Mission: For Honor<br>
Day: 04<br>
Stardate: 2446.04.29<br>
<br>
(USS Illuminar - Deck 4 Officers Lounge - a1/O CMDR Dieter Gregory -
2005)<br>
<br>
After Leeza had made her untimely appearance when Aggie showed up, the
three had shared an early dinner until the good doctor had to leave to
address the autopsy on the dead crewman. Gregory had spent some time
with Leeza before taking her back to the Hammonds. <br>
<br>
Knowing that Aggie would be occupied for a while longer, he headed to
the Officers Lounge. Grabbing a table by the window, he glanced out at
the scene. Stars... ships.. Qo'Nos. He nodded as a mug of tea was dropped
on his table. <br>
<br>
Gregory absently read the reports on the repairs ongoing on the ship.
Lieutenant Pex was doing a good job prioritizing the response and things
were moving along. He made some notes and sent those along to his team
to follow up on the information Engineering was sending along, and to
check the supplies being used for the repairs. He's hate to have to
recommend an early resupply stop, but initial estimates said yes, they
would need resupply. <br>
<br>
He sent secure inquiries to both Kolarus III and Archanis IV. Star
Fleet kept some supply centers near the Klingon border, just in case
they were needed, but if this treaty was successful, who knows what would
happen to them. <br>
<br>
Sipping his tea, he sat back, wondering how Michael was making out on
the surface. No news is good news, so they say. <br>
<br>
A message flashed onto his PADD and his Comm badge chirpped. =^=<font
face="arial, sans-serif">Lieutenant Pex to Commander Dieter. I
just sent you an encrypted report about the fire suppression systems.
Ensign Zowie made some progress and it's troubling. I thought you
should know what she's found, even if it's not complete.=^=<br>
<br>
Gregory tapped his com badge, "Thank you Mr. Pex. Meet me in my office
in 30 minutes."<br>
<br>
(Reply Pex)<br>
<br>
Gregory decrypted the report and read it through twice. A frown came to
his face. Here was the second confirmation. Even if not complete. It
was time. <br>
<br>
Standing up, he left the O-club and headed to the bridge. <br>
<br>
(USS Illuminar - Deck 1 - Bridge - a1/O CMDR Dieter Gregory - 2015)<br>
<br>
Gregory stepped onto the bridge, and as was his tradition, checked the
MSD before heading to the center. "Commander Solice," he said formally,
as he handed his PADD over to her. "You need to see this, " he said. <br>
<br>
(Reply Solice)<br>
<br>
"Indeed," he said as he watched her read. "This is second
confirmation," he added. "We are meeting in my office in 20 minutes. I
would like you there."<br>
<br>
(Reply Solice)<br>
<br>
"Very good," he replied. <br>
<br>
(USS Illuminar - Deck 2 - COps Office - a1/O CMDR Dieter Gregory - 2035)<br>
<br>
Gregory read the report again, and reviewed what Michael and Leeza had
discovered. The data was conclusive as the Ensign Zowie had used a
different approach to the problem, but the data intersected. Applying
Occam's razor to the data lead to the unsavory conclusion. <br>
<br>
He waited till Quinna and Lieutenant Pex were in the room. "Computer,"
he said, "Secure this room." <br>
<br>
=^= Acknowledge. Room is secure=^= came the response. <br>
<br>
"You both have the information that Ensign Zowie generated," he said
handing them each a PADD. "This is the information that Mr. Weston and
Leeza Pel generated earlier in the day. I'll give you a minute to read
it."<br>
<br>
He sat back and took a sip of his tea.<br>
<br>
"I sent Weston to the surface because of what he discovered, and now we
have second confirmation. We have a traitor in the Diplomatic corp."<br>
<br>
