OOC: I’m assuming that this scene takes place after the time skip Koh posted here: https://www.star-fleet.com/core/stf5/olinski/posts/96284/, but before Sidney returns to the Olinski.

Jason Harn used the solitude to contact Meridian Station and talk to Sidney. After some pleasantries, Jason gave him a summary of the day’s adventure so far, relaying the rescue of the Sierra, the paralysis and bodily override suffered by several members of the crew, and the duplicity of Mrs. Pitch and the probable danger the rod presented.

=^=What really gets to me is the plight of that baby, Boss,=^= Jason finished after his verbal report. =^=That woman was able to fool our sensors as well as the naked eye. At this rate, I don’t even think that baby is hers, but how do I know if I’m homing in on a kidnapper or I’m bullying a distraught mother who’s gone too far? I’d really appreciate your input, Skipper. I let myself get too close to this.”
