Shore Leave: The Security Office

You receive confirmation and again you get told to get away from there and let on site security handle this, although they do thank you for your help so far.

As she goes back to town, Alira encounters a group of armed security guards moving toward where she came from. Just as she reaches the town, an announcement sounds out through the speakers:
"Attention all guests of Caspera-13. There has been a security breach in the cottage village. If you are currently in the village, go into your cottage. If you are currently in town, go into the nearest building. This is just a safety precaution and there is no danger to anyone. Please stay inside and wait for further instructions."

A couple of security guards are walking around, pointing wandering guests into bars and cafes and answering questions. They are doing a good job of keeping everyone calm. An officer comes up to Alira and points towards the closest building, the bar that she was talking to Nic in yesterday. "Ma'am, please move inside for the moment. We are dealing with a minor unexpected situation at the moment. There is nothing to worry about."

Day 2, ~1600 hours

Cass enters the security office. It's only a short walk from the bar so she arrives almost immediately after the announcement.
A woman in security uniform greets her at the door and leads her into a small conference room in the back of the building. There is one other person there already when Cass arrives, an older man in civilian clothes. He greets Cass but doesn't seem very interested in talking to her. Over the course of the next few minutes, more people arrive and are being led into the room by the same woman as Cass. Two people catch her eye during this. The first is a woman that arrives a few minutes after Cass. When she first enters, Cass immediately refisters her as Darcy before realizing that Darcy wouldn't have any business being here, but discolored chemical burn scars on her cheek and neck as well as the fact that she seems to be a few years older than Darcy correct that first impression. Still, she looks very similar to Cass' acting first officer.
The second person to catch her eye arrives a good bit later. He's very tall, well over 2 meters and extremely thin. Over his clothes, he is wearing a thin metal support structure that attaches to his back, arms shoulders and legs and even supports his head. He is walking on a cane and sits down on a chair as soon as he enters.

She looks at you from head to toe, then shakes your hand.
"Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you. Between the glowing praise from my father and the not so kind stories from my sister, I'm curious to see what you're really like." Her smile is warm and friendly. "Is Shawna alright with you? We're on shore leave after all. You can call me Helena"

"I can try Cass but if it gets too confusing, we'll have to think of something else. Do you have any idea what this is about? I saw some security officers in the village before the lockdown started."

Before Helena can respond, a bald, middle aged man in security uniform steps through the door. He does a quick count of everyone present and then walks to the front of the room.
"Good day, commanders, captain. My name is Lt. Matthew Norton. I apologize for interrupting your shore leave but at the moment we are dealing with an unprecedented situation. Last night, a woman, Endra Learse, has drugged a pair of cadets and convinced them to attempt to steal a hover transport. The attempt was unsuccessful and the cadets were apprehended last night but when we tried to capture Learse, she escaped and fired a phaser at a witness. We still do not know how she managed to smuggle a phaser onto the planet or what her plan is but we are investigating.
So far, Learse has been able to evade arrest and appears to be hiding somewhere in the vast forests on the island. We have dispatched additional security personnel and have moved our officers to protect the village and all sites that house off-duty officers and civilians. Until this situation can be resolved, we need to prioritize our guests' safety, even over their comfort. For that reason, we have decided to distribute phasers to every command level officer. We still ask you to stay safe and try to enjoy your stay here. There is no need for you to get involved in this investigation. With our increased security presence, there is no danger as long as everyone stays in the protected areas. This is just meant to be a safety precaution. The resort apologizes for this inconvenience."

"There are designated hiking trails that will still be available but we will have to close some areas that we just don't have the manpower for. We can't allow hiking outside of those designated trails at the moment, however. I'm sorry."

"Yes, I apologize, I forgot to mention it. All of you will also be equipped with spacefleet communicators. If you notice anything suspicious, inform security. For anyone who is not present right now, they can reach security by the usual means or through you. You will also notice an increased security presence in the village so there will always be someone available to talk to."

Helena smiles. "Party games with live phasers? Sounds like fun until Cass...andra notices. She would probably call security on us and that would not be the most fun end of the party."

Some others present ask questions that get answered by Norton as well but Cass doesn't learn much more interesting information. After a few minutes, Norton ends the assembly and hands out a commbadge and phaser pistol to everyone present. Cass notices that the phaser has been modified so it can't be switched to kill.

As they leave the security office, Helena says to Cass: "I will see you later then. Make sure you're there"

Day 3 - 1100 hours

Zephyr, Moira, Alira

Not much more happens during the night. Let me know if you stay awake to supervise the search efforts or go to sleep or what else you do during the night. The situation at the end of the night is:
The terrorists have not been found despite extensive sensor sweeps of the forests and search parties looking for them all night. The planet guests have been confined to their quarters for the time being. While they are not happy about it, there have been no further incidents during the night.
The call for backup has been answered by the USS Orion who report that they were close by and will come to Caspera-13 immediately. They also report that they are currently carrying spacefleet admiral Samuel Tanner, who has agreed to take over the investigation personally. After Mars had informed him about Moira's decision to lead the investigation at least until his arrival, Tanner requested a meeting with her and her crew in the security office as soon as his ship arrives.

It is now late morning and you are gathering in a medium sized conference room in the security office. You can arrive in whichever order. Cassandra and Helena are already there with Lt. Mars and two more security officers when you arrive. Admiral Tanner is expected to arrive shortly. Cassandra is wearing her regular spacefleet uniform when you arrive, gold with the markings of a Lieutenant Commander on her collar, Helena is also wearing uniform but hers is red and the style is from a starbase, not a ship. She has the three dots of a commander on her uniform collar. Mars and his people are wearing the same resort security uniform you've seen the previous days.
