Mission: Shoreleave - Welcoming Old Friends and New
Location: Paris - Earth

The sun was beginning to shine through the open French windows and the breeze was ruffling the white window nets that were parted allowing the view of Paris. The old part of Paris was a magnificent view showing the white doves that were taking flight below the Eiffel tower in the distance, and the smell of newly baked bread was drifting up wards from one of the only remaining bakeries in France that still make real bread.

The scent was evoking a response from Yvette as she shifted in her bed, pulling the bed sheets further around herself, not wanting the day to start. It had been the best nights sleep she had had for longer than she can remember, and it was just by chance that her brother Renee was home from his assignment with the President within Romulans Space. It had been an official visit and he had been hand picked to act as one of the many security guards to journey with Jaresh Inyo.

It had been a welcome turn of events with the Romulans since the Shinzon incident and now Diplomatic affairs were now improving with the Romulans.
Yvette had returned from her last assignment and as soon as she had hit Earth Orbit the Diplomatic Corp had contacted her with a new assignment. The USS Archimedes would soon be arriving in Earth Flight Space with an opening for a Chief Diplomatic Officer. She had been in no place to turn down the promotion.

Slowly she stretched, starting at her feet and allowing the motion to travel up her body until her fingers splayed, being warmed by the heat of the sun that was beating in through the open window.
'Is it morning already', the thought traveled through her mind lazily.

Gently a knock came at her door and a soft voice spoke out. "Are you awake yet?", the voice belonged to her brother.
"No", she shouted back.
"OK, breakfast is ready when you are"And don't forget, Starfleet are coming to meet you today".
"I know... I won't be long. Thank you Écouter".

She pulled back the sheets, revealing her naked form and slowly she padded across the room to the wash room that joined her bed chamber.
She rubbed her eyes, pulling herself to full wakefulness and noticed how unkempt her hair actually was. "Looks like I have some work to do!"
