A Test of the Mind

[Riov Liordra t'Takar]

It seemed that one question answered only created many more yet to be.

"You base your hypothesis that they are telepaths on the fact that you observed they had no weapons. I need that confirmed before any action can be taken. Their weapons may be bio-integrated. Can the colonists be moved while in this resting state or can they be placed in a containment field? Instead of waiting on their pleasure, we need to find a way to control them."

"As the Daise' Dheno was unable to respond, it may also be that Zareth is injured. Find him first and assess the situation. If you find him well, inform him of what is known so far but I want you to continue leading the operation. After you have reviewed surveillance, I want your updated report as soon as possible..also..I am ordering an autopsy be done on t'Stellam. I want to know the cause of her death."

She had left him standing and now she closed the gap between them, locking her eyes with his. "You have overstepped your initial authority." She paused a few seconds so that the gravity of her words would be understood. "However it was with good reason." She turned on her heel and returned to her desk. "Take care your ambitions do not carry you too far."

She raised a questioning eyebrow."Are my orders understood?"

[jerrodrenn]

Renn paused before he responded. He took this as a challenge. She had noticed him so the goal was achieved. All he had to do was reward the her for giving him the chance. "They are clear as Andorian Crystal ma'am." He said and stood a little taller. "I will first inform the SubCommander. His information should prove invaluable. "I will then," He said Once finished I shall give him a report, but I would also request a direct audience with you on the matter. He said hoping that the Subcommander would have something to contribute.

[Riov Liordra t'Takar]

Liordra nodded her approval. Jerrod had the potential to do well on a Rihannsu vessel. He understood that ambition should never be blind and he seemed to understand the basics of Mnhei'sahe. As he built on his own honor, he would not succeed by tearing down another's in return.

"Dismissed." She said, and once he had left, sat down again to send a message to Deletham detailing what had happened and what actions were being taken.

[jerrodrenn]

Jerrod exited the officer with a brisk salute. He went through the oira so quickly he hardly noticed it. This investigation had just begun and the longer he waited the more recollections would blur. He decided to stop in the medical bay first since the autopsy was ordered. He would contact the SubCommander by communicator once he arrived.


He arrived in Medical without incident. He noticed there were Doctors huddled around the the former Daise Dheno. It looked as if they were preparing her for transportation back to the home world when the word had come that there was to be and examination of the body. Once he got close he noticed that some were Doctors, but others were not. They must be the ones with the duty of preparing the body for the family. There was a mixture of melancholy and curiosity in the room.

"Have you started the autopsy yet?" He said addressing one of the technicians.

"As per protocol we had been given the verbal orders, " The Tech responded. "But as you know we need the orders on record."

"I am aware," He said handing the Technician the orders. "I have also been given authority by the Riov to stand in for herself and the Sub-Commander. However, we must await the science officer since he has been ordered present also."

[Riov Liordra t'Takar]

With the letter to Deletham complete, she commed Khellian.

"This is the Riov. Report to Medical. You are to assist with the autopsy of t'Stellam and when completed, sign in witness of the authenticity of the report."

[erei'Arrain Delon Khellian]

Hearing his com then the Rivo telling him to assist with the autopsy of t'Stellam and sign as witness, tapping his Com "ie lhhei"

He turns his station over grabs his orders and heads to the Medical Deck, he was interested in how t'Stellam died as only Rhianssu disruptor's were fired.

He enters the Medical Deck and walks up to Reen "I am here to assist in the autopsy" he then hands Renn his orders

[jerrodrenn]

Thank you Mister Khellian, He said taking the PADD. I am stating on record that Delon Khellian is assisting in the autopsy of Daise 'Dheno t'Stellam. Mister 'Khellian you and the medical officer may proceed."

He watches as the Medical technician begins to cut with his laser scalpel. Khellian takes out the medical multicorder and takes readings as the medical technician points out the conditions. The technician is surprised as there seems to be no outward or inward damage.

[erei'Arrain Delon Khellian]

Takes out his medical multicorder and takes readings, he looks down at t'Stellam naked body as the medical technician starts the autopsy.

He noticed even before the technician pointed how she had no outward wounds to her body. he took in depth scans as the technician cut her open, again their was no wounds that would have caused her death.

He watched as they took blood samples and tissues samples for a toxicology report, he then watched as they cut her head and removed her brain to check it.

As the technicians do their job, he records it, his face showing no emotions to what was happing, he would from time to time glance down at his medical multicorder.

[jerrodrenn]

He watched the officer record things with a detached efficiency. Once this is done I want you to make sure they put everything back. She has to go back home, and though her essence has moved on I don't want her family returned a grotesque mutilation. He watched remembering the first time he saw her on the oira, and the recent promotion. She showed no emotion over it because she had known that she had earned it. "Safe journey." He said under his breath then turned. "Make sure they do their best work, Khellian."

[erei'Arrain Delon Khellian]

He never looks up from his readings "le, Rekkhai" he replies out of respect for him being in charge "She will look as good as she did before she died, That I will make sure of" He didn't know her well but from his meetings with her she was quality officer.

[erei'Riov Saren Zareth]

He would walk in to sickbay, holding his arm to his body with his other arm keeping the injured arm immobile. He looked around, leeping a neutral ecpression, medical nurses and other aides scurrying about

He would spot Khellian in one room and he turned to move toward the same room, standing in the doorway, he would also see a couple more nurses along with Renn surrounding a body on the table. From the smell, he would conclude an autopsy is being performed

Khellian turned slightly, giving him view of the body, specifically the face. The Daise'Dheno

"Have you been able to determine cause of death?" He asked calmly to the group

[jerrodrenn]

He turned at the Sub-Commander's appearance. "No sir we have not." He said with a salute. "The autopsy is not complete so our technician hasn't been able to draw any conclusions. So far, all we have made note of is that there are no visible signs of an attack. I have been given charge of the investigation of this incident by the Riov. Once you have tended to your injury I would request an interview with you. I need to record your recounting of the events leading up to and including t'Stellam's death."

[erei'Riov Saren Zareth]

He gave a slight nod to Renn, acknowledging his salute. He didn't return the salute as it pained him to do so, to move his injured arm at all

He went on to listen to Renn as he explained the autopsy was not complete then he wanted to set up an interview to determine his view of what had occured. He gave another nod as a nurse came over "That can be arranged. I will return once my injuries have beem medically tended to."

He turned to the nurse that came over, nodding to her as she politely asked and ushered him to another room to tend to his broken arm

[***Dhivael Action***]

***There is a sudden influx of electrical energy in the room. It can be felt brushing everyone's skin and raising the hairs on the body. The readings on medical scanners become erratic and in certain places, pockets of static discharge build up and release, sparking sharply. The energies shift and concentrate, centering themselves on t'Stellam's body.***

[jerrodrenn]

Renn instinctively pushed the Sub-Commander back into the nurse moving both out of harms way and watch with one hand on his disruptor. "Are you taking readings on this," He said as he turned toward Khellian.
