The Chief of Security looked down at Byblos who was sitting on a couch in his temporary quarters, which have now been made his permanent quarters until repairs of Comanche Creek were completed. He was angry at what the Nausicaan did, but something kept him back from throwing his full wrath upon Byblos.

 

"I have many questions. And if answered correctly, maybe your Captain will not throw you out the airlock when you return to your ship. Understand Big Guy?"

 

"Yes I do, proceed." Byblos replied simply looking up at the tall human with enough rank insignia visible the Nausicaan pondered how he remained upright.

 

"First for Station Security I need to know how you walked through not one but two prison cell force shields?" the CSEC asked.

 

"Oh..here is your answer, catch." Byblos tossed the Colonel Dixon's little hacking chit to the CSEC who caught it and began looking at it intensely. It did not take long for a comment.

 

"Who gave you this device?"

 

"Your friend in Starfleet Intelligence"

 

The CSEC uttered a profanity under his breath. " I have had it with him. Tavington will be found and that imp DIxon will be out of my hair."

 

Byblos supplied more information. "And yes he wanted me to get intelligence from a pirate about the Dragoons. I believe he wanted me to physically threaten the pirate to see just how strong willed they are." Byblos injected his opinion.

 

"And that is why you are in your quarters right now under guard. I cannot have brawls or haphazard interrogations take place on this station, especially in my own BLASTED BRIG!!! Do you understand that?"

 

"Of course. I deserved to be punished. I clearly was too violent." Byblos smiled at the CSEC.

 

"Oh I know what you are getting at, do not play I am a nice Nausicaan because I did not kill half a dozen people when I came onboard and in my brig. We all are educated about your species."

 

"You are? Could you tell me why I did not kill the Pirate?" Byblos retorted with his own questions.

 

"Okay. You have diplomatic status on your entry here. How the heck that happened Is beyond me. How you are talking to me right now and not getting in my face..is beyond me. I will find out."

 

"Careful Colonel Dixon may find out first." Byblos cautioned.

 

"Back to my questions!" the CSEC blurted. You took the prisoner to another prisoner. The Silver colored woman..on our cameras it sure looked like you intended to. Are you familiar with the female prisoner?"

 

"Yes. The Creek's logs are open to my knowledge of a man of your rank. She and her assoc- former associate came to warn us about the Dragoons and war was coming. She however had some outstanding warrants that led to her being in your brig. She also has talents."

 

"Another one of Mudd's woman..bah," the CSEC spat out.

 

"Do not underestimate her Captain...I think she was going to break the pirate when you guys barged in. She is very intelligent, and very amazingly tough." Byblos meant that after how long she had been hiding in a tiny compartment a few weeks back.

 

"I don't think highly of anyone who works for Harcourt Mudd." The CSEC replied.

 

"You might regret that." Byblos pointed on the table in front of him in emphasis.

 

The CSEC changed the subject "We have audio of the ...crime. You are aware you were yelling at the prisoner as you beat him. Mentioning what he did , allegedly against the Creek. You took that attack on the Comanche Creek personal. I find that..remarkable that a Nausicaan would care about Federation lives. Clearly not laws...but you....

 

Byblos startled the CSEC with a lightning fast reply. "I saw those Dragoons shoot our pilots after they had ejected from their fighters like sport. That pissed me off. So I agree, there was some ...emotion in my actions.

 

"Emotions..Mr. Byblos you shattered the guys ribcage with your emotions. Yet you did not kill him. I do not know what to make of you. You are clearly Nausicaan yet you did not finish him....I still cannot believe that guy is alive." The CSEC shook his head out of disbelief.

 

"Perhaps your file on Nausicaans needs updating." Byblos suggested.

 

"Don't mock me or our records Mr. Byblos, but I would like to debrief you on your culture. Clearly we are missing some things about Nausicaans..Aside from your size and strength, you are not entirely what you seem to be. That is a gut feeling..and when I get gut feelings...I want to get answers," the CSEC clearly stated.

 

Well, if the Comanche Creek does not get repaired soon. You will have time. I am not going anywhere. But, you are in a footrace with Col. Dixon. No doubt he read my medical check up coming in." Byblos floated a suspicion of his.

 

"Patient files they are supposed to be.....Damn Him...Damn him to...." The CSEC bolted out the door leaving Byblos by himself alone.

 

But he would not be bored. He had more LCARS panels to study in this quarters to pass time. And brace himself for the wrath of the Comanche Creek's command staff.
