She claims to have worked here for fifteen years, following a two year spell in the defence force after her formal schooling had finished. She has been head of security for five of those years, having worked her way to the top. She says that generally there is little trouble; mostly from off-worlder students misbehaving. Rarely are there any serious breaches of security - the abbai would never dream of such a thing and there is little of interest to offworlders, barring some expensive equipment. They have a few offworlder members on the security team to help with considering the alien mindset.On the night in question she was at a concert given in the university auditorium, after which she went home to her apartments further along the Way of Understanding. Night security was handled by Tarkul, an elder male, who has been working the night shift for years. She points out that, since very little usually happens, Tarkul will not have been monitoring the screens all the time. The recordings are generally reviewed after any incidents to provide legal evidence, not as a constant monitoring system.[sblock=Ashley]As usual, the alien mind is difficult and uncomfortable to scan, although a surface scan is less unpleasant than a full deep scan. According to her surface thoughts, Yaktal is telling the truth. There is some faint interference in the mindscape, like trying to listen through a fuzz of static. It's akin to the sensation that telepaths normally get in a crowded room, and could just be the background hum of the university campus, except it doesn't quite feel like that.[/sblock]</blockquote>
