The Bajoran swung his head around at the words, and stared at someone he was certainly familiar with.  Commander... no, not Commander.  Captain.  Captain Kyle Briggs.  Someone who he thought transferred out.  When did he come back?

"Captain Briggs?" he responded, trying to get up but once again realizing he was restrained.  And to be frank, not that comfortably.

Before he could answer, a member of security also walked in and took a position to watch the two.  The reason was obvious.

"Congratulations on your promotion.  What... what is going on?  Where's McConnell.. and where is Hrafn?  Or rather.. where am I?"

[Sickbay - Starbase Columbus]

Barely a week ago, he was found.  Floating in a disabled shuttlecraft. Life support was less than a hour from failing.  The missing stolen shuttle and the missing former Chief Science Officer.  What was already suspicious turned downright alarming as a single damage data log was recovered, with a personal entry from the occupant.  All but confessing to acting as an agent to a terrorist group and finally trying to destroy all evidence along with his life.

With such recovered data, the Bajoran had been brought to the Starbase, and was left in his comatose state restrained.  Doctors were unsure if he would recover after a self inflicted phaser blast, and exposure from failed protective systems.  But a week later.. today, the body finally stirred, and his vitals began to normalize to be alert.

Nevir slowly woke up, unsure of what happened, and only saw the inside of a sickbay.  He tried to get up, but the restraints held him to the bed.  Restraints?  Why was he locked in?  He looked around, but there wasn't anyone else in here.

"Hello?  Hrafn?  Anyone?"

I can agree to that.  Hrafn and I came up with a creative reason to explain what she saw versus what I saw, and ended up with my stranded in space with a disabled shuttlepod.  For now I want to keep what happened a mystery, so just assuming that I was recently found and brought back would be good.

Character Bio:
Nevir was born in the Kendra Province on Bajor towards the end of the Occupation, within a small camp near the Kendra Valley.  His parents, both members of the Resistance by that point in time, tried to keep their new child relatively safe and hidden within the camp.  That changed in 2357 when his camp was subject to an 'accident' that caused an explosion and resulting fire to burn down the camp.  His father was killed trying to save his small family, and to add insult to injury, he was arrested and later convicted as one of the perpetrators of sabotage in the camp.

The surviving family and the survivors of the camp found their way into the next local resistance cell, pledging themselves to the defeat of the Cardassians with renewed vigor.  Nevir was lucky enough that he was never old enough to fight alongside the more dangerous fighters, as by the time he was 7, the Occupation had ended, and the Cardassians retreated.  His emotions on the Federation was mixed.  His mother was resistant to the idea of bringing in another group from the galaxy, but at the same time, Nevir watched with curiosity as the Federation started helping the planet rebuild.

Once he turned 10, his world was put in a state of constant flux as the events aboard DS9 and then the appearance of the Dominion caused the powers to shift constantly.  At the war's end, 2375, Nevir was more than thoroughly convinced that of all the powers, the Federation was the most benign, and even dragged his mother to the official signing of Bajor to the Federation.

After spending time watching the Federation scientists, when he turned 15 he decided that he wanted to be in blue, and applied himself to get accepted into the Academy at Starfleet.  He graduated as a science officer with specializations in planetary constructions and systems, astrometrics, and a minor in engineering and warp theory.  He was then immediately assigned to Shadowfleet as a science officer, where his missions tended to be.. dangerous.

But on the other front, Nevir met someone who changed his life.. a Trill named Hrafn Falleq.  The two worked together as self-named "Dream Team" to the joy of their superior officers, until inevitably they had to make a choice between career and love.  At first it was career, and Nevir left the ship they were stationed on to become Chief Science Officer, and rose to the rank of Lieutenant.  Then, Hrafn decided to resign her post to move to his ship under them, and together they had two children.

Here is where it gets murky for Nevir.  His last memories were on the Challenger, and being approached by one of his superior officers.  Next thing he knew... he wasn't there anymore. (to be filled later)

Sample post:

"Shuttlepod to Bridge, I've entered the expanse, starting a sensor sweep"=/\= Nevir said, as he tapped on the controls.  He turned to the only person with him, a Federation officer he knew.. he trusted.  Someone who asked for him specifically.  He was still confused at the reasoning behind this temporary assignment, but he was promised it was quick, just an experiment that they needed his expertise for.

"Hopefully we can get in and out.. Hrafn will kill me if she finds out I went alone in a shuttlepod.  And that's on top of the fact that another ship took me." he said, shaking his head.  The person next to him shook her head.

"Trust me, you have nothing to worry about.  Just get the data."

Nevir sighed and nodded.  It took a few hours, but without warning his sensors went off.  "Wait.. I think we found it.  Bearing 208 mark 16.  Its spreading... why would it be..?"

The shuttle flew towards a planet.. or what was a planet, and was now a drifting debris field.  In the center was a large core of what appeared to be dilithlium.  Nevir stared in amazement at the spreading molten and solidifying rocks, and started to find out a cause.

"This is unbelievable!  Its like the core grew out of the planet itself.  That's gotta be enough dilithium to power a small fleet.  I don't see any natural cause... wait... I'm getting an ion trail that stops near the planet's location.  And then vanishes.  This may be something bigger than we thought.  I'm hailing the ship." he said, activating the comm.

"You have no idea, Nevir." the officer responded.  Causing him to freeze.  Only certainly people were allowed to use his given name.  The shuttle responded that communications were not responded.. too much interference.

"I can't get a hold of the ship.  There might be some interference.  I think we need to turn back to the Challen-"

"That's not gonna be possible."

"I'm sure Hrafn will be able to-"

"Don't count on it."

Nevir turned.  "What?"

"She's not gonna find us.  And I doubt she'll even look.  I made sure of that." she said, getting out of her chair and pulling out a phaser.  Nevir stood speechless.  Before he could speak, though, she fired at him, causing him to slump down.  The woman tapped her commbadge and reported that it was done, before asking the computer to run a program called "Tekin-One" and beaming out.

The shuttle's systems overloaded, including the computer core, leaving just the shuttle's life support systems online, but failing.  And so the shuttle drifted, closer to the planet, and whatever caused the planet to break.

Additional information:  I don't have to be brought back in immediately, working with Hrafn on how to reintroduce Nevir since her bio has... questionable... things about Nevir.

How did you find Shadow Fleet?  Always been here.
