Posted by Lazol (Chief Science Officer) in Summoning the Captain
The message was very brief, but keeping with Lazol it was on point for him. The message would appear to Cobb as follows:

Ready Room, 1200 hours. Come alone. Utmost secrecy.

Lazol

Secrets. By the gods did he hate bloody secrets! Should probably have chosen a different ship to command then, eh, old chap?
There was a time when he had hated Ferengi with equivalent zeal. But since the interaction with Olash, who continued to send highly useful information from time to time (and continued to be reasonably well compensated for it too), the captain had grown fond of the large-eared ones’ penchant for plain-speak when it came to money and profit. Even if all else was an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a…well, you got the idea.

But DaiMon Lazol was a different matter entirely. There was some truth to the rumour that Cobb was suspicious of any individual who outranked him on his own bloody ship. Also that Lazol’s proclivity for material accoutrements was something wholly alien to one so…unrefined as Zachariah. But mostly it came down to this - for all of his effort, Cobb could not gain the measure of the man. And that troubled him a great deal.

And so it was a somewhat irritable captain who entered the ready room at 12:00 hours on a hurricane-strength, steadying breath…
