Before the crescent encounter.

Xalanth was dead on his feet as he fell back onto the bed. After his away missions, his shift and having to clean and put away his gear he just wanted to close his eyes and fall asleep. His mate with her seemingly unlimited energy had washed changed and gone to use the holodeck. She asked if he wanted to join her, but right now he just needed sleep.

Besides given his forced celibacy, the collective of dark had forced on him he was finding it hard to relax near his wife. Trust his heat cycle to be hitting now off all places.

His yellow eyes closed as he slowly fell into a shallow haunted sleep.

The beeping from the computer made him sit up. His groggy eyes noticed it was still late. He'd barely been asleep for an hour.

Pulling himself out of his bed and onto the stool in front of his computer the lizard finally noticed why it was bleeping. An incoming call from the Starfleet admiral in charge of this sector? Why would he be calling?

One of his claws hit the receive button as he collapsed into the chair. " Lieutenant Xalanth I'm glad I'm finally able to reach you."

" What can I do for you, sir?" The tired lizard asked.

" Well as you know your people have started a colony on Pi Librae III. As a sign of good faith, they have invited the local federation ships and personnel for the end of cycle festival."

The admiral words shocked the lizard. It felt like a lifetime since he'd been to a cycle festival. Hell, he'd technically died twice since then and now had two kids.

" I'm asking if you can make a guide for all the federation personnel who will be attending. The last thing we need is a diplomatic incident with your people. "

"Of course sir. I'll get onto it as soon as i can." Xalanth responded a grin moving over his face.

" Very good. Oh before i leave your grandmother asked that you be fire for the opening. She said you'd know what it means. " The admiral said before he closed the channel.

Xalanath sat there feeling rather shocked. How was he goign to explain this to T'para. If he was fire she was going to have to be night.
