Buttered Scones are Listening

Posted on Mon Aug 11th, 2014 @ 9:34pm by Lieutenant Commander Jennifer Stanson & Captain Enalia Telvan

Mission: Something Amiss
Location: Intel Offices
Timeline: MD1

Enalia knew better than to be wandering into the intel offices unannounced, but that's exactly what she was doing. She only hoped Commander Stanson wasn't too busy to talk about their new civilian crewmember, what with the imminent launch. Pressing the door chime, She waited for a response.

Jennifer sat behind her desk, her monitor was open to an Intelligence report given to her by the Rear Admiral. As the chime rang she quickly put the monitor to rest as she was not sure who was at the door. "Enter." she said to whoever was at the door.

Opening the door and stepping through, Enalia looked around the office before sitting in the chair across from the other woman. "You're settling in well enough, I hope. We've got a lot of work planned for you."

Jennifer smiled as she saw her new Commanding Officer enter the room. "It sure seems so." she told Commander Telvan. "I've been fully briefed by Starfleet Intelligence and I have even more information coming to me as we speak."

"Excellent. Maybe we'll get something useful." Sitting in one of the chairs, Enalia settled into it uncomfortably. "I've enlisted the aid of a civilian. I need you to look up what you can on a Nexi with the Ferengi Trade Alliance."

"A civilian...." Jennifer mumbled. "Why the Ferengi Alliance.....?" she asked. "To be honest, I am shocked and a bit disturbed that a civilian, whom I know nothing about, will be entrusted with the information pertaining to our mission. She will most likely sell that information to the highest bidder if given the chance."

Nodding at the objections, Enalia did her best to counter them. "Which is where you come in. Keep a close eye on her. If there's any sign of duplicity or trouble, I want her in the brig and the doctor's surgery preparing for a memory wipe. In the mean time, we don't have an infiltration specialist and if we hadn't been watching the man she was after as well as taking on some illicit cargo, i doubt we would have caught her in the act. She's a viable asset that was likely expected by someone deeper in your line of work and I plan to make use of her."

"Fine," Jennifer said, "But if I have to babysit then I want her to only have access to need to know information, what she needs to know will be up to me. Once we leave orbit all outgoing communication will be restricted and will have to go through both of us."

"Agreed." Enalia was going to make sure that happened anyway, but now was as good a time as any. "I gave her the basic briefing as well as a bit of info on the operative. She looked rather shocked when she saw that and agreed to finally dock. I want to know why."

"I'll find out." Jennifer told her Captain. "I would like to meet Nexi, where are her quarters?" she asked, she wanted to keep this civilian close to make sure she wasn't poking her nose where is doesn't belong.

"Guest quarters 3, the ones with the extra internal sensors." Enalia replied. "After you speak with her, let me know your thoughts on if she's as good as I think she is."

"Aye." Jennifer said nodding to Enalia. "Was there anything else you wished to speak to me about?" she asked most eager to speak to this new addition to her department. She did have her doubts about this mercenary especially since Jennifer would be the one to take care her.

"No, that's it today. Be sure to keep Lt Fairchild in the loop. She knows the security of the ship better than possibly even me." Enalia said with a bit of a smile. "You look busy enough without me getting in your way so I'll leave you to it. Good luck!" she called as she stood and walked out of the office.

Jennifer re opened the report that she was reading before and began thinking about the what the future has in store for their mission.
