It was just barely watch changeover when Kane activated the comms. Alexis was still asleep, so he spoke low. =/\= Kane to Myqian. Something you should know. Meet me in your office in five. =/\= and he double checked that Alexis and Frigga were still asleep and he noiselessly exited his quarters. He went to the turbo lift and said =/\= XO’s office =/\= and the lift whisked him away.

A few minutes later, Kane stood outside the XO’s office and pressed the chime.

She had been in her office already when he called and told him she was there. “Come in,” Myqian’s voice sounded through the door comm.

Inside, Dira was at her desk reading over yesterday’s reports. Situated in the corner, there were two chairs in front of the desk. A tall open bookshelf sat across the adjacent corner to her left and held many books, including some old texts on psychology from different worlds, as well as some potted plants under lights that trailed down the sides and small silver frames with photographs of family members. Behind her was a hanging weaving in pale blues and greens that mimicked waves.

On the other side of her office was a small sitting area with small black sofa and an oversized teal velvet chair. A handwoven blanket in shades of grey was draped over the sofa.

Dira looked up and folded her arms across the desk. “What can I do for you, Lieutenant?” she asked, her brow furrowed slightly in concern. The urgency in his call had not been missed by the former psychiatrist.

Kane came in and took a seat as if he had been asked to and looked at the XO, hair falling over the side of his face. “So… last night I beat the s&^% outta some Intel Officer named Soulis.” he said matter-of-factly, as if he was discussing the climate inside her office. “Why he was on the ship and in Bonner’s quarters I don’t know. But I do know that he knew she has a phobia of the dark and had blocked her into her room with the lights disabled. And she had apparently fallen through a glass top table and was hurt. So… I think I broke his jaw, definitely broke more than a few ribs, and if he doesn’t have a severe concussion then I’m losing my touch. Drug him out of the room, went to check on Bonner and I heard a transporter beacon activate. He bolted. But I figure I’d let you know… especially since, from what she says, he isn’t the kind to take an a$$ beating too well. She’s worried he’ll be back. And I told my ‘other bosses’ if he does come back I’ll kill ‘em. So… you know… you might get a call or something.”

Myqian took in his rather disjointed revelation apparently very calmly. Though those trained to observe others might notice her eyes narrow ever so slightly and the slight bit of paling around her nail beds as her hands pressed into her arms. “Right, okay. Let’s back up a little, shall we? I think I’m going to need the more detailed version of this story. Especially who this Soulis person is.” Her tone was matter-of-fact and to the point.

Kane shrugged. “Not entirely sure who D&^knose McF$%kpants is. From what Bonner has said, he was maybe her fiance? But he manipulated her into doing some work for Intel and now thinks he has carte blanche to screw with her to get what he wants? I don’t really know all the details.” and he shrugged again. “And don’t really care. Anyone who does that to somebody deserves to get their skull kicked in. I don’t know how he got on board, and I don’t know why he was here. But he did a number on Bonner.”

Rather abruptly, Dira pushed back her chair and rose to her feet. Hands on her hips, she moved over to the shelf, her breathing having picked up but she was forcing it to be slower and more even. When she turned a few moments later to face Kane, there was only one way to describe her expression: cold fury. Many people had and would assume the touchy-feely therapist didn’t have it in her, but they would be incredibly mistaken. Ohhhh so mistaken! “How is Alexis?” she asked, her tone far quieter than her expression indicated it would be.

Commander Myqian, XO

Kane gave her an appraising look… and then nodded once slightly. Finally… an XO with b@lls. he thought to himself. “She’s okay. I took her to my quarters and gave her a pretty potent anti-inflammatory. She’s slept for almost ten hours. Only woke up once, but I got her back settled. Frigga is with her. But… I dont want her to know I talked to you. She’s self-conscious enough as is.”

Kane, R&D
