"Do you know what kind of trouble you are in here, Commander?", started Rivik. "You
have no idea what kind of a diplomatic incident you have caused. When the dust
settles you may find that your career is not worth spit. How dare you arrest me? Do
you have no concept of diplomatic immunity?" Rivik
was getting rather indignant.
"You can speak to whomever you wish, Mr. Rivik.? You are not being arrested...."?
K'Tael paused, and the "yet" was clearly implied if not spoken.? "You are being taken
in because of health and safety concerns.? It is for your good as well as that of
Spacedock's? and the shipping lanes."
K'Tael really wanted to tell him how he felt.? He was sick of dealing with this freak.
Rivik said nothing, but everything about him spoke volumes.? He was fuming angry, and
there was nothing he could do but plot.
K'Tael contact the ship that had brought him over.? "Captain, if you could, I would
like you to transport everyone on this ship to your brig including myself.? We will
have to be put in medical isolation.? We found what may turn out to be a major health
risk on board."
?? "Will do, Commander.? The transporter room will be standing by for your signal to
begin transport.? You can expect to materialize in sickbay's isoward.", replied the
Captain.
"Could you also tow the ship toward Spacedock.? The staff there is going to have to
take over this situation to make sure that no one is endangered."
?? "That can be arranged, Commander.? Anything else?"
"That will be all, Captain. Thank you once again."
"Garibaldi to K'Tael.? I have arranged for the crew of my ship to be transported off
for the journey back to Spacedock, and for the ship to be towed.? We are all set over
here."
"We are doing the same over here. I should be able to meet you aboard the station
within a few minutes."
The trip back to Spacedock took loonger than expected, because the frigates could nto
travel at top speed when towing another craft. However, they made it back in short
order, and upon arrival the medical checks began. Commander K'Tael, LCMR. Garibaldi,
and away teams were checked out first. The others came in due course after wards, and
sickbay took their time. At Gariabldi's request, of course. This gave the two
officers a chance to chat about what was to happen next.
Inside the peace of K'Tael's office in security central the two talked about the
operation.
"SO, Commander, what do you think of our little operation? Seems like we did
rather well. At elast we brought lots of folks in...." Garibaldi started.
