"Brad why is she so banged up?" TJ asked the Marines medical officer asked looking at the companies sergeant. Knowing that he did have an issue with over force.

"She put up a fight.. .hell she took T down." Brad said nodding over to a muscular male Human getting a small cut over his eye looked at by one of the corpsmen.

TJ just shook her head, "she couldn't have put up that much of a fight warranting these kind of bruises."

"Enough, I need her awake TJ." Ellis said walking in, "gunny you and your team go and write up the report." Brad just nodded as he and the fire team headed out, "trust me TJ the force they used was necessary you'll understand if you read her jacket. That cut that T sustained is child's play compared to what she's capable of."

TJ just shrugged as she started doing a quick body scan, "well apart from the bruises she's in perfect health capable of questioning once she wakes up."

Ellis nodded as he sent a quick message to the captain, "keep those restraints on her we'll question her in here when she wakes." TJ just nodded.

The doors to the infirmary slid open with a hiss and in walked Commanders Neyes and Ivanova. The Trill CO's expression was cold and hard as he looked across the room to the biobed holding his objective. He's been waiting a little longer than he'd have liked to have a chance to speak with the two officers responsible for complicating his life, and now that he had the chance it was during the small hours of the morning. Ellis has unceremoniously called for both Ivanova and himself at 0300 hours.

Tired and irritated, the notorious little redhead strode in an impeccable fashion through the corridors at Landon's side, her eyebrow lifting precariously high over one cold blue eye as she observed the so called prisoner.

With a cup of coffee in his hand, and a nearly perfectly pressed uniform despite his rush, Landon approached the two marines without a second's hesitation. He was on the hunt, and his hunters had finally brought him spoils. "This is Lieutenant Black?"

"It's the one and only lieutenant Black." Ellis said smirking as his techs were working on her equipment they found with her, "also when do we've access to the diplomatic suites?"

"Wake her. Now." Landon ordered the marine doctor. Why this woman had been brought to the marine barracks instead of the brig's infirmary was a question he couldn't answer without bringing in Marine ineptitude into the mix. The military acted as if their dept operated separately from the rest of the ship entirely. Neyes was too preoccupied to crank on that particular fact at the moment, though.

TJ looked at Ellis for confirmation. "Do it." Ellis said.

"It's gonna take a couple of minuets and she's going to be groggy." TJ said.

Neyes ignored the sidelong glance between the two marines. "You can do better than that, Doc. Use something stronger if you need to."

"That one..." Rochelle finally spoke up, coming around from Landon's side to peer over the sleeping form of the marine, "Is a known problem. She used to be my problem." She all but sighed with a shake of her head, not bothering to look up at the men. "But she's far from a dangerous problem. At least, she shouldn't be associated with the greater mess at hand and if she is..." Those cold baby blues finally looked from from the sleeping woman, "I'll wring her neck myself."

Sighing TJ did as the acting commanding officer asker her of. "Done." TJ said as she kept an eye on the women's vitals, "she should be waking up now."

And just on cue Tea started to stir at first slow mainly fingers slightly moving and her eyes fluttering. Than finally her eyes opened up as it took awhile of, what's going on and where am I panic started to come in, "what the hell." Tea yelled slightly raising her head off of the biobed.

Neyes stood at the woman's feet, one hand grasping either end of her bed. Her outburst didn't make him move an inch, and his stare bore right into her widened eyes. "You said it, Lieutenant." She looked scrappy, to say the least. There seemed to be an abundance of scrappy young women turning up on this ship lately. Ivanova, his doctor, and now this marine laying on a biobed on the ship he'd been tasked with protecting.

"I suppose I don't need to trick you into thinking we don't know who you are." Neyes feigned a little smirk.

Rochelle couldn't help but snicker ever so softly at the CO's fantastic little quip. Her own arms folded over her chest... Aside from her fingers coming out to wiggle in a cheeky little hello. Perhaps the Griffin's former Security-- oh Christ on a cracker, or was it Intel? -- minion would remember the russet firecracker that stood now at her side, unwavering and far from amused.

"No......I know exactly who you're along with Marine captain King, second lieutenant Johansen.....and of course my former XO commander Ivanova. Now how about you answer me this riddle why the hell am I strapped down.....or are we all gonna have a good time?" She said winking at Ellis.

Neyes didn't respond to her ploy at humor, his face returned to reflect the serious nature for which she was being held. "That depends on you, Lieutenant. What are you doing on this ship."

"Well I was protecting the president until all shit broke lose......which I'm supposed to thank you for that?" Tea looked at Ivanova.

Ivanova snorted. A strangely delicate little noise as she continued holding her stone-like posture. "Surprise."

"I had security overlook your belongings actually. They appear to have belonged to someone else, a young woman who was supposed to be on this assignment. Protecting the President, I believe? She is not a Lieutenant Tea Black, however. So O'll ask you again. Why are you on this ship?" Neyes' tone was patient, almost too calm. His index finger gingerly tapping at the end of her bio-bed.

"You really think your desk jockey security officers can just type in a few key words and get a bio on the presidential security detail?" Tea said snickering, "man.....you guys aren't as bright as your jackets led me to believe in." Her intel/SERE training kicking in.

"Unless you have friends in low places, Lieutenant, which I think you forget that I do." Rochelle broke her posture to circle around to the other side of the Captain, almost bored with the little encounter they were having. "But... Enlighten us. Save me from having to spend part of my paycheck on shipping trade goods for information. Chocolate is a rarity in some parts and I'm beginning to feel like a smuggler." Her wry little smile lit her eyes, betraying the tight fullness of her lips as they pursed and her motion stopped just a few degrees away from Neyes.

"Captain and commander threats with her are particularly useless. Especially with the training she has received." Ellis said with a smirk, "isn't that right lieutenant." He said, "I'm impressed that a female made it through SERE training along with whatever other training you've had, but here's the thing you don't have all the facts which means you everything you say is fishing for information which again means we'll always have the upper hand."

Neyes had to resist the urge to press a phaser from the bottom of her throat into her nasal cavity. Marines. Everywhere there were marines.

She didn't seem like the saboteur type to Neyes. This lieutenant black was a gifted officer, but if she were there to cripple or destroy them she could have probably done it a few times over by now. No, despite King's suggestion, Landon wasn't getting the deceptive vibe from her. She was hiding something, and they would certainly need to find out what it was

Landon ran a few thoughts through his mind before pulling his grip off the edges of her bed, visibly pulling himself away from the temptation to strangle the woman. On the outside he appeared to be lost in intense thought, but on the inside he felt like he was going insane. This all felt wrong to him. Somewhere on a level he couldn't quite pin down this was all adding up somewhere he knew he wasn't going to like. If there was one thing Landon did not like doing, it was waiting for the next shoe to drop.

"Doc, please see that our guest is transferred to Doctor Rofer for examination. She can provide us with an extremely thorough workup... then lock her up, Captain." Neyes said hardly. "In the isolation brig. I don't need her talking to anyone for any reason without myself or Ms. Ivanova present."

A hail came from the Comm line. "Commander Neyes, you have a priority one hail from Starfleet."

Lt. Black's eyes darkened, and her brow turned to worry for just a moment. It was slight, and extremely brief, but Landon caught the shift.

He gave the officer one last look of disappointed disgust. "Commander Ivanova and I will take it in my office, Ensign."

With that the two Commanders left sickbay, more question now than they had had before. Hopefully Starfleet would have some of the answers.
