Azura watched the last woman enter and he pressed the button on the desk that closed the door and sealed the office for when the Doctor discussed confidential information with her patience. He sat down on the edge of the desk and looked at each in turn before calling out to the computer.

"PALLAS, please join us." the shimmering image of the holograpic interface to the computer AI appeared an eyebrow raised.

"Until we learn exactly what the Petty officer was assigned to do or even who assigned her to the Redemption I want her access to the computer limited." he looked at PALLAS "Dummy up around her and only allow her access to the faux database." he looked at the new Intelligence head. "Find out everything you can on her. There is something about her that I cant put my finger on."

"Of course sir, I should have something within a few hours." Sheridan nodded obliging the CO.

He looked to Doyl "Same thing with you, monitor her actions while in sickbay. I will instruct the doctors to slow walk her clearance to full duty which should give us time to do our due dilligance. I will send a communique to West and see if or why he assigned her to the ship." He paused for comments, concerns or input from the other officers.

Maggie nodded. "I think we should monitor all her communications as well." She shook her head. "It doesn't make sense. She's either too green to know what she's doing, or she's on an urgent errand for West. Either is concerning."

Azura nodded "Indeed, more concerning if it's for West and I haven't been read into it." He looked to the Lieutenant "I take it you weren't expecting her either? We can assume that some of that could be because of the cons blackout we've been experiencing in system."

Nicole shook her head. "No sir, and Commander Severide never said anything to me either. Although honestly, I'm not sure what that woman is thinking half the time.

"I'd like to work with PALLAS to beef up the faux database. If she gets bored I wouldn't put it past her to poke around." She smiled at PALLAS. "I think we can create a few rabbit holes for this Alice."

PALLAS grinned winningly "It may be hard to improve upon what we already have in place but I do so enjoy a challenge. I would suggest removing the AI the Petty officer employs until we can ascertain her motives. While less sophisticated than I, it is a strong tool in the right hands."

"I also believe if we allow her a sort of free reign of databases, her motives will reveal themselves. If she's any good we're gonna have to be patient. She'll take her time and wait for us to become trusting and complacent before she makes her move. Although, I have to admit I'm a little confused by her actions in sickbay." She said with a snicker. "I mean c'mon she openly told us West sent her. She either took a hell of a nasty bump, or....well I don't know right now." Nicole placed her hands on her hips as she began to ponder.

Maggie nodded. "I think if we add things for her to find, and rabbit holes for her to follow, we can keep her busy long enough to figure out what she's doing. PALLAS and I have the place for her to poke around without endangering the ship or its secrets."

Azura nodded "Very good, make it happen. I want updates on what has been found about her as soon as you get anything. When we get it if this comms black out I'll send a message to West and see what's happening."

"Yes, sir," Maggie said. There was a lot to do quickly, but she knew that she and PALLAS could make it work.
