Pikelsimer took a deep breath and clenched his metallic hand into a fist and then hit the desk top he currently sat behind. He knew he would eventually have to have this conversation with someone on board, but the Executive Officer…?

He jabbed the comms icon on the screen and said =/\= Chief of Police to Executive Officer. Meet me in my office asap. =/\=

Pikelsimer, PC

=^=On my way, Chief.=^=

Omni was undoubtedly curious and concerned as to what this was about. Rising to her feet she disregarded the researching she had been doing on one of their recent projects. Slipping from the room, she made her way towards the Police Chief’s Office, pausing just in front of it. Raising a biomechanical hand, she pressed her finger to the chime, awaiting response from the Chief, should he have remained in the office.

“Yeah.” came the prototypical gruff and terse voice from behind the door and it slid open. Pikelsimer was seated behind a desk and looked up as the XO stood in the doorway said “Come on in, Commander. I think you and I need to have a chat.”

The gruff nature of his voice offered minimal surprise to her, while she stepped from the threshold and into the Chief’s office. “Go on.” She stated, blandly, her hands finding themselves behind the small of her back. She stood silently before his desk, raising an eyebrow.

Pikelsimer looked down at his desk interface and said “Have a seat, Commander. This is more for your benefit than mine.” and he pulled up a file and downloaded it onto a PaDD and then slid the PaDD across the desk to her. On it was a report from Federation Security, what some considered the utmost law enforcement arm of the Federation; and what some referred to as ‘The Secret Police’. It read as follows:

Subject: Operation Killjoy

Purpose: To infiltrate pirate and smuggling operations on the edge of Federation space in order to facilitate the gathering of intelligence on criminal activity and possible threats to Federation holdings.

Mission Objectives:
1. Gain the cooperation of existing mid-level members of established criminal organizations and groups via bribery, extortion, or threat of incarceration (hereby referred to as ‘Confidential Informants’, or ‘CI’).

1. Use the above to insert undercover Federation Security operatives into said organizations and groups.

2. Utilize intel garnered by undercover agents to prevent criminal activities and bring charges against the leadership of the above organizations or groups.

Framework:

All Agents and CI’s will report to a district Federation Security Agent with regular reports on activities and planning. The timelessness of these reports will be established by the District Agent and the operatives, and will not be divulged to prevent compromising the above.

The length of the operation will be no less than two years, with the possibility of extension to be determined by Federation Security General Counsel and the overseeing Senate Committee.

Identities of Agents and CI’s participating in Operation Killjoy will be kept secret from all personnel save those in direct oversight of field operations.

All participants will be vetted and approved by Operational Agent In Charge.

All intel garnered by Operation Killjoy will be vetted for accuracy before being disseminated for response planning.

Any change to operational protocols will come from Operational Agent In Charge.

At the conclusion of the operation, all participants will be debriefed and transferred away from operational areas to ensure their safety. If necessary, participants will be placed in Federation Witness Protection.

The file continued on with operational particulars for logistics, communications, and the like for a little while; much of it redacted; but the end paragraph read:

Operational Staff will be as follows:

Chair of Oversight Committee: Gran Hulkha, Federation Senator
Federation Security Liaison to Oversight Committee: Francine McCormack, Federation Security Senior Agent
Operational Agent In Charge: Special Agent Micah J. Pickelsimer, Federation Security Special Operations

“You are an undercover operative working to ensure that any and all criminal activity is inhibited by the solution of infiltration and intelligence retrieval?” She inquired, making sense of what she had just read. Quirking a brow, she set the PaDD back on to the table, considering the man for several seconds. “I am assuming your recent capture of the Orion Pirate —or so it appears that is his position— is a single step to completing and accomplishing these purposes and views?”

Omni assumed the current Federation prisoner was intended to be used as a method of gaining inside information regarding the current state of criminal organizations. She found the Operation to be fascinating, however, could not accurately determine whether or not it was necessary. For, she could argue both sides of that battle. Clearing her mind, azure eyes returned to focus upon Micha, waiting for a response of some sort. As astounding as his revelation could have been, Omni found herself in a state of utmost curiosity in regards to the sudden knowledge of this ‘secret’ operations.

“Now you get why I was so… well, let’s say ‘irritated’… by the little exchange you and the Security Chief had?” and then he caught himself. “I mean… ‘former’ Security Chief. If you check your roster, he’s been relived. Effective immediately. I think his shuttle just left, actually.” he said flatly. He hated to see Decker hauled away, especially when he really didn’t do anything other than get over-zealous with his instincts. But as soon a Pikelsimer had reported the breach, FedSec had dispatched a runabout and had transfer orders for the Major. At least Pikelsimer got him a cushy spot as a liaison officer on Rigel IV. “And the true nature of my job here is, as of right now anyway, known only to you and me. Not even Stout knows. I’m letting you know because you seemed to have a bit more curiosity about what was happening, and I don’t want you to go asking questions that may lead to more questions and such. And, as former SF Intelligence, you know the meaning behind what I’m doing better than a bunch of egg-head Engineers… Really good egg-head Engineers, mind you. But their expertise doesn’t really translate to this.” And he paused, trying to read the XO’s body language.

“The guy in lockup is supposed to be in lockup. He has to give me his report. He really is a pirate, though. Mean one at that. But I got a little… leverage… on him, so he works for me. But I can’t have a bunch of Fleet officers trying to strong arm him and bringing more attention to his current… confinement. So. Think you can back off a bit and let me do my work? Or do we need to have a sit down with the Old Man and throw two years of work in the garbage? Your call.”
