Security Processing

After dealing with the meeting with the Commanding Officer, James and Henry knew what they needed to do next. As crewmen who were new to the ship, they had to go to Security, get their clearances verified, set their personalized codes for the duration of their time on the ship, and get whatever briefings were required for their security clearances as well as the general security briefings. This also provided a great opportunity to meet more of the Senior Staff members that they would undoubtedly have the fortune or misfortune of interacting with.

Entering the turbolift, James gave the command, "Deck 7," he said.

He let out a slight growl at how long it was taking the turbolift to reach the proper deck.

"Honey, just let it be. We'll get there just fine," said Henry.

"I know that we will, it's just aggravating waiting patiently to do the things that I need to do," he replied under his breath.

Moments later the turbolift opened up onto deck seven.

Quietly, they began their walk to the Chief Security Officer's Office. They weren't sure whether they'd find Lieutenant Solari in the brig or in the Chief Tactical Officer/Chief Security Officer's Office, but since they were right next door to each other, it probably didn't make all that difference.

Mars was reading a padd while heaving her feet on her desk. "Gentlemen," she said when she noticed the two. "Can I help you with anything?" she said after she sat upright.

"Yes, ma'am, I believe you can," said James. "Can you please direct me to the Chief Security Officer?" he asked, assuming that this young woman must be the Assistant Chief.

Mars laughed out loud for his comment. "Cara," she said with a thic Roman accent . "That is me, I am the Security Chief." She continued to grin.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Cara," said James with a hint of a smile on his face. If everyone was this laid back on this ship, he could get used to this real quick. "You'll see that we were scheduled to be briefed on our security clearances as well as to get the general security briefing for this ship and it's security procedures and policies. You'll find us scheduled as James Stewart IV and Henry Mayhew-Stewart," he said.

"It's Mars, " She corrected James after his misinterpretation of her frequently used endearment as her name. "And I'll see what I can do." she turned to the terminal on the other side of her desk. "It might take a while, normally someone else takes care of the administration stuff. Let me see. Computer display security details for Steward, James." The requested file came up. "Chief Medical Officer. Lieutenant Junior Grade." She quickly skimmed over his file and raised an eyebrow at the number of siblings. Poor woman. "Ah, here it is. It seems you have security clearance 8 and data access level 3." She moved on to Henry. "Mayhew-Steward, Henry. Head Nurse. Ensign. Security clearance 5 and data access level 2" She walked to a cabinet and retrieved two padd, after searching for it for a while. "These should tell you all you need to know about all the things."

"Okay. Something seems wrong about those clearance levels, ma'am," said James. "On our previous ships, and maybe this was due to some family connections, I really don't know for sure, we have been kept at the same clearance levels due to our relationship as spouses and the knowledge that most spouses discuss work and don't like to keep secrets from each other. Can you tell us anything about what might have caused this kind of change?" he asked.

OFF: I was initially keeping Henry as just a civilian spouse of James, however, giving him a rank isn't such a bad idea...maybe his rank is simply an honorary rank given his length of time on Starfleet ships working with his husband...LOL.

"I'm sorry, but here your security clearance is determent on your position and rank, not who you are married to." Mars replied. "If you don't agree with that you shall have to take it up with the Captain."

"That's quite alright, this is just the first time that's ever happened to us," replied Henry. He preferred not to rock the boat, and the warning look that said 'if you keep this up I may have to kill you' that he shot at James was quite obvious about it.

"Alright, ma'am," said James. "Do you have briefing rooms that we can review these in, or are we meant to take these with us to our quarters and review them?" he asked.

"Just take them with you. I'm sure there are some others around here somewhere." Mars replied as she looked around her. "There just standard procedures and stuff"

"Understood," they replied in unison as they grabbed their respective PADDs and headed for the door.

After leaving the security office, James and Henry both headed for the turbolift to return to their quarters.

OFF: I think that should do it. What do you think?

Awesome. So what exactly do with it now? Does it stay here does it go up elsewhere in the board, what exactly is the protocol on this?
