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." The Ambassador was happy to hear that. Very happy in fact. It gave him all the wiggle room that he needed. However, this freedom to fanagle or the emotion that it brought was not evident on his face or in his tone. "That was a wise decision, Commnder." the Chief of Staff replied. "What role do you want us to play here Commander? What can we do to help bring this unfortunate and, I openly admit, disturbing situation to a proper close?", Abmassador Palen asked. "I was hoping that you would look into the situation, particularly since the had is most likely connected to a violent crime, and deal with the situation as justice would require."
