Stardate: 2416.07
Captains Log: In order to flush out the Romulan conspiracies, I have made the difficult decision to agree to Commander tr'Saren's request to occupy Cromwell. His legions may occupy Cromwell, But I do not leave her defenseless. Leaving defense of her in charge of Commander MarQ, and captain Adams, I leave Jinx in command of the ship. This alliance is too new not to accept the challenge, but not to be prepared for Romulan Culture.
Banor has deployed methods to activate the self destruct if it comes to that. Ginger is guarding key areas of CRMB, hopefully the Romulans will stay away and not press that point. Jinx laid plans to make the Legionnaires disappear, and replace them with Holograms. All in all, not quite the 'taking custody' that tr'Saren wished. My own trust in Romulans is going to take more time.

Carson was taken into custody, and actually arrested and cuffed to return for interrogation on S'Task. It reinforced Carson's belief that a subterfuge remained possible. And that 'Guest ' status may not hold any weight despite t'Pals assurances that honor required it. To tr'Sarens credit though, he did not promise such a thing to Carson, which means guest status is not assumed to be safe. With sudden change of heart for any work towards rescuing t'Pal, Carson questioned if his decision to help was poorly made. Still his 'Captors' gave him fairly broad leniency. Top down Rihannsu command, by the book, and the S'Task crew seems somewhat scattered in what to do, and thus far have done nothing.
Carson and Banor have had conversations under the noses of their captors. Despite Security, which is keeping a polite distance, Carson is able to continue to check in on the non-predictable pattern. Jinx for his part is slipping information and supplies to Carson through various contacts. Sesgaard recognizes these small steps are the beginnings of cooperation. Will the Romulans waste the effort though?
Our Quiet Lt Emganwini has taken initiative by rescuing a slave! While this will likely create a diplomatic incident, Lt Emganwini is exhibiting all the finest of DFA officers.
Back at Chetzia, Cadet Rory Shauoli overhears DFA Admiral Garrett talking about 'the five'. Fleet Commander Sheldon issues orders to have the fleet go to a higher alert status, Rory is about to set out on her Cadet Cruise before graduation.
