[ON]

Jeremy entered the security offices and nodded to Davis.

Jeremy walked over to cell four and stood in front of it, legs spread and set, arms folded across his chest. He had Sidi sit while he glared at the Andorian.

"You think you're funny?" Jeremy said, glaring at him.

The prisoner had, had cooled off a bit and so his expression was a bit warmer than it would have been towards Stone an hour or so before. As he rolled to his feet facing the Security Chief through the force field barrier. He managed a small smile.


"If you're referring to the PAdD I gave you, I thought I was being rather clever to be honest with you. I'm gay, but that is just part of who I am, its not the dominating factor, it doesn't define me. I find those images... well let's just say they're not a turn on for me, but they are effective. What spy is going to do more than glance at them and toss the PAaD aside?

If you're referring to our conversation before you placed me under arrest then my answer is the same. Look sir, I simply came here looking to try to help. Things got a little bit heated, I took offense when you questioned my honor and integrity, because both of those are what define me.

I realize though that you were just trying to do your job. You don't know who I am, you've never met me before. So I can understand you might be a bit suspicious so I apologize for any threats I may have made. Please tell me you've had a chance to check out my story and you're here to release me.

If so I'd like to see if we can get off on the right foot, we seem to have gotten off on the wrong one."

Jeremy scowled. "Pictures? I've no idea what you're talking about. I'm referring to the 'classified' information you thought you had, or thought you could pass to me. That PADD remains in evidence while I continue to investigate what you're doing on this ship. Fortunately for what you're saying, that PADD is now locked in a certain state. You might want to remember that some people have depended on PADDS for longer than you've been shaving. We know a few tricks."

He hit the security field control. "However, at this time, your 'classified' information that you wanted to give me is woefully out of date. Those systems were completely replaced after some scandal at one of the design firms, those plans are worthless. Be aware, however, Petty Officer, that I'm not convinced you're not a danger to this ship. You might want to stop trying to access systems you have no reason accessing. Engineering, Security...any thing else. Further, I've placed a tracker on you."

He stepped to the side, allowing Graysan room to come out of the cell. "Davis will process you out. Stay away from the security offices unless you have offiical business. Try to access any of the security systems and you will not like the response."

Keval slowly counted to 10 under his breath and walked out of the cell. He'd meet with his department head and have him go to the XO, he wasn't going to deal with Stone again. He was just happy that he wasn't in the man's department, otherwise they would have wound up hurting each other...bad.

"Yes sir," he said. "You can rest assured I won't set foot in here again unless someone of proper authority invites me."

"Or you have an actual security need," Jeremy said, stressing that. "My department does their job regardless of personal feelings. Make sure you understand, as well, I'm not done investigating your activity. If you're anything other than some clueless petty officer severely lacking in common sense, I'll find out about it. If I find you're a danger to this ship, I'll take care of the problem before it has a chance to harm the crew. Understood?"

There were so many things he could have said, so many things he wanted to say, but the close proximity to the brig combined with his training overcame his natural tendencies. "Understood, sir."

Then with an effort he extended his hand.

Jeremy nodded to Davis before he turned on his heel and took Sidi with him into his office. He had other things he needed to do, but wanted to be available in case the Andorian decided to stop being so cooperative as Davis processed him out of their system.

Slowly the Operations Officer let his hands fall to his side. Totally frustrated, then went with Davis to be processed.
