Shore Leave: The Security Office

When Moira takes off to join the interrogation, Helena comments: "I was wondering if you were going to join her. You're a counselor now, after all. You should be great at getting people to talk!"

After closing the door to the interrogation room behind her, Cassandra says: "We got his name, Trevor Lennik. He has a file in the spacefleet database but it is locked behind a command level security clearance that I don't have access to. Sam, I mean Admiral Tanner should be able to access it. I sent the file to him but haven't heard back yet. I just started the interrogation five minutes before you came in. He's not very cooperative, the only thing I've managed to get out of him so far is a confession that he's working with Endra Learse, the woman who drugged and later kidnapped the cadets. No motive or other names so far."

"He's my mother's cousin. We're not particularly close but we meet from time to time at family events. That's why he asked Helena and me if you're trustworthy before he told you about this whole... conspiracy." She looks at the prisoner on the screen next to them. "Do you want to go in again together?"

Cassandra's look in response to Moira's smile lets her know that she is not happy with how much about her private life Moira is learning on this shore leave but she doesn't say anything to that.
"I was neutral cop so far. You know I can't let you actually rough him up but if you go in ahead of me, you might be able to scare him a bit before I stop you"

After keeping his face neutral and ignoring Moira when she first started speaking, he looks into her eyes when she makes this claim. He searches her eyes for a moment to see if she's lying but from his expression, it looks like he can't find anything that convinces him that she is.
"I would be surprised if they died from the drugs. They're nothing unusual. If they are dead, it must have other reasons. Are you sure they weren't shot? Maybe it was self defense." Although he is putting on a facade of not caring, Moira can see that his brain is working hard to process this information and to find an explanation for it.

"Interesting choice of words", he says. "Are you trying to imply anything?"
He doesn't seem caught off guard or disturbed by your metaphor but it definitely caught his attention.

"The Naplicans are not behind our actions", he says with an audible emphasis on the word 'our'. He subtly turns his eyes towards the security camera in the corner of the room to draw Moira's attention to it. "I wish I could tell you more but you never know who else is listening", he says in a quiet voice, almost whipering. Then he focuses back on Moira. "I don't know why those cadets died but I can assure you, everything that is happening on this planet is happening for a reason. For a reason that you would understand and accept if you knew it. Unfortunately, under the current conditions, I can't tell you."

Trevor hesitates. He definitely did not expect you to do this and now he's trying to determine whether you're bluffing and people are still listening or not.
He leans forward and whispers: "Security on this planet is in the hand of the Naplican Empire. They're planning to weaponize the terraforming technology used here. We are trying to figure out how exactly that would work and how to stop them."
He then leans back and says, much louder than before: "You can threaten me all you want, I'm not telling you anything!"

The door to the interrogation room opens and Darcy enters. "This is in complete violation of all protocol, Bruce. I will have to end this interrogation now." Her voice doesn't sound angry or even annoyed. She doesn't disagree with your methods but she won't break protocol herself by letting you continue.
Trevor just says: "I don't know what you're talking about, lady. I have nothing to tell you."

"Maybe Admiral Tanner doesn't know that they're here for the same reason as he is", Cassandra suggests. "We don't know who sent this man, and why."
Helena adds: "Or if he's even telling the truth. If he's really here to prevent Naplican espionage, why kidnap Cass and Alex?" She stumbles a bit over the name Cass when she says it. "I don't know who Sam reports to, if anyone, on this. I can talk to him and try to find out where he got his information. Whoever told him might have also told these other people. But why?"

"Spacefleet might have some spies on the Naplican side as well. It's against the treaty but I wouldn't be surprised if both sides are bending the rules slightly. Still, I would expect the Naplicans to hold on to their secrets better than that", Cassandra says.
Helena thinks for a moment and then asks: "How do you even weaponize terraforming technology? If they're just trying to render a planet's atmosphere unlivable, wouldn't it be cheaper, faster and easier to just bombard the planet? What's the point in stealing the technology from this planet?" To Moira's question, she says: "We should talk to him. I don't know if he can tell us where the information is from but it's worth a try. Should I talk to him alone or do you prefer we go together?"
