Secrets : Part One

Several days had passed since Tyvek had returned from looking for his father's ship. He had found his father and had agreed to monitor the situation from his perspective as science officer. He couldn't help but fear that Saitek's uneasiness of Adama might some how be related to his once having had Bendii syndrome.

But the other part of him, his human side , trusted his father's judgement.

He could already tell a big difference especially the new staff that he had recently aquired. When Commodore Hunter was in command the best he had was Gunney and Corporal Smith. Now atleast three civilian scientist had been requested and two ensigns he had never seen before were now billoted to the Science Department.

Stepping away from his post, Tyvek took his lunch break off base.

Once through the gate on his speeder-bike, the young Vulcan headed to New Canada park a small out of the way resting spot.

With his home made communicator in hand he then attempted his first check in.

" Peter to Farmer Brown. Peter to Farmer Brown."

A static replied ... then a voice.

[ The Briar Patch is Secure Peter.]

" Farmer Brown there are no carrots in the garden." he added.

[ The Crows are in the garden Peter.]

" Little Nut Brown Hare is asleep."

[ The Fox is in the Briar Patch. Farmer Brown Out.]

Someone was scanning the viscinity of the * Powell*.

Tyvek returned to his post and continued to do his job inconspiciously until he discovered that one of the Ensigns had been using his doppler equipment.

" Report ?" he ordered her.

" Sir long range scans are detecting a tachionic pulse nearby. Perhaps the commander should be alerted." stated the Ensign.

" No need to bother him Ensign. Please finish the catalog of inventory and I will monitor the anomali." replied.

This time it worked but he might not be so lucky the next time.
