Act One, Scene Two

[Vertroue]

During the meeting thus far Dr. McCoy had been listening to both the spoken meeting and listening to the audio file from the intruder.

"No Captain, at this time no questions but I am going to point this out." Erica plays back part of the recording to the meeting.

'This is why I didn't bring a damn phaser! There was no reason for him to fire like that!"..."stupid.....stupid..."..."NO! Just keep buying me time."..."she's dying."..."Come on, fight!"..."don't give up on me!"... "FIGHT MADHEV! Don't GIVE UP ON ME!"..."NO! Not yet!"..."I am not leaving her to die!" ..."NO! NEVER!"..."uh?? No. Nothing"..."Sorry. keep me informed,"..."I can't let her die!"..."Susquehanna, you have to give me as much time as you can"..."Come on Madhev, fight!'

"The actions given in this recording give multiple meanings. First, the person she is talking to understands the need to save the Cadet. The operator on the other end, while rushed to give orders, is not forcing a transportation which could be done during that time. The need to save a living but fallen comrade shows history within the ranks. That kind of loyalty is not normal to just anyone but is to someone brought up in that culture."
Thinking for a moment Dr. McCoy continues.

"As Lieutenant Kinchlirah has already stated, the appearance of the Intruder matches that of Petty Officer Traver. Whose last assumed location was on Terra. If this was indeed the Petty Officer, which would be interesting as she was reported to be in a relapse mental breakdown after her ordeal on Velos VII would conflict with the almost calm person that was dealing with not only the injury but also that of implanting the security override to retrieve those files. Unless I am mistaken those files needing to be in a specific data search that would normally be easy to access if you have plenty of time. She did not have that luxury. From the sounds of it she was not only in a hurry, but was also dealing with several different fights between the time she entered the room till the time she was transported out."

"The Intruders voice also belied underlying emotional distress. We don’t know what happened to her when she was on Velos VII in the Camp as she never really wanted to talk about her time. But if history is the key, it isn’t a pretty. This can change someone completely, from meek to a fighter, but Lt. Kinchlirah saw her in action and from the sounds of it meek to fighter do not cut it. She was very well trained and Petty Officer Traver was never that good.

Pausing and taking a sip of water next to her,

“The files we have on Petty Officer Traver, again Lieutenant Kinchlirah has me on this, show an individual that can do work well under orders, but just that, she is willing to follow any orders given to her. This is not the actions of the person in that file. In fact it seems too much like two people. Which given the fact that the DNA almost matches that of Major MacConnell, could very well be true. The Majors’ file does not list any family, but is it possible for it to be a close relative such as a sister in that picture?”
