Posted by Lieutenant Junior Grade Cara Meow (Xenoanthropologist and Sociologist) in Main Sim - XO and Cara Questioning Michael Duck
[snip + pasted in Michael’s reply]

‘’Darn’’ Hunter said kicking the door ‘’The CMO just contacted me that its the Cmdr who is going to speak to you, change of plans but where the hell is she !’‘.

He looked at the man ‘’Lets go to the briefing room instead ‘’ the doctor suggested afraid that the poor soul would get tired and he’ll have an emergency on his hand. Once there Hunter offered the man some thing to drink after making sure he was sitting comfortable ‘’ I have an idea let me call Cara she’s an Xenoanthropologist and Sociologist and I’m sure she’ll be more then willing to be present ‘’ .

The man nodded a bit, getting to his feet. “..Well lead on then I guess, would like to get back to Unity sooner rather then later. My family probably thinks I’m dead, or least is worried about me.........hmm maybe not so much my mother in law though…” he muttered that last part shrugging to himself while following Hunter to the room indicated.

Hunter took out his transmitter to call Cara =/\= Cara its Hunter, could you make it to the briefing room, the man that was saved is here with me please acknowledge =/\=.

=/\= Oh! Dr. Hunter! You’ve caught me washing my coat in Argon Oil again. I’ll be down as soon as I’ve finished. =/\= Cara purred.

Hunter rolled his eyes =/\= Then do hurry up cause I’m done waiting for you and the Cmdr to show up =/\= then he heard her purr *Darn I hate it when she does that * he thought to himself.

He then turned to the man ‘’Say we heard that some of the people cut ties with the Federation and went to live on the planet Unity …do you know why?’’ he asked.

As soon as she had brushed her hair, Cara dressed in something in her favourite colour purrple, and then left her Quarters for the Briefing Room.

’’ Are you hesitating to answer my question?’’ he asked the man ‘’Trust me there’s nothing to be afraid off we’re hear to help’‘.

At that point, Cara turned up. “Sorry, that was as fast as I could get here. Sorry I’m late. Where’s the Commander?”

Hunter opened both hands ‘’Beats me Cara I have no idea,’’ he replied with an annoying tone ..........enough to try the patience of a saint.

=/\= Commander Royal. Please interview the man we rescued in Conference Room-B, Deck 3. I believe Doctor Hunter is waiting for you with Cara Meow. Glen out! =/\=

Hunter slapped his forehead =/\= Cmdr Royal since no one opened the Captain’s office door we are now at the briefing room so please make your way in here
=/\= .

“I think I ought to get started, whether the Commander is here or not,” Cara announced to Hunter. “Would you stay too Doctor Hunter? You can be his chaperone and let me know if you think the questions are over-taxing him.”

Hunter replied in the affirmative.

Cara squeezed in through the door, sighing once again about the human-centric design of the Merrimack doorways and consoles. She sat and indicated that everyone else should. New information from the Bridge immediately popped up on her terminal concerning the meteor shower, the sickness, and colony wide quarantine of any traffic or comms in or out that was possibly a cover up for something else, and the feasibility of posing as a hermit group with a home out in the woods using fake ID’s. Cara would need to be careful about asking anything about the latter though; she had no idea where this man’s political loyalties would lie, and if this was actually going to be the Captain’s plan, then Michael’s hope to be quickly reunited with his family and mother in law might need to wait until after they had gone down. For all she knew, Michael could immediately give them up to the authorities and be totally on board with the cover up.

The male doctor peered over Cara’s shoulder at the information.

“Hello Michael,” Cara began. “My name is Cara Meow. I am the ship’s Xenoanthropologist and Sociologist. My passion is to discover new cultures and new civilisations. This is Doctor Hunter, who you already know. I believe that Commander Royal will join us shortly. We simply want to ask you a few questions so that we can determine what happened to the Unity colony. We know that the colony isn’t too happy with the Federation’s attitude towards religious separatist groups like your planet, and I want to assure you that this visit is purely a humanitarian one. The Federation today, embraces diversity and social justice, and value the equality of persons and the dignity of life. The ‘Outreach Programme’ that has sent us, is merely concerned with the sudden loss of communications traffic, and breakdown in mining and industrial activity, and whether this was a sign of some natural catastrophe to which we should lend a hand. Now that we have arrived, we have found reports of a meteor shower about the time of the breakdown but some questions over whether that explains what we have observed. Can you tell us in your own words what you know about this?”
