Interrupted Thoughts

Oseno had been well into making notes and plans for the Romulans the Alsea and the Artemis would be facing down when the Cardassian officer began his diatribe. Oseno listened, and observed and then the chief engineer of his own ship angirly rebutted the Cardassian and Jureth thought they were going to have to call in a security detail. At this point he kept his eyes on both men in case their emotions spilled over into physicality. It wasn't the Cardassian Oseno was worried about, it was what the Cardassian would do to LtCdr. Lire.

One might think that Jureth would be uneasy with a Cardassian in the room, especially since the wounds of the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor and the Dominion War were only just beginning to heal on Oseno's home world, and perhaps Jureth might be a bit wary of the man if he hadn't been wearing a Starfleet uniform. Still some of the things he said were directly contrary to what Fleet Captain Samji had ordered and to Starfleet's ideals in general. Not that Oseno hadn't ever done anything contrary to Starfleet's edicts, the scar on his face was proof of that.

Even though he was aware the base had its own security force Oseno merely watched and stood ready to intervene if necessary.
