Clifton: Well, you won't be in the dark any longer, Gavin.  Reach under the control panel, you'll find two phasers.  Give one to me, take the other one yourself and set it on heavy stun.  We're about to have a guest, but before we bring her aboard I'd like you to look in the rear section in the aft cabinet.  I took the liberty of bringing along a set of molecular binders, some rope and a scarf.

Gavin: Scarf? What's that for?

Clifton: The scarf is for her face, if she starts talking non-stop, feel free to gag her mouth.  I'll look on it as a personal favor.  Okay, get ready.

:: Clifton activated the shuttle emergency escape transporter, locked on to Silva and energized.  In a few seconds Silva appeared atop the small platform looking both shocked and angry. ::

Silva: What is going on!  I demand to be returned to my ship!

Gavin: I'm afraid not. Ye're taking a different trip

Silva: This is illegal, it's kidnapping!  

Gavin: :: putting on the restraints. :: Ah, nay. This is being arrested. Explain it to her, Commander Clifton.

Clifton: Afraid, so.  You're being charged with crimes against the Federation, serious crimes at that.

Silva: Crimes? I have done nothing!  I will see that you two are kicked out of Starfleet for this outrage.

Gavin:: silent but listening to Silva's thoughts as he examined the documents they had taken.:: Sit down Ms. Silva. We've a short flight before turning ye over to the authorities at the space station.

Silva: I will enjoy seeing you two end up looking like fools.

::Gavin secured Silva to the seat, then moved forward to sit by Clifton. He whispered.

Gavin: There's something verra wrong.

Clifton: Really?  Like what?

Gavin: She's not afraid, not concerned at all.

Clifton: She can't be that dumb, we've got enough on her to send her away for years.

Gavin: lowering his voice further: Ye're nay going to like it. Not only is a lot of that information real and sensitive, she got it from your buddy. He's in on it.

Clifton: What?

:: Clifton saw no way that Gavin could be right, he had known the station Security Chief for years.  At the same time he had never known Gavin to speak without having all the facts, it seemed too incredible to believe, but then again what if it was? ::

Gavin: She's thinking so loud, you should be able to hear her.

Clifton: quietly whispering : Sure wish I could, is she thinking of anyone else, I mean any co-conspirators?

Tag: Gavin

Clifton: This makes no sense, I'd stake my reputation on the man I know there.  Then again, I've seen betrayal before at high levels.

Tag: Gavin

Clifton: The ship she was meeting just left the area at high warp, it looks like they got nervous.

Just sent in a sim. I sent it through my icloud email since the Yahoo keeps scrunching it up. I hope it arrives okay.
   I tried to give you a lot of options. We can redo if it doesn't work for you.
   Hope your weekend is a good one. I have my yarn group coming today. I always. enjoy them. We make things to put in Operation Christmas Child boxes. We work on them all year.  It's the kind of thing we can do on our own, but it's fun to get together a couple of times a month just for the fellowship...or as one person said, "Lady talk." She lives with her son and daughter in law and likes to just get away with contemporaries. :) Bonny loves when they come because she loves people and these people always sneak her little snacks!
  Have a blessed day,

 Mer
