Mission: Rude Awakening
Location: Deck 2 || Room 203
Timeline: MD 9 || 1120 hours

Roget arrived at room 203 on deck 2 quickly. As he neared, he saw Di Pasquale and two of her men standing on either side of the door. He approached and used his override code to open the doors. Stepping in, he instructed the trio of security officers to look for anything suspicious. While they did that, he quickly surveyed his surroundings. The room was in decent condition, other than the few articles of clothing strewn around the main living area. He stepped over a black lace bra as he crossed to the desktop computer terminal. He inserted an isolinear chip into the terminal and touched a control to run the program on the chip.

"Geisler to del Rosario," came a voice from the ship's comm system. "I need a security team to meet me in Transporter Room One."

Not the best time, Roget thought looking at the trio of security officers around him. "Yes sir," he replied, motioning to Lieutenant Di Pasquale and Crewman Marshall to head to the transporter room.

Acknowledging del Rosario, Camila checked her Type II phaser and headed for the transporter room, preparing herself mentally for combat with other Federation personnel.

As Mac walked down the corridor of deck 2, she passed the new assistant security chief, Lieutenant Di Pasquale, and one of the enlisted security officers. The duo was heading back towards the turbolift.

Continuing down the corridor, she rounded a bend and her quarters came into view. The doors were open. She rushed forward, forgetting about del Rosario, thinking instead about why her room was open. As she stepped into her quarters, she was forced to focus on the Black Hawk's security chief again.

"What are you doing in here," she roared. "You have no right!"

Roget spun around to face Kos. "I am investigating the sabotage of the ship's power system. The code that disabled the relays was written here. On your terminal. In your quarters."

"That's ridiculous!" Mackenzie shouted. "Why would I do that? Especially right before a battle."

"Motive is rather easy actually. You are with the Consortium. Your exploits with the power relays would prevent us from capturing the Commodore, who is also with the Consortium."

She shook her head. "You can't believe that! Whatever issues you and I have with one another, I can tell that you are an honest man. As I am an honest woman. I'm loyal to Starfleet. I have no desire to help the Consortium."

He grunted. "Talk is cheap Commander. I have enough evidence to take you into custody." He motioned for the other security officer to approach. "Warrant Officer Johanssen will escort you to Detention."

"You can't do this, Roget," she pleaded, using the security chief's first name. They weren't close, and were, in fact, rather antagonistic of one another. But she was willing to try anything.

"Go with Johanssen peacefully," Roget replied coldly. The security of the ship was his responsibility, and Kos' sabotage had been a breech of that security. He didn't react well to such things.

Mac, deciding that it was best to not get into a physical altercation with Roget and the blond Nordic woman, sighed. "I'll go. But I want to talk to Captain Geisler as soon as possible."

He looked at Johanssen, who put a hand on Kos' shoulder and started to guide her out of the room. Roget followed them, several paces behind.

"Computer, secure quarters. Require security authorization code: nine-seven-rho-three-three-one-zero-gamma-four."

With Geisler on the O'Donnell and Kos in custody, he was now in command of the Black Hawk. He needed to be on the bridge.
