background files into a case
and then put it with rest of his stuff. Thankfully he only travelled
light.
Normally any post Edward Luther Cain had been arranged with only
lasted a few weeks at the most but this time he had a feeling that
this one was going to last for quite a while, even with the news of
Admiral Buttecus under the charge of speeding and is to be put under
arrest if not already done so.
*********************
The Blue Midget landed with a bit of a thud and Cain disembarked
leaving the fear driven crew to unpack his luggage.
A example of a pea-brained, knuckle-dragging primitive human in a
security uniform was there to met him.
"Take me to the Commanding Officer!" Cain ordered.
"But you are met to register with the Chief of Security first." The
primitive human said.
"The Commanding Officer. NOW!" Cain snapped.
The primitive human gulped and then said. "This way sir."
(WW over to you.)
