=^= “Lieutenant Gadi, to the captains ready room” =^= came the voice of the NE at coms.

Elora looked at the time and turned her attention back to Gadi’s file. She requested that the file be released to her, her clearance was confirmed and now had the full unredacted file in front of her. She let out a sigh, not sure what she should do with the information. She did not even want to speak it out loud to Bethany incase ears would hear. She had to play this carefully while she decided weather she wanted her on the ship or not, it was not an easy choice to make. She sat there thumbing the Padd, her coffee getting cold.

Bethany grabbed her PaDD. She still had a few days to finish setting up the new duty rotation. She thought the captain would approve. She seemed like a no nonsense officer and would approve the schedule and reasons behind it. Bethany still had a few rotations to work out, but she had a few ideas that she tapped into the PaDD as she made her way down the lift to the CIC and then along the corridor to Myles’ ready room.

She stopped outside the door, wishing she had a cup of coffee with her, then dismissed it as unprofessional. She rang the chime.

“Come” she called, the look on her face said she was not pleased, She was reading something intently on the PaDD in her hands. “Have a seat Lieutenant” she said, sounding rather put out. After a long moment she stood, got hot water and sat back down.

Reaching into her desk she pulled out an old earth coffee press, and a brown bag of coffee beans, the smell of fresh roasted coffee filling the air. “Coffee?” she asked

Bethany entered and sat. The captain didn’t look happy. She was going to take a wild guess and say this wasn’t about the new crew rotations for security and RTF. She smiled at the offer. “Yes please. I see you’ve discovered my fatal weakness, captain. Coffee is my Achilles heel.”

“What can I do for you, Captain?”

Lt. Gadi, CTO/RTF

“Well, I’ve been put in one hell of a position” she said, she slid the Padd over to Bethany, The undredacted version of her file sat infront of her. Elora made I contanct with her as she pressed a cup of coffee for her.

Bethany didn’t need to read it - only glance at it. She knew what was in the file. She lifted the coffee to her lips and sipped. She nodded, “Thank you, it’s quite good,” she said of the coffee.

“You understand, that i’m supposed to strip you of your command duties and throw you in the brig until starfleet decides what to do with you!” she said. “Problem is they know you are here, and so I’m stuck with the bit of a moral problem” she noted sliding the fresh coffee. “Actual grown coffee and roasted, it’s not replicated, I can tell the difference” she said starting her own cup.

“I have the same set up in my quarters,” Bethany remarked as to the coffee. “My uncles send me bags of beans regularly.” She took one more sip before setting the cup down and leaning back to a more at attention posture. “I do understand captain. Quite well. If you wish to throw me in the brig I will go without a fight. I did not ask for this curse, nor do I want it. Unfortunately, the doctors can’t reverse it.” Her voice was unmistakenly bitter.

She considered the Lieutenants words, it certianly had not been her fault, she took a sip of her coffee. The taste of it sent shivers through her as the first bight of bitter goodness, settled on her tounge. “I see, and who else on this ship is aware of your, condition, it took my realitivily high clearance, to get into that, and a few favors” she asked her voice tired from a rather long.couple days.

“No one. It’s quite frustrated the doctor and counselor. They can’t see my files and I can’t tell them,” Bethany told her. She wished she could talk about it, but she wasn’t allowed. She tried to resign but they wouldn’t let her.

She looked over Gadi a moment. “I imagine that is hard, not having anyone to talk about it with?” myles said standing and taking the seat next to her. She knew the feeling there was so much she could not talk about, the cost of classified she thought.

Bethany appreciated the compassion Myles was offering. “It can be, but I follow orders, Captain. Star Fleet has been my goal since a team of combat armed officers found us in the Jalaran Jungle and saved us. It has been my life and my service.”

Lt. Gadi, CTO/RTF

Elora smiled, “I undertand, still if you find yourself in need of an ear, i am willing and frankly they only one you can talk to about this” she noted. “Is there anything in that file that is untrue? or you feel is a miss representation.”
