What do you think are the chance he might let us have the hand? It would be
most helpful in identifying the victim and possibly lead to more
information."
"To be honest, I half expect them to pull a 'hand, wha hand?' kind of
routine. I doubt they have it in their posession, probably discarded
already. If they do have it, and admit to having it, I think it will be a
hard sell to get it from them. But stranger things have happened before,"
Joe replied candidly.
Dais had to agree. "I have no doubt that you are right. It just seems to
me that while th Bajorans are good at covering things up, they have made
some serious mistakes. For example, why was the hand even brought to the
station in the first place? It seems to me like a risk they would not want
to take."
"Unless you are an arrogant politician who thinks that they can do anything,
and often does everything..... My guess it is a trophy of some sort.
Something to gloat over, and to make a point with. After they make their
point they will dispose of it, which offers new possibilities. But we
really do not have enough to start down that road, at least not just yet."
Dais could barely hide his disgust at the statement. While he did not want
to really think about it, he was sure that this Bajoran was probably not the
only sentient being in the universe that did such things. "Well, hopefully,
our discussion this afternoon will help in that area."
