It had been a day travelling at Warp 8 to get the Pelican and her crew to a place they could lay low for a bit. The asteroid field they were currently in was home to thousands of individual space rocks, a few hundred of which were large enough for the Rabid Pelican to actually land on and stay hidden.

Once they were safely tucked away, it was time to discuss their last ‘outing’ and then sort out their take. To this end, Agent Blue had requested the Command Team and all participants of the freighter theft to meet in the cargo bay after everything was secured and all non-essential systems were either set to stand by or taken off-line entirely.

Sara took her place early, before most arrived. She looked somewhat somber, the reports of events as they had transpired on the ship beginning to trickle her way.

Bethany arrived early along with Ridad and the rest of the team that has gone. She and Ridad had talked and she had a full sitrep from him. There were questions.

But one Jr Lt Samuel Patton couldn’t keep quiet any longer. “He shot him! Point blank. He wasn’t armed. We are supposed to LOOK like pirates, not be them!”

Silent movement behind them drew Shara to the group. “Wrong. We’re supposed to be exactly as we need to be to convince everyone we mean business. You were warned that this would get ugly. We did exactly as we needed to- no more, no less,” Calloway said, her steely blue eyes gazing hard at Patton. “You don’t have to like it, but that is our reality. This is bigger than anything you can wrap your mind around. You’re going to have to trust us.”

“She’s right.” Sara cut in. She wasn’t looking at anyone in the room, just staring at the center of the table. “It may be distasteful to our starfleet sensibilities but if we don’t act the part, in every way. We will blow the hole thing. Your objections are noted Patton, but they cannot be afforded right now.”
