{If you will not be needing me, I would like to return to Engineering
as soon as possible.} said Commander Shevab.
Torgath studied the Horta for a moment biting his tongue. He could
not
help but wonder if the Chief Engineer did not recall the request to
stay in Security until after Commander K'Tael returned. "If you could
stay here until after Commander K'Tael can speak with you, we would
greatly appreciate it."
{Very well, but if the Commander is not here soon, I must take my
leave.} said Shevab.
Geb, who had just finished his conversation with K'Ton, turned to
Torgath and Shevab. "It seems that you were right about your visitor
not being from your department, but he is a member of Starfleet. He
works in the port of San Francisco as a technician. His name is Adam
Leaver."
The tension surrounding the area could be cut with a knife and the
cause was probably a mystery to Geb, but Torgath was going to put his
foot down. "Commander, I am not sure you understand the situation.
You
will remain here until Commander K'Tael arrives so he can talk to
you.
Period." Torgath might be tiny and reflect the jolly mein of a
leprechaun, but his eyes were full of fire. He wanted to say
something
about the Horta staying in his seat, but that was not exactly
possible.
That was not the reaction that Geb had expected. He would have
thought
that they would have been excited, but he could tell that something
had
gone down while he was speaking with Personnel.
{I have told you what you have asked, and given you recorded evidence,
but I will wait only a short time.
If it is that important he talk with me, then he should be here shprtly
or he can find me in
Engineering.} replied the Commander Engineer.
Torgath studied the Horta for a moment. He could not believe that he
was hearing this. "Let's put it this way, Commander. You can stay
here voluntarily until you are released or we can arrange a short stay
for you in the Brig until he returns. Since he is in a meeting with
the Admiralty about issues related to this, I am sure that you can
understand why you are waiting for him to come here. As you can
imagine, they decided when he can be released from the meeting rather
than you."
