==Mission Eighteen: [[Personal Logs]]==
With the refit of the [[USS Rosenante]] underway after the battle at [[Dovek II]], Ahmed decided to take some time off and enjoy some friendly competition in the boxing arena on [[Starbase Geneva]].  However things did not go according to plan when he was requested by the [[Rank|Admiralty]] to participate in the general mast hearings for [[Detron Trei]] and [[Andrew Elliot Maddox]], two officers that were under his command during the Dovek II incident.

He agreed, and after some deliberation a series of disciplinary actions were undertaken against both the officers. He was later to discover that [[Rank|Captain]] [[Alan Durand]] had resigned from the fleet as a result of his actions at Dovek, despite the fact that Salid and other members of the general Admiralty did not feel his performance was inadequate to the situation.

This temporarily left Salid in command of the [[USS Boudicca]] as well as the [[USS Rosenante]] until [[Rank|Captain]] [[Calvin Capps]]  arrived to take command of the Boudicca.

During this time, [[Rank|Commander]] [[Thomas Jackson]] was reassigned to the USS Boudicca as her first officer, displacing her prior first Officer, [[Rank|Commander]] [[Jennifer Caskie]].

For reasons unclear, Caskie was relieved of her command position and reassigned to the Rosenante as their [[Medical Officer|Chief Medical Officer]]. Ahmed was glad to see her return to the ship.

Also during this Ahmed found himself suddenly involved in a situation with [[Section 31]], when they kidnapped a member of his crew, [[Rank|Ensign]] [[Jessica Signos]] after [[Ahmed Ibn Salid]] had reported her dual nature to [[Starfleet Intelligence]].

The kidnapping was actually a ploy by SFI to flush out the [[Section 31]] Operatives on [[Starbase Geneva]]. Salid became involved when he felt that his officer was placed at undue risk as a result of SFI's slow response to the affectation of her rescue.

Along with [[Eian O'Neill]], his father [[Liam O'Neill]] of the [[USS Kelman]], [[Katherine 'Kitty' Fisher]], and [[Chance Raschen]], Salid put together a rescue team in an attempt to affect her release and to capture or eliminate the [[Section 31]] operatives on the station.

The location of the hostage was located in a phased portion of the starbase, and as soon as the location rejoined normal space, Salid and the others beamed in to rescue Signos.

The operation was a success, capturing one Section 31 Operative,  and eliminating almost all of the others. Only [[George Hayden, Jr.|George Hayden]] the cells handler managed to escape the station.

However, after having O'Neill work up a psychological profile for Hayden, a plan was put into place to draw the cell handler back to [[Starbase Geneva]]. Putting himself into a position to illicit irritation and to appear smug at his victory over Hayden, Salid was able to draw the man back into the Starbase.

Hayden however, was not sloppy. He had taken extreme measures to protect himself, and this time, he used a holodeck to mask his presence. He managed to kidnap Salid, and for a short while torture him until [[Eian O'Neill]] managed to fix the Captain's location.

An assault team [[transporter|beamed in]] to the area and captured Hayden. This operation proved to be a linch-pin for preventing any formal charges from SFI to be levied against Salid and his officers. It did unfortunately put them on Section 31's radar as potential threats, since they were now aware of their illicit existence.

As a direct result of this operation, Salid, transferred, [[Mike Rosenbauer]] to act as his Yeoman, in an effort to provide himself with a bodyguard of some skill. It was a task for which the former [[Starfleet Rangers|Starfleet Ranger]] was well suited.
