Kanina flushed lightly. So many years away from home and she still wasn’t used to having to speak aloud. “I was asking Lieutenant Mwezi to allow me to… psychically investigate.”

Mwezi nodded slightly to Kanina, understanding what she was asking. He wasn’t sure if it would be effective in finding anything, but it was worth a try. The intense expression on his face dropped off, but he still held his hands to his temples. He stared at Kanina. “I… know…”

Sideman continued to listen to the mission brief. He kept quiet but had a look on his face of concern. He would follow the Captain to hell and back, but to go off without Starfleet’s approval almost seemed like a serious breach of protocol, so he thought that he would finally say something.

“Sir, as the Executive Officer, I think I should point out that we should, at least, notify Starfleet of our intentions. What if we get into trouble out there? Starfleet would not even know to start looking for us. Again, I am with you, these are just my thoughts.”

Michael Sideman, XO

“Noted, but…” he stopped when Grey spoke up.

William finally spoke up “Starfleet knows we’re going to Galdor but not as to why, if they were made aware you would be given orders to relieve the Captain of his duties and failing that I would be ordered to do so” He stated matter-of-factly “However if we remain in regular contact with the fleet they should notice if we suddenly drop of the grid”

CSO, 2O

“True. Both of you have valid points.” He stated standing up slowly still making sure Mwezi was OK. When he thought he was on he turned to them all. “Commander Sideman. You and Commander Grey will do what you’re supposed to do. I will not have any ill will towards anyone doing what they think is right. Having said that, please at least wait until we can get Mwezi to Galdor before bringing me in and or taking over command. He really needs to get there.”

Turning to look down at Kane and then to the assembled crew again. “Doctor Kanina. Please notify Starfleet about Lieutenant Mwezi’s condition and that we are on our way to Galdor to have him treated since we lack the proper means to do so here. It’s not entirely fabricated but if you don’t feel comfortable relaying the message, then I’ll do it myself.”

Kane glared at Taggart and shook his head, allowing the hair to fall across his face as he mumbled “Shoulda stayed in New Detroit…”

Kanina nodded. “A fabrication Captain? I can’t imagine what you mean.” She was already drafting the message, thinking of how best to emphasize her confusion.

Commanders Sideman and Grey. We will keep in adequate contact with Starfleet since we will not be totally going dark. I hope that that satisfies everyone for the time being?”

As soon as Chris was done talking the medical team should up to take Mwezi to Sickbay.

When Kanina sensed Mwezi normally, she would find him to be somewhat of a black-box to her empathic senses. The Galdori emotional cortex operates on a totally different level to most humanoids, making it difficult for the average empath to locate or sense their emotions. However, certain baselines could be determined through time and exposure, allowing an experienced Empath to understand the emotions given off by a Galdori. Right now, Mwezi’s emotions weren’t blocked off from her senses. They were simply… gone. Where once there was a sense of something, however difficult to read, there was now a strong sense of emptiness.

As the medical team prepared to transport Mwezi, Kane stood up and glared at the assembled officers. “Idiots… always overthinking when the answer is right there in front of you.” and he went to the wall and activated the comms. [O] CMO to Bridge. Send the following message to Star Fleet Medical and Fleet Command. We have an injured Galdorian suffering from acute onset but unconfirmed neurological compromise. Medical Library is insufficient to fully diagnose or create treatment plan. All indicators are that the issue must be treated by native medical personnel. In agreement with the Commanding Officer and under medical emergency authority, we are hereby changing course in order to provide the best possible care for the patient. Chernov out. Send it Priority One. CMO out [O] and he shut down the comms. Looking at the medics he said “Get him to sickbay.” and then he looked at the officers assembled in the room.

“Seriously… every last one of you would overthink it if you were on fire.” and he stomped out of the room after the medics. As he left, he shouted over his shoulder “Now when they ask you can tell them where we’re going and they won’t care… except that we get there fast.”

Kane, CMO

William turned towards the doctor as he left “The physical embodiment of rash decisions” He said to no one in particular. He turned to the Captain “Unless there’s anything else I’d like to return to my lab. Until we get to Galdor there’s little for me to do on the Bridge”

CSO, 2O

“Granted Commander. I’ll be on the bridge if anyone needs me.” Chris shook his head at what just happened and walked away.

Bridie had watched everything happen and was as shocked as Mwezi at Kane’s orders. But when something truly happened, she realized this was no longer something she was going to have to handle. Kane had Mwezi well in hand. With a murmured apology to the others, and a comment to Kane she was there if he called, she walked out a moment or two behind the CO.

They were changing course, going against Star Fleet, more or less, and all she knew is it had something to do with Mwezi and a transporter booster. The rest, she would guess, was more private than was being let on. She wasn’t stupid. Whatever was happening, they weren’t being completely told the truth. So she headed for engineering and decided silence was the best policy for now.
