*Terry and the expedition follow along... Terry himself has not been back in San Fransisco since the day of the invasion and flight... For him wandering here again looking at the ruins of the city reminds him of thoughts he had not thought about in a long time. Sia is ever watchful, as are her people, Casval is looking on stoically, cold stoicism, Marshal is the only one that is in awe at the ruins. Falli himself is buried in his tricorder and drones he is sending out to scavenge what is left.*
Marshall: What happened here?
Terry: The Elibisi invasion happened. *They step over rubble on the broken streets...*
Marshall: Did the Federation fight them with anything?
Terry: We did... We had at least 7 whole fleets here, we were thinking that it was the Romulans trying to launch a sneak invasion. However, it turned out that assumption was wrong. I was only a Captain then... an aide to an Admiral. The Elibisi broke through the fleet in a matter of minutes. You could see the battle over head and wreckage from the ships raining down, with invasion forces.
*He points to scorched circular marking on the ground. Then wreckage of a starship.*
That is the remnants of a Daedalus class cruiser.
Casval: Why was the Federation so ill prepared?
Terry: Disbelief as to the existence of the Elibisi and a mixture of arrogance.
Marshall: How much of the fleets did the Federation lose?
Terry: Bright told me and Reynolds that they had to sacrifice two whole fleets to fall back the Andromeda fleets where already enroute and were diverted to the Klingon border. Overall, it was the worst defeat in the history of Starfleet and in a lot of history. The Milky Way fleets were tattered and had to scatter into Republic space.
Marshall: The Admirals were fools then...
Terry: I am not going to disagree with that, but I won't do it here...
Casval: How long has it been since you were here last?
Terry: Well over 20 years...
Lets go... the Academy grounds are up ahead.
*As they advance, they hear nothing from with in burned out buildings as some rubble shifts..*
Ooc: trying to think of something to do with the star fleet academy bit
*OOC: Take your time... I think it should be an interesting bit to see with all that wreckage. A city, countless starships debris raining down, Elibisi firing on what defenses were on the ground, so I dunno... I do want to tackle some things that are not the usual we have done before. *
*The expedition is crossing through a wreckage of a burned out cafe... *
Terry: Went there more than once when I was at the academy, and while I was stationed here.
*He knows Casval is not really paying attention but he does notice that Marshall is trying to read him.*
Marshall: So your...
Casval: Your Half brother of a sorts? You could call it that.
Marshall: You do not seem bemused by this..
Casval: I do not know you, I also do not know why you are here.
Marshall: That was sort of an accident given I was in a fire fight...
Casval: Some foolish notion of taking something back that was taken from you?
Marshall: That is right! That throne is mine by right of birth. Not that swine.
Casval: *snorts* Well forgive me brother... it seems you do not have the backing you need for such a feat. Besides do you even know how to rule or lead?
Marshall: I...
Casval: Of course not. I suggest you stop for a moment and consider your options...
*he continues following the group...*
Marshall: What options are those? *to himself...*
*In the set up community James Jr... is surrounded by many astonished that they finally met the son of the Mahdi...*
James Jr: This attention is something I dunno how to react to.
Ghani: Well Ensign... it is expected, your father got us out of the thumb of the leadership that kept us on the planet.
James Jr: True... though I do have a question...
Ghani: What is it?
James Jr: Did you join Starfleet to serve my father or explain that reasoning as I...
Ghani: You want to know why? *she smirks* What is so confusing about serving others?
James Jr: Nothing *having got his answer there.* I think you made it quite clear.
Ghani: Well considering that we are going to be here for some time... How about we pick up from where we left off.
*She shifts herself on the cushion in the prefab seat. *
James Jr: *lets a small laugh out...* What are you curious about?
Ghani: How did you feel seeing your godmother again.?
James Jr: It felt good. Just wish we had more time. *He touches his temporary eye patch rubbing it to settle an itch.
Ghani: That is good. It might help you to be around people that do care about you.
James Jr: * his one good eye shifting away from Ghani's eyes* Yeah probably...
Ghani: Something else on your mind?
James Jr: I tried contacting my twin sister... I thought she would feel on that twin connection we have. Apparently not..
Ghani: Maybe she was busy?
James Jr: Maybe... though maybe trying to reach out was a mistake. Our last talk did not end that well. At least before I got blown the *** up...
Ghani: I sense something happened before the bombing?
James Jr: Yeah... *he looks at the ground... pained.*
Ghani: Take your time James... don't push it out unless you feel you want to.
James Jr: *snorts a small laugh*
Ghani: *looking at him trying to figure out what was so funny...* What is so funny...
James Jr: Nothing... just purile humor. *trying to hold back a chuckle..*
Ghani: There is that deflection again.
James Jr: I dunno really how to explain it.
Ghani: Well try anyway... how bad could it be...
*The Doctor is in the back of the building trying to get a grasp on the healing practices of the tribe and the tools.*
James Jr: Well me and Cassi had a particularly intense relationship... she knew me and accepted me for who I was. Though, I knew that we had disagreements politically and philosophically...but I did not expect that she knew dissidents...
Ghani: Go on..
James Jr: Thing about me and her was that she did not mind if my eyes wavered to other women, she found that oddly fun. As long as nothing serious came of it. Well before the bombing... we came across a wrecked Federation ship, and its only survivor Sala...
Ghani: Cassi did not like Sala did she?
James Jr: No she didn't saw her as competition... and probably sees something that I do not. But after some time Sala wanted to talk and she had some trouble letting go of the idea that her crewmates died...
Ghani: So... did your eye waver?
James Jr: They did admittedly... but I did not act on it. Sala just wanted some company. She drank herself to sleep after talking...
*he looks at his stump... almost ashamed.*
Well the following morning.. Cassi found out, Casval found out, Mila found out... It got heated. I said something rather harsh because my own twin sister did not trust me to not be a complete dog.
Ghani: Does anyone else know that nothing happened?
James Jr: Casval... I think does. I dunno what happened though over the last year...
Ghani: *feeling some pity for him* I am sorry...
James Jr: Its not your fault... If anything it was sort of mine, for fostering that kind of image I have.
Ghani: Maybe... but you did do the right thing.
James Jr: The bombing happened not too long later... that is all I really remember happening...
*He keeps what he recalls from his accidental trip in the veil to himself.*
Ghani: *Not really catching on to that..redaction..* How does that make you feel?
James Jr: Betrayed... angry... sad... now that Cassi is dead... It just amplifies it.
*The Doctor in the back grumbles about something interrupting the impromptu session..*

Casval: Your Half brother of a sorts? You could call it that.
Marshall: You do not seem bemused by this..
Casval: I do not know you, I also do not know why you are here.
Marshall: That was sort of an accident given I was in a fire fight...
Casval: Some foolish notion of taking something back that was taken from you?
Marshall: That is right! That throne is mine by right of birth. Not that swine.
Casval: *snorts* Well forgive me brother... it seems you do not have the backing you need for such a feat. Besides do you even know how to rule or lead?
Marshall: I...
Casval: Of course not. I suggest you stop for a moment and consider your options...
*he continues following the group...*
Marshall: What options are those? *to himself...*
*In the set up community James Jr... is surrounded by many astonished that they finally met the son of the Mahdi...*
James Jr: This attention is something I dunno how to react to.
Ghani: Well Ensign... it is expected, your father got us out of the thumb of the leadership that kept us on the planet.
James Jr: True... though I do have a question...
Ghani: What is it?
James Jr: Did you join Starfleet to serve my father or explain that reasoning as I...
Ghani: You want to know why? *she smirks* What is so confusing about serving others?
James Jr: Nothing *having got his answer there.* I think you made it quite clear.
Ghani: Well considering that we are going to be here for some time... How about we pick up from where we left off.
*She shifts herself on the cushion in the prefab seat. *
James Jr: *lets a small laugh out...* What are you curious about?
Ghani: How did you feel seeing your godmother again.?
James Jr: It felt good. Just wish we had more time. *He touches his temporary eye patch rubbing it to settle an itch.
Ghani: That is good. It might help you to be around people that do care about you.
James Jr: * his one good eye shifting away from Ghani's eyes* Yeah probably...
Ghani: Something else on your mind?
James Jr: I tried contacting my twin sister... I thought she would feel on that twin connection we have. Apparently not..
Ghani: Maybe she was busy?
James Jr: Maybe... though maybe trying to reach out was a mistake. Our last talk did not end that well. At least before I got blown the *** up...
Ghani: I sense something happened before the bombing?
James Jr: Yeah... *he looks at the ground... pained.*
Ghani: Take your time James... don't push it out unless you feel you want to.
James Jr: *snorts a small laugh*
Ghani: *looking at him trying to figure out what was so funny...* What is so funny...
James Jr: Nothing... just purile humor. *trying to hold back a chuckle..*
Ghani: There is that deflection again.
James Jr: I dunno really how to explain it.
Ghani: Well try anyway... how bad could it be...
*The Doctor is in the back of the building trying to get a grasp on the healing practices of the tribe and the tools.*
James Jr: Well me and Cassi had a particularly intense relationship... she knew me and accepted me for who I was. Though, I knew that we had disagreements politically and philosophically...but I did not expect that she knew dissidents...
Ghani: Go on..
James Jr: Thing about me and her was that she did not mind if my eyes wavered to other women, she found that oddly fun. As long as nothing serious came of it. Well before the bombing... we came across a wrecked Federation ship, and its only survivor Sala...
Ghani: Cassi did not like Sala did she?
James Jr: No she didn't saw her as competition... and probably sees something that I do not. But after some time Sala wanted to talk and she had some trouble letting go of the idea that her crewmates died...
Ghani: So... did your eye waver?
James Jr: They did admittedly... but I did not act on it. Sala just wanted some company. She drank herself to sleep after talking...
*he looks at his stump... almost ashamed.*
Well the following morning.. Cassi found out, Casval found out, Mila found out... It got heated. I said something rather harsh because my own twin sister did not trust me to not be a complete dog.
Ghani: Does anyone else know that nothing happened?
James Jr: Casval... I think does. I dunno what happened though over the last year...
Ghani: *feeling some pity for him* I am sorry...
James Jr: Its not your fault... If anything it was sort of mine, for fostering that kind of image I have.
Ghani: Maybe... but you did do the right thing.
James Jr: The bombing happened not too long later... that is all I really remember happening...
*He keeps what he recalls from his accidental trip in the veil to himself.*
Ghani: *Not really catching on to that..redaction..* How does that make you feel?
James Jr: Betrayed... angry... sad... now that Cassi is dead... It just amplifies it.
*The Doctor in the back grumbles about something interrupting the impromptu session..*
Doctor: This medicine is...illogical. On so many levels.
Ghani: Is it the medicine man routine that bugs you sir? Old ways are sometimes hard to break for some.
*OOC: God its hot here. Reminds me of that summer I did two football practices a day, with helmet, then full gear. whew.... *
*OOC: Oh, try it here in East Anglia. With the exception of about 10 minutes of rain, we have had no rainfall for over a month now! In Britain! Usually we're lucky if we go a week without rainfall!*
Doctor: I was referring more to the chemical composition.
*OOC: Pretty sure my neck of the woods in the states is still pretty parched after three months. Not to mention 105-109 F for now the third day... Though the air conditioning I have does not cool the entire house. *
Ghani: Ah yes... Do go on Doctor... What exactly were you looking for?
*OOC: Okay, that's rough. The highest we've had was about the 30C mark for about a week-and-a-half.*
Doctor: This medicine appears to seek to remedy bacterial infections by burning it off?! And this...*he points to a bowl of oil being boiled on a stove* is supposed to cauterise wounds! The pain and nervous damage would be extreme.
Ooc: trying to think of something to do with the star fleet academy bit
*OOC: Take your time... I think it should be an interesting bit to see with all that wreckage. A city, countless starships debris raining down, Elibisi firing on what defenses were on the ground, so I dunno... I do want to tackle some things that are not the usual we have done before. *
*The expedition is crossing through a wreckage of a burned out cafe... *
Terry: Went there more than once when I was at the academy, and while I was stationed here.

Casval: Falli what are we looking for exactly?
Falli: Right now Starfleet Command, if the building still stands.
Casval: Why so secretive?
Falli: I keep forgetting that you are your father's son. We are looking for Starfleet Intelligence... and maybe Starfleet Medical facility. They may have something there that might come in handy... Not to mention Starfleet wants to catalogue the damage done to the facility...
*As they proceed something watches them proceed through, no one really went through this place in years. They soon find old dead husks... Casval is unnerved as are the younger Innotankan scouts..*

Ghani: Speaking of... If the expression is correct... James... Those feelings are normal. You also never got that closure as things are moving fairly quickly.
James Jr: How would I do that right now?
Ghani: I could ask the Shaman... See how they would proceed with such a thing, though we will need a box of her stuff at least.

Ghani: I need a box filled with Cassi's stuff.
Sasha: Okay... I could talk to the Security Chief to release those affects, probably her uniforms.
What did you have in mind?
Ghani: It is more of a therapy for James to close his feelings on the matter. I don't think James wants to bother anyone with it.
Sasha: *narrows her eyes trying to size up what is really going through her head. * I don't see why not. I will ask...
*OOC: Pretty sure I did not have a security chief on the ship right now. *
Ooc: trying to think of something to do with the star fleet academy bit
*OOC: Take your time... I think it should be an interesting bit to see with all that wreckage. A city, countless starships debris raining down, Elibisi firing on what defenses were on the ground, so I dunno... I do want to tackle some things that are not the usual we have done before. *
*The expedition is crossing through a wreckage of a burned out cafe... *
Terry: Went there more than once when I was at the academy, and while I was stationed here.
*He knows Casval is not really paying attention but he does notice that Marshall is trying to read him.*
Marshall: So your...
Casval: Your Half brother of a sorts? You could call it that.
Marshall: You do not seem bemused by this..
Casval: I do not know you, I also do not know why you are here.
Marshall: That was sort of an accident given I was in a fire fight...
Casval: Some foolish notion of taking something back that was taken from you?
Marshall: That is right! That throne is mine by right of birth. Not that swine.
Casval: *snorts* Well forgive me brother... it seems you do not have the backing you need for such a feat. Besides do you even know how to rule or lead?
Marshall: I...
Casval: Of course not. I suggest you stop for a moment and consider your options...
*he continues following the group...*
Marshall: What options are those? *to himself...*
*In the set up community James Jr... is surrounded by many astonished that they finally met the son of the Mahdi...*
James Jr: This attention is something I dunno how to react to.
Ghani: Well Ensign... it is expected, your father got us out of the thumb of the leadership that kept us on the planet.
James Jr: True... though I do have a question...
Ghani: What is it?
James Jr: Did you join Starfleet to serve my father or explain that reasoning as I...
Ghani: You want to know why? *she smirks* What is so confusing about serving others?
James Jr: Nothing *having got his answer there.* I think you made it quite clear.
Ghani: Well considering that we are going to be here for some time... How about we pick up from where we left off.
*She shifts herself on the cushion in the prefab seat. *
James Jr: *lets a small laugh out...* What are you curious about?
Ghani: How did you feel seeing your godmother again.?
James Jr: It felt good. Just wish we had more time. *He touches his temporary eye patch rubbing it to settle an itch.
Ghani: That is good. It might help you to be around people that do care about you.
James Jr: * his one good eye shifting away from Ghani's eyes* Yeah probably...
Ghani: Something else on your mind?
James Jr: I tried contacting my twin sister... I thought she would feel on that twin connection we have. Apparently not..
Ghani: Maybe she was busy?
James Jr: Maybe... though maybe trying to reach out was a mistake. Our last talk did not end that well. At least before I got blown the *** up...
Ghani: I sense something happened before the bombing?
James Jr: Yeah... *he looks at the ground... pained.*
Ghani: Take your time James... don't push it out unless you feel you want to.
James Jr: *snorts a small laugh*
Ghani: *looking at him trying to figure out what was so funny...* What is so funny...
James Jr: Nothing... just purile humor. *trying to hold back a chuckle..*
Ghani: There is that deflection again.
James Jr: I dunno really how to explain it.
Ghani: Well try anyway... how bad could it be...
*The Doctor is in the back of the building trying to get a grasp on the healing practices of the tribe and the tools.*
James Jr: Well me and Cassi had a particularly intense relationship... she knew me and accepted me for who I was. Though, I knew that we had disagreements politically and philosophically...but I did not expect that she knew dissidents...
Ghani: Go on..
James Jr: Thing about me and her was that she did not mind if my eyes wavered to other women, she found that oddly fun. As long as nothing serious came of it. Well before the bombing... we came across a wrecked Federation ship, and its only survivor Sala...
Ghani: Cassi did not like Sala did she?
James Jr: No she didn't saw her as competition... and probably sees something that I do not. But after some time Sala wanted to talk and she had some trouble letting go of the idea that her crewmates died...
Ghani: So... did your eye waver?
James Jr: They did admittedly... but I did not act on it. Sala just wanted some company. She drank herself to sleep after talking...
*he looks at his stump... almost ashamed.*
Well the following morning.. Cassi found out, Casval found out, Mila found out... It got heated. I said something rather harsh because my own twin sister did not trust me to not be a complete dog.
Ghani: Does anyone else know that nothing happened?
James Jr: Casval... I think does. I dunno what happened though over the last year...
Ghani: *feeling some pity for him* I am sorry...
James Jr: Its not your fault... If anything it was sort of mine, for fostering that kind of image I have.
Ghani: Maybe... but you did do the right thing.
James Jr: The bombing happened not too long later... that is all I really remember happening...
*He keeps what he recalls from his accidental trip in the veil to himself.*
Ghani: *Not really catching on to that..redaction..* How does that make you feel?
James Jr: Betrayed... angry... sad... now that Cassi is dead... It just amplifies it.
*The Doctor in the back grumbles about something interrupting the impromptu session..*
Doctor: This medicine is...illogical. On so many levels.
Ghani: Is it the medicine man routine that bugs you sir? Old ways are sometimes hard to break for some.
*OOC: God its hot here. Reminds me of that summer I did two football practices a day, with helmet, then full gear. whew.... *
*OOC: Oh, try it here in East Anglia. With the exception of about 10 minutes of rain, we have had no rainfall for over a month now! In Britain! Usually we're lucky if we go a week without rainfall!*
Doctor: I was referring more to the chemical composition.
*OOC: Pretty sure my neck of the woods in the states is still pretty parched after three months. Not to mention 105-109 F for now the third day... Though the air conditioning I have does not cool the entire house. *
Ghani: Ah yes... Do go on Doctor... What exactly were you looking for?
*OOC: Okay, that's rough. The highest we've had was about the 30C mark for about a week-and-a-half.*
Doctor: This medicine appears to seek to remedy bacterial infections by burning it off?! And this...*he points to a bowl of oil being boiled on a stove* is supposed to cauterise wounds! The pain and nervous damage would be extreme.
Ghani: Yes, ways do change Doctor... I am sure the Shaman would find it an interesting talk, we also did not have much to work with including advanced technology. It is why there are still cast out that want to preserve the old ways... At least as much as I can recall from what my father told me. Integration will take its time despite resistance.
James Jr: I seem to recall Doctor McCoy a couple centuries ago ranting about 20th century medicine.. Calling it I recall The Spanish Inquisition. If I recall the logs right.
*There is a small snicker.*
Ghani: Doctor, before we left the ship what had you and Falli abuzz...?
*The expedition's drones are scanning through the ship wrecks and debris... Falli connected to them via retinal connection. *
Casval: Falli what are we looking for exactly?
Falli: Right now Starfleet Command, if the building still stands.
Casval: Why so secretive?
Falli: I keep forgetting that you are your father's son. We are looking for Starfleet Intelligence... and maybe Starfleet Medical facility. They may have something there that might come in handy... Not to mention Starfleet wants to catalogue the damage done to the facility...
*As they proceed something watches them proceed through, no one really went through this place in years. They soon find old dead husks... Casval is unnerved as are the younger Innotankan scouts..*
Terry: Long dead. They do not pose a threat, though keep your eyes open and stay alert. We don't know what is out here now.
James Jr: I guess I will have to contain my surprise Doctor. Can't be worse than the one I got when I woke up...
Ghani: Speaking of... If the expression is correct... James... Those feelings are normal. You also never got that closure as things are moving fairly quickly.
James Jr: How would I do that right now?
Ghani: I could ask the Shaman... See how they would proceed with such a thing, though we will need a box of her stuff at least.
James Jr: *He looks down with his one good eye... * Thanks.
*On the Enterprise... Rekas and his brother are off duty in the recreation lounge... *

Sasha: I wonder how James is doing...
Alvin: He will be okay... in time probably.
Sasha: It does make me wonder if the family will do a...
Demora: I dunno why... She did cause his condition, and killed a good number of people. *She is fairly irritated at the mention of Cassi.*
Sasha: Still Demora... we still should say goodbye despite what she did.
Alvin: I dunno.
*Sasha receives a comm link...*
Sasha: Hmm... *she taps the holographic interface on her wrist.*

Marshall: What happened here?
Terry: The Elibisi invasion happened. *They step over rubble on the broken streets...*
Marshall: Did the Federation fight them with anything?
Terry: We did... We had at least 7 whole fleets here, we were thinking that it was the Romulans trying to launch a sneak invasion. However, it turned out that assumption was wrong. I was only a Captain then... an aide to an Admiral. The Elibisi broke through the fleet in a matter of minutes. You could see the battle over head and wreckage from the ships raining down, with invasion forces.
*He points to scorched circular marking on the ground. Then wreckage of a starship.*
That is the remnants of a Daedalus class cruiser.
Casval: Why was the Federation so ill prepared?
Terry: Disbelief as to the existence of the Elibisi and a mixture of arrogance.
Marshall: How much of the fleets did the Federation lose?
Terry: Bright told me and Reynolds that they had to sacrifice two whole fleets to fall back the Andromeda fleets where already enroute and were diverted to the Klingon border. Overall, it was the worst defeat in the history of Starfleet and in a lot of history. The Milky Way fleets were tattered and had to scatter into Republic space.
Marshall: The Admirals were fools then...
Terry: I am not going to disagree with that, but I won't do it here...
Casval: How long has it been since you were here last?
Terry: Well over 20 years...
Lets go... the Academy grounds are up ahead.

It is why there are still cast out that want to preserve the old ways... At least as much as I can recall from what my father told me. Integration will take its time despite resistance.
James Jr: I seem to recall Doctor McCoy a couple centuries ago ranting about 20th century medicine.. Calling it I recall The Spanish Inquisition. If I recall the logs right.
*There is a small snicker.*
Ghani: Doctor, before we left the ship what had you and Falli abuzz...?
*The expedition's drones are scanning through the ship wrecks and debris... Falli connected to them via retinal connection. *
Casval: Falli what are we looking for exactly?
Falli: Right now Starfleet Command, if the building still stands.
Casval: Why so secretive?
Falli: I keep forgetting that you are your father's son. We are looking for Starfleet Intelligence... and maybe Starfleet Medical facility. They may have something there that might come in handy... Not to mention Starfleet wants to catalogue the damage done to the facility...
*As they proceed something watches them proceed through, no one really went through this place in years. They soon find old dead husks... Casval is unnerved as are the younger Innotankan scouts..*
Terry: Long dead. They do not pose a threat, though keep your eyes open and stay alert. We don't know what is out here now.
Doctor: Doctor-Patient confidentiality, I'm afraid.
This one I'm pretty sure is just alcohol.

James Jr: I guess I will have to contain my surprise Doctor. Can't be worse than the one I got when I woke up...
Ghani: Speaking of... If the expression is correct... James... Those feelings are normal. You also never got that closure as things are moving fairly quickly.
James Jr: How would I do that right now?
Ghani: I could ask the Shaman... See how they would proceed with such a thing, though we will need a box of her stuff at least.
James Jr: *He looks down with his one good eye... * Thanks.
*On the Enterprise... Rekas and his brother are off duty in the recreation lounge... *
Rekas: *After drinking a dry martini* Brother... I still do not get why humans drink this... what do they call it?
Shekas: Rot gut... Cheap and easy to produce...
*Sasha, Demora, and Alvin... are at another table.*
Sasha: I wonder how James is doing...
Alvin: He will be okay... in time probably.
Sasha: It does make me wonder if the family will do a...
Demora: I dunno why... She did cause his condition, and killed a good number of people. *She is fairly irritated at the mention of Cassi.*
Sasha: Still Demora... we still should say goodbye despite what she did.
Alvin: I dunno.
*Sasha receives a comm link...*
Sasha: Hmm... *she taps the holographic interface on her wrist.*
Ghani: *On the comm* Commander...
Sasha: What can I do for you Lt...
Ghani: I need a box filled with Cassi's stuff.
Sasha: Okay... I could talk to the Security Chief to release those affects, probably her uniforms.
What did you have in mind?
Ghani: It is more of a therapy for James to close his feelings on the matter. I don't think James wants to bother anyone with it.
Sasha: *narrows her eyes trying to size up what is really going through her head. * I don't see why not. I will ask...
*OOC: Pretty sure I did not have a security chief on the ship right now. *
OOC: I'm sure Colas would have moved on by now.
