Kachiko looked up as her office door opened, Cadet Cai Sun stepping in holding a PADD, "Commander?"
"Cai-chan, come in," Kachiko smiled and waved the young green Senior Cadet inside.
"Sorry to bother you, but there was important Flash traffic from Command. I can't read it, since it's classified," the quarter-Orion girl walked in and set the PADD down on the desk.
Kachiko nodded at the girl, "Please, Cadet, sit and take a load off." The girl had been busy getting accustomed to her duties, with her Aunt Kachiko as a temporary surrogate. Kachiko intended to have the sweet young lady prepared for the job by the time the Merlin put back out.
As Cai sat down,Kachiko keyed on the PADD, allowing it to scan her retina, before examining the Flash message.

Kachiko arched an eyebrow, "Well shit."
Touching her desk console,she opened a comm channel, "Bayushi to Second Lieutenant Jantzen. I need you to deploy First Platoon aboard the Merlin. Full battle rattle. Secure essential systems and supplement Security and ensure the identity of all whom board the ship."
"Might I ask what is going on, Commander?" came the Marine's response.
"No, not really. Just that there is currently an important hijacking threat at all dockyards right now," Kachiko sighed. "Bayushi out."
The Commander turned Marine turned Commander stood up, still staring at the PADD, "Thank you, Cai. You're dismissed for the day."
It was time to go bother the Captain again.
