[sb118-valkyrie] Ensign Arthur Strathmore - Was Someone Watching Us?
Arthur Strathmore
((Security Complex, Deck 9, USS Valkyrie))
Strathmore: Presumably, he joined up with them on New France. How or why, I do not know.
Lennai: May have something to do with us getting him fired and ruining his life. ::Muttering.::
The Trican’s ears twitched; that explained much about why he attacked.
Is’Kah: Can you explain what happened today?
Strathmore: Where do we begin?
Lennai: Ah, yes, from the top -- we were going on a canoeing adventure. It was framed as a tourist spot, and it started out normally enough.
She glanced at Arthur to continue.
Is’Kah gave Strathmore a look.
oO I better get talking. Oo
Strathmore: Once we got to the island, he revealed his identity and our life jackets turned out to be these strange devices that restrained us.
Lennai: Then he revealed the entire island was jammed of communications. He was ominous before, but nothing truthfully telling -- not to mention him changing his entire face to appear as someone else entirely.
Is’Kah: Please explain more about this.
Strathmore: It seems like he had access to a doctor to alter his appearance. He was a Mazarite when we met him back at Denali, but now… I don’t know what he is. He looks uncanny.
Pursing zhen lips, Is’Kah thought for a moment before pulling out a small device and placing it in the middle of zhen desk.
Is’Kah: Please press your forefinger to this device. It will perform a test to confirm that you are not changelings or other shapeshifters.
oO Huh? Oo
Arthur hesitated for a moment before placing his finger on the device.
Strathmore: Alright. How very Dominion War of you.
Lennai: Response
Putting the device away, Is’Kah nodded. The results were as expected.
Is’Kah: Thank you. It’s been standard protocol in this office to test everyone since Frontier Day.
Frontier Day, Arthur was lucky to have just narrowly avoided it during a transfer.
The hybrid sent a message to S’Porc to conduct a changeling text on their visitor in the brig.
Strathmore: That makes sense.
Lennai: Response
Is’Kah: Please, continue your story. What happened after he told you about the jamming device? Did the two of you recover it?
Strathmore: There was a bit of a scuffle. We were freed thanks to Vaysha.
Lennai: Response
Strathmore: The security team technically recovered it. Vaysha just disabled it.
He gave a soft smile at Vaysha. He was proud of his friend.
Is’Kah/Lennai: Response
Strathmore: You’re guess is as good as mine.
Is’Kah/Lennai: Response
Strathmore: If he joined the cult, it's too much of a coincidence. Someone had to have been watching us at Fusion that day on Denali Station.
Is’Kah/Lennai: Response
