“Firstly, I have not for one minute thought being a member of starfleet, even as a security officer, would be easy.” Starr responded. “I guess I have a habit of needing to know what’s going on, and make sure the rest of the crew are safe.” He thought more deeply for a moment.

“Also, as a sort of… personal project, I guess, I’m trying to find out if someone is ok, and I’ve spent the last five years in the dark on something, and I don’t like it,” he sighed. “Security definitely is the best place to train to look for someone, but it is a big galaxy. On the offchance I can send an update , my mother and father might stop worrying about me in space,” he finished.

Nijix leaned back into her chair once more. Her eyes studied the Cadet for a long moment while an internal conversation went on between Raji and herself. She knew this was beyond her own individal experience. So in response to it, she drew upon Raji’s memories and the issues that might come from it.

”I don’t like it. This can lead to serious trouble…” Raji began, his imaginary figure held his arms crossed over his chest and face scrunched up in disapproval.

”What makes you say that?” Nijix shot a brief glance into the air beside her.

” That type of hidden desire can cause a cadet to derail a mission and get himself, or others, killed. There’s hope things are all right, but I have doubts. Things like this rarely turn out well.”

Nijix frowned at the evidence presented by Raji’s life. A job butchered, the culprit disappeared, and three lives lost due to one Trill’s personal agenda. Everyone could easily see that their intentions were good, but the emotion ruined the execution. It was enough to rip anyone apart from the guilt.

The Chief of Security exhaled, then addressed the subject. Her eyes fixed upon the Cadet once more as she finished her inner conversation with herself.

“Who is it that you are worried is not all right and why? You wouldn’t have went through all the trouble to join Starfleet if it was a minor issue,” Nijix pointed out.

She decided the full story was better than assumptions and questions over his main motivation, her expression returned to a neutral one while she waited for his answer.

Starr let out an exhale. “My brother went missing five years ago, we haven’t heard anything from him since he left. He left with a trader so we thought he’d be in contact, but his gone silent. I just want to make sure his OK. For the whole family’s sake, not just my own. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not looking to bring him back, just to know his ok - and that something bad hasn’t happened.” He responded.

“His pretty strong minded, so if his got himself in a situation, he’ll hopefully get out of it - but not hearing anything for five years, especially with the technology that’s around now.” He thought a moment. “I mean if his been captured by pirates, or if his ship is dead in space, finding out what happened may lead to further information; though I’m not going on a personal manhunt, if our paths cross then hopefully I can get some answers,” he concluded

Nijix absorbed his story then chose her words carefully. Five years were a long time and there was explanation left, one which might cause Cadet Starr to become angry.

“There’s also one other, unsavory option. Sometimes experiences or personal choice makes an individual want to vanish. If you don’t object, would you tell me about your brother’s relationship with your family and yourself?”

She needed to rule out the family as the possible cause for the brother’s reason to disappear. After the words slipped from her lips, she inwardly braced herself for the outcome and if the Cadet chose to let his emotions rule his common sense. Her expression remained underneath the mask, but she empathized with the loss. Not because she ever experienced it. Raji had been given cases of missing individuals, from children to adults, and knew time was critical. After twenty-four hours, the victim usually was never found again.
