Faye beelined for her office and pulled the chairs around so the three of them could sit and work at the terminal, she pulled up her search history from the bridge and had the info on Silas Morgan on display. Then she sent an encrypted test message to both Marishka and Dawson: ||Important side quest. Need backup with your expertise. My office, ASAP.||

Blowing out a breath, she wondered what to say to Dag. She couldn’t say nothing but he was on his own important mission. She would send him something quick before they left for anywhere.

It took very little time for Dawson to arrive at the door of the Intelligence Office. He was dressed with a bit more decorum at this point, but he knew that could likely change in a whim. He rang the time as he sensed the urgency within Faye.

Marishka arrived behind Dawson a few seconds later. Her natural approach was stealthy and silent. He likely wouldn’t notice she was even there, unless of course he smelled her familiar perfume.

“Greetings. I’m used to being the first one here. I guess I’ll have to get used to that.”

Marishka was dressed and what could pass for professional in her line of work.

“Come in,” Faye called out.

She gestured at them with a hurried gesture to the chairs. “Come, sit. I need your help.”

“As you may or may not know, we’re investigating the disappearance and/ or destruction of several ships in these parts. The Starfleet crews seem to have taken a worse fate than the civilian freighters. While I was investigating the ships themselves, something interesting popped up. One one of the freighters, there was an Intelligence agent undercover, Silas Morgan, who was operating under the alias Caden Falls. He was on the Dawn Treader to ascertain whether or not they were smuggling stolen Breen weaponry. But he’s since disappeared, though he sent no distress signal. There was also no sign that his operation was compromised. Intelligenc hasn’t been able to find him, but the Athenawas assigned specifically to this mision with the idea that I can exfiltrate Morgan if possible.

Faye blew out a breath and ran a hand over her tidy french braid. When she looked bakc at them, her stormy grey-green eyes were haunted. “Half of me wants to run away and say hell no. I can’t put myself in a position where I can be captured and detained again. I don’t know that I would make it. BUt the rest of me, the one that dmeands some sort of justice in this gods forsaken universe demands we not leave him there is there is any chance he’s in trouble. We don’t know that he is. For all we know, he fell in love and went native. But also don’t know that he’s not in trouble, and thus I am compelled to investigate. It’s not an order, but I can’t turn a blind eye.

“I need help investigating this and most likely, hunting for him. I can’t and should not do this alone. Now, neither of you are under my orders and I can only ask for your help. It’s up to you, but know that if I din’t absolutely think I needed the help, I wouldn’t ask for it. You know my history with the Tal Shiar. This all brings up really hard things for me and I don’t know what will happen to me. Also, you should know that my mind dumps may have shifted slightly and”-she sighed and shook her head-“when my mind is realzed sometimes I lose time. I’m not sure what happens other than I blank out. I don’t think that will be an issue here on this side quest of mine but I want you to have all the variables and know it’s a possible liability.” Basically, if she could not slip elsewhere and didn’t lose her shit due to past trauma, she’d be fine. Maybe.

As Marishka watched Faye’s features intently, she listened to her words. She understood the look in her haunted green eyes. She knew that she wouldn’t be here unless Faye needed her help.

“At the stage I prefer to be asked rather than ordered. I am with you Faye.”

Dawson too had listened to her intently. It was odd in a way. He and Marishka weren’t officially officers, and yet here they both were ready to help. There was obviously no familial relation between the three of them, but the meeting felt akin to it in a way. She was divulging a lot of personal information, and Dawson was naturally perfectly fine with that. Marishka too seemed to go with the flow. There was something special about Faye that he couldn’t quite put his finger on. Something that he certainly enjoyed about her. What it was, not even he knew. He didn’t share any of those thoughts out loud. But his eyes did meet hers in understanding.

“Sounds like the odds are against and the situation could be grim. I’m in.” he said plainly.
