It took only a few moments to generate the reports that she wanted,
after she entered all of the requests in. She found that those stations on
the major contested borders- Romulan Neutral zone and the Cardassian DMZ -
had unusual number of casualties. Unusual meaning more than 40% of their
missions. The number of repeat mission was also a staggering number. On
those same borders it appeared as if 50% of the missions were repeat- same
location similar intended goal. However, the alarming correlation was that
the vast majority of the casualities were occuring on the repeat missions.
The more times a mission was repeated (again same location or similar goals)
the higher the number of casualities.

As kitanya started to go over the reports, she found many of them to be dry
and somehow lacking. Very similar to those she read from Outpost Pumace.
Perhaps a bit more digging she woudl find that Pumace was not an isolated
story....
