There was a chirp on Robin's console to notify her that Sickbay was receiving a data upload from the away team on board the qoH. It contained a scan of a blood sample that the tricorder hadn't been able to recognise, and a request to identify the species it came from.
A few moments later, there was a message from Calleja herself. The mercurial Security Chief was still fighting a battle with her own temper, and there was a hint of that in her voice.
[Calleja to Mayfair. Can you go to a private space please, confirm when you're on your own?]
There was a pause until Robin let Mara know she was off the Sickbay floor.
[Mid Doyle has sent through a blood sample just now. I know I can trust you to be discrete so I'll catch you up. This is a slaver's ship. The blood sample came from a hidden compartment full o' chains and manacles. We've also found Dominion tech. Hence the secrecy. I don't want that word on an open channel until we're good and ready. Can you identify the race that blood sample came from and let me and the Captain know directly please?]
