Fayth escorted Mercer away from the secured lab and back down the hall, but not to the exit. Instead they stopped by a set of offices. “Dr. Mercer, I would like to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you have walked into and seen things I am not sure you should have. So we have two options. You can wait with the officer inside while I verify your identity and credentials, or I can contact Colonial and Star Fleet securities and let them handle this security breach.”

Lt. Cmdr. Fayth, Chief Star Fleet Medical Officer
