What he was doing was pretty tightly under wraps though, for station personal to catch wind would require someone to throw him under the wheels, at the very least how it was handled was highly irregular and in the context of the other goings on highly suspect. That's out approach for the most part.

My thoughts are that Tesenblen has been on the radar for some time, now. While what he was doing was, in fact, illegal... it wasn't really a big priority. However, somebody has it out for Drake and/or the Peregrine, and they are looking for every angle.

This has been planned for at least a little bit, now, as Asovil has had her orders for the better part of a day - yet the arrest was made less than an hour before we were due to leave the Starbase... in other words, so as to inflict maximum chaos, and to give Drake no time to do anything about the situation.

In truth, it wouldn't be terribly hard to pull off; it's not uncommon for Starbase personnel to be aboard, and there were other transfers going on. Your angle with Agris being possibly involved would make it even easier, obviously.

Regardless they should l have said something to both Berk and Drake, even it was just a courtesy.

It's a HUGE breach of etiquette to remove a department head like that without at least informing the Captain. To do it like the proverbial thief in the night - and to ransack the science labs in the process - is far worse than impolite. This was clearly a planned action, with the intent of causing chaos and limiting the ship.

Post's up, enjoy.

Good stuff all around, folks!

Before long, I plan to jump the story forward, but there are still a few loose ends to work on.

Any suggestions on how to fix that would be helpful. I was thinking we could have a ship with our transferred crew member literally drop out of warp as we leave space dock with our last minute transfer. They had drive trouble and we're delayed.

Sorry folks... forgot that school started back up this week and the weekend was a flurry of activity getting the wife ready to do another year. Will get back to my post after my meeting this morning.


As to the new ensign in security... it could be made really simple by having him/her have transferred over during the personnel swap at SB 118. That way we have no further delays (and, more importantly, Drake wont have an anuerism at yet another unexpected/last nanosecond transfer).

Simply have the new ensign already on board, from starbase 118. You guys may not have their paperwork yet, it was misplaced in the shuffle.

Replicate one.

I apologize that I wasn't able to get a post up this weekend as well. I intend to post today. Asovil has to continue her interviews, after all.

One ensign coming right up.

He was in one of those generic blue barrels in the cargo hold that nearly left Worf a quadriplegic, not sure how he got there.

Anyway I've updated the security section roster, one Ensign William Mathews reporting for duty.

For instant Ensign just add..... well anyway we now have a full section again.

Glad to see us full again!

All I've got to say is we've some strange people on board this ship!
