 Saval turns to Mel and gestures to the stasis box. She says, "There is another option. We could just leave him here in the box." Mel rears back in surprise and demands, "Do you know him?"  Saval replies, "I do. This is [[trek:characters:deelor|Andrew Deelor]], an agent of Starfleet Intelligence. I submit to you, captain, that he is far more useful in stasis that he is out. For instance, to paraphrase a quote from one of Ensign Kras's favorite movies, this is the one soul the Devil would climb out of Hell to claim. Or more accurately, the Badlands."
-Mel looks at her first officer strangely, and Saval explains, "I'm talking about [[trek:characters:bjornson|Bjornson]]. This is the perfect bait for a Bjornson trap. On the other hand, if history turns out the way all projections we've seen so far imply, he will also make an excellent dowry in case in Ensign Kras does in fact end up in a relationship with him." Jen announces, "I am not OK with this!" Mel agrees, and Saval adds thoughtfully, "There is also a potential security risk if we open him." Mel announces, "If he's SI, then this is [[trek:characters:elias|Vaughn]]'s problem now. Do with him whatever you want, just get him off the bridge. And out of my sight." Saval allows, "Elias Vaughn does need a footrest."

 Mel says sarcastically, "Are you going to put him on top of the hull like a hood ornament?" Saval considers the option and then taps her combadge. She hails Ssleestak and asks, "Would it be possible to install a hood ornament on the hull of the ship?" Ssleestak, who has no clue what's going on, replies, //"Yes? You could also stick something on the back of the ship!"// Saval brightens and replies, "Excellent idea, Lieutenant. Thank you very much."

 ==== Zug Chooses His Ambassadorial Outfit ====
-Meanwhile, in the empty observation lounge on deck one, [[trek:characters:jessa|Jessa]] explains the concept of underwear to Zug. Zug doesn't seem to get any of it, forcing Jessa to keep explaining it over and over. Finally, Captain [[trek:characters:galannoor|Galan'noor]] leans into Jessa and says, "Zug understands underwear, he's just messing with you." Jessa glares at [[trek:characters:zug|Zug]], who smiles widely. Jessa grumbles, "OK, how about shoes?" Zug brightens and exclaims "Shoes!" Taking the cue, Jessa starts a small dissertation on shoes, socks, boots, sandals, and all other sorts of footwear within the Federation. Zug is clearly fascinated by all this, and Jessa realizes he's not messing around this time. She tells him, "If you're not used to wearing footwear, I recommend starting with sandals first." She then digresses into the styles of various sandals that he can try.

 Zug absorbs everything she says, and then demands, "Hats!" Jessa brightens, and then starts talking about hats. Zug listens intently and then heads to the replicator to get a hat. He replicates a pirate hat with a jaunty feather. Jessa eyes the ensemble and perversely wonders about 'causal Ferengi' fashion vs. 'business Ferengi.' She continues her discussion and branches out into other items of clothing, mostly accoutrements like cravats. She replicates items as he requests, so by the time the senior officers gather on the bridge just before 1130 hours, Zug sports combat boots, cargo pants, the eye-bleedingly bright purple shirt, a neon green cravat, and the pirate hat with a bright red feather. The Starfleet officers stare at his ensemble, but Ssleestak grumbles, "Under UV light it does all go together."

 Jessa nods and then brings the box to sickbay. Since she kept the blade in the stasis box, the blood on it is still fresh. [[trek:characters:swims|She-Who-Swims]] slithers out to see what she needs, and Jessa asks, "Can you analyze the blood on this?" The Arcadian frowns but complies. She takes the blade and runs a few tests on the blood before returning it to Jessa and stating, "Thanks to unique blood types and markers, the blood belongs to Peel Atuun's father." Jessa rears back in surprise and confusion, and She-Who-Swims notes the incident in her log and then promptly forgets this conversation ever happened. Jessa decides that that is a mighty fine idea, and she heads back to the office after placing the blade back in stasis box. She sides the stasis box into her drawer, and lets it sit for a day. Finally, on Sunday, she tells [[trek:characters:armina|Armina]] about it.

+=====Summary=====
+Ssleestak brings Kivo to the nodule manifestation and then to main engineering. Kivo taps into the master systems display and reveals the Dai’Loq technology and programming. She discovers Sola and realizes the nanites are operating with a future operating system. Jen accesses the data on the stasis pod and discovers this man was abducted in 2365 but has been continually rejected by the Dai’Loq. Three nodules jump to the bridge and repair flight control. Saval reveals the man in the stasis box in Andrew Deelor, an agent of SI and one of Bjornson’s most hated foes – and makes it clear she supports Bjornson in this. Mel declares this is now SI’s problem and Saval takes the stasis box to her office. The nodules jump to tactical. Kivo deactivates Jace Fortis’s modifications and the EPS grid stabilizes immediately by ten percent. Phillip brings up concerns if they lose Jen, so Kivo ties the nanites to Sola. She meets Mel privately and reveals some additional upgrades – the ability to track Questoria agents with internal sensors. Kivo departs with her bodyguards after taking her mask off for Ssleestak. Jessa helps Zug choose clothing, despite the clashing shades. The //Solstice// receives messages of thanks from many Tizit citizens and one from Matriarch M’Greer of the N’Dari, and Mel sends a text message to Zivan. The Starfleet flotilla departs Kordikar, the //Solstice// under tow. The first four days of their journey is quiet, although Jessa learns the truth about the Capellan blade.
