A Test of the Mind

[Arrain Terrh Sahen]

He gave a nod to Delon's latest report that the Colonists have stopped attempting to take over the ship or whatever it is they were attempting to do then heard the angry tones from the Bajoran Ops Officer. From his tone, he is unhappy for not being iformed of the incident in the cargo bay

He contacted Renn and spoke calmly "This is the Oria, Arrain Sahen speaking. As the incident caused a breach in security, I had contacted the Daise'Dheno and other security officers to detain the threat. The Sub Commander was also notified of the incident and is on his way to gather a status report of the incident. I was unaware that you also were required to know." He paused to lower his voice "For that, I apologize." He hoped Renn would not make him repeat himself

[erei'Riov Saren Zareth]

Having been informed of the incident in the cargo bay, he made his way to check up on the injuries, both from the Dhivael and the colonists. Medical and Security were there. He instructed Medical Perssonel to over see the more critically wounded and have them sent to sickbay first.

He moves over to an critically injured individual that medical suggested to transport to sickbay. He tapped his comm badge "Sub Commander Zareth to Oria. Transport the critically wounded to sickbay. Lock onto the medical transponders."

[erei'Arrain Delon Khellian]

Locking onto the medical transporters he beams the crucially wounded to sickbay, checking on the signs he noticed the Daise'Dheno was among them

Tapping his Comm badge "All critically wounded are now in sickbay Rekkhai"

[Riov Liordra t'Takar]

Liordra's hand had been poised over the comm control when the alert was activated.The update she had been about to request, turned sharp edged as she stabbed the button.

"Oira. Report! Why are we at condition yellow?"

[***Dhivael Action***]

Medical reports that the injured have been recieved and are being treated, most with minor injuries. One however was unable to be resuscitated, erei'Arrain Lyretha t'Stellam.

[jerrodrenn]

So the fact that I had heading up the evacuation of the colonists escaped your attention or perhaps it is the Rihannsu way to simply keep these matter between yourselves. Either way, I have just arrived at the cargo area and the colonist seem to be agitated. I would suggest sending a sedative gas through the ventilation system so that we might assess the damage already here. I'm sure the Subcommander in his infinite wisdom has already made that order since you informed him before I even knew there was a problem. He said in a calm yet sarcastic tone.

[Arrain Terrh Sahen]

He listened to what Renn had to see, noting his calm but sarcastic tone. When he finished, he responded in kind, but left the sarcasm out "I was not notified of au being in control of the evacuation. I had presumed it would be the Sub Commander but it seems I presumed incorrectly. Your suggestion of releasing sedative gas into the air ducts is a good one, but not necessary since the incident had ended as expediant as it started and thus had not ordered the gas to be released."

He suddenly heard the voice of the Riov on his station's comm and she was not pleased. His back stiffened in response, a bead of sweat appearing on his brow "if you will excuse me a moment, erei'Arrain" He tapped a key, placing wrenn on hold while he tapped a key to answer the Riov "Ihhei, There has been an incident in the cargo bay with the colonists. They had started a skirmish with Dheno over something they found unsatisfactory. It was suggested Yellow alert be activated. I would also like to report that the Incident has been dealt with as swiftly as it started and any wounded are being treated and sent to sickbay" He reported then paused to wait for her response

[erei'Arrain Delon Khellian]

He was maintaining the energy dampening field on the Cargobay, and making sure things stayed calm in the Cargobay when he heard the Riov ask "Oira. Report! Why are we at condition yellow?"

then came the medical report.He arched his eyebrow that erei'Arrain Lyretha t'Stellam had not been able to be resuscitated, he though may the elements bless her, on the news she was dead.

Never looking away from his station Arrain "erei'Arrain Lyretha t'Stellam has died from her injuries Rekkhai" he reports showing no emontions

[Arrain Terrh Sahen]

As he waited for the Riov to repond to his report, he heard Delon speak up reporting that Sickbay has reported the death of the Daise'Dheno, erei'Arrain Lretha t'Stellum. He looked back to Delon with a shocked expression for a brief second before schooling his expression back to neutral expression, then spoke into the comm to the Riov again, not sure if she would have heard Delon "It pains me to report as well that sickbay has sent a report that the Daise'Dheno, erei'Arrain Lretha t'Stellum has sustained critical wounds and could not be revived."

[Riov Liordra t'Takar]

"An incident?" Under ordinary circumstances, she would have given the situation similar treatment, however with these colonists, no incident could be considered minor or dealt with lightly. "I want a complete report as soon as possible." She emphasized 'complete' in such a manner it was clear that if any part of what had happened was not fully investigated and detailed, the result of that failure would be catastrophic for the officers involved.
She sighed as she closed the link. The Daise'Dheno had come aboard with an exceptional record. Liordra recalled her as ambitious and loyal. She would be remembered as such.

[jerrodrenn]

When Renn arrived at the area of the incident he went right to work. He began to ask the officers questions. It seemed no one else was. Everyone seemed to be content with the fact that there was only one casualty Renn was not. Though he had worked with the Daise'Dheno a short when he was informed of her death by one of the security officers it alarmed him greatly. These colonist had killed an officer unarmed and no one wondered why and how. He found an ISD and went to work interviewing officers. He had thought to inform the SubCommander of his activities, but he seemed to be slow to respond to any problem presented him. It was as if he had to ask permission to do his job. Renn decided he would investigate himself since there was no named Daise' Dheno. He decided to message the Riov. "Riov, I have gathered preliminary information. I would like to give you that cursory report with your permission."

[Riov Liordra t'Takar]

There was no immediate response from the oira but she did not doubt her orders were being followed. She considered contacting Deletham but if there was anything he could have done, she decided, he would have offered it when they spoken previously.
She had decided to return to the oira and had only just stood when she received Jerrod's comm.

"Riov, I have gathered preliminary information. I would like to give you that cursory report with your permission."

"Is the area secure and controlled? If so, meet me in my office." She replied.

[jerrodrenn]

Yes Riov, He responded. Everything is secure down here for now. I will meet your shortly. Jerrod out.

Renn double checked to make sure all the security officers were of a clear mind. The last thing he needed was to be the next mistake to keep the Riov on edge. After that he headed straight away to the oira.

He arrived on the oira in short order and walked to her office and walked in giving her a crisp salute.

[Riov Liordra t'Takar]

Liordra returned the salute. The normally gentle lines of age that creased her forehead and mouth had deepened. The toll their recent missions had taken was mounting and the effect was etched there clearly.

"Ie, erei'Arrain? I hope you can bring some semblance of order to the apparent chaos of this situation."

[jerrodrenn]

Ma'am, I wanted to report this and take responsibility for what happened. He said and bowed his head. I will give you a full report, but this failure and that life of your Chief of Security are my disgrace to bear, and if you ask for my transfer or my arrest I will accept it. As for what happened, the Daise'Dheno is dead, but no one knows or remembers anything beyond their weapons being deactivated. I was just about to request clearance to access the security files to see the surveillance on that level. I have not been able to speak to the colonists, as they have all joined in a meditative state which the security guards were told they needed to do it. It was there way of resting. Those people were unarmed so I believe we are dealing with telepaths of great power. Power enough to kill or possibly deceive.
