>A few moments later Commander Joe Garibaldi arrives.

>"Commander Dais, hello. I am Commander Joseph Garibaldi with the Inspector Generals
>office. I understand that you have an assignment for me..."
>
>"Thank you for coming, Commander. You were recommended to me by Admiral Renaud.
>Please have a seat," indicated the XO.
>
"Thank for, Commander."
>
>"We have had a situation come up where it is imperative for a Starfleet officer to
>work with the Bajoran Chief of Staff on an investigation of one of the Bajoran's
>diplomatic entourage."
>
"Oh this is very interesting... How did this all start?"
>
>"It started yesterday. I was called down to deal with a situation in Customs. A
>Bajoran diplomat had been searched by two of the customs officers on duty at the
>time. Apparantly, there had been a mix up with his
>paperwork, and he admitted that he had an illegal personal weapon on his person. As
>you can imagine, the diplomat was not exactly the most friendly after the illegal
>search. I convinced him to turn over the personal weapon to me and Security, and he
>went on his way."
>
"That does not sound all that bad. Why do you need me to help investigate a
small weapons violation that he confessed to?"
>
>"Well, that is not all that happened," said the Trill with a sigh. "I asked the
>Customs officials what they found. It was clear to me that they had found something
>in the scan that had intensified the situation. After some discussion, they told me
>that he had a dismembered human hand on him."
>
"Well that changes everything. Why was he not arrested or at least detained in
quarters until a preliminary investigation was conducted?"
>
>"I understand that. I thought that perhaps since we could not work on it because of
>immunity, the Bajorans would be interested in it enough to investigate the situation.
> They did express an interest, but I got a
>feeling that they were going to try and sweep it under the rug once they took over.
>They agreed that it would be prudent to work with a Starfleet officer on it."
>
"You bet they will try and burry it. Good move to have some one in Starfleet with
them. At the very least they will find it hard to just blow off. How do you want
this handled? We can either do it nicely- good cop, or another way- bad cop?"
