Vlimar had a good day. Spending most of his day on the beach, getting somewhat of a tan on, while reading some more chapters of the Art of War, a book Vlimar had read and reread multiple time over. He often opened it and read chapters relating to his current situation. At that time, Vlimar was reading Chapter VI - Vacuity and Substance.

Vlimar entered his room exhausted from the sun. With the definite idea of taking an afternoon nap, he removed his shirt, kicked off his sandals and removed his wet swimming gear, immediately falling onto his bed, not even making the effort to centre himself into the king size bed. As his mind began to wander, his typical snore began to be heard, his combadge, laying somewhere on the floor began to page him.

His face buried in his pillow, his butt cheek facing up, he began to pat around him, looking for the distraction. His movements became more rapid, more aggressive, until he came to the realization that the badge was, in fact, not on his bed. He raised his head from the pillow and looked around, in the darkness. "Merde.", he said, raising his upper body to look for the light. "Merde!", he shouted, finally finding the metal cord attached to the lamp next to his bed, pulling it down hard, dislodging the lamp from its desk.

Vlimar shook his head, rolled off the bed and looked around him, naked, for the combadge. Noticing a shiny piece of metal under the bed, Vlimar extended his leg and pressed on it.

"PontBrillant here."

It was the XO. A long conversation ensued about the need to return to the ship and cut the shore leave short. Following receiving his instructions, Vlimar nodded.

"Understood, PontBrillant out.", he stated, finishing the conversation, while tapping on the combadge with his feet again.

Vlimar immediately grabbed his shorts and shirt and put them on, grabbing his duffle bag and exited the room, in a hurry. As he exited the room, he walked in a fast pace, heading to the transporter pads, at the front of the lobby of the resort.

As he reached the padd, in a hurry, he instructed the Klingon transporter operator to beam him up to the Vindicator immediately, which was done swiftly.

Upon his arrival on the ship, Vlimar threw the dufflebag to PO Smyth.

"Bring that to my quarters.", he stated, as he exited the room, heading to the turbo lift.

As seconds passed, Vlimar, in a hurry, headed to the bridge, where the main OPS console was located, the one that was already logged in and tracking the members of the ship on shore leave.

As he reached the bridge, Vlimar was contrasting with the Beta shift members already staffing it, wearing his still wet bathing suit and his white buttoned up shirt, with his sunglasses laying on top of his head. He approached the OPS console, which was immediately dismissed by LtJG Dancause, a fellow frenchman, and Vlimar put his authorization codes on, obtaining access to the entire crew's communicator.

"Attention crew of the Vindicator. As per orders of Captain Ivanova, you are called back from leave and are requested to report to your respective Departments prior to 1500 hrs. PontBrillant out.", he stated, on the communication system. As he ended his message, Vlimar checked the status of the communication. Within half a second, a confirmation came in that the message was delivered to all communicator successfully, Vlimar nodded back at Dancause who came back to the console, and Vlimar headed out of the bridge towards his quarters.
