(USS Boudicca - Rivers' Personal Quarters - Champlain CO Captain Susan Rivers - 0000)

Sevant said briefly, =^=Acknowledged=^= then closed the channel.

Susan looked at Leonal, then at the body on the floor. She shuddered slightly. "I don't know about you," she said as she made her way back to the sofa and began digging through the box there, "But I could do with a stiff drink."

She pulled out a bottle containing a pale-blue liquid, and two glasses. "Springwine?" she asked, pouring herself a glass.

(reply Leonal iyw)

As Susan took a drink from her glass, the door opened and Sevant entered. He quirked an eyebrow and gestured to the body interrogatively.

"It's Casely," Susan said abruptly. "Or it was. It seems he was the spy."

She gave the Boudicca Captain a run-down of the events of the last quarter of an hour, and showed him the message from Ohlsson about the real Casely's body turning up behind a wall in a hardly-used part of Geneva.

"It fits," she said. "The messages to ships on our side in the battle that sent them off in wrong directions. Even the Hanwary murder. And I imagine if you have someone search his quarters, and break down all his messages and computer files, you'll find plenty of proof. Maybe even a list of his contacts."

She looked at Leonal, suddenly aware that he had known nothing of this. "As you'll have gathered, I was originally sent here to seek out a spy. I have a feeling there's more to this than just one person; in fact it's likely since I don't see Casely, or whatever his real name was, working with a sleaze like Hanwary directly." She turned back to Sevant. "That will be for Stolev and his team to pursue, I would imagine? Unless you wanted to put Commander Stakes in charge?"

"It's Casely," Susan said abruptly. "Or it was. It seems he was the spy."

Sevant frowned and knelt by the body as Rivers ran down the events preceding
all this. He took a look at the body, for all intensive purposes, it looked
like Susan herself.

"It fits, The messages to ships on our side in the battle that sent them off
in wrong directions. Even the Hanwary murder. And I imagine if you have
someone search his quarters, and break down all his messages and computer
files, you'll find plenty of proof. Maybe even a list of his contacts."

He stood back up when Rivers began explaining the situation to his MXO,
before she turned back to him and said "That will be for Stolev and his team
to pursue, I would imagine? Unless you wanted to put Commander Stakes in
charge?"

"No, this is for Security." He tapped his badge, "Security to Captain
Rivers' quarters, on the double." 

(reply: Security)

He crossed his arms and looked at her, "There are too many secrets aboard my
ship Captain, I'm glad one of them at least has been put to rest. Even so,
this attack is probably a prelude of things to come. Until you're aboard the
Kitty Hawk, you will have a small security detail... along with Mr. Drizzt."

~I'm glad I slept till 1800 hours other wise Id be dead tired right about now, I just wish there was something more to do~ Thought Lorak as he was checking the ships tactical specs, when he was called apon by Captain Sevant.
 
Lorak's commbadge chirped. =^=Security to Captain Rivers' quarters, on the double.=^= 

Lorak replied quickly to his order. "Yes Captain I'm on my way."
 
Lorak stopped his checks and left the Bridge and headed for the closest turbolift, while calling for two security officers to meet him en route to his final destination.

Sevant crossed his arms and looked at her, "There are too many secrets aboard my ship Captain, I'm glad one of them at least has been put to rest. Even so, this attack is probably a prelude of things to come. Until you're aboard the Kitty Hawk, you will have a small security detail... along with Mr. Drizzt."

Susan looked at Sevant for a moment, then shook her head. "Not necessary," she said. "I don't need babysitting."

Sevant quirked an eyebrow, "I wasn't making a suggestion. You've been targeted once, I won't take the risk you will be again until you take your new command. You will have a minimal guard."

Susan narrowed her eyes. "I don't see that it's necessary. I can take care of myself. And as you so rightly pointed out, Major Drizzt will also be around so.."

"Whether you see it or not, the guard is still with you for as long as you're on the ship. " Sevant said, crossing his arms behind his back. He gestured to the body on the ground, "Unless you would rather take the bet that more of these will be around?"

Susan sighed. She could tell this was an argument she wasn't going to win. "No, I guess not," she said reluctantly. "Very well, I agree. Until I take command of the Kitty Hawk I'll put up with the minimal guard."

Sevant nodded once, as if there had never been any doubt in his mind that she would acquiesce. In reality, there hadn't been, the Boudicca was his command. He couldn't order her any longer, but he COULD order anyone he liked attached to her.

Lorak and two other security officers came to Rivers' personal quarters. "you 2 stang guard out here." Lorak had said as he entered the room.
 
"Sir" was all Lorak had said to the Captain as he looked around the room not stunned or taken back at the sight.
