Shadow Dealings - XO Office

Posted May 3, 2019, 12:20 a.m. by Commander Ardashir "Jack" Creed (Executive Officer) (Steven Sigle)

Jack had been in his office staring at the screen for a long moment. This couldn’t be right, the signature was correct. There was nothing to be concerned about, no red flags nothing. Yet recently a small tidbit had come across his desk, or his table to be exact. While in mess hall he heard a tale he couldn’t believe, the tiny little Lieutenant Calloway had worked with S.I. against a Romulan threat before coming here.

“This… doesn’t add up.” he said as he focused he stare at the screen. Since coming into the Delta Quadrant his contacts had been alerting him of threats for some time. His parents death had been over ten years ago, but the threat of their experiments still loomed. No one had been privy to this, not Celina, not his sister… even the new Captain he hadn’t had a chance to talk to as of yet.

Since rejoining Starfleet over three years ago from his mission to Orion, he had been serving a dual role of XO and CIO. The later position though wasn’t something anyone knew. When the last Captain had gone he had only recently informed him a small briefing, S.I. was worried about signs in this quadrant. So now he stood, Captain Cochrene unaware of his role and duties as he kept staring at the screen.

“Lieutenant Faye Calloway, asset.” It was a simple phrase, didn’t mean much to many but it meant she had indeed been working with S.I. before. This may not seem big to many, but no one came to this ship without him being informed if they had any previous dealings with S.I. Yet here he was, a woman who had not rang any bells when she first came… now an asset. “What kind of asset are you…” he asked himself, trailing as he looked to the right of his desk. A small frame of him and Lieutenant Rodriguez stood there, it was a reminder of how his career began with S.I. over six years. It pained him he couldn’t tell her everything, but orders where why they wore these uniforms.

“Well Ms. Calloway, lets see what other secrets you have…” he said, wishing he could bring Celina in on this aspect. She had a knack to finding people’s secrets, she knew something was off with him. Jack had honed his skills more since that encounter, but opening to her then had been the best choice he ever made. It sadly wasn’t a choice he could make right now.

Creed, XO
