The comms in the security section activated of their own accord and a voice only message came through.

=/\= Dresden Security, FedSec Agent Bolivar McCain. Acknowledge, Dresden. =/\=

Almost instinctively, Issac glared at the comm speaker as it interrupted his note-taking and planning. The glare turned into confusion, then suspicion as it squawked out the title. Comms immediately after that meeting finishes up? Hmmm; I don’t like it…

=/\=Computer; verify credentials of incoming call; show results on display one. Record call as well; along with any metadata.=/\= That done, he answered the incoming call; his tone sharp. =/\=Answer call, audio only.=/\= “Call acknowledged; Dresden security here.”

Issac Forgrave, CoS

The computer chirped and the credentials were verified as Federation Security, Senior Agent McCain. =/\= Dresden, this is FedSec. I need to speak to your Security Chief asap. Please get Lieutenant JG Forgrave on the line. I’ll hold. =/\= came the response. The voice on the other end was polite, but rhere was an edge to it as well.

Various thoughts on what the subject of this call could be flashed through Issac’s mind. The rushed feel to this mission; Dr. Drillek accompanying them; and the science base itself. No sense wondering; likely as not this Agent McCain will tell me. And they already sound irritated - well, that makes two of us!

“Forgrave here; please go ahead.”

Issac Forgrave, CoS

=/\= Lieutenant, thanks for taking the call. I understand you are going to the Julian Echo Observatory, and I want to know why. We have interests in the station, and if something is going on I want to know! I mean, a dreadnaught isn’t sent for a look-loo mission, now is is Lieutenant? =/\= Agent McCain replied, his tone tense and his words curt.

Issac was quiet for a moment; considering his words carefully. Hmmm, so Agent McCain knows where we’re going, but not why… And why not ask the Captain? She’s the one in charge here, not me! Either he doesn’t know about the Admiral giving us this mission, or the Admiral isn’t answering questions; and with the high-profile nature of the base, I figure they’d want to keep things quiet, even if we aren’t exactly black ops here. So… if Agent McCain has questions… why ask the Security Chief? Unless…

A thought entered Forgrave’s nasty, suspicious mind. Though he thought little of rank in general, his was relatively junior - hell, it was in the name! McCain here could be banking on me caving to intimidation; I’d wager many folks in my position wouldn’t want to risk new pins or a new office… But I smell a rat; now, how to suss it out....

In a voice full of false cheer, Issac replied. “Well Sir, I reckon I don’t really know all that much - I’ve been told we’re shipping out, and so I’ve got my work in front of me! And as a matter of fact, we get to go on lots of look-loo missions; turns out a dreadnaught can do an awful lot of looking when we put our mind to it. But you’ve mentioned you have ‘interests’ in this… Julian Echo Observatory, is that right? Would you be willing to fill me in? If something sounds familiar, I’d be delighted to tell you what I can, though it may not be very much.” That oughta get him riled up…

Issac Forgrave, CoS
