"Here we are. Please take a seat and make yourself comfortable. The Chief
of Staff will be with you shortly. If you need anything, a drink perhaps,
please let the aide here know." she said refering to the administrative aide
at a work station in the lobby area to the main office to the Bajroan
Ambassador.
Dais nodded in agreement as he took a seat in the room.
A few short minutes later the doors opened up to the Ambassador's office,
and the aide said, "Commander, the Ambassador is ready for you now. The
Chief of Staff is with the Ambassador..."
"Think you, Ms. Loris," he replied as he followed her.
Once inside..
"Commander Dias, Welcome to the Embassy. I am Ambassador Palen Tolok, and
this is my Chief of Staff Rivik Carlo. What can we do for you today?"
"I would like to take a moment to thank you both for meeting me at such
short notice. I am primarily here in relation to an incident that just
occured recently with one of your staff members who just came through
customs."
"Yes, we are aware that there was a courier detained. We had called Lt.
Thompson to help with the situation." The Chief of Staff acknowledged.
"Apparantly, his paperwork was questionanble and a search was started after
he admited verbally to having a personal weapon that is not allowed to be
brought through customs. He volunteered to turn over the weapon to my
custody under the condition that he could have it back on his departure from
the station. The search was stopped, but not before something was found
that was of concern. While I know that we are not allowed to press charges
since the search was illegal, I had hoped to have you assistance in dealing
with the matter, which I think you will agree is of great concern."
"We will be happy to help, Commander. What is this matter that you wish to
discuss."
"He had a detached human hand in his custody."
The Ambassador looked at his chief of staff. Then faced Dais for a reply.
"Really... You have the scans of this hand Commander?" the Ambassador
replies, as if he is not sure to believe him or not.
Dais shook his head. "I must admit that I do not. I did not deem it
appropriate to have one since the scan was made outside the rule of immunity
that is in place."
