Ameen was about to respond when the chief of security sent a comm to their location.
[Sothrick to Commander Nira, Good job Commander, at the moment it would seem the Nausicans are the owners of the technology that is distressing the Ferengi ship. I will likely have you go on the ship if we can assure to be able to do so safely. Stay with the First Officer and follow his needs for the moment. Keep me apprised if there is any changes. Thank you, Sothrick out.]
"Understood, Commander Tourock," Nira responded.
Did she say Tourock? that's and odd way to address him for sure... hmmm...
"Sothrick keeps calling me by my first name," she whispered as if reading his thoughts. "I don't know why, but it doesn't feel proper. If you're wondering why I addressed him by his first name...well, it'll be, as the expression goes, 'a taste of his own medicine.' Apologies for using his first name, but I'm hoping it gets him to go by my surname on duty. Properly."
"That's an interesting thing going on here. I will talk to him if you like...?" Morad offered. "Vulcans rarely do things for no reason, and I'm curious to see what's his."
"I can't help but to spot the irony in this, non Bajorans do that to me all the time." Keti added.
"It is... unfortunate." Ameen replied. "You can call me Morad if it makes you feel better. In fact in my home country, we don't call each other by our last name any way. Unless you attach a rank to it I guess." He chuckled.
At that point the scientist had turned his attention back to the rock while he kept talking.
"Commander it might not be anything more than an innocent mistake, but what if it isn't? Known space pirates wouldn't be above monitoring communications, doesn't Star Fleet have a directive about that? I am basing this off of what can be a simple mistake, something that you would know more about than myself." Keti added.
"Let's not speculate... I will talk to him and we will see." Ameen replied while eyeing the rock.
"Commander Ameen these rocks are a dead end, I will work on them until I know for sure." Keti said.
"Yes, good idea." replied the first officer as he tabbed his comm-badge.
"Ameen to the bridge." He said. "We evacuated the areas of the ship that may have been contaminated. All the rocks that had appeared are now secure in the science labs and being thoroughly examined and carefully by the science department. What are your orders Captain?"
Morad asked as he awaited his next assignment.
