On a particularly slow Tuesday afternoon, the Governor and his secretary took lunch at the same time. It only took forged appointment papers to get past the security at the door. It was almost as though Nicholas was being invited in. He carried a briefcase with him. He tossed it onto one of the guest chairs in the lofty office. =31 Override; James Alpha Victor 9782.= he ordered the computer. =Lockdown in place. Section 31 access only.= he went to and opened his briefcase. From it he removed a deadbolt lock. He placed it over the existing lock and set the code, but didn’t lock it yet. He hid himself and his briefcase and waited for the Governor to return.

Not long after said events occurred, Michael Halloway and his blonde secretary both arrived at the same time. “Thank you Governor for the lunch, much appreciated,” she said rather daintily.

“Not a problem. I’ll be in my office if you need me.” He then opened the door and took a grand look inside. Of course he had not expected to see anyone in here, but something felt off. He sighed and moved quietly to his desk.

-Governor Michael Halloway

As the door closed, Nicholas slinked over and deadlocked it. “Hello Governor Halloway.”

The hairs on the back of Michael Halloway’s neck raised on end. He heard the slinking of a man in his office before he heard the words come out of his mouth. Halloway’s hearing was extraordinary, due to the borg implants still left in him. He had spun as the man started to say “Hello.”

Nicholas turned and approached the desk. “It has been some time. 11 years? But what do you remember? You are formerly Borg. When you were recovered… Project Aspire. What do you know?”

Halloway ignored the man and tapped the controls on his computer. He was assuming the computer had been locked out. Whoever he was, and whenever they were done here, Halloway was sure to give the security staff a firm understanding of what he meant when it came to keep a building secure.

“Governor, you know as well as I do that the computers have been locked down. Besides, don’t you recall inviting me?” He dropped the PaDD with the appointment on it onto the Governor’s desk. It had Halloway’s signature on it as if it had been done by hand. “Not bad, if I do say so myself.”

=31 Override: Shadow the room.= the computer chimed confirmation and all the blinds drew shut and the windows seemed to black out. Nicholas walked away and looked at the jet black glass. “Something I learned very early in my career was that each person has their own version of leverage. You, intimidation won’t work. It’s loss of control you’re afraid of. A phobia most recovered Borg share. This is my room. Even if you got a distress signal out, by the time security breaks down the door, I’ll have what I want.” He turned to face the Governor. “So, are we going to be civil about this? You’re really the closest thing to family I have, I’d hate for this to turn into a messy interrogation.”
