“A Memo Quandary”

Lieutenant JoNs sat at a workstation in the main security offices, tapping a claw against the recessed interface and staring at the viewer.

 

It was part of her job to keep Robair informed. Certainly, the mysterious sickbay patient known only as Nelar qualified as need to know information. Even if the security chief already knew of the Klingons presence, JoNs had to keep it “regulation” and inform him as an on site witness. It also wouldn’t do to have the information come to Robair from a third party, namely Nimetti and Spitfire, when Kansas had summoned them for a brief stint guarding an agitated Nelar.

 

The issue was – how much information was too much, and what was too little?

 

“Yes well Chief, I just happened to be in the neighborhood of sickbay trying to get some wounds tended to, and saw our guest.”

 

That was certainly not going to work.

 

JoNs would not admit that she had been wounded during an unauthorized visit to Psi Velorum, which then led to the interrupted ‘bay visit when Nelar had awakened. Self preservation is a wonderful motivator.

 

The Caitian plunged ahead and began to type the report.

Lt. Commander Robair:

 

During the latter cycle of third shift, I was on impromptu patrol rounds and entered sickbay. I was treated to a rather unusual spectacle. There was an unknown Klingon patient there, later discovered to go by the name Nelar. Dr. Levy treated her. Colonel Harper arrived, and then proceeded to question her. I gleaned the following from the conversation: she was apparently found among the wreckage remaining from a ship, the Gideon. Her purpose and motives, if any, are currently unknown, as I was dismissed from the sickbay by Harper at this point. If possible, will inform you of any further developments.

Short, sweet, to the point, and mostly centering on the truth, thank you very much. The Caitian then tapped a quick series of commands, sending the completed memo to Robair’s personal office console.
