With a quick turn, his expression changed. He walked over to her as he brought up the exterior or the place were the where Mangalia was injured. Damions face seemed cold as he slid the PaDD across the table to Lumina. He slammed his hands on the table. "What so important about this building?" He said with a stern voice and a hard stare. "This building seems to be heavily guarded, either your government or your own faction is behind it. Traps were set there and injured several of this crew. Start talking." He leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest.

Lumina slammed her hands on the table and growled, "I haven't a spraking clue. Why don't you ask someone in the pseudo government? They're the ones who claim to be in charge. Not me."

"The tell me what would be so important in there that they would be guarding. Help us out here. The more we know about what's going on between you two, the more we can help you resolve this problem." Damion replied.

"We're not protecting anything. They took over the government. They want to rule the planet. I don't know how you do things in the Federation, but we're just one planet," Lumina said. "They killed a lot of people in order to be in charge. We want them removed from power."

Ruka got to her feet and went to Damion's side. "Sir, I suggest we actually go down there and find out."

-^-Not a good idea,-^- Leo's voice said quietly into Damion's ear. -^-Get as much intel as you can before that. She knows something, she just doesn't want to share it.-^-

Lumina looked at Ruka. "At least then you'd see what was going on."

"You're so eager to get us out of this room and on your side, what exactly is it that your not telling us? I don't feel like going in there blind, since the information on this PaDD is vague and would most likely get me shot. Not to mention, Lumina. I run a risk at catching whatever virus the others caught." He said as he took a seat and leaned in slightly, slipping slowly into her mind to pick up stray surface thoughts that popped out as he spoke. "So why don't you tell me what exactly are you hiding from us? A part of me feels that your holding something back and one of the main things us in the Federation value with our friendships is trust. We trust our allies to not withhold any information, just as they expect us to not withhold information from them." Damion leaned back and cleared his throat. "So start talking." He said as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Please?"

Ruka looked to Damion as he confronted Lumina though she knew he had an advantage over her in his biology but pretty good at her job. Despite a lacking beginning since they had just joined the Calypso. She turned back to Lumina. "We may have to recommend to our superiors that with lack of information about the circumstances of your planet's current situation and by helping you we could make things worse; we would advise that we depart this world and move onto other things." She hoped that would trigger Lumina to see that by fully cooperating she can secure Starfleet's assistance.

Lumina looked from Damion to Ruka. "Why do you both insist that I'm hiding something? Do you treat everyone who asks for help as if they're keeping secrets?" She looked at Damion. "I want you to go to Michnar VII because that's the best way for you to see what's truly going on. Don't just take my word for it, see for yourself. What virus?"

Shifting her gaze to her superior Ruka eyed Damion. "Yes why are we insisting she is hiding something?"

She looked back at Lumina. "Everyone has secrets and Starfleet crews have had enough experience to know that there is always more then what is apparent during humanitarian missions." Ruka frowned. "The virus is the primary reason we came here; to help with it's cure. Well the Calypso crew did, us two just arrived."

"Well, you're welcome to investigate. Maybe you can find enough information to arrest the current government," Lumina said, her tone growing frustrated.

"Would you like to see what our investigation has lead to so far?" He said softly as he began to touch at his PaDD. Damion then put it down and slid it over as on the screen was the photos of the wounds and damage done to Leo taken by the Doctor. "That's what this investigation has lead to. One man severely injured and others on your planet dealing with this virus." His tone slightly raised as he slammed the table with his hands and then leaned in slightly. "You want to meet him? I can arrange it."
