Ahh, the rotten core. That's why Aurelius had sent her here. This space
was critical, and most likely a hotbed of activity at this point in time,
but there were only token missions of little value and almost useless
reports coming from here. Being a suspicious feline, she wondered about the
person giving the orders, and what could make them do this at such an
important time. The Bajorans were becoming a force to contend with, and the
Cardassians were more dangerous than ever... Both almost certainly had
somethign to hide, especially in this area of space, along their borders,
and both would probably pay a lot to have someone look the other way. She
was disturbed by the trend she was seeing, and it would change, one way or
another.

She slowed to full stop and activated the com unit. "This is Vice Admirrral
Kitanya, Dirrrector, Special Operrrations." She followed with her pesonal
code and the craft identifier. "Rrrequesting perrrmission to dock."
