<p class="MsoNormal">(USS Illuminar -- Ready Room – Chief of Security Lt (jn) Keung Lee- 1545)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Chief Lee stood outside Captain Sekel’s Ready Room. After his confrontation with the entity called Luma, he had some concerns..not least trying to understand the way she spoke in the third person but her attitude of treating the Illuminar
as her own..almost a god complex. He wanted to clarify the position with the Captain as to Luma’s position on the ship. The Captain agreed to met with Lee to discuss the confrontation that Lee had with Luma. He pressed the buzzer on the entry panel.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(reply Sekel)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lee entered the Ready Room to see the Captain standing by the view port by his desk. Lee stood to attention infront of the Captain’s desk.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Thank you for seeing me, Sir. As you probably heard by now, the entity known as Luma and myself had a confrontation about her role.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(reply)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“First of all, I want to apologise to Luma for offending her.” Said Lee thinking that Luma could hear! “It was not my intention to do that.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(reply)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“I do have some concerns with regarding Luma’s involvement on this ship. Correct me if I am wrong but is Luma persona linked in with the ship’s systems and who is she accountable to in the chain of command. I’m not really clear about
what she means by her father on the Hades”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(reply)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“I understand that Luma’s have some defensive capabilities to protect this ship and the crew? So I would like clarification on how she can protect this ship in the event of a boarding action or in the possible event of the ship being
captured. Would she do this on her own authority or act on the orders of a command officer?. You see what I am worried about and what comes to mind is that Luma will make her own decisions without consulting someone…a ‘loose cannon’ “ said Lee. Then for
good measure. “A loose cannon is an Earth expression meaning an unpredictable or uncontrolled being who is liable to cause unintentional damage.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A number of thoughts went through Lee’s mind to references of typical loose cannons reference in old movies such as the military man in Dr Strangelove and ,HAL in 2001 Space Odyssey
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“You see. I am concerned that if she fell into enemy hands, she could be radicalised or turned against Starfleet interests. There has to be some control over her. Dare I go to say there maybe similarities to a Q ” Maybe she is a Q.
Lee felt goosebumps at the mere thought that Luma could be a Q.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“She make an ideal accomplishment when it to do with Security operations..a defensive or offensive weapon” said Lee</p>
