[Ready Room - Deck 1 - USS Chimera-C]
Rojac responded to Rangis request for a meeting within a
few minutes of her making it. She had barely had time to
lay her case on her new bed when the reply came...he was
free to see her now if she wished it.
She did and leaving her belongings where they were, headed
for his office immediately, certain that he would have the
answers to her questions. There was still no word from
Shane and she wondered what the meeting could possibly be
about that could keep him engaged for so long.
Rojac beckoned her in after she pressed the chime. She
stepped in from the bridge to see the captain perusing
over reports from the top of his large wooden desk. Rojac
looked up and made eye contact.
"Well, if it isn't my new Chief Medical Officer." He
smiled, vaguely, under the stress of last minute
preparations. "I suppose you have some questions,
Commander?"
"Yes I do." Rangi replied as she crossed the room towards
him. " I would 'very' much like to know why I'm here." she
added coming to halt in front of his desk. " I havent been
able to speak to Commodore Guzman yet so I'd like you to
tell me please....why am I off the Starbase and transferred
here?"
She spoke politely enough but couldnt quite hide the air of
frustration as she met his gaze.
"The memo detailing the purpose behind the decision is
classified, and
I'm only authorized to share it with you on a need-to-know
basis." He
looked up and saw the building frustration in Rangi's eyes.
"You know
how the SSF operates, bear with me. I'm only the messenger."
She nodded quickly but said nothing that might delay the
explanation.
She wasnt though expecting his next words.
"Commodore Guzman has had a threat made against his life,
and against
yours and your son's. Command believes it to be the best
decision to
place you here on the Chimera to act as Chief Medical
Officer in order
to get your distance from SB 234 and the Commodore. Your son
Martin
will also be placed in protective custody outside off of the
base."
Her lips parted as she stared at him.{So thats what the
meeting was about.} she thought.
"Martin is being moved too?" she asked. " Do you know where
he's going?...can you tell me?"
"That I'm not completely sure." Rojac replied. "It is my
understanding
that his destination is completely up to you and Shane, as
long as
it's not on an SSF starship or SB 234."
" I see." she said and without permission, sank down onto
the vacant chair opposite Rojacs
and let her gaze fall onto the littered desk top.
"How long do I have to stay?" she asked meeting his eyes
again.
"The order is only to stand until such a time that the
Commodre's life
is no longer directly threatened." Rojac replied.
"Right." She looked away again and tried to make sense of
it.
"Thankyou for telling me." she said after a few moments had
passed. " It answers a few questions."
She stood up. " I appreciate it Captain."
"No problem, Commander." He said, dragging a file back toward him from
across his desk's screen. "I will see you at the launch ceremony. You
are dissmissed."
