Rende cast a glance at Xam, she was in total agreement with him, but she had a feeling the Governor wasn’t the kind to be humble and admit there was a problem. “To put it simply, they are after to hold siege to your colony, Governor. Control the water, they control you. Your colony is quite fancy and luxurious. It’s a prime target. And they obviously have been watching for awhile and have good Intel if they know where to hit.”

An annoyed look passed over the Governor’s face at Ra’ti’s perceived rudeness, “..I am well aware WHAT a pirate does and the threats they can pose! I was considering concerns that should next be taken at this news.” Then looking to Asam, “..again Captain I am well aware the target we present, clearly as you outlined there is more going on then is known to me. I take pride in my colony and it’s citizens. Clearly as you hinted there could very well be sympathizers to these pirates, whether Orion or otherwise.” he said in agreement. “..However, unless you can point to me who might do such currently I can only trust for now for your ship’s company to find a solution to this threat until I can ascertain who elsewhere I can trust to carry out securing this colony’s defense..” He said.

The butler and bodyguard nearby spoke, “..Governor given this information, it would be wise for your wife and children to be brought here for their safety. We should also activate the transport inhibitors for this room once they arrive. Your family’s guards and I are sworn to your security though I will personally suggest I and the Sentinel’s tactical officer Vet each one before entering here..” He said.

The Governor gave a nod, “..Captain I would ask then Mr. Ra’Ti and my personal guard go to get my family to return them here. I and many here may prefer our independence from the Federation and Starfleet’s rules. But my family and my colony’s safety does come first and foremost in my mind..” he said.

Xam shook his h3ad and muttered “Typical…” under his breath before looking at the Governor. “So it’s a ‘We don’t want you unless we need you.’ kinda thing, huh?” and he chuckled with derision. He looked at the Captain and said “Captain, I dont know any of these people. The idea of me vetting them is laughable unless you want me to run them all through the computer. Either way, I think splitting up isn’t a smart move. If the Orions have agents here…” and he let the words remain u spoken at the end.

”..As you wish Captain..” The Governor said.

”..I would agree with the Starfleeters suggestions..” The bodyguard said.

Rende was quiet a moment. “I have to agree with my Tactical Officer. Splitting up would be unwise. However if you want to give us the coordinates, we can beam your wife and children directly here. Then your man can activate the inhibitors.” She turned to Xam. “We can link up with the Sentinel computer for you to run names and faces. I will also have Lt Farquharson come down with a psycho-tricorder. We can use the lie detection subroutine on it while the two of you question the security staff and anyone else.” Turning to the Governor, “Can you have someone meet him the courtyard?”

OOC:Brian had to take an LOA so we can use an NE for the psycho-tricorder for right now.

”..As long as my family ends up safe here that is fine..” he said.

She stood and walked a few feet away and activated her comm. =O=Sentinel this is Cpt Asam. Send Lt Randall Farquharson down with a psycho-tricorder immediately.=C=

=O=Sentinel, requesting secure comm connection.” Rende waited for the comm officer to respond and then she dialed her communicator to a secure channel. “I am going to transmit coordinates. I need you to transport the governor’s wife and children to my location immediately.=C=

=O=Aye, Cpt. We have the coordinates and transporting…now.=C=

Xam’s hand reflexively dropped to his side. He didn’t touch the phaser, but he was ready if the beings that were going to materialize were not who they should be.

Rende was as cautious as Xam. There was no telling what was going on, and taking the governor’s family was a good way to control him. However, as the light materialized the governor’s wife, 2 small children, and infant daughter appeared. “William what is going on?” She asked, almost demanded at the sudden and unexpected change of location. In this at least, the man seemed softer and genuinely concerned. He walked over to his wife and led her and their children to the far side of the room, speaking quietly. To his wife’s credit, she nodded firmly, sat down and began to engage her children in play to divert their own questions.

The maid knocked at the door and slipped in. “The nurse the fl..Cpt Asam requested has arrived. I took him to your office, Fitzgerald,” she said to the butler. He nodded, but looked conflicted. “I will stay with them, sir. Until you are finished questioning the security staff,” Rende said. The butler wasn’t sure what one fleeter captain could do, but the look on her face decided him that he wouldn’t want to be on her bad side. He turned to Ra’ti. “Lt, if you would please come with me?”

Rende stayed with the Governor and his family, routinely checking doors and windows to the street and courtyard while Ra’ti went to help interview people.

=O= Ensign Farquharson to Captain Asam. = C =

= O = Go ahead ensign = C = Asam answered after a moment.

= O = We have information about the
camouflaged ship. We found … = C =

= O = One moment, Ensign.” Rende motioned for the governor to join her. “I have the governor here, go ahead. = C =

=O= We found 3 different DNA samples inside. 2 Orion samples, but no known matches in the database. The 3rd was human. It was degraded but still a 65% match to the governor’s brother. = C =

=O= Thank you, Ensign. Asam out. = C =

Asam, CO

It was then that another comm came in. =O= Skipper, Ra’Ti here. We have a liar in our midst. Now, I know what I want to do to get the info out of him, but I don’t think the Governor would take kindly to such… activities. Request permission to take him up to the ship for ‘creative interrogation’.” Asam would know, hopefully, that the words were meant to instill fear in the subject and were not serious… but with Ra’Ti, one really never knew.
