OOC: I’m starting a side sim set to help keep people posting until our GM returns.

IC: It was a few days after the Viking had left the anomaly known as the Devil’s Castello. Unexpectedly at around 15:00 both Nakuto & Sigmundsson received a text message that simply read ‘Wanted to see how you’re doing. Come find me for a catchup.”

It would not take the pair long to trace the source of the message via a number of internal terminals back to a computer terminal in the Thunderdome. If they were to check the sensors for the room the only life sign they would detect was the XO’s son. The audio and video feeds were not working…

Peter had been in his office reading through the weekly intelligence reports. The glamorous life of an intelligence officer was more or less reading classified reports and analyses, monitoring ship transmissions and classifying necessary reports. When he received a message on his console he was immediately interested, not ignoring the fact that he wasn’t expecting a message and wasn’t sure what this involved. He got one of his subordinates to take over his post as he traced the message. After noting where it came from he sent Kara a message, having noted she was also a recipient of this message. ‘Going to T-Dome, come prepared’ He sent, implying the obvious. He opened his drawer and drew out a type two phaser in a holster and attached it to his waist and made his way to the turbolift.

After a few minutes, he arrived. Outside the entrance, he checked the internal sensors. He frowned as he identified the child of Commander Akorem. Why would a message addressed to the pair of officers engaged in a covert investigation of their first officer lead them to his 9-year-old child. He waited a moment before entering, seeing if Captain Nakuto would be joining him soon.

The console at the entrance was the one used to send the message, but a scan of the console would show that the boy had not used it, not even to open the door, let alone send a message. The console would also show that none of the doors to the Thunderdome were locked and anyone could enter or leave at any time they wished. It was almost like an invite to just walk in…

Peter looked at the results of his slight scan and quietly cursed. Normally in a situation such as this, he’d call security and the XO but these circumstances were extenuating and with his private investigation into the first officer just now starting he couldn’t show his hand just yet. Peter drew his phaser and set it to high stun then holstered it again, if need be he could quickdraw faster than expected. He then double-checked his sleeves for the short throwing blades he kept there. Lastly, he zipped down his jacket and put his hand in, adjusting the strap on his larger combat knife, perhaps too many weapons to carry during regular duty on a Starfleet Vessel but the nature of the Viking kept you on your toes. Satisfied that he was subsequently prepared for any situation he opened the door and entered, Kara could follow in but he didn’t feel comfortable waiting any longer.

The doors parted revealing the access to the arena between the rows tiered bleacher seat. In the middle of the Thunderdome arena Antos sat in the sand but he was not alone. The man with him was thin and wearing an ill-fitting Starfleet uniform. The pair were talking and drawing with their fingers in the sand.

The man look around and Peter would recognise him as Matthew Grimshaw.

“I wondered how long it would take you?” he called. He got up, erased the drawings in the sand with his feet and started walking with the child towards where Peter was. He stopped about a metre inside the arena with Antos at his side.

“Remember what I said, son” Junior said looking down at Antos, “Don’t tell your Dad. I want my visit to be a surprise.”

The visitor crouched down and hugged Antos. It was clear that there was some familiarity between the pair as the child hugged back.

“I won’t spoil it,” Antos replied.

Junior rose and ushered the boy onwards towards the door that Peter had just come in through. The man did not speak until Antos had left and the door had closed shutting out the corridor.”So is it just you, or is the half-breed skulking in the shadows like a coward?” he asked glancing suspiciously at the gaps between the tiers that Nakuto could have gone down.

-Junior

If Peter was surprised by the appearance of Junior he didn’t show it outwardly, he viewed the scene with a certain curiosity but that was it. He stayed silent until the doors closed and he was certain the child was gone”Perhaps” He said looking at the man with the same stoic face as before when they’d talked first “Entirely unimportant” He took a step closer to Grimshaw, looking down at him with his intense gaze shifting his weight carefully. “Now, you have until my shift ends to tell me why you called me here” His head cocked slightly “Which gives you a few minutes. If you bore me or insult Captain Nakuto again in those few minutes I’ll have to take this off” He nodded towards his Starfleet Combadge “Then remove something of you” His tone was the same casual as when he’d threatened the Former officers life no more than a week ago.
