Mission: Prelude: Blowing away the Cobwebs
-Start-
Ensign Binjole Nartu was sitting in his newly furnished office aboard the USS Orion. He was sitting at his desk when he remembered that he should meet his newest Security officer. He tapped his comm badge:
=^=Ensign Getal, please report to my office.=^=
"On my way." Tharek replied in a deep, dark and unsettling tone. Tharek was never found to be talkative, or even lively.
-----CS/TO's Office-----
Not minutes later did Tharek arive. "You wanted to see me, Sir?"
Nartu looked up from his PADD: "Ah, yes, welcome Ensign. Please, sit down".
Tharek Disobidiently stood there and gave th other Cardassian a look that was new to both men. A look that felt lik a phaser to the chest. He then spok in his new found tone. "I prefere to stand."
"Alright, Ensign. Standing is fine with me. Ensign, I called you here because A. I want to know my Security Investigations Officer. B. To brief you on how I'll be running things around here and C. to address any concerns or problems you may have."
Tharek stood erect and waited for Binjole to continue talking.
"Well, first off, I'd like to brief you on my standard procedures. I like to have my security officers on varied schedules and sleep, duty, and relaxation periods. For you, my Security Investigations Officer, I have written up a schedule for you."
Nartu opened up a compartment in his desk and produced a PADD.
"Here-" the Chief of Security offered Tharek "Your schedule. Please take a moment to review it and tell me what you think".
"I think it has me doing too much for my role." Tharek said abruptly before handing the PaDD back. "I'm your security investigations officer. Not your personal Bajoran slave." Tharek then tried to stand even taller to intimidate the man. "I will investigate and interrogate. And I always get the truth. Other than that there isn't much use for me, is there?"
Nartu did not expect this, and was shocked at his subordinate's response. He yelled at the young Cardassian, much to his own shock:
"Sit down, Mr. Getal! A Bajoran slave? How dare you insult me like that! I'm your superior officer, and you WILL follow my orders. Is that clear?!"
Nartu did feel better after yelling at the defiant Ensign.
Tharek had gone through enough. "Don't yell down at me you insulent little brat! I'm a Cardassian veteran, and I dont have to do anything a snivelling little Cardassian mutt vole like yourself has to say!" Tharek retaliated. He was always one step ahead... But that step usually took him off the edge of a metaphorical cliff.
Nartu couldn't believe this deliberate act of insubordination by his own kind.
"Ensign Tharek, on the grounds of insubordination, I am suspending you from active duty pending further investigation. Hand your comm badge and phaser to me or I will be forced take them from you."
Nartu defensively drew his phaser and set it on the minimum setting.
He held it by his side, pointed down.
"This is only a precautionary measure, nothing more. Now please comply."
Nartu stuck out his other hand and motioned for the Ensign to comply.
"you aren't Cardassian! ta’cardăst skrăgh!" Tharek roared at him. "If we were in Cardassian space, you'd already be dead!"
Nartu hoped it wouldn't come to this. He raised his phaser and fired twice in quick succession, hitting the Ensign in the chest.
The Security investigations officer fell back, stunned. Nartu raced towards the crewman and caught him before he hit the ground.
He put the Ensign in a seat, took the Ensign's phaser from its holster and tapped his comm badge:
=^=Nartu to transporter room. Please lock on to Ensign Getal's biosigns and transport him to the brig and raise the force field. I'll explain it to the Captain, do not worry."
