Nicholas sat in his office, staring at a dark computer screen. Hyrushi had made a specific request, and if he honored it, Nicholas might end up free of his bonds to Starfleet. He rose from his chair and got a cup of ice water from the replicator. When he returned to his seat, he entered his S31 credentials and requested database access. “Computer. Look up all intelligence files on one… Sinayda Nyx.”
=Sinayda Nyx. Age: 31.=
“Skip the summary. What’s the priority level on her Intel file?”
=Beta 3.=
“Good. What about any section 31 records?”
=There is one deep classified record.=
“Open it.”
=You do not have access to files on this clearance level.=
“Confirm. I can know the file exists, just not what’s in it?”
=Confirmed.=
“Delete all files relevant to Sinayda Nyx.”
=Cannot comply. You do not-=
“Have clearance. Delete the Intel file.”
=Confirm file deletion.=
“Confirmed.”
————————————————————————————-
“What now?” Rhea asked over a choppy comm connection.
“I need you to purge a file.” Nicholas replied.
“It’s outside your reach?”
“That’s right.”
“What is it?”
“A person. Sinayda Nyx. She doesn’t need to disappear, but Intel and classified documents on her past and present whereabouts need to go away.”
“I’ll take care of it. But you owe me.”

Nicholas sent another message to the new Governor. I did what you asked. Your turn.

-Nicholas James

OOC: That was kind of too easy, wasn’t it? No hiccups or running into walls?

D…

OOC: We’ll he did run into a wall, that’s why he called someone else to help finish the job. It also hasn’t been very long so if anyone noticed what he was doing, Nicholas might not know that yet.

-Sam

OOC: I would play Longstreet in here but in reality he would not know this was occurring so Im not into the GOD mode kinda play and make that leap. I will stay out of it with Longstreet.

Sidney

OOC: For now… MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

IC:

Kenzo looked at the message. He was surprised, if he was being honest with himself. He activated the comms and keyed in a series of alpha-numeric sequences. After a few minutes, his display went blank and a single text prompt appeared. Kenzo typed in =/\= Verify status of Beta. =/\= There was a long pause and a line of text appeared. =/\= Beta… non-status. No File Found. Search terminated. =/\= Kenzo cleared the communication and it’s log and then leaned back, steepling his fingers together as he looked out over the colony. He sat in silence for a few minutes and then said simply “Nyx, can you come here please?” The small device hidden in his tie pin activated at the command phrase and the message was relayed to the only person he truly trusted.

Hyrushi, Governor

She’d been in her own office, a smaller affair next to Hyrushi’s with an exterior entrance and a common door between the two. As she stood from the desk, Nyx clicked off her computer screen. There was always the chance she wouldn’t have time to return and shut it down and most of the time she was looking at some kind of sensitive data. Walking to the connecting door, she opened it and stepped in to the tastefully ornate furnishings of her ‘boss’.

“You need something?”

—Nyx

Kenzo looked at her and said “What do you make of our new ‘friend’ Mr. James?” he asked softly.

Hyrushi, Governor

Nyx sat on the edge of his desk with one hip. “I haven’t really formed an opinion of him yet. He appears to stay to himself most of the time which either means he doesn’t like people or he has something to hide. I suppose it could be a combination of both of those things?” Looking down at Kenzo, she was hit with the sudden urge to reach out and caress the side of his face.

Surprised by the nudge of emotions they’d put away a long time ago, Sinayda continued. “Do you have particular concerns about him? Do you want me to take a deeper look into him?”

—Nyx

Kenzo spun the message around for her to read. “Actually, I want you to go see the Fleet Security Chief and ask him to run a records check on you. You and I both know that if Mr. James hasn’t done what he professes to have done, you will be held over for questioning… again… and we will know that he is either a liar or an idiot. Either way, not someone we want to deal with. If he has done it… well… that just opens up all kinds of new opportunities, don’t you think?” and he smiled at her. Machinations and subterfuge was something Nyx knew Kenzo did not enjoy… but that didn’t mean he wasn’t good at it. Especially if it was directed at someone he considered a threat to him or those he cared for.

Hyrushi, Governor

Sin nodded. “Alright, I’ll head over to Security now.” She stood and turned, heading for the door to the corridor. “You’ll know within the hour which way it went—providing the head of security is actually in his office when I get there. Either way, I’ll let you know.” She was standing in the open doorway now. “Anything else while I’m out?”

—Nyx

Kenzo looked at her, framed in the doorway, and smiled a slightly melancholy smile. “One thing. Thank you, Sinayda. If your are free, perhaps we could dine together this evening? We havent had a chance to really talk since we started… well… all of this.” and he gestured at the office. “I’d like to remedy that.”

Hyrushi, Governor

She smiled, knowing it was Kenzo, the man, not Hyrushi, the Governor, asking her to dinner. “I’d love that. Make whatever arrangements you’d like and just let me know when and where. If I’m not being ‘detained’ from this errand, I’ll be there.” Still with a bit of a grin on her face, Sin left the building and continued to Longstreet’s location.
