"At ease, it's good to have you back. Now then, recently I've been made aware of a... situation involving the<em>Alexander</em>. Come, we'll speak more in my quarters." If there was on area that Cortez felt was truly as secured as it could be with what resources were available, it was his quarters. He'd like to add more security but that would have to wait. Cortez also asked Arkhah to stay in the corridor where he could be fully concealed and carefully note anyone who might come by, or if there was video coverage of the area (I would think there would be, but I dunno) to join them inside.
