(USS Exeter - CTO Office  - Sec. Officer Ensign Stan More &CTO/3O
Lieutenant Ravok - 0651)



Apart from some odd looks from off duty security guards. Stan still had no
idea what was going on. No one would tell him what had happened. But
judging by this amount of activity at this time of day in security.
Whatever was going on was major.



He was escorted into Ravoks office.



Ravok stood up when Stan entered.

" Good morning Ensign"

“ Good morning sir.” Stan said surprised at how serious Ravok looked.

Ravok sat down and motioned to the walls. " Everything said here is being
recorded. If at anytime you wish to say something off the record. You may
press that button right there to cease the recording process. " He said
pointing near Stans hand.

What was going on? This had all the makings of a………

“ Sir. Please. What’s going on?” Stan asked

" There has been a death on the Exeter." Ravok responded.

“ My goodness…..who sir?” Stan said.  He could not believe that on a ship
like the Exeter. Such a thing could happen.

" Commander Tyko Nix was found dead last night." Ravok said .

It was odd. His first reaction should have been satisfaction. That global
karma had finally caught up with Nix. But no. Instead he felt revulsion. No
one , no matter how much an SOB they were. Deserved to have their life
ended. Before their life had come to its natural end.

“ Of course sir I am one of the prime suspects. It’s no secret that we
almost came to blows. Plus I did threaten to leave him unconscious drooling
in a puddle of his own spitol. I fully understand sir.”

Ravok raised an eyebrow.

 " I never said it was murder. In fact the cause of death is still being
investigated."

“ I understand that sir. However technically you mentioned murder not I.But
it’s no secret Nix had a way about him. That unfortunately brought out the
worst in people. As he was released from Sickbay after the kidnapping
incident. Any health ending issues he suffered. Would have been addressed.
So the only option left is murder.” Stan said

" You are here because policy mandates that I interview the people who had
conversations with him, you are one of those people. Ensign. " Ravok
informed him.

“ Understood. I will fully cooperate. From when would you like to start? “
Stan asked

" Your implication of this being a murder is unfortunate, but not
surprising as the rumor mill has already started. What can you tell me
about your last conversation with the commander ? "  Ravok questioned.

Stan should not of mentioned murder. But the cop in him had come forward.
Only problem is perhaps they should of kept quiet. If Stan was not chief
suspect before he walked in. He was now.

“ He came up to us at the station. While we were relaxing at the Promenade
cafe.” Stan said

" Go on Ensign." Ravok said.

“ Lillian, my German Shepard puppy. If anything she had murderous thoughts
towards him.” Stan said

After a pause Stan continued.

“ We talked about the recent mission. Plus he asked about Lillian.. I was
trying to be nice to him. But Nix kept trying to turn the conversation into
an argument. I think he got angry I would not take the bait.” Stan said.

" I am sorry you had to endure that. For what it's worth I'm glad you
didn't act." Ravok said with a smile.

" I hope you understand you aren't a suspect ,this is simply an inquiry. I
watched the security file from starbase freedom. Everything you told me
matches up. With what I saw."

“ Thank you sir. Will this halt my bridge training?” Stan asked

Ravok shook his head. " No, not at all. You aren't guilty of anything."
Ravok said

~ So far ~ Stan thought

“ Och thank goodness.Yer had me worried sir.” Stan said

" It isn't like you acted on your thoughts Ensign. You held your
composure." Ravok said dropping a hint that he knew.

“ I suppose this means I canna help in the hunt for the killer?” Stan said

" For the time being this is a closed investigation. Policy doesn't allow
an interviewed person to help directly in the investigation. But you can
indirectly help by keeping your ear to the ground. If anything comes up ,
anything at all please let me know. Any piece is still a piece of the
puzzle."

“ I understood sir,” Stan replied
