Lt. Cmdr Rebecca Iko -- I'm Not Shelby Crew.
Rebecca Iko
Ser: I hope you will not be offended, Commander, if I say that I do hope our people have more sense than that… A war between Hovans would be absolutely devastating. If someone is trying to foment unrest among the people with these actions in hopes of escalating some sort of conflict, we simply must get to the bottom of it – as swiftly as possible… Have either of you been able to recover anything?
Bec was ever so grateful at being able to make her leave from the Shelby early. They had done nothing but frustrate her. Answer questions, coordinate relief efforts, get everything they needed. It had been annoying and stressful and she would have much rather have been on the ground.
But now she was. Now that most of the chaos had surpassed admittedly, but still. The Shelby wasn’t her ship and she didn’t like being on it for too long.
Bec handed a PADD each to Ser, Aitas and Lael.
Iko: Fire was completely intentional. Set off at around the same time the vessels were stolen. Designed to burn out some of the logs, and unfortunately it didn’t do a half bad job. There’s several teams on the Shelby who are working on trying to restore them.

Ser: What does that mean? Can we deduce how they were able to take the ships?
Iko: It’ll be a hell of a lot easier once we can get what they were trying to hide, but we can work with what we’ve got in the meantime.

Now someone was calling Mr. Sir Ser. Who—by the way—seemed a fair bit more flustered and also willing to listen then he did before.
Hovan: =/\= Fleetmarshall – We have received the recovered vessels, towed by the Federation starship. Senor Dil has been taken into custody, though he insists he was not personally responsible for commandeering the vessels and was only following his orders. =/\=
They had a name. And from Ser’s reaction, he’d dealt with this guy before.
Ser: Perhaps this case will not be so difficult to solve after all. Senor Dil has been troublesome in the past… However, his credentials had been disqualified from accessing these restricted areas. Someone else with access would have had to have been involved. ::Activating his comms:: =/\= Has he identified who gave him the orders? =/\=
Hovan: =/\= No, Fleetmarshall. So far, he has vehemently refused to give them up. =/\=
Ser: Now we have two paths to investigate, it would seem. What we uncover in the files may be corroborated by Dil – if he can be persuaded to talk. Perhaps, if we are able to recover evidence and show him what we know, he may be more inclined?
Bec nodded.
Aitas/Rosek-Skyfire: Response
Iko: The Shelby’ll be giving us a ping as soon as they find anything.
Another reason she didn’t like being up there. Watching them all try and work it out was infuriating and all she wanted was for people to hurry up and give her the answer. So as soon as she could, she’d come back down and told them to shoot her a comms.
Aitas/Rosek-Skyfire/Ser: Response
In the meantime, they needed to look for other evidence.
Iko: What do your encrypted transmissions look like?
Aitas/Rosek-Skyfire/Ser: Response
Bec crossed her arms.
Iko: If he’s been “following orders”, we need to find those orders. And I’d assume they wouldn’t be out for just anyone to find. If we know what we’re looking for…
Aitas/Rosek-Skyfire/Ser: Response
Iko: And who was piloting the second scout? If one won’t talk, maybe the other will.
