Jeassaho sighed, this was the fourth time she had scanned the grotto. Nothing seemed to be happening or more to the point nothing was out of the ordinary for this section apart from the secrets of the grotto and why it had been hidden in this section of all things.

"Any particular reason why you are watching me?" The small Betazoid demanding turning to the door.

"It is my job to keep an eye on everyone, watch them, make sure they aren't a danger to themselves or those around them, and make sure everyone is safe. Why? does it bother you?" Raza asked curiously.

"Do I look like a danger to myself or are you trying to tell me I scare you?" Jeassaho wondered looking at him in her intense way. The room's lights flickered a little to remind Jeassaho why she was in this compartment again, she still hadn't found the fault that was causing the power to go on and off.

"I am not scared of anything, I actually came down to investigate a security breach and found you. You tripped a sensor that alerted me to your presence here. So mind telling me why your down here?" Thor asked curiously.

"I didn't trip a sensor I turned it off." She admitted with a shrug as the light flickered almost answering his question to explain why she was in the grotto. "Do I need to answer or is the continuing flickering light good enough to explain?" The Former Starfleet Commander didn't suffer fools or security personnel trying to intimidate her.

"I was referring to the secondary sensor trip, and you tripped that one. But yes, please explain why your down here?" Raza asked politely.

Jeassaho rolled her eyes at the man before pointing to the flickering lights. "Remember why we discovered this place in the first place faulty power circuits." She said before turning away and carrying on with her work like he wasn't there.

"Well, this is true, but you still should clear it with security first beforehand, to make sure my pesky self-don't come down here to interrupt your highness at work," Raza said calmly.

Jeassaho just turned and stared at the man for a moment before she turned away again and carried on. She didn't have time to deal with the man or his boss. "Sure... But can you let the Captain know of this matter and why I am delayed in getting power returned to his quarters."

"After the Dominion War, several security upgrades were made, which is what alerted me to your unsanctioned repair of the ships power grid which can be used to destroy this ship without anyone even knowing, so I must ask you to cease what you're doing while I get this cleared up. After all, you could trigger weapons, shields, the ship's self-destruct, anything you really want and I would be failing my duties if I allowed you to continue what you're doing without double checking and since work orders can be falsified, I rather get this cleared up in person. So please, come with me." Raza explained to the young dark haired woman.

Jeassaho looked at the man amazed as he told her to follow him. She couldn't believe that the man was taking his task as security on a ship like Rosie so extremely serious. She thought for a second to be sarcastic and difficult but nodded. "Take me to your leader." She reluctantly decided that it was easier to just let him do what he wanted, quicker she got this misinformation sorted the quicker she got back to work.

Shaking his head, they headed towards the office, where he knocked on the door and waited for admittance.

Rueben glanced up as someone knocked on his Office door. He wasn't expecting anyone so it could only mean one thing - trouble and he didn't need trouble after the mess that had been created by the Grotto being discovered.

"Come in!" He finally called. He stood as Jeassaho stepped in first followed by the Weapons Master Thor. "Unexpected. What can I do for you?"

"Sir, did you clear Miss Kea to access ship power systems? She failed to inform security of her accessing the power grid and tripped an alarm that alerted me, now if you gave her permission to access those systems then that's fine, I will allow her to go about her business but if not then a month jail time for unauthorized access of ships power systems will suffice as punishment for not following proper protocol." Raza asked clearly.

Rueben raised an eye at Thor and his bluntness. He hadn't expected an Engineer to be hauled into his office by security. "Thor... this isn't a military ship, I don't want to throw people in the brig." though it might make her talk to me as she couldn't get away, he added in his head. "There aren't many protocols on the ship and she is an Engineer who needs to fix things." he just stared at the Security Crew member until Jeassaho grew bored of waiting for one of them to speak.

"Can I go?" Jeassaho wondered finally and Rueben nodded. The Engineer had done nothing wrong at all, she was just following orders.

"Carry on Jea." He breathed wishing she would just stop for a second and talk to him. "Me and you need to talk Thor."
