For all intents and purposes, it was a cell, yes it had three rooms, a comfy bed, replicator, sonic shower, large sofas and a desk for doing paperwork, not that he had much anymore, but the door was sealed from the outside and he was not allowed to leave without permission.

Slowly the Vulcan stood from behind the desk, he had been given access to historical weapons records, something he had requested when he found his meditation was proving to be too much of a chore, the screen now showed schematics for a new weapons system, something he had been working on for almost a year, since he was returned to the Federation by the Vanguard.

Moving over to the replicator he ordered the same drink he always did before moving to the sofa and reclining, taking a sip before placing it down on the table, he sighed as he picked up a holopicture on the table, of his younger sister, himself and Akida on the Vindicator over three years ago.

The door chime broke him away from his memories, it was rare he had visitors nowadays and the Vulcan was beginning to wonder if Starfleet Intelligence were going to let him rot in here for decades.

"Enter," Vokar called out from the sofa, not bothering to stand as he placed the picture down and picked up the mug again.

The door opened and the Chief of Starfleet Intelligence, Vice Admiral Douglas, walked in and looked at Vokar as he tucked hands behind his back, "Mr Vokar." his expression was neutral, neither appearing happy or unhappy to see the Vulcan he put under house arrest.

"Admiral," Vokar replied as he put the mug down and stood up, coming to attention behind the table, "I have to admit, I was not expecting a visit from an Admiral," he added, maintaining his stance at attention.

"I was not expecting to be here today, but things change." the Admiral replied.

"Can I get you anything Admiral?" The Vulcan said as he moved towards the replicator again.

Admiral Douglas shook his head, "No. We have business to discuss." he paused, "You've been under house arrest for months now after your adventure with the Vanguard. Have you taken the time to review your actions?"

"My actions sir?" the Vulcan asked with a slight raised eyebrow as he moved back towards the sofa, "I was rescued from the wreck of the Vindicator by Tarasov, received medical treatment and then was returned to Federation space," he paused for a few moments before continuing, "I understand that the Vanguard are wanted men, but by accepting their aid, do I automatically become one of them?"

"No." Douglas answered succinctly, "But the Admiralty does not seem to be very happy with you. Perhaps there is more to it. Regardless, you no doubt wish to leave this place. I have the power to make that happen."

"The past few months have been rather... dull," Vokar replied as he ran his hand through his hair and sat back down on the sofa, "What did you have in mind Admiral? No doubt a ship command will be out of the question."

Douglas nodded, "For the moment at least that is the case. However I find I am in need of a liaison on one of our explorers. Someone to report back directly to Starfleet Intelligence important information and to assist the Captain where possible. While they may be exploring new territory there's always a chance of running into someone we already know exploring as well."

Thinking for a moment, Vokar raised his eyebrow again, "Are there any additional duties attached to this role? or will I find myself with a lot of free time while the ship is doing something I am not required for?"

"I'm sure we can find you something. The real question is do you want out of here?"

"Of course," Vokar replied quickly, "It will be nice to be able to contact my family,"

Douglas nodded and extended a padd to him, "Then here are your official reassignment orders. Have a quick look, give it your thumb print and we'll leave immediately."

Reading down the padd, Vokar took in the details of his assignment, lower down the page a familiar name flashed up and he took a sharp breath before composing himself, "You're assigning me... to the Vindicator?," he said, a slight smile tracing across his lips as he finished scrolling through the padd and placed his thumb over the imprint to confirm them.

The Admiral observed the question as rhetorical and even then he was certain that Vokar was uninterested in the reasons, "We'll be there within the day." He took the padd back and nodded to himself before tapping his commbadge, "Douglas to Viminal. Two to transport."

Vokar bought himself to his feet and stood at some semblance of attention as the transporters began to work, the smile still firmly planted on his face.
