“As CMO of this ship my primary concern is the health and safety of all those on board.” Hayley replied with a steely note to her voice and a serious expression. “ ‘Logical proof’ will take some time to obtain. Every possible source of this outbreak, yourselves included, will be contained until proven clear. I MAY consider prioritizing your tests somewhat, but not ahead of the medical staff. Are we clear?”

Jr. Lt. Marshall CMO

At this point two NE security guards wearing isolation masks, came in flanking the door to either side, another four were outside in the hall. Also entering was the ship’s Captain also wearing an isolation mask. Drudoc wanted to keep up appearance of their cover story for as long as possible unless the jig was up, in which case she had brought extra security inside and outside. Drudoc heard Lt Marshall’s tone as she entered and took a moment as the door closed behind her to survey the scene about. She could see their guests were on edge at the least. “..Lt Codem. My chief doctor is correct. The health and safety of my ship and crew comes first and foremost. I do however, have some questions for you regarding recent evidence uncovered on your shuttle and from our probes while we are on our way to the Montezuma. Sit down please and we can let the medical staff perform their scans while we talk..” She said in a tone which gave no measure to argue.

For a brief moment Codem let his guard down. The look on his face as he turned to look at his friends said he suspected they’d been caught somehow. He got his guard back as he took a seat on the biobed again, looking at Drudoc. “Talk then, there’s not a whole lot else you’ll learn from me, besides what I’ve told you.”

Drudoc pulled up a chair sitting on it Riker style but kept back about 8ft from their guests. “..Let’s start with the fact of why you proceeded on a circumvent course through a hazardous nebula and ion storm, thereby potentially damaging your shuttle and ability to ‘look’ for rescue for the Montezuma. Then there is the fact your shuttle is unregistered by our logs and their seems evidence that your shuttle’s logs themselves were tampered with. Further, is the fact we are picking up strange taychon and energy emissions from our probes by the Montezuma herself. Emissions not consistent as being from another ship but from the Montezuma herself. What do you have to say for that?” She asked first off.

“We took an indirect route because the direct route wasn’t likely to get us to help. We didn’t know the Ark Angel was where it was, we just plotted a course that would take us towards areas we figured were likely to have Federation ships.” Alera spoke up, moving to stand to Codem’s right.

”..I understand you couldn’t have known we’d be where we were, but it seems frankly foolish to go through an ion storm and nebula like you did. Federation ships would be avoiding such nebula’s and ion storms..” Drudoc countered.

“The shuttle’s not registered because it’s on loan from the Corp of Engineers for experiments. We just jumped in the first available shuttle we found. We didn’t realize until later it was the one we were loaned.” Izzin said, standing with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall. “I thought we fixed those emissions.” He said, nodding.

”..I see, interesting that you mention such a transfer, such would have been noted in the shuttle’s logs which we have not found any sign of. Further such a transfer log would be in our weekly ship update logs, again no such transfer is on record..” Drudoc stated. “..A fact we could also confirm fairly quickly by our long range uplinks to Starbase 243. You stories seem.....frankly quite weak and actions suspicious to what you claim happened to the Montezuma and why you were out here. There is also the fact you give me coordinates to a system which we’re not even headed too, why? The Montezuma is near to it yes but no where inside its influence. We have no reason to go there if your goals were to find help for the ship why also direct us to a mostly unclaimed and unexplored system?” she went on.

”..Explain more about the emissions that we’re picking up, what is their source?” She questioned.

Outside the medbay, Watley stood, ready, no, hoping something would happen. The old man hadn’t had an opportunity to take down a group of intruders, and all the deskwork had been suffocating to him. His fingers were dangling just above his phaser. Why the captain had gone with medical gear on, Watley could not tell. The subtlety of his commanding officer could not annoy the chief more, the brig was plenty comfortable, and as long as these people were free to move about the ship they were threats.

Tolly approached the door nodding to the NE security guard who nodded back and stepped away letting the young ensign take his place.

“Sorry I’m late” he said “I needed to finish up my evals” He looks down noticing the Lieutenant’s fingers right above his phaser.

“Expecting trouble sir?” He asked his own senses beginning to heighten

Watley looked over at the ensign. “We have some suspicious characters in the med bay and a captain who is more interested in talk than action it would appear.” He smiled at Tolly. I’m hoping not to run into trouble, but I’m not exactly afraid of it ensign. Just maintain your post here until we work the situation out, and be ready to aid the captain should she need it.”
