[STSF Precip 0]

Mitar was alone in the security bay, with time to think as Manticore attempted to find Cerebrus.

 

Security Chief Precip was pondering how poorly he understood his team.

 

Commander McFly, a likable officer..Precip thought he was also good in the field. Then what happened at Oppo? His second had given away Manticore fearing for another officer's life. That officer Cdr. Kansas Kenickie Precip now knew he was romantically involved with. Mitar did not quite understand all their is to human emotions, but how could Cdr. McFly's feelings for her jeopradize the entire crew of Manticore? Was this just a simple human flaw? Or just one officer's mistake.

 

Commander Faldek, recently married..former member of the Obsidian order. Why did he act so rash? Getting thrown in jail on Atarxis after putting a phaser to a bartender's head...::Precip winced:: There was more to it, Mitar had to admit..he wasnt there. But his actions didn't jive with a former spy. One who has to be undercover for to get his mission accomplished. He apparently served the Order on Romulus; that certainly had to take restraint. But where had it gone? He thought the experience with the Cardassian Spy agency would make Faldek a more cautious individual..But that certainly did not happen on Atarxis. What did Precip not understand about the Cardassian?

 

Commander Kenickie, a.k.a Kansas. Now involved with Commander McFly. Precip got the impression of her as a loose cannon. But admittingly this was the one officer he knew the least about. She was human, comes from an extended family; she had a very tough exterior. Would she make the same mistake Cdr McFly made on a mission? Mitar would have to keep the two apart from AT missions, something that was not Kansas' fault..but that of her...well significant other. Could he trust her with command in the future.

 

Mitar Paused and stared at the streaking stars visable through the viewport. A Commanding officer who did not know the people he was in charge of. Mitar wondered if he was leading Manticore's security on a downhill slope. Perhaps he should not be CSEC if he couldn't yet read his officers. Maybe their problems were the result of his command. He needed to talk to someone ..Captain Sovak, the Admiral..Counselor Farrington. Was he the right Bolian for the job?
