=/\= I was not aware hold the prisoner in the bay and I’ll be down immediately don’t let the shuttle leave..=/\= she said

Starr awaited the response and with NE Watchful Eye following behind, and made his way to the shuttlebay where this prisoner was being transferred. “Be ready for anything” he said as they entered into the shuttlebay.

The Runabout Ardent Angel sat on it’s landing pad on the side of the bay with several of the bays crew standing about waiting. Normally they would of been busy offloading the Runabout already. But as per the orders of NE Docking operations officer Sterling. The Runabout hadn’t even been allowed to open it’s hatches. It was in fact locked down With docking clamps.
NE Sterling stood near the Runabout waiting on security. He had a padd in hand and a phaser on his hip just in case. He was calling on the bay crew to “keep back wait on security”, when the CoS and others entered.. he took a sharp intake of breath as he saw the Captain was in the group, and stood straighter. As a junior officer he had seen her only once before and then at a distance. “Sir. Some kind of screw up. There is no prisoner transfer on record. The crew rotation is onboard missing one ensign who didn’t sign in. Apparently the civilian population was in a panic over something and the Ardent Angel was loaded and sent off in a rush without the usual formalities with a prisoner added with no explanation. Just do not interact. Do not release. Deliver to the Ark Angel from the Chief of base security. Pilot says the security team looked worse for wear.”,
Sterling wanted this over with. He blurted out everything he knew in a hurry and hoped he could just get back to his booth overlooking the bay.

It was at this point accompanied by two more security NE’s Fleet Captain Drudoc entered the shuttlebay. Coming over to the nervous looking NE she stood at her full 6‘2 height. “..Alright someone want to tell me why I was not informed of a prisoner transfer to MY ship??” She said with annoyance, “..Especially given we are to be leaving for a year long exploration mission shortly?”

NE Sterling did not look happy. He looked like a man having a bad day. He wasn’t ambitious. He wasn’t remarkable. He was a timid man who did his job better than some but needed a quiet space to work in. The hanger bay was not proving to be quiet this morning. “Ma’am!” He barked a bit to loudly. He winced at this point as a warble, warble warbling, noise could faintly be heard coming from the dermal implant he had in his ear. He had it installed so he could get reports quietly without others being disturbed by mundane daily operations. That the present communication could be heard out loud if muffled meant someone must be scraeming into the com directly into Sterlings ear.
NE Sterling tapped just behind his ear and the warbling stopped. He looked at the Captain and CoS apologetically, “I put in a call to base sir. She came with no paperwork.
But it seemis she is the crewmember that didn’t check in for the flight. There was a brawl in a bar. Something about a Orion trying to drag her off. Klingons. A right mess. Our girl was out cold on the floor. Doc cleared her so they dumped her on the shuttle. Umm some lunkhead who is going to get a year of sensativity training after this assumed she was a dangerous criminal. Stuffed her in a EVA suit, and magnetic manicles and shipped her to us as a prisoner. Sir. All because she’s greener than granny smith apple.”, Sterling relayed the message as he recieved it without editing it. He looked both embarrassed and confused. And shrugged. “Should we let them unload sirs?”, he asked looking between the Captain and the CoS. “She’s been sealed in a eva suit for 3 days now. Air and water for a week with reclaimation on but I wouldn’t vouch for comfortable or fresh smelling.”, and he almost relaxed as he realised he wasn’t responcible anymore. It was the senior crews responsibility now.

“So your saying one of the new crew members is an Orion woman? I wouldn’t feel safe if she hasn’t had any pheremone inhibitor, captain, however as this is something that works on us males more effectively, I’d say you would have better luck from here. I’ll have your back if you need me, captain” Starr offered as he continued looking towards the shuttle, awaiting his orders.
