"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.
