Zeke looked at Abrams. “Security officers are naturally trained to be more observant then other crew,” he said. “What’s the most odd situation that’s been reported?”

Cassidy remained standing and leaned against the wall. “Well, the missing pet snake and rat are more explainable, if odd that they happened at the same time. But to me it’s the missing picture frame that one crew member and her roommate couldn’t figure out what happened to. We’re still also not certain about the computer system breach that uploaded recipes. These are all innocuous but each require an unusual set of events to occur. And now that these are all happening at once? Well, Archnie’s fear is understandable.” She wished she could have spoken to him again and gotten more details, and once more she worried for his safety.

Zeke snorted. “Why, these seem like the sort of practical jokes that we pulled back at the Academy! Do the new recipes just happen to include snake or rat?”

CMO

Cassidy shook her head. “No, they aren’t recipes added to the database, they were ones already there that were accessed. And if it were a practical joke, we’d have the ability to trace the person responsible. Only unauthorized users trying to avoid detection would go through that much trouble to poke our curiosity and leave us little to work with.” And that was the danger in her mind, truly. It wasn’t the random events but the coordinated effort possibly going into the whole of it that bothered her.

“I still don’t understand why they would look at the food database,” the Captain commented. “Or engage in petty theft. Who steals a picture frame, really?”

Mattie was quiet for a moment “If it is a snake like creature or an arachnid it might be possible to find them using thermal scanners looking for colder temperatures that would be consistent with these creatures.”

“You know, that’s actually a good idea. And one that might actually lead somewhere. We shouldn’t waste our time trying to figure out why small animals are being stolen and why the recipe database is being hacked into; it’s enough that they are and that someone is doing it. We can ask them why after we capture them.”

“Go ahead and configure the sensors accordingly. “

“Maybe our hand tricorder as well,” Zeke added. He wanted to contribute something to the discussion.

CMO

Avik thought a moment, listening to everyone. There was something going on here that none of them knew and this caused the rash of thefts. Her ears caught the mention of a scan over the ship to detect cold blooded individuals.

“We need to account for any crew member that fits that set of parameters and exclude them in the search,”she added.

“That will simply be a matter of having the internal sensors run a sweep of the ship looking for any life form that’s not wearing a comm badge,” Zeke said. “Arachnids, ophidians. The sensors are sensitive enough to pick up anything that they’re designed to detect.”

As the group was discussing the situation, the comm system keyed up.

“I’m going to take the call here,” the Captain said to the officers around the room, “but everything I’ve just told you in this briefing is classified by Rear Admiral McGuinness. The Admiral and I have a special communications protocol established. This Commander is not authorized to know anything we just talked about. Watch what you say.”

He pressed a button on the table. =/\= Pipe the Commander down here, Ensign. =/\=

Once the connection was established, he said: =/\= This is Captain Dvorak. =/\=
