Shara smirked. “Of course I do. I tend to prefer to be less… flashy,” she said, raising her eyebrows. “But it does the trick.”

She folded her arms across her chest. “You bringing Cochrane here, or would he appreciate the personal approach?”

~Cmdr. Shara Calloway, Starfleet Intelligence

“Soon, first I need to check on some of this information. I already have one rouge element here I don’t need another. Sit… make yourself at home if you wish.” Jack said as he sat at his desk, he hadn’t let his guard down yet but was a bit more relaxed as he began to pull up the information he began to read up on her.

Shara crossed over to the desk ad sat in one of the chairs, legs crossed at the knee and adopting a relaxed posture as she leaned against the back.

“Well… seems you are not lying.” he said as he glanced over at her.

Creed, XO

She snorted. “I wouldn’t be here if you thought I was,” she said knowingly. “But I get the confirmation is… nice.”

Dropping her leg, Calloway leaned forward and took a few moments to contemplate Creed. “I have more information to give you but I’m not authorized to. However, given the circumstances, if we cal my superior, she can help fill you and Captain Cochrane in. So we need him in on this. I’m only going to explain this once.” She didn’t qualify that with her idle thought that the exception was of course when she eventually had to explain it to her daughter, though she still wasn’t sure if it came to that.

Bump

“Fine, let me get him… you stay put.” Jack said looking at her with a stern look. He still wasn’t certain what he thought of her or if he even trusted her yet but she wasn’t wrong.

=/\= Captain, you have a moment to meet me in my office?=/\= Ardashir said as he looked over at Shara as he waited for the response.

Creed, XO

=/\= On my way, Commander.=/\= came the faintly British-accented reply of the CO. A few minutes later, the door chimed sounded and the door itself slid open to reveal the Captain standing with his hands clasped behind his back. Looking first at Creed, then at Calloway, he looked a bit surprised and more than a bit concerned. He said to the room in general “Well… this should be fun.” and came in and took a seat without being asked.

Cochrane, CO

“Well I do try to entice you Captain, see if I can keep you on your toes… this sir is Shara… Calloway. Seems introductions needed to be in order first before we got much further.”

Creed, XO

Cochrane looked at Shara and said flatly “Any relation to our Faye Calloway? I am assuming yes, as fate recently seems to be a fan of such circumstances.” and without waiting for a reply continued “And what brings you to our fair ship? Sightseeing? Or have you heard that our chef makes the best Risian stew outside of Risa’s best resorts?”

Cochrane, CO

Shara smirked ever so slightly as she rose to her feet, making the corners of her eyes crease more deeply. “Captain Alexander Cochrane,” she greeted with a bow of her head. “I’m Commander Shara Calloway with Starfleet Intelligence. And yes, I am related to Faye. It’s a long and complicated story, but I am her mother and she doesn’t know currently that I am here. That will change fairly quickly I imagine, but not until we’ve had a chance to chat.”

She shifted her gaze very briefly to Creed before returning her attention to the CO. “As I am sure you are aware, parts of Faye’s assignment to the Manhattan are a bit… unorthodox. Not that that in of itself is unusual with Intelligence officers or their work. But my superior has had me tracking some unusual activity and it seems my daughter might have be caught up in it. Which puts her and your ship in danger while in a very sensitive and important area of space. And thus this very quiet meeting we’re having right now, and hopefully a subsequent conversation with my superior, because if the wrong people get wind of this, well…” She spread her hands to the side and gazed at him deeply. He had no reason to trust anything she said- she was a complete stranger. But her cared about his ship, and his crew, and if he trusted Faye at all, Shara was willing to bet he’d at least hear her out.

~Cmdr. Shara Calloway, Starfleet Intelligence

“What exactly is happening? Nothing has been adding up and right now your daughter… well she looks like suspect one in a chain of suspicious activity. No superiors sent her here it seems and everything I can tell is she isn’t supposed to even be here… yet she is here.”
