=^=Omni to Stout; do you have a moment to spare, sir?=^=

Having finished with the requested department notifications, she discovered there was one last one she needed to have done. Captain Stout. She pondered his response, understanding he was a fair man who did have a no-nonsense attitude. It was part of the reason she got along with him. However, she questioned whether or not he would be pleased to know Pikelsimer called to her instead of him. Although, she doubted it greatly. Information was information, no matter the source.

=/\= Sure thing, Commander. I’m in my office. =/\= came the response.

Stout, CO

=^=I will be there shortly, sir.=^=

‘Shortly’ happened to be a relative term. Luckily, for a woman of her nature, that term did not include any leisure idle along the way. Within minutes, as she was on another side of the shipyard, she had found her way to the Captain’s office. Adjusting the hem of her uniform, she pressed her hand to the chime, awaiting approval.

“Come in.” came the reply and the doors slid open. Stout was seated at his desk and looked up as the XO entered. “Take a seat, Commander.” and he looked down at his desk interface and said “I think we are going to be ok with regards to preparations for the inspection. And I see that all available systems are online. That’s good.” and then he looked up at her and said “But I don’t think that is why you are here. Something’s up. What is it?” he asked, his eyes looking directly at her.

Stout, CO

“While that is all of vast significance and appreciation to know, sir. No, that is not why I’m here.” Taking a seat, she kept her stance straightened and somewhat formal. Omni had never been the type to enlongate things. Thus, she got straight to the point.

“I have just come back from a meeting with the Police Chief. He informed me of some rather interesting facts,” She began, “To begin with, it would seem that we have an underlying issue. Chief Pikelsimer recently found out there was a murder. In response to this murder, he was given orders to figure out the basis behind it. However, the initial theory behind the cause, is treachery. As a response, Chief Pikelsimer will be conducting an investigation to determine the murderer, and, in response, capture them.” It was all basic information.

“However, that is only the background in formation. There is a catch, sir.” She did not wish to bombard him with information he couldn’t entirely process.

Stout chuckled and took a drink from his ever-present coffee mug. “Isn’t there always.” he said as he set the container on the desk. “So? What is the ‘catch’?” Inside Stout was swearing a blue streak. Outside, he just looked annoyed.

Stout, CO

“The assassin, the one Mister Pikelsimer is most concerned about, may be aboard this shipyard.” Omni laid down the fact, her face void of any actual emotion beyond simplicity. She didn’t say anything more, expecting some sort of emotional response from the CO.

Stout looked at her intently for a few moments and the took a drink of his coffee. Setting the mug down, he clasped his hands together on the desk and said in an almost unnervingly calm manner “I see. And who is this supposed assassin supposed to have murdered?”

Stout, CO

“A man of prestigious and high position within Federation Security. I do believe it was their director, sir. At least, that was what I read on the information that was given to me. However, I don’t believe this needs to go any further than you and I, for concern of striking fear in the crew.”
