Cochrane walked into the Ready Room and collapsed into his chair. It wasn’t even ten in the morning and it had already been a long day. He waited for Wyatt to arrive and contemplated the need for whiskey, but waited to see the CoS’s demeanor before he finalized the thought.Cochrane, CO
Having given the Captain a head start and allowing himself time to speak to Faye alone, something which as usual didn’t put him at ease. Nonetheless despite things Luke found himself pressing the door chime of he ready room. The Captain had already asked him to come but he wanted to be respectful of the mans work environment, respectful and professional of course, the last thing he needed to be doing was walking into the Captain’s ready room without knocking first.
“Come in.” came a tense voice and the door slid open.
He waited a moment before deciding to enter, he hoped he was about o be given some more answers more prepared for some more half-truths. Faye’s mental health was at risk, or at least in his non-medical qualified mind was at risk and if something was being played out he hoped it would end soon. “Captain” He greeted with a polite stern nod.

Cochrane looked at Wyatt and said simply “Have a seat.” and he pressed the desk interface and locked the door behind the Security Chief.
Wyatt nodded once and moved to the seat indicated, pulling it back he slowly settled into it and looked to the Captain who he noticed had locked the door. Perhaps finally he was about to get some answers, or another telling off.
Once Wyatt had settled, Cochrane said “What we are about to discuss does not leave this room. It does not get recorded, reported, discussed, or examined outside these walls. Understood?”
Cochrane, CO
His heartbeat rose slightly usually when someone said that a conversation was off the recorded it was because it was against regulation but Luke was slowly learning that some things on this ship had to be against regulation and so he nodded before saying “Of course sir.” He waited impatiently and cautiously.

Cochrane stared at Wyatt for a long minute, seemingly appraising him. Finally coming to some kind of internal decision, Cochrane spoke.
“Calloway is not guilty of anything. Not espionage, not evading arrest… not even assault ona superior officer. She stunned us under my orders, in order to sell her escape and subsequent capture. Follow me so far?”
Cochrane, CO
The security chief nodded slowly, “I’m following. I dont know why but I am sure the reason is about to be explained.” Silently Luke was relieved since her detention Luke had grown somewhat fond of Faye, his original professional interest had turned to personal so to hear she was under orders was something that came as a pleasant bout fo news for him.

Cochrane said “Well… partially. There is a lot more going on than I can tell you. But once we get through this next day or two, maybe Calloway will see fit to let you know.” and he sat forward slightly and said “Now then… there is sufficient evidence, circumstantial as it may be, to convince me that there is a hostile organization at work within Federation Intelligence. Calloway has been targeted by them. We… Calloway, the XO, myself, and Commander Calloway… believe Faye’s ‘handler’ may be compromised. He is coming here under the auspices of getting Faye out of the situation she is in currently. A situation devised by her, I might add. When he arrives, he will talk with her alone after you and I explain the situation. Once he is alone with her… we have to monitor him and record everything. We also have to be in a position to assist Faye if that becomes necessary. I’m sure the man will take precautions against any kind of surveillance. I may have a work around for that. But what I need from you is a plan on how we are going to deal with Mr. Blue.”
Cochrane, CO
Sitting back in his chair Luke finally saw the larger picture, even if he didn’t know everything he at least now knew why things were happening. “I must admit I didn’t expect to be hearing this sort of information.” He sat forward his mind on overdrive, everything now made sense and suddenly he found he had much admiration for Faye and having been kept in the dark so long felt he owed her a huge apology. “It seems that Faye’s safety isn’t at risk. If Mr. Blue is coming to help her then she would only be at risk if he was to find out what we were planning, I would recommend allowing the events to unfold. Moving to quickly could scuttle our chances of uncovering the truth any conventional surveillance systems would be to easily disrupted with enough know-how.”
This was certainly a challenge, perhaps even more than apprehending Faye, “We would have to approach him in a time he feels comfortable, but before I divulge what exactly do you mean by ‘handling’“
