It appeared as if she was still undetected. But there were no
guarantees that would stay that way. However, something was nagging at her.
'What was this ship doing here?' Perhaps she was just overly concerned,
being the chief of SF Intell and all.... Her question got more serious when
the computer fired out.
"The USS James Mason's last reported location is Starbase 119."
Starbase 119 was an out of the way station whose duty was to form a second
line of defense against any border incursion. It was situated pretty much
in the middle of no where, as there were not many inhabited worlds in it's
sector. But they were far from that sector, and what was this ship doing
over here if it was supposed to be in port......
Another query revealed that the ship was supposed to be in for repairs and a
major crew change. the computer added another goodie... The James mason
was running silent....
