S’Lone walked through the hatch leading to the Deck’s Security Office at precisely Alpha Shift end.  He looked around, identified Lt Thompson, walked over, and introduced himself, “S’Lone tr’Khellian.”

Sonja had been expecting the Officer, but to see them come in directly as the other shift changed showed a rare punctuality in junior officers. And she should know. “Ah thank you for coming. Would you mind giving me your report once more?” She said as she grabbed her PADD.

“Sure” S’Lone replied. I feel a bit embarrassed about taking your time.  I could have been some youth for all we know.  I was not trying to be alarmist. But just in case let me give the details for an official report.” S’Lone went over the salient details once again covering his encounter with the graffiti during his early morning run.

Sonja listened closely to the information adding all the pertinent details to her report. She hadn’t really heard of such actions occurring in the past, but as the station became more established rare events were going to occur. “Alright I think I have the majority of the information needed; however, I have to ask do you think this could have been solely regarded towards you? Such actions usually have a motive. Do you know anyone on the station who may have done this because of how they feel about you?”

S’Lone pondered Sonja’s questions for a moment. “No, I really don’t feel it was directed towards me personally. Plus I haven’t been on the Starbase for more than a couple of months. So my sparkling personality has not had the opportunity to raise anyone’s hackles.” S’Lone smiled playfully.

“I will be mindful though in the future of any sideways glances or threatening behavior,” S’Lone said as he absentmindedly brushed a bit of dust off his duty uniform. “It’s a relief to hear this is not a pattern. I tried accessing the monitors nearby but could not access the footage. Not high enough clearance for now I guess.”

Sonja shook her head “I do not recommend trying to open those monitors. We got an alert regarding that and I cleared it as I saw your name, but I have to address it. Regardless of rank if the clearance is not allowed don’t try and access the monitors.” She said before pausing for a moment “That being said I do believe for right now we have done all we can. If you have anything you want to discuss I am willing to do that.”

S’Lone nodded his head, “Understood. I am good. Let me know if I can be of assistance in any way. If that’s all, I’m gonna head to my next posting.  Best wishes and stay safe.”

As he left the Office S’Lone thought, “We have some dedicated and sharp folks at the station.  Starbase Bravo is in good hands.”
