"Who Ever Thought That Genetics Could Be So Confusing"

Stardate: 60327.0915
Setting: USS ANUBIS, Deck 14, Bio Chemistry Lab
The moment the woman who had introduced herself as Jaycee step out of the shadows, the mind of the Shillian scientist jumped into overdrive. How could this person appear so much like the Intelligence Liaison officer of the ANUBIS? If Enaii had not died during their last mission the Chief Science Officer might have believed that this had been an elaborate joke concocted by the head of the Intelligence Gathering Center, but Maya had personally witnessed the demise of the Intel Agent and there had been no way that the outcome had been anything other than the one she had tried so hard to challenge. Lieutenant Commander Enaii had died during her attempt to transport through the interference field that had been around SURIAL III, so the woman calling herself Jaycee could not be Enaii even though she resembled the Intel Operative like a twin.
"Who are you?" Ensign Mei asked, voicing first the question that had been on the lips of the three officers who had been summoned to the Bio Chemistry Lab. As everyone waited for the answer the room became absolutely still to the point where the scientist could hear the beating heart of the Cebuella monkey that had sought refuge in the hair of the Shillian woman.
"We are sisters of E-N-A-I-I," En, who had not ventured out of the protection of the shadows covering the far section of the laboratory, answered after several seconds that the unseen woman had spent flicking her wrists. That she had spelled out the name of her sister had only to the confusion felt by the three women who had been called to attend this strange gathering.
"We have asked you here because our research has shown that together we would have an 84.6 percent chance of being successful in separating the entity known as Richard from the physical body of Lieutenant Dawson," Jaycee replied shifting the focus from the fact that they were related to Enaii to that of them being on the same side as they were in regards to saving the Chief Engineering Officer of the USS ANUBIS.
"Sisters?" Ensign Summers said with a deep tone of incredulity, "The file on Lieutenant Commander Enaii never made any mention of her having any siblings."
Still feeling her head reeling from the sight of Jaycee and the surrounding circumstances surrounding her meeting, the Shillian scientist intervened with an explanation to the point brought up by the Chief Medical officer. "Lieutenant Commander Enaii was a Level-5 Field Operative for Starfleet Intelligence, whatever information was in her file was carefully restricted to the point that the name of her own daughter does not appear. It is therefore easy to imagine that the names of any siblings would have also been kept out of the dossier to insure that such information could not be used against her and possibly compromise her position or mission. I mean it makes sense to keep such information from the official record, but I am sure that Talia will be happy to learn that she has aunts, that is of course if she did not already know of their existence."
"We know Talia," Jaycee said making sure not to give any hints as to the actual number of sisters Enaii had and or number of aunts her daughter subsequently had. That Jaycee and En had been sent out of Section 1 for this mission had been a large enough breach of rules, but to even suggests that there were more of them out there, would only have made matters worse.
"We need to work on the problem at hand," En said from the darkness. "We only have seventy hours and fifty two minutes before Lieutenant D-A-W-S-O-N will face Admiral K-O-N-I-K-I and the rest of the court-martial tribunal."
"Then I suggest we put all of our questions aside for the time being and get to work," Lea said, looking to her two companions. As much as Ensign Summers would have loved to learn more about Jaycee, En and their relationship with Enaii, the present priority of the Chief Medical Officer had been to save David from spending the rest of his life in a penal colony or sent away to an unknown location from which he would never be heard of ever again.
Although the Chief Science Officer seemed to be more than ready to accept the aid that had been offered by the sisters of their deceased Intelligence Liaison Officer, Ensign Mei appeared a little less enthusiastic still questioning the reason why these never before seen women had suddenly taken on the task of helping with the defence of a person whom Enaii had been well known to dislike. Why would Jaycee and En be willing to help David when Captain Rikar believed him to be the reason for the death of their sister? Something was not making sense and a Counsellor the reason for this demanded to be discovered and brought out into the light.
