Hunter woke to the incessant chirping of the his combadge. "Yeah yeah yeah, I'm coming" he said to himself. He stood up and pressed the console. "Yes what is it?"

Security Officer Beth'al Sir, your presence is requested in security."

"I'll be right there" he said. He slipped on his jacket and headed down to security. As he entered the office Be'thal saluted him, Also in the room were to security personnel from Qul Tuq and a Ferengi seated between them in hand restraints. "At ease, status report Ensign?"

Be'thal crossed her arms and stood before the Captain, Qul Tuq security Sir, escorted our newest Security Officer here," She gave Highwaij a contemptuous look like only a Klingon could.

Hunter stepped over to the Qul Tuq officers, "What happened?"

"Sorry to disturb you Captain, but there was a fight in one of the bars onboard the station One of you're officers was in the fight, since our brig is full we decided to bring him to you" The Security Officers said as they pointed at Highwaij

"I see," said Hunter, "Well, would you please take your restraints off my security officer?"

Hunter watched as they unfettered Highwaij and left the office.

Hunter turned to the Ferengi and shook his head, "Its 2 in the morning, do you have just one good reason I shouldn't throw you in there until morning?" said Hunter nodding at the brig filled with cardassian and federation prisoners.

"Forgive me Captain, I'm only a humble officer, not worth of a fine Captain like you're self. If I can help you with anything like a bottle of Romulan ale or something like that, don't hesitate to ask me"

Hunter signed, "Ok Mister, you are confined to quarters until tomorrow when I get this sorted out." Hunter nodded to Be'thal. Hunter turned and left the security office.

"Yes Captain, I'm in you're depth" Highwaij said on his knees, showing his teeth "You're throughly showing signs of a great Captain, I even heared the Commodore speak highly about you" Highwaij stopped as the Captain had left the room he got up looked around him and headed towards the room that was reserved for him once he had entered it the door closed behind him, when he walked back the doors stay closed "Computer open the door"he said

"Unable to do so, you are not to leave this room until ordered bye the Captain"the monotone voice of the computer replayed

Highwaij smiled "He's good, he's good"he spoke uploud as he unpacked his belongings and laid down on his bed after a few minutes he fell asleep
