Cade meditated in his home. It was a good thing to free the mind of the stresses of life, and the Cadian Warrior had been under more than his share of stress in recent weeks. The decision to take a sabbatical from his chosen profession had not been a light one. Cade was tired of facing death at every turn.
An important piece of business remained. A Federation law required Cade to make his presence known to the senior Starfleet officer in charge. Commodore Rick Hunter was in charge of the colony. Hunter was known as a fair man, which pleased Cade. Asshole Starfleet officers tended to get injured after speaking incorrectly to Cade.
Cade rose to his feet and donned his trousers and shirt. Several pouches adorned the shirt, which were filled with weapons such as knives, poisons, nano-injectors, and other items built by the master warrior.
Cade donned a ceremonial cloak then walked into the sunshine. Seeing that it was a nice day, Cade decided to walk to the Serenity Colony capital complex. Cade had not done a marathon walk in ages, literally.
As he strode through the forest Cade concentrated on his mental image of Commodore Hunter. "I am coming to talk, Commodore," he repeated in his mind over and over like a mantra.
