Host Lea says:
Summary: The USS Andromeda remains stationary beyond the nebular enveloping the Gehmohr Science Station.  Ensign McQuade has been reviewing the data modules brought over from the station with Meekin, whilst the other crew members attempt to piece together the last bits of the puzzle.

::In Main engineering with Meekin working on rebuilding the damaged tricorder.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::seated in his chair on the bridge, reading reports::
Host Meekin says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> ::While monitoring power levels in this proximity to the man-made nebula, he notices a particular light flash on his console:: XO: Ah, Commander. We're being hailed by the station.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::in one of the holosuites suspended by tractor beams in an apparent zero g environment surrounded by the starfield surrounding the Andromeda currently, with various areas highlighted and marked.  Details flowing past on small holographic screens.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Here we go again. On-screen.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks up at the screen, wondering what the station has to say for themselves this time::
Host Meekin says:
::Hands Tavish one of his tools, then looks back to the data module, then the computer they're using to try to extract the data::  ::Sigh softly::
Host Meekin says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> XO: Yes sir.  ::Processes the comm::
Host Meekin says:
<Meerma_Lin> COM: Andromeda: XO: This is Meerma Lim, of the Coloh Family, of Chalak Major.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Takes the tool and continues to work on the tricorder.::  Meekin:  Feels good to be out of sickbay.  Wouldn't you agree?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Meerma_Lin: What can I help you with Meerma Lim of the Coloh Family of Chalak Major
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::rises and walks over to one of the side alcoves of the bridge:: *CEO*: Varesh to McQuade.
Host Meekin says:
::Smiles quietly and nods, her otherwise improved disposition still shadowed by the question of her future:: CEO: Of course.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  It looks like the power stream is back online in this tricorder.  All we need now...  ::Pauses and taps his Badge.::  *CNS*:  McQuade here.  What can I do for you Commander
Host Meekin says:
<Meerma_Lin> ::Her otherwise usually dour expression is enlightened slightly by a clear sense of accomplishment...almost smugness:: COM: Andromeda: XO: Lieutenant Commander Conor Power of the USS Andromeda of the United Federation of Planets. ::She nods::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Quietly hands Meekin an optical connector and points to the input on the monitor next to the bench.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CEO*: I was wondering if I could have a moment of your time, Ensign. I have some questions for you regarding a matter the Captain wants resolved.
Host Meekin says:
<Meerma_Lin: COM: Andromeda: XO: I've contacted you to let you know that we have apprehended several of the individuals involved in the sabotage of the station, and the only individuals injured in this mishap are on the road to recovery.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::satisfied that the aggregate data is all as accurate as she can make it at this point. She sighs slightly and sets the computer to extrapolate the future of screens that she has been looking at, then she shuts down the visual imaging sectors and the tractor beams landing in the small suite with a quiet 'thump'.::
Host Meekin says:
<Meerma_Lin> COM: Andromeda: XO: While we appreciate your cooperation in remaining nearby, at this time we wish to let you know we have no further need of your continued presence. You are free to move on at any time, with our blessings.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
*CNS*:  Of course Sir.  I'm down in Main Engineering working on some of the data extracted from the Station.  You can Join Meekin and I down here or I can come to your office once we are finished.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CEO*: I'll join you in Main Engineering. It won't take too long for us to get this matter resolved.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
*CNS*:  Understood sir.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Taps his badge while he waits for Meekin to plug the tricorder in.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Meerma_Lin: Thank you for this update. I expect we will be heading out before the end of the day. I shall hail the station once I have more confirmed plans.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks over his shoulder at the XO still talking to Meerma and heads over to the TL, entering when the door opens:: TL: Main Engineering.
Host Meekin says:
<Meerma_Lin> ::Nods:: COM: Andromeda: XO: Understood. Thank you for your patience.  Good day, Lieutenant Commander Conor Power of the USS Andromeda.  ::Leans forward to press a control, closing the comm from her side::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Where is our guest currently located?
Host Meekin says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews>::Runs a quick internal scan of the ship to identify the Chalak lifesigns::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::checks the status of the program and keeps it running in active memory then tabs the holosuites as 'in use' and heads out, straightening her uniform as she heads for Main Engineering and the data that she had yet to get a chance to investigate.::
Host Meekin says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> XO: Main Engineering, with Ensign McQuade, Sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::exits the turbolift, turning right and heading down the corridor to Main Engineering::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Uses another tricorder to scan the parts of the broken tricorder on the bench.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  Looks like it’s working.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CEO* Status report on your data recovery attempts?
Host Meekin says:
::Smiles:: CEO: Great.  ::Presses a series of controls, a bit more tentatively than she would with her own technology, then points:: And I think I've gotten access to the Chalak data we pulled.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Taps his badge again.::  *XO*: Commander Conor I think we have the broken tricorder working.  We are going to run a comparison between the Stations computer data and the tricorder readings.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::checks something on a PADD and then drops said PADD back into the lab coat’s large pockets before heading for the turbolift and saying:: TL: Main Engineering.
Host Meekin says:
<Add @ to all Meerma_Lims>
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Smiles at Meekin.::  Meekin:  Wonderful.  Let’s see what really happened in that lab.  Or at least what the Tricorder recorded.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Taps a few buttons on the tricorder and then on the monitor to begin the data stream.::
Host Meekin says:
@<Meerma_Lin> ::Turns away from the computer console, and back to the private room in which lies the injured, but recovering, Marlin Chenwa::  Marlin: I cannot be sure, but it looks as if they are leaving without further question.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CEO* Keep me updated. Our guest will need to make her decision once this work is complete.
Host Meekin says:
::Her eyes glue to the monitor, a bit of hope manifest on her brow::
Host Meekin says:
@<Marlin_Chenwa> Meerma: Good, then it appears everything has gone according to--  ::Pauses at the door to the room slides up, revealing two more Chalak, but after a moment's recognition, the two move within, allowing the door to close once more:: --plan.
Host Meekin says:
::Looks aside to the second monitor, digging through to find the illegal experimentation data she'd seen before::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
*XO*: Understood sir.  I'll inform you shortly.   ::Taps the badge to close the comm.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  This is the reading from the lab and area around the lab as we approached it.  ::Taps the monitor to isolate some odd readings.::  Look here.  These readings are from several of the labs that we were not allowed into.   Look at the power signatures.  Some of these are off the chart.  ::Taps the monitor some more to isolate the signatures.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
<add :: to the end.>
Host Meekin says:
::Points at the second monitor, practically talking over the tail end of his own report:: CEO: Here it is...the experimental data. But... ::Squints, and enlarges the data, bringing up its subtables.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::hears the lift 'bing' as she arrives in Main Engineering and steps off, turning down the hall, and heading towards the CEO and his Chalak friend::
Host Meekin says:
@<Meerma_Lin> Marlin: And the orphan?
Host Meekin says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> XO: Eh...Commander?  I'm picking up another communications aperture opening, on the far side of the nebula. I'm not sure if they know we can detect it.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Can we listen into the traffic? Or figure out where it is going
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  These power readings just don't make sense.  ::Scrolls through the data.::  This is unsafe on a station.  ::Pauses.::  Here.  Look at this power build up and surge just below the central corridor.
Host Meekin says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> XO: Working on it... They do have some security, but it doesn't look too difficult to crack. I doubt they're used to anyone out here trying.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Tries to isolate the power signatures from the lab and compare them to the power signatures below the central corridor.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::stops and glances around then steps to the door of the lab and raps lightly on the doorframe::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Keep a local copy in case we need to crack it offline. And find out who they are talking to
Host Meekin says:
::Almost more to herself than Tavish:: CEO: ...but there's...nothing there.  No tags...no identifiers...  ::Her voice fades off to a whisper before dropping altogether. As something taps nearby, she looks up, blinks a moment at the vaguely familiar Ivara. Then looks over to Tavish:: CEO: Hm?  Oh, the power readings?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Listens to Meekin, then pauses and turns to the door.::  CSO:  Ensign Ivara.  A pleasant surprise.  What brings you down to engineering?
Host Meekin says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> XO: Alright, Commander. They're transmitting back to Chalak Prime, it appears.  Something about preparing to send down prisoners.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::smiles slightly looking slightly worn around the edges, she runs a quick across her brow, capturing a straying lock of hair and tucks it behind a pointed ear:: CEO/ Meekin: I heard that you had some data to look at?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: They did say they captured who was behind the sabotage. Keep listening for anything else useful.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO:  We have a good deal of data.  One from my tricorder and then from the computer from the station.  However most of the computer data is falsified.
Host Meekin says:
@<Marlin_Chenwa> ::Stares off past the three for a moment, chewing his lower lip, then shakes his head:: Meerma: Whether she leaves with them or stays, she's no longer a threat.   And the others?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::moves into the room looking at the displays:: CEO/Meekin: How can you tell?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin: So those labs show no signs of experiments active at the time stamp?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO:  The tricorder readings do not match with the data on the computer.  There are experiments going on inside several of these locked labs.  ::Points to the readings.::  Yet there is nothing on them.  ::Points to Meekin’s monitor and the lack of assigned information for each lab.::
Host Meekin says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> ::Presses his hand to the earpiece a moment, nodding:: XO: Yes, it's them.  Apparently they'll be transported back to Chalak for a...a civil trial?  And a hearing by the "Chalak Science Advisements Department," whatever that is.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::glances at Meekin’s monitor:: CEO/Meekin: Where did we get this information?  It seems to me that the Chalak would record even the most secret of data in detail.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Look for a hidden message in a sub carrier band. This seems odd. Broadcasting a signal we can crack easily and saying they're going to get a fair trial.
Host Meekin says:
CSO/CEO: Some of these labs, I have data for right here...  ::Points at the monitor:: ...but Tavish detected nothing on his tricorder.  And the data I found, it's missing....so much, now that I can access all of it.  On the other hand, some of these labs have no data assigned to them at all, yet he detected massive power spiked from them.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Listens to Meekin.::  CSO:  From what I understand this is a practice the Chalak do from time to time to hide.  ::Pauses.::  Unethical experiments.  The Chalak are not what they seem.
Host Meekin says:
@<Meerma_Lin> Marlin: We're already making arrangements.  They'll be seen to Chalak Prime, undergo judgments, and offered to forgo any criminal proceedings as long as they remain on Chalak Prime.  The civil suit and CSAD will see to it they're in no position to foment trouble from there.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
CEO/Meekin: For a group so dedicated to exact conversation, and correct detail, I would expect that the data from those labs was somewhere...is it possible that there is a hidden file? or that the data was damaged?
Host Meekin says:
::Shakes her head, starting to feel like the room is spinning:: <CSO/CEO>: I don't think that's what happened...  I think-- ...I think it was a trap.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO:  There is a long story behind this.  The Chalak and Agtak are not seeing eye to eye.  The Chalak control everything.  From what Meekin told me the Agtak planned on destroying the station to force Starfleet and the Federation to investigate.  There by bringing a lot of the Chalak injustice to light.
Host Meekin says:
::Quickly:: CSO: Not destroy....just, wreak havoc.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Nods.::  Meekin:  My apologies.  CSO:  Damage enough to possibly kill or wound some of the Andromeda crew on board the station.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO:  Luckily for us things changed.
Host Meekin says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> XO: Searching, Commander....  I'm not seeing anything. Beyond some basic encryption, it's a fairly simple signal.  Although given their advancements, it's possible that if they did want to hide a message from us, we'd never know it.
Host Meekin says:
::Lowers her head a moment::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::gets the sinking feeling in her stomach that she isn't gonna get the Chalak sensor tech:: CEO/Meekin: So you have data showing activity in labs that should be empty.  What else?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO:  I have statements from Meekin here.  ::Takes a deep breath.::  After that not much yet.  But like you said the data has to be out there.  There is a lot more to this then what we currently know.
Host Meekin says:
CSO: The data isn't..."complete," for lack of a better term.  It's like...::Tries to put it in science terms, given who she's speaking with:: ...It's like the difference between a naturally formed crystal, with all the sediment and mineral traces you'd expected to find - that's what we should find in experimental data.
Host Meekin says:
CSO/CEO: But this... ::Points at the data she has:: ...this is more like a lab created gem. It's...too clean.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::give Meekin a look like she just got an idea, raises a finger, pulls out a PADD takes a quick note and puts it back in her pocket::  CEO/Meekin: Do you think that we were supposed to find this data?
Host Meekin says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> ::As he continues working, he finally shrugs his shoulders:: XO: If something's hidden there, I can't find it.  Could be this whole thing is for show, and the real message will be later. Or maybe this is true.   The rest of the message asked for confirmation and to make sure the trials will be "expedited."
Host Meekin says:
::Glances to McQuade::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Smiles.::  CSO:  It would fit.  I've always found it odd we got off the station without so much as a hey wait.  And they are not throwing a fit we have Meekin.  It fits.
Host Meekin says:
CSO/CEO: And nothing went according to plan. The whole station was supposed to lose power - both generators. But only the lab and living spaces did, not the lower decks.  And the overrides on the doors...we'd reversed their codings.  When power was lost, they were supposed to spring open, instead of closed, to release anything possibly dangero--...
Host Meekin says:
::Trails off a bit, embarrassedly::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Someone has set us up. Either Meekin is lying to us or the Chalak are putting on a great show here.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::turns towards Meekin:: Meekin: Do you know how irresponsible that is? Opening every lab? You just told me there were things going on there that you didn't know about. You could have murdered every single being on that station! Not to mention contaminating millions of hours of scientific work. How was this your plan?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Chuckles a bit.::  CSO:  You a few days behind on that lecture.  I've given that one to Meekin already.
Host Meekin says:
::Her gaze cast to the floor, she flinches at Ivara's words, but doesn't defend against them...just sighs::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CEO* Status?
Host Meekin says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> XO: Kinda does look that way, eh, Commander?  Do you want me to do anything about it? Looks like they're ready to end the message.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
Meekin: That was not a rhetorical a question...How was this your plan?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Places his hand on Meekin's shoulder.::  CSO/Meekin:  We are passed this part.  We need more answers and the only... ::Pauses and taps his badge.::  *XO*:  Ensign Ivara has joined us here in engineering.  We brought her up to speed and I think we are all in agreement the Chalak are not being honest with us.  We have some data to support that.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
*XO*:  But we think there is a great number of things they need to answer too.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: No. Leave it
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CEO* I get that impression too but what can we do. We aren't here to force questions down their throats
Host Meekin says:
::Looks up to Ivara, still solemn, but also with a gleam of fire in her eyes, and raises a breath to answer, but is cut off and immediately cooled by McQuade's interaction, and instead bites down on her lip, still looking to Ivara steadily::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
*XO*: Well sir I'm not sure I have an answer for that.  I believe a full investigation team from both Starfleet and the Federation should be called in.  I think we need to stay here to monitor the situation.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::can't quite keep the anger from her eyes. Her features are more than a bit stern but she manages to get her voice under control:: Meekin: Look you've got two ways to figure this out.  One: you fiddle with the data until it tells you something. If we were meant to find the data then whatever it tells us will be what the Chalak want us to know.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO:  Again we are passed this Ensign.  It was a stupid plan out of desperation.  Nothing else, but I think the Chalak knew about it and played us and the Agtak.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
*XO*:  Sir you may want to stop by engineering we are discussing things here at the moment.  There is a good deal going on down here.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CEO* Write it up and send it to me. We will not be staying here indefinitely until SF make a move on this. It isn't our role. Have our guest make her decision and prepare for departing this system before the day is out.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
Meekin: Two, we look at what other data we got, something they didn't expect us to find, or learn. One of those things is figuring out where your plan failed.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO/Meekin:  If the Chalak knew about the caper, then....  ::Shakes his head.::  *XO*:  Sir with all due respect this is more important than leaving the system.  There are lives here at stake and a corrupt government that want to get into the Federation.  It is our job to investigate this further sir.
Host Meekin says:
::Snaps back:: CSO: A piece of experimental data we wouldn't have had if we hadn't have enacted the plan.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO/Meekin:  The Chalak did this to look like victims.  It would help get the Agtak under control and still get them into the Federation.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO/Meekin:  Its clean and simple.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::pulls her PADD out and types into it.:: Meekin: What data would that be? This? ::points at the display::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CEO* We've had this discussion already. They aren't members of the Federation yet and it isn't our job to police every government in the galaxy. We will be leaving this system in 6 hours. I expect the ship to be ready by then.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
*XO*:  Yes sir.  ::Taps his badge closing the comm.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO/Meekin:  Looks like we have six hours to find something out.  After that the Andromeda is leaving the system.
Host Meekin says:
CSO: The question of how our plan failed.   We cannot analyze how it failed unless we first enact it.  And I will not defend the desperate extremities of our plan to someone who does not realize the full scope of our pasts.  We - the Chalak, and the Agtak - are both lovers of science, much like yourself --::Glances to her collar:: --Ensign.
Host Meekin says:
CSO: But there is still much to be said for history.
Host Meekin says:
::Draws up and takes a deep breath, actually physically taking a step back from Ivara, as she tries instead to focus on McQuade::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO:  This is getting us nowhere.  We have little time left and we need to move forward not back.  ::Moves to Meekin's Console and taps in a search for door commands aboard the station::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  Look though the computer data and get me a list of personnel working on the area under the central complex.  Anything on work on power conduits.
Host Meekin says:
::Nods, pressing her lips together, and turns back to the monitor with only a slight glance at Ivara::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO/Meekin:  Odd.  ::Pulls up the data.::  The doors where repaired 3 days before the event.  They changed the codes.  Then changed them back just hours before the event.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::folds her arms and says in a steely voice:: Meekin: Doctor.  Clearly the Chalak and Agtak have history... ::she turns towards McQuade.:: CEO: The answer isn't in the computer data, think it through.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO:  It only depends on the data we are looking for.  They are as you said very good at keeping records.
Host Meekin says:
::Glances at Ivara over her shoulder, but continues compiling data::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  Melana Mir of the Kelin Family of Chalak Minor then Merrin Rith of the Kleea Family of Chalak Major. ::Turns to Meekin:: Do you know these people?
Host Meekin says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews>XO: Commander, just thought you'd like to know. Looks like a small craft is exiting the far side of the nebula, enroute to Chalak Major.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
All:  They did the repairs.  Melana 3 days before.  Then Merrin just an hour before.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: If you scan it I suspect it is a prisoner transport.
Host Meekin says:
::Frowns a bit, and nods:: CEO: Melana was part of our group.  Merrin.... ::Shakes her head and shrugs::
Host Meekin says:
CEO: I'm forwarding you the personnel list.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  So Merrin you do not know?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Opens the personnel list and cross checks Melana and Merrin.::
Host Meekin says:
CEO: I think I've seen his name in passing, in my work, but I don't know that I've met him personally.
Host Meekin says:
::The work done, she turns back to Ivara, slightly less aggressive than before:: CSO:  What did you mean, about the history?
Host Meekin says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> ::Scans, then nods:: XO: You're right, Commander.  Looks like nine individuals.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::moves to one of the computer consoles:: Meekin: Never mind, clearly Ensign McQuade doesn't want me to follow that line of questioning, this is after all his project, and I would hate it if someone came in and told me how to do my job.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO:  I don't mind the questioning as long as its productive.  We can argue the way this was handled until we are blue in the face and it will not help solve this.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  How well do you know Melana?
Host Meekin says:
::Follows Ivara doggedly:: CSO: If it has something to do with my people, I want to know. We've already spectacularly failed at this literally once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Host Meekin says:
CSO: We may not have a chance again for another lifetime, but anything, any scrap, even of information that might improve our future attempts, I have a responsibility to learn and pass forward.
Host Meekin says:
CEO: Myself, only as long as I've been here.  Marcef has known her much longer.  She's quiet, but always devoted.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Continues to look though the data.::
Host Meekin says:
<OPS_Lt_Matthews> XO: Did you want to intervene in any way?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
CEO: Why would the Agtak  be willing to risk killing a Starfleet away team, and being cast in the role of the villain?   Meekin: Before you met McQuade what did you know about Starfleet?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
OPS: I've narrowly avoided one diplomatic incident so far. I can hardly go hijack their prisoner transport
Host Meekin says:
CSO: I was one of the ones given the most access to information about Starfleet and the Federation, including your language banks. I've spent the better half of the last six months learning about you, around my other responsibilities.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO:  They mostly perceived us as bad guys after the Federation told them to get more information on the mistreatment by the Chalak.  The Agtak took that as a bad sign.  They figured that once the Chalak where Federation members the Agtak would be further outcast.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
All:  Odd...
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Pulls up more data.::  All:  Look at this.  Merrin did the repairs, but he was off duty. Meloh Rhin and Matte Feer where the ones on duty at the time.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
Meekin: Is what McQuade says true? You felt that the Federation was on the Chalak's side and you needed to take drastic steps? Because if you're plan had gone through it is very likely that there would have been severe repercussions for the Agtak.  You felt that telling Starfleet that the Chalak were not what they seemed was worth it?
Host Meekin says:
CSO: Every one of us fully expected to spend the rest of our lives in prison, once our involvement in the incident were discovered. But the opportunity to out the Chalak as conducting illegal experimentation, to remove the possibility of their involvement in the Federation in a clean swipe, seemed worth the loss of a few small people.
Host Meekin says:
::Pauses:: CEO: Matte...of the Coloh Family?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  Yes.  ::Turns to Meekin.::  Matte Feer of the Coloh Family.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  Why?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::raises an eyebrow and waits::
Host Meekin says:
CEO/CSO: Matte is the youngest of the Coloh Family. He came aboard just a few months ago. Usually it is part of my responsibilities to approve all lower-level personnel transfers, but this one was fast-tracked past me, much to my vain complaint afterward.
Host Meekin says:
CEO/CSO: After all, he is the youngest brother of Marlin Chenwa and Meerma Lim.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  So why did someone off duty do the repair when two others were on duty.  And what is the Matte connection?
Host Meekin says:
::Leans against the console a moment, folding her arms in thought::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::shakes her head:: CEO: And why did it get recorded?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Turns to Ivara.::  CSO:  Because they record everything.  Much like a Starfleet Vessel.  But in doing so it’s hard to erase or cover everything up.
Host Meekin says:
::Looks up:: CEO: Staff doesn't actually identify in when making repairs like that. It's considered low-level security. You just input your code for access - you have to enter a code for access. Everyone's code is unique to their identity. Theoretically the only one who knows your code is you...
