Sigh

"Sigh"

Log entry 29: 03 September, 2155

 

Why me? Sergio thought to himself as he sat and stewed in the shuttlepod. The traitorous Ensign Connor and his assistant Ens. Vank, were headed to the crippled Defiant for damage control. He kept a close on eye on Ens. Connor. Sergio didn't trust him one bit.

 

The evidence and charged against Connor were both very serious; Entering a classified location without authorisation, fighting, possession of that hacking device, breaking into said classified location, insubordination, conduct uncoming... and that's just the beginning. Under Starfleet's new S8-A5 General Security Order, Ensign Connor could very much spend the rest of his life, or a fair chunk of it behind bars.

 

Or, if he's lucky, simply get off with a court-martial. Sergio didn't know enough about Andorians to tell if he was guilty or not, but something about the way he looked and talked during his interrogation, gave him the feeling that he wasn't entirely truthful of what he said.

 

The same went for that Bolian he'd interrogated earlier. Sergio mentally kicked himself that he managed to get away, even if there wasn't anything he could've done about it. To make matters worse, the shuttle pod was headed to fix the damage to the Defiant they caused, when someone hacked into their weapons and opened fire on them and blew off their nacelle.

 

Sergio wasn't sure who did that, and again... the evidence points to Connor and Ens. Lazurus. Connor, who left his room without permission was spotted in Engineering, tapping on a console. Sergio made sure to note this when he took a PADD out from his pocket and began writing:

END REPORT.

 

Sergio could do nothing but sigh at his predicament. This sure was some first assignment as Chief of Security. Times like this, made him wish he'd stay in Science where his only worries were catalouging starcharts or new flora and fauna of a new planet.

 

But as Sergio sent the message to Moore and Cole, he was determined to utilise any resource he could to land Connor and Lazaurus in the brig and eventually a seat on a transport back to Earth for trial. As much as Sergio hated S8-A5, Starfleet had a valid reason to implement it.

 

Darned if he would let some newbie wet behind the ears ensigns screw around with the Challenger and endanger the ship and her crew. Orders were orders and Sergio was compelled to do his job. It's not like he has a choice, either. This wasn't really what Sergio was hoping for as his first assignment as CSEC. Nonetheless, he maintained his gruff exterior determined to do his job by the book.
