Morgana stormed into the captain's office. "It's gone. I've looked EVERYWHERE and I can't find it. The computer says it went out in a box with Smitty."

Thayne was playing a soft and slow melody on his violin. He was facing the window of his Captain's Office, looking out into space. As Morgana burst in through the sliding doors Kirk, his pet capuchi, began to jump up and down on the desk.

Upon hearing the words "It's gone" it made him stop in mid note. The black and white Capuchi stopped jumping as Thayne slowly lowered his instrument and stood there looking out the window. "What do you mean? It's gone." He said softly as he took in a breath and then brought his hands behind his back. "Would my first mate please explain this to me?"

"THE map." She spoke slowly and distinctive so he wouldn't misunderstand. "That map. The one you took from the archaeologist. Smitty's been gone for three days."

Thayne turned around as he slammed his hand against the console. "Smitty!!" He screamed as the console lit up. He was not happy. "Remind me, Morgana. How long have we been planning this?" He slowly looked up at her as Kirk squeaked as he ran from the desk and up the Captain's arm. The monkey look his place on his shoulders as Thayne slowly straightened himself and looked at her. "Remind me of the pain and the blood we went though to get that map into our hands?!!" He placed the violin onto the desk and let out a growl.

"Six weeks, three days, Captain. I traced the box to an antiques shop on Typhon. He ... volunteered ... the information. With a little persuasion." She chuckled darkly. "He won't remember it. I used the Romulan device," she assured him. "He sold it to a Starfleet Captain. One Samantha York of the USS Calypso."

Thayne grabbed his violin and raised it. "I want that ship... FOUND!" He yelled as he slammed it onto the desk, breaking it into pieces. This wasn't the first time he had done this and at this rate it wouldn't be the last. "I want the Captain... FOUND!" He slammed it again onto the desk as it shattered into more pieces. "I want that Smitty found and brought to me!." Thayne let out a slight growl as he leaned in a bit towards her direction. "I... want... him... brought... to... me. I will deal with him... myself." He slowly straightened back up as he took in a breath.

"Petrov is on Smitty's trail. As for York ... the ship is about to leave. What do you want to do about her and the ship? I can call in a few favors and find out where they're going. Or...?"

"Find their ship!" Thayne said as he walked around his desk to her. Kirk screeched as The Captain moved towards her. "I want us to be at their bow by tomorrow. Keep us under their sensors. Use the same trick we used to stay cloaked for that Antares-class freighter when we pillaged her cargo." He placed his hand on her should and smiled. "Tell the crew I will pay 5 bars of gold pressed latinum for whoever spots her vessel. We will have our treasure, Morgana."

That was just what Morgana hoped he say. She smiled coolly. "Aye, aye, Captain."

She walked out of his office, her smile turning predatory. She enjoyed a good treasure hunt.
