Posted by Lieutenant Junior Grade Joseph Rainns (Chief of Security) in Main Sim- COS Office
Joseph walked into his office a little before Holmman and Hilo. He went over to the replicator and ordered a glass of water. This was not going to be fun, but it needed to be done. Sitting behind his desk, he picked up his clipboard and pen. Unlike most times though, this would not serve as an evaluation, but rather and interrogation. Joseph would not call it that out loud, but in his head, that was precisely what he was doing. He looked at the photo of Dr. Fayth that was sitting on his desk, he could really use a empathic person right now. He grimaced, dreading the looming conversation, but, it had to be done. And despite his feelings on the subject, Joseph felt he was the man to do it. He spent the next few moments waiting for Holmman and Hilo to arrive.

Counselor Hilo walked into Lieutenant Rainns’ office while frowning down at a PADD in his hand. Without so much as looking up, he found a chair to sit in on autopilot, settling stiffly and crossing one leg over the other. Then Hilo raised his gaze to meet the Chief of Security’s eyes. “Lieutenant,” he stated by way of greeting. Hilo was usually a jovial and good-humored man, so his distant demeanor was uncharacteristic. “I’ve reviewed Commander Holmman’s file. He’s been noted to have a penchant for risky behavior, but there’s no indication that he has violent tendencies. In fact, he was cleared of wrongdoing on the one physical altercation in his record, in which he apparently attempted to break up the fight, rather than contribute to it.”

“I can’t say I know the man well,” Hilo said with a small sigh, “but I also know that crewman death in non-combat situations is exceedingly rare, much less when another officer is in the room.” He waved the PADD. “Do you mind sending me the initial report of the scene?”
