(( Launch Bay - Afalqi Project Launch Control - Meranuge IV ))
They were all digging and although Jetripar had provided them with a data rod that Vitor now held, he still wasn’t sure how much he could be trusted.
Vitor took another step away from the group. His eyes rested on what looked like a control station, then he turned around, looking for what could be the control center.
MacKenzie: We're going to do our best to get to the bottom of this, Mister Secretary. ::to the others:: Where would you like to begin?
Vitor narrowed his eyes and looked at Zie as if signaling “my turn”
Silveira: Who figured out that it was Chief Engineer Havun who took the Afalqi?
Jetripar's eyebrows raised high.
Jetripar: Who else could it have been? I knew immediately when I heard it was missing.
MacKenzie: It sounds like you had suspicions of the Chief Engineer for a while...
Breys: Response
It was Vitor’s time to put on his “charming diplomatic smile” as he stepped closer to Secretary Jetripar.
Silveira: I see… Secretary if you don’t mind me asking… ::he glanced at Zie:: Where were you when the ship was reported missing?
Jetripar: I was on my commute to the office when my assistant informed me. It seems the custodial staff was running behind that morning, but they reported the irregularity immediately upon discovery.
Jetripar paused, but spoke again, standing straighter as he was offended by Vitor’s question.
Jetripar: Surely you aren't attempting to imply that I could have played a role in this horrendous theft!
MacKenzie: We're simply trying to get a more clear picture of what happened, Mr. Secretary.
Breys: Response
Vitor kept his smile, he couldn’t see Zie’s expression and he wasn’t sure if she was mentally facepalming herself. Or tapping the “express airlock” button on her desk.
As the old expression went, lost by a hundred, lost by a thousand.
Silveira: I am trying to figure out the motive, that usually helps in finding out the truth. And honestly I am not ruling anyone out of a potential suspect list. Maybe Chief Engineer Havun is being framed…
Jetripar: Havun is most assuredly responsible for this heinous crime. He was observed here the night of the theft, outside of his usual duty shift, and his codes were used to access the bay. Surely that was in the report provided you and should make it clear that he is the one who has absconded with my ship!
MacKenzie: Well, just because it was in the report doesn't make it true, though we'll absolutely take that into account...
Breys: Response
K’Wara: Well, that rules that out. It would still be helpful if we could have a list of potential co-conspirators that helped him from inside launch control though… ::looks to Jetripar:: Do you keep extensive records of anyone who enters the control room throughout the day?
Jetripar: Everyone who passes through a security check is logged automatically, matching their ID with their biometric data. Launch control itself is also protected by a pass code, individual to each employee.
Silveira: Makes sense, that can be a good place to visit as well.
Breys: Response
K’Wara: I think it’s an avenue worth pursuing, Captain. Perhaps Commander Silveira or myself should accompany the First Secretary to cross-reference that list?
Vitor noticed a slight hesitation in Jetripar, but it looked like the Secretary managed to recover quickly enough.
Jetripar: I would be happy to take you to our security office. Perhaps there might be further information there as well that could assist in your investigation.
Jetripar went to a nearby comm panel.
Jetripar: =/\= This is Secretary Jetripar. Could you secure your post and come inside, please? =/\=
As ordered a security guard came through the door.
Jetripar: I will be leaving these Starfleet officers here. Please attend to them in my absence.
Vitor hoped Tamio was the one selected. He had antagonized the Secretary enough, at least for now, and he was curious to see what the data rod could reveal them.
MacKenzie: Commander K'Wara, go with Secretary Jetripar.
Vitor nodded. Even if they were still escorted he hoped they could also make some progress.
Breys: Response
K’Wara: Understood, Captain. ::looks to Jetripar:: Please, lead the way, First Secretary.
Jetripar: Of course. Please, follow me. ::turning to MacKenzie and bowing:: Captain, it was a pleasure making your and your crew's acquaintance. I remain at your service, though we are parting for the moment.
MacKenzie: I have no doubt we'll see one another soon.
Vitor bowed slightly and grinned.
Silveira: The pleasure was ours.
Breys: Response
With Jetripar and Tamio moving away, and now under watch from one of the Da’al security forces, Zie turned to them.
MacKenzie: ::softly:: Not exactly forthcoming, is he?
Vitor shrugged and held up the data rod Jetripar gave him.
Silveira: Politicians… That’s to be expected. At least he cooperated. But honestly to me it looks too good to be true that they know this was the work of Chief Engineer Havun.
And again… Why?
Breys: Response
Zie paused for a moment, Vitor assumed she was reading something in her scans so he stepped closer.
MacKenzie: Do you think he had anything to do with it, or do you believe his story that it was definitely the Chief Engineer?
Silveira: It’s too early to believe in anything. The accounts we have could easily be tampered to frame the Chief Engineer. There’s certainly a conflict here, but that isn’t uncommon in Da’al culture. I just don’t want to rule out any scenario.
Breys: Response
Zie nodded.
MacKenzie: Let's see if we can uncover any evidence or any data that might be helpful. ::gesturing toward a console::
Vitor nodded and gestured for Breys to step closer.
Silveira: Also we should run the data that Jetripar gave us. I want to see if there isn’t… Any foreign pattern…
MacKenzie/Breys: Response
He grinned and explained his thoughts.
Silveira: I am not sure if any of you considered the possibility of outside influence? The Da’al don’t have many friendly neighbors and they were never on good terms with the Klingons.
And there’s always the Suliban…
What I mean is how fully original is the work on their prototype, and if their data doesn’t match any of the known antagonists… Or is it the protagonists… ?
Any of the other key players around. Because another thing is bothering me… Where did they go?
MacKenzie/Breys: Response
Vitor nodded and opened his arms. He knew there were too many questions at once, but that is how an investigation worked. And for now they needed to start getting answers.
And data.
He winked at Zie and offered the data rod to Breys.
Silveira: Care to do some of that Science magic you Blues are so well spoken for?
