Toveka moved out of Medical and headed for the Science labs on deck 14. She knew she should check in with the CO, but medical had cleared her. The ship came first.

As she came around the corner, she called out to the folks in the hall. One was just outside her office, the other two were a bit away and disappearing down the hall. “BALDUR!” she called out to see who would turn and answer. Her hair was in a braid and her uniform looked clean and well fitted, though it definitely wasn’t her best. She looked like she hadn’t slept in a bit and was a bit run down.

Just around the corner, a large man in a red uniform turned around. He was taller than the scientist and much wider, filling an impressive figure of both muscle and fat. His face was covered in a dark beard split into two intricate braids, his hair short and carefully combed. He smiled at the woman, his teeth giving quite the contrast to his dark beard “That would be me” His voice deep and booming, he was at least ten or fifteen years the Romulan’s senior. He studied her face, a Romulan with slightly human features and striking blue eyes, it didn’t take him long to realize who this was “Lieutenant Brine I assume, I’m Commander Baldur Bragason, Baldur is fine” He put a large hand out.

There was a small smile on her face, but it was quickly covered. She shielded herself harder with her professional persona and nodded. “Baldur. Yes, please call me Toveka.” She put her hand out and shook his before releasing it a bit too quickly.

Baldur looked down at his hand for a moment, slightly surprised by her quick handshake. He moved on with no comment.

She quickly turned to the door across from the science lab and palmed open her office door. She hadn’t been in there in a while, but it was just as she left it. There were various nicknacks around under small domes of glass. But if you looked closely, they were small artifacts pieces and shards from things like vases and pottery. The largest piece was a rock twice the size of a man’s head on the coffee table in the center of the room. It was flanked by two large couches, a smaller chair on opposing sides of the awkward looking square of furniture. “Come on in,” she said and motioned to the seating cluster. “Can I offer you a drink?”

“I wouldn’t say no to some English breakfast tea” He said with a smile.

She moved to the replicator and got herself some tea. While waiting for his answer, she plowed on. “Doc said you had an artifact. Something that couldn’t be figured out. Start from the beginning.” She turned and looked at him, her eyes walking up and down watching him as he moved.

“Well, the science team discovered a tablet earlier today that shared the same characteristics to the rock Doctor Stone excised from her patient. According to their records, it had disappeared but something similar was scanned in the commercial district. That plus the strange lady that appeared in Ops and some hostile Romulans, it’s been quite the day” His tone was only partially cheerful “My thought was to investigate the two other occurrences and try to find out any connections, hopefully discover something that the other two teams missed or couldn’t find out due to lack of corroborating evidence.

She walked over and handed him the cup of tea on a saucer. “You said tablet. Do we have scans of it still? Before my … I left… we had been investigating a similar artifact. It was a tablet section. It disappeared as well. We never found it. Assumed the collectors that had acquired it had taken it.” She had started pacing with annoyance. Whether it was at the disappearance or something else, it was hard to tell.

Baldur accepted the cup with a nod.

“Tell me about the rest.” She moved to sit on the couch, realizing she was pacing. She set the tea down but picked up and absently fiddled with a small stone that had been hidden in the shadow at the base of the large stone on the table. Leaning back on the couch, she frowned.

“When I arrived to Ops a strange woman appeared out of thin air, she seemed to possess some sort of teleportation or transporter ability, she gave off chronometric readings. Similar readings came from the Klingon patient. A trill patient had disappeared and this strange woman would appear to have been that person, she then disappeared. I then headed down to sickbay to see this object Doctor Stone briefed you on.” He paused to take a sip from his tea, apparently pleased with it he continued “She alluded to pieces of a puzzle so I think investigating these three objects may lead us to whatever it is we’re being pointed to.”
