Write a brief summary of this section, in your own words and add a paragraph explaining your views on the opinions expressed within the section.
Below is a scenario in which you may find yourself. Write a brief outline of how you intend to resolve the situation and then create an In Character post following that plan. Marks will be awarded for realism, technical accuracy, spelling and grammar. For the purposes of this scenario you will act as your own GM and are free to play out anything that would require GM interaction. Bear in mind that there are a number of possible solutions to this scenario and you will not be judged for getting it ‘wrong', only for how well you handle the situation and how well you depict its resolution. Remember when you write out this answer what I have stressed time and time again about the role of a Security Officer.
You are Chief of Security aboard a Pendragon Class Cruiser and you are sent in to negotiate a truce between two warring civilisations, the P'mARt's and the Pring'mela. You beam down with a negotiations team to a secure site to conduct peace talks with the representatives of each race, but halfway through the talks a firefight erupts and half the representatives are killed. A rogue element of the P'mARt's military takes the Federation negotiators hostage, holding them in the negotiations room. The room has only one entrance and no ventilation system, it is in effect a large square stone box protected by a dampening field that prevents transporters from effecting them. The rogue soldiers threaten to kill the hostages unless negotiations cease. Outside of the room now both the P'mARt's and Pring'mela representatives urge you to assist them in resolving this situation and getting the negotiations back on track as they don't wish to see the cause of peace destroyed after so long at war.
