As the teary eyed and distraught parents of his late Executive Officer stared back on the screen at the Admiral, he felt a knot in his stomach. This was by far the worse part of any CO’s duty and it never got any easier. Ries’ mother delicately blew her nose, her eyes red from too much weeping, his father stoicly with a clenched jaw replied. =^= Thank you Admiral, we appreciate you notifying us in person… =^=

Aldridge bowed his head solemnly and nodded. =^= Of course Ambassador, I’m so sorry for your loss…=^= he added quietly. The two parties stared back at each other for a few moments, there really was nothing more either could say. =^= I will let you know the results of our investigation and please do let us know if we can do anything, =^= Aldridge added as he gulped his emotion back and tried to remain professional. Ries’ mother shook her head and ran off screen whilst a single tear rolled down his father’s cheek. “Understood, Ambassador Ries out. =^= his father quickly added and ended the transmission hastily.

As the screen went blank in front of him, Aldridge let out a melancholy sigh and put his head in his hands. He still had no idea what was going on which frankly frightened the life out of him. He had hand picked his crew for this mission and he trusted them with his life…at least he thought he did. As Aldridge poured over the reports of the past days for the 20th time a terrifying thought came over him, what if one of his crew had done this? There seemed to be no evidence of anyone else present at the crime scene except for the counsellor, could she be more than she seemed? As the paranoia started to creep in, the message popped up on his screen to notify him that the away team from the Viking had arrived. He knew he didn’t have much time before they arrived at the command centre so he quickly opened a priority 1 comm line to Captain Ravenfall.

=^= Admiral Aldridge to Captain Ravenfall, we need to talk…in private… =^= he added, double checking the room was secure.
