Vlimar, looking down at his PADD, studying the various ship's department staff, was on his way to the security office, with the hope of meeting Lieutenant Chloe Ebonheart, an important part of the Security aboard the ship. He didn't had the chance yet to meet with anyone in the security department and, since the arrival of Mikkal, he needed to brief someone there in order to ensure the personal security of the Captain.

Chloe was actually in her quarters rather than in Security. She was stripping out of the dress she had worn and actually danced in her tail flicking slightly as she smiled from the memory. it was a lovely dress, one her mother had insisted she'd take with her just in case. Of course Chloe hadn't seen a need for it though she was thankful that she had it since it turned out she had needed it.

With the dress off she ran her fingers through her long white blond hair hoping to find all the pins she had put in them and release the curls down her back. Having let her hair grow out since the Atlantia it was actually down passed the middle of her back now. Standing naked before her dresser she took one hair tie and made a half ponytail on the left side of her head, then repeated to the right side leaving her long bags to hand down the side of her face in a soft waves. the ponytails bounced slightly and curled at the end.

Reaching for her clothing she started to get dressed in her uniform, she had every intention of sneaking to the holodeck to get in an hour.

Vlimar entered the security office, looking around for the Lieutenant. As he walked across the empty space, he finally crossed an Ensign, looking down his padd, not really looking where he was heading. Vlimar grabbed his arm as he almost hit him. "Where's Lieutenant Ebonheart?", he asked, coldly. The Ensign looked up at the Commander and stood at attention, surprised. He thought for a second, before saying "Her quarters, I believe, sir.".

Vlimar nodded at the Ensign, pulled up the Quarters assignations and began walking towards the Lieutenant's quarters.

Chloe finished dressing in her uniform tossing her hair over her shoulder and down her back shaking her head slightly. making sure she wasn't missing anything she started out of her quarters starting for the holodeck.

She bumped into Vlimar on the way. Vlimar smiled at the Caitian female, recognizing the facial feature of the profile biographical picture of the Lieutenant. "Ah, Lieutenant Ebonheart, I presume", he asked.

She hadn't mean to literally bump into him. but it seems she had for she felt his hands on her upper arms as if to steady her. Tilting her head back since he was a definitely taller than her mere 5'5" The feline's tail moved behind her ever so slightly as those pure blue eyes caught her by surprise leaving her well unable to speak for a moment.

"Depends on who's asking?" Chloe asked her words rolling off her tongue with a purr.

Vlimar smiled. "Vlimar PontBrillant, operations.", he replied softly. He extended his hand, almost formally.

She looked at him then blinked looking at the hand he extended before taking it. "Chloe Ebonheart Security." She said softly her purr more noticeable on a soft spoken tone.

Vlimar nodded slowly, noticing the purr for the first time. "You are busy?", he asked. "Or do you have time for a quick chat?", he continued, while slightly shaking her hand.

She hesitated having hoped to get to the holodeck, but it sound as if it were going to have to wait. she may be carving but she did still put duty above all else. "I am actually free." She said softly smiling up at him like a cute kitty, not having moved her hand from his yet.

Vlimar nodded. "Great, let's go to your office so we can talk in private, shall we?", he asked, smiling, not removing his hand either.

Chloe's tail flicked in annoyance at this really. The feline would prefer to go to the holodeck, but well duty called and she was answering. Instead she gave a nod. moving to finally extract her hand from his no matter how nice it felt. She was new here she knew nothing of the people. The feline officer walked towards the lift, besides she thought of Cecil and had no idea what he thought of their 'relationship' thus far.

Vlimar shouted "Security Command Offices", as the lift door shut and closed. He then looked at Chloé: "I need to brief you on a potential dangerous element we have on-board. We might need some security measures to insure safety.", he said, giving a summary to her. He obviously was withholding some information to Chloé.

Chloe started when he suddenly shout like that at the computer teetering on one foot she reached for the only thing available to help steady herself and that was his arm causing her to stumble towards him. The feline blinked up at him listening despite her surprise she had totally not been expecting that really.

"So you wish for someone to guard the Captain?" Chloe asked that natural purr not having stepped away from the other officer whom she'd stumbled into when he startled her.

Vlimar shook his head negatively, while helping her to gather her balance. "No, actually, someone to... keep an eye on. Surveillance, if you must ask.", he stated, obviously not wanting to share too much in the Turbolift.

"Hmmm." Was all Chloe said while the lift moved and he helped her regain his balance. She stood silently beside him, watching him from the corner of her eyes quite aware of his presence. wondering what this was about, she had the patients to wait til he was ready to reveal more.

The lift door opened and Vlimar began walking to the Security Offices, where he entered the Security Conference room. He looked at Chloe and waited for her to sit and take her eases.

"Do you want something to drink?" Chloe asked as they entered going to get a drink of water from the replicator in the conference room.

"A Gunpowder Green Tea, with a dash of milk, please.", he answered.

Once the drinks were taken care of, Chloe moved to take a seat on the conference table top really since it was only the two of them, she would feel silly sitting at the head of the table with only the two of them.

Vlimar took a sip of his hot tea, then looked at Chloe, seriously. "Alright. Here's the situation. We have a diplomatic envoy onboard, named Mikkal of Atlantis Prime. He is not under arrest, or order investigations as of yet. However... We need to keep an eye on him, get a general idea of what he is doing."

"It's doable using the ships sensors. I'm not sure the Captain would approve of this though, what are you hoping to learn?" Chloe asked him softly sipping her water.

Vlimar shook head immediately. "No, I have no interest into using the ship's sensors. They are modifiable and they would leave evidence, evidence that could put this crew in jeopardy in case of a diplomatic incident.", he stated, slowly, seriously. "That is why I would like to task you with this mission.", he asked, calmly. "You are basically one that I was informed I could trust with such a... sensitive mission.", he added, leaning back on his chair for her answer.

"You can trust me with any kind of mission." She purred though her tone was quite serious she sipped her water moving to sit in a chair rather than a table her eyes meeting his.

Vlimar smiled as Chloe sat back down. "Great. And now, as you may have heard, I have been named Strategic Operations Commander. Basically, head of Security, Tactical & Operations aboard. Therefore, I will need a second right arm in Security, to insure continuation and transition.", he stated, softly. "Would you be up for the challenge?", he asked.

"I am up to a Challenge," Chloe grinned her tail moving behind her slightly. "What is the Job?" She asked softly.

Vlimar picked up a mini-PADD and extended it to Chloe. "Chief Constable", he said. Basically, you would be in charge of all in-ship investigations and other matters. Basically acting as my right arm.", he added, prior to finishing his drink. "Read it over and let me know if there's anything you need or if you have any questions.", he claimed, waiting.

Chloe read over the PADD that he'd handed to her. "Seems well explained, though you still haven't told me exactly what it is I'm watching Mikkal for or how you want it done if the sensors cant be used?" She asked watching him with eyes alert with perception.

Vlimar shrugged. "The good old way. Surveillance. Physical surveillance. Follow him, note his actions and, if you can, record what he says. But, mind yourself, he's quite the clever objective.", he stated. "Watch yourself.", he said, smiling.

"Will do, Anything else I should know?" She purred finishing her water.

"Yes. If he approaches the bridge, stop him immediately and call me. Same goes if he approaches the Captain. Arrest him on false pretext if you must. He cannot approach the Captain.", he said, severely. "Understood?", he asked, confirming his directives.

"Crystal Clear." She said softly understanding his fierce protection of his captain.

Vlimar nodded, satisfied. "Thank you Lieutenant.", he said, as he was standing up. He extended his hand to her again. "It will be a pleasure to work with you.", he added, smiling.

Chloe smiled accepting the hand shake by sliding her hand into his her eyes locked onto his not sure if she should resist or not, because he was definitely yummy, but he's also her boss now. crap!

Vlimar stood and exited the Conference Room, heading for his newly requisitioned office in the Security Department.

Chloe followed as well wondering who this Mikkal was and why he had managed to get himself on the watch list.
