Dasca snorted. =/\=Well, fortunately for me we seem to have an understanding. As for the situation, let me fill you in…=/\= she said before walking him through the unfolding of events and the speculation from Duroc that was hard to dismiss. She tried to contain that spark of fury when she relayed how Vargas was treated, but it still showed briefly in her eyes.

Once she laid it out, Eela huffed. “I am definitely going to be talking to our Lieutenant Commander who instigated the incident and he’s not going to like that conversation, I assure you, but if Lord Duroc is even a tiny bit right, we’re on shaky ground, Kenzo. One misstep would be all it took. I am in agreement that a calm statement from him and I is the best next step to take, but in the background we have a whole lot of ways that things are precarious.=/\= She leaned in towards the screen. =/\=Someone is playing a long game and is steps ahead of us. My being new allows for things to slip under the radar because there was a gap in leadership. I can fix that, but not if I don’t know what damage has already been done.=/\=

~Eela Dasca, Lt. Gov.

Kenzo was silent a moment and then gave a small but brief smile. =/\= Welcome to Oed V, Lieutenant Governor. First rule is that thee is always someone or some someones trying to disrupt our barren little paradise. But yes… this is concerning, and I am never one to dismiss Lord Duroc’s intuitions when it comes to subterfuge. He has survived over a hundred assassination attempts, after all. =/\= and he smiled again briefly.

=/\=I find myself trusting him as well,=/\= Dasca said.

=/\= Make your statement, Captain. Sooner rather than later. I agree that it should not sound reactionary, but more as a mild surprise that the situation was blown out of proportion. I trust you and Lord Duroc to craft an appropriate response. When you finish there, I think a meeting with some of our Law Enforcement and Intelligence personnel is in order. My office in three hours. I would recommend your new Fleet Security Director attend as well. This does, after all, effect us all. See you then, Eela. =/\= and the screen went blank.

Hyrushi, Governor

Eela sat for a moment before rising and reclaiming her coat from the back of the high-backed chair. Slipping it on, she reclaimed that tiny bit of armour she’d need in the coming minutes and hours. Today was going to be a long day.

Stepping out of Urg’s office, she found Lord Duroc and joined him, her gaze holding resolve as she gave him a nod. “Let’s do this shall we?”

This was not a press conference, so questions would be entertained as the pair made their address outside the front entrance. The statement went smoothly enough, Eela stating that there had been a misunderstanding and that Starfleet meant no disrespect to Hourse Duroc, and that their partnership was very important to both Starfleet and Oed.

As they retreated back into the embassy, Eela’s mind was awhirl with all the things she needed to do before she met with everyone. But she did stop and regard Urg for a moment. “That should do for now, but I think that went well enough.” She was much calmer than earlier but underneath she could feel that anger and frustration still simmering. All she knew was that she needed it well in check before she conducted any ‘interviews’ with the Starfleet personnel involved. Losing her sht there would not do anyone any good. That didn’t meant Captain* Dasca wasn’t going to make their day even more unpleasant than it had bene already, of that they could be well assured.

~Eela Dasca, Lt. Gov.

Urg grunted. “Indeed. And I will be sure to send a written communique to Star Fleet Headquarters expressing my appreciation of your timely response and ensure that House Duroc harbors no ill-will to Star Fleet.” and as the doors to the outside closed the massive Klingon suddenly whirled around and bent over to look Dasca in the eye from mere centimeters away and growled “But I do expect to see those arrogant pieces of targ-dung punished for the transgression, Captain. Up to an including that QI’yaH who got Vargas into this at the start. Understanding I can be, Captain… but I am still Klingon. And some things just cannot be allowed to stand.” and he stood up and crossed his arms on his chest. “And know that if this insult is deemed worthy of only a smack on the wrist… then I want to be the one doing the smacking.” and he turned and started walking down the great hallway.

Urg, Lord Duroc
