<USS Avalon> Beginning the Questions

Beginning the Questions
by. Lt Junior Caine Reilly McKinsely

Caine hadn?t known what to expect when she entered the bridge.  She knew about 
the argument between Javan and Commander Skyler but she wasn?t sure how the 
captain was going to react.

It was quite obvious to see that Captain Ketchum was irritated and very ticked 
off at the two commanders.  In the process of him reprimanding Javan, Commander 
Skyler returned to the bridge.  Caine was about to suggest the four of 
themselves move to the privacy of the conference room, when the captain ordered 
both of the commanders back to their rooms under house arrest.  As both the 
commanders left the bridge, Caine followed Captain Ketchum into the XO Office.  
She wished desperately to let Javan know everything was okay, but she knew that 
right now she needed to be neutral and not show favoritism.

The captain was stressed, she could see that easily and she wished to do 
something to help him out, but unfortunately, they did not have a close enough 
relationship as captain and counselor.  The only way she could alleviate his 
stress was to take control of the investigation into the happenings on the 
bridge, as he asked, and to find the truth of it all.  Before she could fully 
do this, she needed to know, right off the bat, whether or not Commander Skyler 
had been given orders to move the ship or even knew of the orders that were 
coming.

It was going to be a long and stressful time, trying to find the truth.  Caine 
knew that she probably couldn?t spend much or any down time with Javan because 
she wanted to stay as unbiased as she possibly could, unfortunately, Caine was 
already suspecting Commander Skyler to have been the agitator, but she could be 
wrong.  

Sighing she headed back to her office.  She wanted to pick up another PADD, 
incase she had need of it and to let Javan know that she was headed over to his 
quarters to question him.  She took a quick glance at herself in the mirror 
before heading out to Javan?s rooms, her hair was still curled and in a pile on 
the top of her head and she still had her make-up from when she had planned on 
making a romantic dinner for her Javan.  Sighing again, she wrote a message to 
Commander Skyler, letting her know that tomorrow morning; she would be stopping 
by to question her about the event on the bridge.  Caine hated to be doing this 
but she had to.  

The walk to Javan?s quarters seemed to take forever, but finally she was there. 
 Taking a deep breath and trying to remember that she was a professional, she 
rang the chime at Javan?s door and awaited his response.
