[Shuttle Sierra-03]

Trace has barely finished his transmission to the Norris when the hail from a female Cardassian voice came again, “This is the CMS Binpatt Ore to Federation vessel. Identify yourself.”

Trace groaned inwardly. He knew as a Federation Officer that he was supposed to be diplomatic at all times, but he didn’t exactly like the Cardassians. In his dealings with them over the years they tended to toward being intractable bigots, and mostly had gotten in his way. He purposefully modulated his voice.

“This is Shittle Sierra-03 of the Federation Starship USS Chuck Norris. I’m Lieutenant Junior Grade Tracey Walker.”
There was a definite smirk in her voice when she responded, Trace could tell.

=/\= “Interesting, I was under the impression Tracey was a female name in your culture.” =/\=

Trace grimaced. “I go by Trace, if that helps.”

=/\= “And what are you doing all the way out here, Federation shuttle?” =/\=

“I’m afraid that’s classified. But I’d be happy to set up a meeting with my Captain if you’d like. You’re free to ask him.”

=/\= “I see. Very well, I should like to talk to your Captain.” =/\=

Short one, I’m on vacation
