<<<<Resume Mission>>>>

Host Smith says:
::In the sec office with Wesson ready to question Grissom::

Host Wesson says:
Grissom: Ens, how well did you know Able’smen Lereaux?

Host Ens_Grissom says:
::Looks nervous and somewhat alarmed, having heard about Lereaux’s fate::  Wesson: Umm, well, we were room mates.

Host Smith says:
Grissom: But did you socialize with her?

Host Ens_Grissom says:
Wesson: I didn't really know her well.  Since I came aboard we hardly spoke a word to each other.

Host Ens_Grissom says:
Wesson: We were on different shifts.

Host Smith says:
Grissom: How about Henderson?  How well did you know him?

Sec_Bryco says:
::looms over Grissom::

Sec_Bryco says:
::crosses his arms looks stern::

Host Ens_Grissom says:
Smith: Well, he was more personable.  But we were both new, came aboard here at 39S just before that last patrol.  We didn't socialize, didn't have time to develop a friendship.  ::Smiles wanly::

Host Smith says:
Grissom: Do you know where he went for his R&R?

Host Ens_Grissom says:
Smith: Henderson?  Umm, no.  No I don't.  Actually haven't seen him for a few days.

Host Wesson says:
Grissom: How well did Henderson and Lereaux get along?

Sec_Bryco says:
::goes to a panel and does a quick search for Henderson's profile::

Host Ens_Grissom says:
Wesson: You know, I don't really know.  Although they might have got along pretty well, if you know what I mean.  ::Grins, then stops when the security guys don't smile::  They were pretty chummy right off the bat.  And then, when we went on patrol, I never saw them together again.  But they were both gone from our quarters together a lot.

Host Wesson says:
::looks at Smith and then over at Bryco:: Grissom: Please wait here a moment.  ::walks over to Bryco::

Sec_Bryco says:
::looks over at Wesson as he approaches::

Host Wesson says:
Bryco: What did you find out about Henderson?

Host Wesson says:
Bryco: Is there anything in there that could be construed as suspicious or tie him with Lereaux?  Any reprimands?

Sec_Bryco says:
Wesson: Nothing that Grissom did not tell us...  new guy arrived from Starbase 39S same time as him. Waste Disposal... human. Not a whole lot.

Sec_Bryco says:
Wesson: I know this might sound stupid.... but maybe we should ask the computer where Henderson is? Perhaps it would give us at least a location of a com badge.

Host Wesson says:
::looks at him:: Bryco: I'm sure that was done by the counsellor, but go ahead...maybe he has logged back in since then.

Sec_Bryco says:
Computer: Where is Ensign Henderson?

CNS_Enki says:
::Enters the Security Office and looks around at the assembled security officers::

Host Smith says:
::sees the counsellor and nods his head:: CNS: Ma'am.

Host Ens_Grissom says:
<Computer>Bryco: Ensign Henderson is in his quarters.

CNS_Enki says:
::Nods back, feeling the pressure of solving this mystery:: All: Any new leads?

Sec_Bryco says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Wesson/CNS: Have we gone to Henderson's quarters?

Host Wesson says:
::looks grim:: Bryco: Will you be so kind as to go and get Ensign Henderson and bring him here.

Sec_Bryco says:
::nods at his superior:: Wesson: Yes sir.

Sec_Bryco says:
::nods politely at the CNS and leaves::

Host Ens_Grissom says:
::Looks at the officer and the security guys::  Umm, can I go now?

Host Smith says:
CNS: Ma'am, we've been questioning Ensign Grissom.  It appears that although she didn't know Lereaux very well, Henderson and Lereaux spent a lot of time together.

CNS_Enki says:
::Nods to Smith, looking over at the Ensign::

Host Wesson says:
CNS: Bryco just went to get Ensign Henderson for questioning.  And Ensign Danver has been recalled back from his R&R.

Host Ens_Grissom says:
Action: Ensign Danvers enters the office.  ALL: I was told to report here, is something wrong?

CNS_Enki says:
::Looks at the security officers to see if they're done with Grissom.. and what they want to do with Danvers::

Sec_Bryco says:
::takes the lift to the appropriate deck to Henderson's quarters::

Host Smith says:
CNS: Ma'am...is there something else you would like to ask Ensign Grissom?

Sec_Bryco says:
::enters the joint quarters::

CNS_Enki says:
::Looks at Smith, thinking she doesn't know what they asked in the first place, so how would she know what else to ask::

Host Smith says:
::waits a few minutes and then asks Grissom one last question:: Grissom: When was the last time that you saw Lereaux alive?

Sec_Bryco says:
::opens the door to Danvers/Henderson's room and sees it is empty of life::

Host Ens_Grissom says:
Smith: ::Thinks::  I think it was a few days before the attack.  Not sure when.  Ummm, oh that's right!  She borrowed my copper necklace two days after we left here.  ::Ponders::  She never returned it though.

Sec_Bryco says:
::starts looking around for the commbadge::

Host Ens_Grissom says:
Smith: Ugly thing really.  My Grandmother gave it to me when I graduated.  I couldn't stand it but she loved it.

Host Smith says:
Grissom: Thank you, Ensign.  Please wait in this empty office in case we need to question you further.  ::gestures towards an empty office over to the side::

Host Ens_Grissom says:
Smith: Umm, alright.  Will this take long?  I mean, I am supposed to be on R and R.  I hate to sound like I don't care, but I mean....Sorry.  I'll wait over here.

Host Ens_Grissom says:
::Goes to the office::

Host Smith says:
::closes the door after the Ensign enters the office and turns and waits for the CNS to question Danvers::

Host Danvers says:
CNS: Ma’am, why am I here?

Sec_Bryco says:
::finds the commbadge under a pillow::

CNS_Enki says:
Danvers: Your former roommate, Able’smen Lereaux has been found murdered, and we're wondering if you might have any information.

Host Danvers says:
::Looks shocked::  CNS: Murdered?  When?  Oh my god.  But I saw her today!

CNS_Enki says:
Danvers: You saw her today?  Where, when, and doing what?

Host Wesson says:
::perks up when he hears that::

Sec_Bryco says:
::does a quick tricorder scan to see when the bed was last used::

Host Danvers says:
CNS: Leaving.  She was in line at the docking port.  She's on the station now!  Wait a minute, if you say she's dead, then how did I see....?

CNS_Enki says:
Danvers: Is she still on the station, do you know?

Host Danvers says:
Action: Starbase Security calls the Del's security office.

CNS_Enki says:
::hears the signal for the incoming communication and wonders who's supposed to get that::

Host Smith says:
::answers the call::

Host Danvers says:
CNS: Well no, I mean, she's dead right?

Host Danvers says:
CNS: You are really confusing me ma’am.

Host Smith says:
CNS: Ma'am...it's for you.  Starbase security,

Sec_Bryco says:
::finds some hair strands tries to get an estimate of when the bed was last used::

CNS_Enki says:
::Smiles at the diversion, and puts up a finger for Danvers to hold and moves to the comm panel:: COM: SB_Sec: This is Counselor Enki, go ahead.

Host Danvers says:
<SB Security> COM: CNS: Lieutenant, we have those records you asked for.  I'm afraid there isn't much.

CNS_Enki says:
::Was afraid of that:: COM: SB_Sec: What do you have?

Host Danvers says:
<SB Security> COM: CNS: Well, we show your subject leaving the USS Delphyne along with most of the crew.  She is then picked up several times as she moves toward the promendae area of the station.  We lose her for awhile but then see her again coming out of a clothing store, she made a purchase of some sort. <c>

Host Danvers says:
<SB Security> COM: CNS:  Here's the interesting part:  We see her enter a public restroom.  And she does not leave.

Sec_Bryco says:
::picks up the strands of DNA and the commbadge and leaves::

Host Danvers says:
<SB Security> COM: CNS:  We've sent a team down there to check it out.

CNS_Enki says:
::Could be a lead:: COM: SB_Sec: On your records, do you have recorded any person to have left the restroom who had not entered?

Host Danvers says:
<SB Security> COM: CNS:  ::looks puzzled for a moment.::  I'll have to check that out.  I'll get back to you.

Host Danvers says:
::Fidgets in his chair, annoyed at spending shore leave in a security office::

CNS_Enki says:
::Drat!:: COM: SB_Sec: Understood... ::Almost begins pacing.. that's going to take time, and time isn't something they have a lot of, if their suspect is fleeing::

Sec_Bryco says:
::walks in to sickbay::

Sec_Bryco says:
::looks around for an MO::

CNS_Enki says:
::Turns back to the fidgeting Ensign:: Danvers: Now then, where were we...

MO_Shan says:
::sees Bryco enter:: Bryco: Can I help you?

Host Danvers says:
CNS: Well, you told me my room mate was dead.  And also told me she is wanted for questioning.  You haven't asked me anything yet, and have told me even less.  Just what is this all about?  Sir.

Sec_Bryco says:
Shan: I was hoping you could tell me how old these hairs are and who on the crew they belong to? It is part of the investigation of Lereaux's murder.

MO_Shan says:
::looks at him like he  has just committed a grievous error:: Bryco: they won't be able to be used as evidence in building a case... they weren't properly collected.

Sec_Bryco says:
Shan: Well... I am sure there are more hairs there to be properly collected. ::smiles his most charming smile::

MO_Shan says:
::walks off to the lab muttering:: Self: Dunderhead.... oy!

CNS_Enki says:
::Looks down at her chest at the word "sir" thinking that this uniform is even less flattering than she gives it credit for.  She looks back up and continues:: Danvers: You're right, and this is about your dead roommate who is wanted for questioning.  ::Wonders if she should try to confuse him more::  During this investigation, I am not required<c>

MO_Shan says:
::starts analyzing the hair strands::

CNS_Enki says:
to tell you every detail, only what you need to know.  I'd like to know where you were during the Romulan attack five days ago.

Sec_Bryco says:
::waits somewhat impatiently:: *CNS*: Bryco to Counselor Enki....

Host Danvers says:
CNS: At my battle station, in Main Engineering.  ::looks suddenly troubled::  I wonder why you are so concerned with Lereaux.  There were plenty of dead bodies down there that day.

CNS_Enki says:
::Attempts to avoid his questioning:: Danvers: Indeed... *Bryco*: Go ahead.

Sec_Bryco says:
*CNS*: I found Henderson's commbadge. Presently I am down in sickbay awaiting a DNA analysis.

CNS_Enki says:
*Bryco*: Understood.  ::Looks at the security officers to see if they have anything to ask Danvers::

MO_Shan says:
::returns to main sickbay and approaches Bryco: Bryco: This is really strange.... it appears to be Henderson's but.... there are some markers that are common to Lereaux.

Sec_Bryco says:
Shan: Can I get a PADD that contains that information from you? At least that way I can show it to Enki.

MO_Shan says:
::rolls her eyes:: Bryco: Yeah... sure... next time you want to collect DNA.... try collecting it properly.... ::sighs::

MO_Shan says:
::goes back to the lab, downloads the two samples and places them in a side-by-side comparison view, returns with a PADD to give to Bryco::

Host Wesson says:
::looks at Danvers:: Danvers: In the course of your duties, you would know the shield frequencies...wouldn't you?

Host Danvers says:
Wesson: Well, yes.  That is part of my duties.  Wait...when the ship attacked us our shields were useless.  You think they knew our frequency?

Sec_Bryco says:
::takes the PADD and leaves sickbay, walking down the hall to security::

Host Wesson says:
::leans in:: Danvers: Now you wouldn't happen to have shared those frequencies or how to obtain them with any of your roommates...would you?

Sec_Bryco says:
::walks into security:: CNS: I have some interesting DNA evidence for you. ::presents the PADD to her::

Host Danvers says:
Wesson: What?!  Of course not!  That stuff is strictly off-limits to almost everyone aboard.

CNS_Enki says:
::Takes the PADD and scans it and her eyes follow the helix.. out loud as much to her self as any one else, she asks:: What does this mean...

Host Wesson says:
Danvers; Not even in passing?  I know how young men like to brag to the ladies...

Sec_Bryco says:
CNS: I don't know.... I'm not a medical or science type.

CNS_Enki says:
::Looks up at Bryco's remark:: Bryco: Did I say that out loud?  I'm sorry... it was mostly towards myself.

Sec_Bryco says:
::shrugs:: CNS: Oh... my mistake, sorry ma'am.

CNS_Enki says:
::Smiles:: Bryco: That's alright.

Host Danvers says:
Wesson: Listen Chief, Michelle and I might have been developing something, but I would never, NEVER, put this ship at risk like that.  I mean, look what happened!  That is why no one but a few of us knows the codes.  She came to see me the day before the attack but she never entered Engineering.  And I sure didn't tell her the frequency.

Host Danvers says:
Wesson: Hell, she didn't ask!

Host Wesson says:
::looks at him and then points to another empty office:: Danvers: Thank you Ensign.  If you would please wait in here in case we need to question you further.

Host Danvers says:
::Gets up and storms off to the office.::

CNS_Enki says:
::Ponders this DNA evidence... those sequences shouldn't match.. she taps her commbadge:: *MO*: Doctor, I just received your report, what do you make of it?

Host SB_Security says:
COMM: CNS: (Incoming transmission)

CNS_Enki says:
::Moves to the communications panel:: COM: SB_Sec: Go ahead.

MO_Shan says:
*CNS*: The markers are really strange because they would not be what are normally found when we find people who are related, or close relative markers. It's such an unusual thing that two people in the same ship would have these same markers... the odds against such a thing are... well... astronomical.

CNS_Enki says:
*MO*: Given those things, what could this indicate?

CNS_Enki says:
::Wants to see if the MO will confirm her own thoughts::

MO_Shan says:
*CNS*: I'm not really sure... if I did not know better... I'd think that maybe Lereaux some how became Henderson or vice versa.....

Host SB_Security says:
COM: CNS: Lieutenant, we checked the restroom and also the tapes of the area near it as you requested.  We found Able’smen Lereaux’s comm bade behind one of the commodes.  According to the video logs, one person, a male Bajoran exited the restroom with no record of having entered for at least two hours prior to Lereaux entering. What shall we do?

CNS_Enki says:
COM: SB_Sec: Can you track down that individual, using your video logs?

CNS_Enki says:
*MO*: Thank you, Doctor.

Host SB_Security says:
CNS: Affirmative, we'll try.  Why are we interested in this person anyway?  Are they accused of a crime?

CNS_Enki says:
::Sighs, thinking there's no getting around this with Starbase Security:: COM: SB_Sec: We believe this person has been changing identities, and may be involved in some activities aboard the Delphyne.  If possible, we are trying to fully track down and capture this individual.

Host SB_Security says:
CNS: Alright, we'll let you know when they are in custody.

CNS_Enki says:
COM: SB_Sec: They are a tricky one, too, as they can change shape.  The only way we know that is to check video logs.

Host SB_Security says:
CNS: What?  A Changeling?  Here?

Host Smith says:
::looks up:: CNS: Ma'am...you might want to have the SB Security run a DNA scan on the commbadge and the surrounding area.

CNS_Enki says:
COM: SB_Sec: Unknown.

Host SB_Security says:
CNS: I'm going to lock down the station.

CNS_Enki says:
COM: SB_Sec: That might be a valid move, if the suspect is still aboard.  My security officer here is requesting that you run a DNA scan on the commbadge and surrounding area where you found it, and send the results to them.

Host SB_Security says:
CNS: Alright, we'll work with your people on this.  But now they are on my station so I will be taking over the investigation.  I'll be sending someone to talk to you.  Bring them up to speed.

CNS_Enki says:
::Guess this was unavoidable:: COM: SB_Sec: Understood.  But move quickly, time is of the essence.

Host Smith says:
::mumbles to himself:: Well at least we can finally get some R&R.

Host SB_Security says:
CNS: Understood.  Out.

Host Wesson says:
::looks over at Smith and grins ruefully:: Smith: Yeah....but who gets to tell the Captain?

Host SB_Security says:
Action: A Lieutenant from Starbase Security arrives and begins speaking with Enki, copying all her information about the case.

Sec_Bryco says:
Smith/Wesson: Isn't she on Inu Tontsu? I bet it will all go down better after a few pina coladas....

Host Smith says:
::grins and claps Bryco on the back:: Wesson: I knew I liked this boy!

Host SB_Security says:
Action: After about twenty minutes, a call comes from Starbase Security.  The Bajoran male is in custody.

Host SB_Security says:
Action: All parties involved make their way to the Security office where they see a well dressed Bajoran sitting quietly in a holding cell.

Host SB_Security says:
Action: The head of Starbase Security, a Commander named Briscoe, learns the details of the case from Enki and the Del investigators.

Host SB_Security says:
Action: He is quite interested in the case, but allows Enki and her team the first crack at interrogating the prisoner.  If they'd like.

CNS_Enki says:
::Walks over to the "Bajoran":: Who are you?

Host Bajoran says:
::Sits quietly in his cell, looks up at Enki and smiles pleasantly::  CNS: Who would you like me to be?

CNS_Enki says:
Bajoran: Funny.  Why don't you be a good little boy and tell us what we want to know?

Host Bajoran says:
CNS: Well, what would you like to know?  I'm sure you are just full of questions too.  I must admit, for a counselor you did a good job piecing it all together.  Another few minutes and I'd have been safely aboard that ship, bound for Bajor.  ::Smiles::

CNS_Enki says:
Bajoran: So then you admit your guilt.

Host Bajoran says:
CNS: Oh please lieutenant!  I admit nothing.  Freely.  Ask me your questions and I will answer them.  And you had better hurry, time is running out.

CNS_Enki says:
Bajoran: What time?

Host Bajoran says:
CNS: Why, for you to question me.  ::Smiles::  I am sure that once word of my...talents, reach your Intelligence chiefs, I will be in great demand.  And quite beyond your reach.

CNS_Enki says:
::Thinks he's already beyond his reach, which is the only reason he's still talking at the moment:: Bajoran: What did you get for it?

Host Bajoran says:
Action: The Bajoran suddenly molds and melds itself until a perfect likeness of Michelle Lereaux is sitting in the cell.  CNS: There, maybe you feel more comfortable now.  ::Giggles in Lereaux’s fashion::

Host Wesson says:
::steps back::

Host Bajoran says:
CNS: I was quite well paid, I assure you.  However, it appears my employers sought to keep me from my hard earned wages.  They left me to die on your ship.

Host Smith says:
::watches the thing change shape...slightly nauseous at the motion::

Host Wesson says:
::leans forward:: Lereaux: Who were your employers?

CNS_Enki says:
::Doesn't allow herself to be phased by his show::

Host Lereaux says:
Wesson: Why, your friends the Romulans of course.  Seems you knew too much.  ::Winks::

Host Wesson says:
Lereaux: Knew too much?  You mean this was ordered by the Tal Shiar?

Host Lereaux says:
Wesson: Well, they didn't come right out and say they were, but I could tell.  ::Smiles::  Now, before you ask: No they didn't tell me why you knew too much, but they wanted your ship destroyed.  And an overt attack has that nasty possibility of starting a war.

Host Smith says:
Lereaux: What happened to the real Henderson?  And why Lereaux, she was nothing...barely able to keep her job in waste management?

Host Lereaux says:
Smith: I...took Henderson's place before he left Earth.  I came aboard your ship as him.  Lereaux, well, she was not so innocent as she seemed.  Quite stupid, but not innocent.  ::Smiles::

Host Lereaux says:
Smith: The Tal Shiar made contact with her several months ago.  Seems she was quite unhappy aboard the good ship Delphyne.  They promised her everything she felt she was being deprived of by your good Captain:  Power, wealth, notoriety, rank.  All those perks.  And she was so blinded by the light, she didn't think twice about working for them.

Host Smith says:
::his eyes narrow at that::

Host Lereaux says:
Smith: Of course, she was not the brightest button on the panel so their honeyed words and manners glossed over any doubts she might have had.  Until that fateful day...::Looks wistfully at the ceiling::

Host Wesson says:
Lereaux: Tell us about exactly what happened that day.

Host Lereaux says:
::Smiles, happy to tell the tale::  Wesson: When the Tal Shiar contacted me, I'm sorry, Her, and asked her to pry the shield frequencies out of her green room mate, she refused.  Seems the girl had a streak of honor no one knew about.  Which is where I came in...::Shifts shape again::

Host Henderson says:
Wesson: I was sent as a back-up, in case something like this should occur.  Once Lereaux refused to help the Tal-Shiar, I was given my orders.  I killed her and assumed her identity.  I then set out to romance the dashing young Ensign Danvers.  But he was shy.  ::Chuckles::

Host Henderson says:
ALL: So I had to do it the hard way.  I assumed his identity as well and strolled into Engineering and got the frequencies myself.

Host Smith says:
Henderson: How were you able to get his command codes to access that information?

Host Henderson says:
Smith: it is displayed in Main Engineering silly boy.  Oh, you have to know where to look, but it was easy enough to simply walk past the console when someone was accessing it.

Host Henderson says:
Smith: After all, we were all part of the engineering family right?  ::Laughs::

Host Wesson says:
::growls but restrains himself from throttling the annoying creature:: Henderson: What are you?  A Changeling?

Host Henderson says:
Wesson: ::Scoffs::  Noooo!  I am a Chameloid.  ::Bows::  And you are lucky to meet me.  There aren't many of us left.

CNS_Enki says:
::Thought so... she wishes he would actually admit to it - s/he already has indirectly::

Host Wesson says:
::shakes his head and steps away:: Henderson: If the death penalty was still in effect there would be even one less.

Host Smith says:
::heads out to inform SB Security that the creature can shift into anyone and for them to take extra precautions::

Host Henderson says:
Wesson: I expected you would say that.  ::Smiles::  But, thanks to your wonderful crew and their abilities, I survived the attack on your ship to be of use once again.

Host Wesson says:
CNS: Ma'am...I think I've had enough of this creature's company.

Host Henderson says:
ALL: Yes, I think I am growing fatigued as well.  I must be well rested for my meeting with whichever Admiral wishes to come and visit.  ::Lies down on the small bunk::

CNS_Enki says:
::Nods to Wesson:: Henderson: We have collected enough evidence to see you put away for a long time.  ::Comes close to the force field:: I hope it was worth it, you piece of...

CNS_Enki says:
…Work…

Host Wesson says:
::steps back and waits for the counsellor to leave::

CNS_Enki says:
::Turns her back on the cell and exits::

Host Henderson says:
CNS: ::Looks at her and smiles, almost sadly::  No.  It wasn't.  I am certain the Tal-Shiar has retrieved their money.  ::Sighs:: all that work for nothing.  ::Closes his eyes::

Host Wesson says:
::looks once more at the creature and then follows silently behind the counsellor::
