“Where is Commander Jarrett?”

GM

Per Starfleet General Order Article 14, Section 31 which allows officers to use of “extraordinary measures” in times of dire emergency, I stunned the man and Greer removed him from the bridge. Can we get you something to drink? Coffee, tea or something with a bit less caffeine,< Paris replied in her head. There were a lot of other security regulations but Article 14 and her sworn duty to protect her captain from any threat real or perceived justified her actions. Paris had no idea what the man was capable of. He was clearly exhibiting conduct unbecoming an officer so that meant he was unpredictable and unpredictability led to security concerns.

Paris let her gaze fix on the screen. Admirals, especially pompous ones, like on the screen now held no respect or authority in Paris’ book. This Admiral would threaten the crew again and probably express righteous indignation. The truth was the Admiral was ineffectual and a coward hiding behind their pips, shouting and acting as if they had an iota of concern for the people the were commanding. If they did, they would impart even the barest details with sincerity and respect. They would not scream and rant like a toddler on the screen every time she contacted the ship. If they were someone to respect, the Admiral would display the calm control of Captain Greer. The fact the Admiral was ten shades of red and seemed barely able to form a word just made the woman look more incompetent to Paris. Security protocols were in place and Paris as security chief had made a choice. The current nature of their assignment and the threatening manner to which Jarrett was exhibiting fit the criteria for Paris to be concerned for her Captain’s safety and act.

Natalie held the Admiral’s gaze “He has taken ill. He’s currently in Sickbay being treated. Now, how can I help you Admiral. We are in the middle of trying to figure out the situation and trying to prevent additional deaths.” She said calmly and with a clear desire to get on with their current orders. I am sure that we can get him a message if you would like to encrypt it.” She offered “We want to make sure that he is healthy and ready to help us in this investigation.” She said.

The admiral ignored the rest of Greer’s pointed message. “Ill how?” she demanded. “He was perfectly healthy when I sent him on board your ship, Captain. Perhaps I should find someone else to handle this if you can’t keep one attache in good health.” Her voice moved from filled with anger to filled with disdain and sarcasm. “Perhaps I need to accompany you on your mission.” She left the veiled threat hanging as she stared down Greer.
