Mission: The Mentarin Effect
Location: IKS Gree'tok
Timeline: Current

Captain Drex, Commander Johnson, and Chesire materialized on the transporter pad of the Klingon ship. Drex was the first one to step off. Two Klingon women saluted their captain. Drex returned the salute and turned to Chesire and Johnson, "Commander, Chesire, this is Net'wa my security chief, and Ael, my chief engineer." Then to the two women present, "We will use my quarters to discuss the security arrangements for the negotiations." Then, once again to the two men he beamed over with, "You will follow me."

Commander Johnson simply nodded to Net'wa in response.

Detective Chesire seemed a little more confused on what was about to take place. "Captain Drex what exactly did you have in mind for my services?"

As they advanced through different corridors Drex explained, "Your people, Starfleet, and the Klingon Empire are going to negotiate an update to the treaty we already share. Because of the..." here the Klingon turned around and looked Chesire right in the eyes, "most unfortunate incident," now he turned and continued on his way, "we are having the negotiations on my ship. You, Commander Johnson from the Resolution, my chief of security are going to decide on the security arrangements." He stopped, turned to look right at Chesire again, "You are all right with that?"

Chesire looked up at the towering Klingon. "No problem at all Captain."

Commander Johnson simply smiled. "So where do you think we need to start Captain Drex?"

They were led to a cabin door that opened to reveal the captain's quarters. They went in and sat at a round table. Ael stood behind her father. with her arms crossed over her chest. "I believe it best if security teams consisted of three. One from each participant in the treaty talks," Drex explained.

"It makes sense," Net'wa replied, "That way we can all keep an eye on each other." Her eyes warily went from Chesire to Johnson and back. "I will also suggest we cordon off sensitive areas of the ship, the bridge, engine room, and the armory. I'll post double guards in those areas."

Drex simply nodded to his security chief.

"I can get behind this arrangement," Tony responded.

"Now this plan includes me bringing two of my own people along?" Chesire inquired.

Net'wa looked towards Chesire, "Yes. That presents no problem at all." She was surprised he didn't want to bring more of his own people but wasn't going to offer it either. She reserved that decision to her captain.

Captain Drex looked around the table. "Well, that was simple enough. If everyone is satisfied we can adjourn this meeting. Are there any other concerns?"

Chesire shook his head. "Not at all."

Tony looked at the two Klingons and then back at Chesire. "If we all can stay on the same page, then this plan should work out just fine."

"Very good," Drex smacked the table with his fist, "Tell your captain to inform me when you're all ready to beam aboard."

"Understood."
