"Only if you will share this bottle of Kanar (sp) that I brought from a
very good distiller back on Cardassia Prime...." the new comer replied
handing over a bottle of the prized beverage.

"Well, there was an actual reason that warrented someone coming out all
this way, and when I learned of it. I, naturally, insisted on being the one
to go. Why would I pass up an oppertunity to visit with an old friend...?
Right... It is good to see you again..." he replied in a manner that led the
other to believe that something was afoot.

> "Ahhh, but let us take care of business first. We can then take the time
to enjoy each other's company once the work is out of the way." The
Cardassian

pause.
> "Really, Durak. What brings you here?"

"Well the primary official reason is that there are some security and
intelligence reports that Central Command believes that you should have.
These reports had to be carried by a courier. I can just leave those with
you. However, there is another matter... the incident on DS9. How are
things going on this end?"
"Things are not moving along as quickly as they could. At the moment,
Starfleet seems to be concentrating on other things at this time. One of
their Admirals was attacked a few months ago. For awhile it appeared that it
was by another senior officer. Now, it looks like it might be a Romulan
assassin."
