"While I might not be your senior officer.  I do have a little bit of sway 
because of my position.  I have no doubt that you superiors would not enjoy 
reading about this incident."

"In the papers, probably not, but when they hear that without speaking with 
us first, you let a being on this station with body parts not belonging to 
him, I think they will point the finger at you now us.  Besides, we tried to 
cooperate with Starfleet.  It was Starfleet that would not try to cooperate 
with us.  I am sure that your superiors will love to hear from ours about 
the benefits, and regulations, of interagency cooperation.  So, please file 
a report with our superiors."

Dais almost blanched when he heard that the items were body parts.  "While I 
agree that it would not be looked well upon, we still could not have acted 
upon the information received as the result of an illegal scan.  It would 
not have held up in court, and you know it."

After a moment's consideration, Dais continued, "That does not mean that we 
will not be able to deal with the situation while the representative is on 
the station.  Possession of such parts are most likely still against the law 
while on the station even if he is not transporting it.  May I ask what body 
parts and species were in his possession?"

"So now you want to cooperate.....  Well Commander, it really makes not 
difference how you back door it.  Any judge will throw out anything you go 
to him with because your knowledge is based on a legally forbidden action.  
Any defence lawyer worth half his wait in dirt would be able to get your 
evidence kicked, and without evidence you have no case.  But in the spirit 
of interagency cooperation, it was a pair of hands.  Human hands at that.  
It was not clear if they were from differnet individuals, but I would say 
so..."

"Perhaps through proper channels we can still get this Bajoran dispite your 
diplomatic indiscretion."

"Just wait a minute here.  There is no we.  When you decided to take 
jurisdiction and let the Bajoran in, you accepted all responsibility.  
Basicially, it's not our problem, it's all yours my good Commander." the 
agent replied.  Obviously happy with things...

"I am sorry, perhaps I can still get this Bajoran dispite your diplomatic 
indiscretion."  Dais was quickly becoming an unhappy Trill.  "I am not sure 
how you are planning on blaming Starfleet in this incident, Mister.  It is 
your job to review incoming materials and persons under the guidelines set 
before you.  You did not do that.  As a result, you have information that 
you should not have.  The Bajoran came to the station on a Bajoran ship. 
(OOC: I assume since he was going through customs.)"  Dais glanced toward 
the Lieutenant to see if there was anything else that needed to be 
discussed.
