ON:

Following his witnessing the outburst of the Andorian Captain, Damian made his way up to the enlisted quarters. Walking through the deck, Damian found it slightly annoying that every enlisted person he came across quite literally jumped out of the way in order for him to pass through the passageway. Finally reaching Tanner's room, he tapped the chime to gain entry. After waiting a few seconds, he tapped the chime again. He started to tap his foot impatiently and felt his impatience growing. After a moment, he tapped in the command override code in order to enter. Sticking his head in, he looked around and noticed that there wasn't any sign that this place had been used recently.

"Male Officer on deck!" Damian yelled to alert anyone who could be inside to his presence. He walked over to Tanner's area where the bed lay in complete and utter disarray. Opening drawers, he saw that clothing had been removed recently, it was almost like Tanner had been planning to take a trip...

"What are you doing here?" a female voice inquired from behind the colonel. Damian spun on his heel and turned on the voice, which turned out to be Yeoman Second Class Aquilina de Luca, Admiral Bremer's Aide. Her breath caught in her throat as she saw Damian's rank.

"I-" she started before Damian held up his hand for her to stop speaking.

"Petty Officer, I have a few questions regarding Petty Officer Willeg and I want you to answer them. Got it?" he said, an aggressive tone coming into his voice. The petty officer simply nodded at Damian as she started to bite her lip.

"First, were is she and did she tell you where she was going?" he asked, his fists balled. The petty officer shook her head silently growing more afraid.

"Second, if you didn't see her, where did she go last??" Damian asked, his patience growing thinner.

The Petty Officer broke into tears "She said she was going to the bar for some drinks and she never came back!" she said, finally breaking down into loud, racking sobs. Damian knew that he was being overly abrasive but he needed answers and he needed them pronto. Satisfied, Damian walked out of the enlisted quarters and into the corridor. Shaking his head, he started to wonder where Tanner had gone seeing as it wasn't like her to simply disappear into thin air. Suddenly, Damian got an epiphany: Maybe someone in the bar would know where Tanner had gone...
