”..Very well Captain, thank you. I’ll leave you too it then and then to file the results back to me. Good luck..” He said.

“In that case, it is probably best that we undertake the inspection immediately now! The lectures are almost complete and my crew will be going off, wherever their leave takes them. I need a couple with me if we are to visit every room, see every kit bag, and to look in every cupboard and drawer. It really depends if you wanted this to be an announced or unannounced inspection as to whether you wish to warn the instructors about it in advance, because if you did then you would need to do that right away.”

”..Make it a surprise inspection. Red Squad I feel has gotten too much leeway lately with announcements of events..” He said.

“It will be a total surprise then Sir. I’ll organise it now,” Glen replied.

Glen left the Commandant’s office and returned to the main campus. He wanted a couple of his senior officers to conduct the inspection with him. He found Dr. Cross quite quickly. It might be a little unconventional to choose the Doctor for a military style inspection, but the Doctor did have a god eye for detail. in addition, he had his doubts about the Commandant and had already spoken with Miriam regarding them, so it made sense to have her along.

“Dr. Cross,” Glen asked her, “Can you spare a couple of hours right now before my lecture? I need some help to undertake a snap inspection of Red Squad.”

Cross had just exited the Cafeteria and was planning on leaving the premises for some shopping,apparently that had to wait.

‘’Yes of course Captain’’ the female doctor responded back ‘’Could you specify how you are going to implement the inspection?’’
After taking some steps along side Glen she asked ‘’ Did the Admiral give you any reason or clues for such a request ?’‘.

“Just a kit bags, uniforms and lockers type of inspection. Lot’s of saluting and making polite conversation. We don’t have the time to look at any paperwork. I have no idea how good the Academy is at the organisation of the training or its educational standards, and we’d need more than two hours to inspect that....” said Glen. “No, he didn’t give me a reason, but he was acting oddly again… he was crying when I first went in his office. If there is something illegal going on, such as fraud or corruption, then we aren’t going to find that in two hours either, but we will keep our eyes and ears open. If policies and procedures are not being followed they won’t be able to cover that up. If we appear to be friendly then maybe a cadet will disclose something to us. Unless you have a better idea?”

Cross took her time to respond ‘’Captain as you know the Red Squad or Cadet Training Squadron is usually made of an elite group of cadets at Starfleet Academy. Red Squad members receive special classes and advanced field training.If something is indeed going on we have to be certain their instructor won’t be present,no Cadet would risk saying anything incurring the chance of unfortunate consequences by exposing anthing..friendly as we come out to be’‘.

Then the CMO thought about the Admiral ‘’He’s either paranoid ,has a hunch something is going on or know through awareness.observation, inquiry, or information..I wish you had dug in deeper to find out Sir’‘.
