(USS Illuminar—Deck 15 – Security office— Chief of Security Lt jn Keung Lee 1715)

Lee stared out into the blackness of space as he reflected on the recent death of his officers, ensign Francois Picard. He was killed in leading a boarding party to regain the capture of the Freighter Edmund Fitzgerald a couple of days ago.  He had fallen victim to what was described as the redshirt effect.  This tended to manifest itself as increased clumsiness, bad luck, and a general tendency to get in the way of Murphy law – repeatedly.  Lee read the after action report that it seems according to his teammates that Picard alone took on the Marauders by himself instead of waiting for support from his teammates.   “He proved his worth!” said one trooper.  “a crazy hero” said another.  Lee decided he recommend to the captain that Picard should be given a posthumous award with the following statement  “For conspicuous gallantry and unyielding courage in the face of overwhelming enemy forces in the defence of his team.”   Under his watch, Lee had lost two security officers, if you count former Security Officer, Penny McTaggard who was killed by her dog and, of course, Picard.  One thing Lee had learned is not to take anything too personally. After all, the final responsibility of any actions fell on their security officers. it was not Lee’s job to ‘babysit’ his team members.  Lee chuckled at the thought of ‘babysitting’ a Klingon.  The death of Picard was sad and those were who friends with Picard would be grieving.  He offered anyone who was directly affected to see a counsellor. Lee tried not get close to anyone who served under him especially his own security officers.

Lee’s thoughts were interrupted by his comm buzzing. It was the Captain.

"Lieutenant Lee."

“Yes, Captain. What can I do for you” said Lee

"I have just made an adjustment to the duty roster of which you need to be made aware. Lieutenant Trei has been moved from the Counseling department to fill a specialized role in Security."

A counsellor!  What on earth do I need a shrink on the team for?  Thought Lee.  “What would Lieutenant Trei..specialism would be?”  He couldn’t possibly think how a counsellor would be useful for a Security team.

"In essence a profiler and consultant to Security on matters involving infiltration, deception, interrogations and any matters involving or necessitating the use of empathy or telepathy."

A number of thoughts went through Lee of how a profiler would fit in within a security environment.   A sort of specialised intelligence officer and analysist.  Such a person would be invaluable to support the Security department.

“I look forward to working with Lieutenant Trei in these matters.” Said Lee

"I understand there will be some extensive settling in and definition concerning her new duties but she is highly qualified in these areas, I have made use of her abilities in the past and anticipate doing so again in the future. She understands she will be working under your authority and has been instructed to report to you at 0800. If you have any further questions or concerns I anticipate being available for the next half hour if you wish to meet with me.

“No sir. I don’t have any questions or concerns.  I will see Lieutenant Trei at 0800 and we can discuss further her role.” Said Lee.
