>K'Tael's eyebrow raised. "Do you have any specifics about the complaints?"
"Well, apparently he is in their little group, and is not trusted. Mostly
talk and little return on their turst/investment, if you know what I mean."
K'Tael was not at all surprised by Garibaldi's involvement. It had been
something that had been brought forward before. He was surprised about the
possibility that the Bajorans weren't getting what they wanted out of his
involvement. "Could you elaborate?"
Tom gave him an exasperated kind of look, like 'What I gotta tell you everyt
hing here....' But gave up the goods.
"From what Uglara was telling me, Garibaldi was brought into the group amid
some doubt that he could be trusted. The Good Admiral Garibaldi infered that
he could, and that he offered something well worth the risk.... An easy and
unlimited access to Admiral Lasiter. Being that Garibaldi is a long time
friend and trusted subordinate to the CinC, the notion holds water. It would
seem as if Garibaldi promised access to some highly sensative information and
has not, at least at this point, delivered on his promises. The Chief of
Security at the Embassy has always been leary of him, and is demanding
results. The Ambassador (Bajoran Ambassador) supports Garibaldi, as he was
the one who brought him into the fray, but is starting to hunger for more
results. Uglara will be by to deliver the recordings when she can. She has
an appointment or two, then should drop them by."
>From Tom's description, K'Tael had no choice but to start wondering whether
Garibaldi's involvement might be part of on of his Special Projects. If so,
he could prove to be a valuale ally in bringing all of the cases involving
the Bajorans to a close. If not, talking to him about it could be a real
problem.
"I look forward to her arrival," he said simply. He waited to see if Tom had anything
else or was going to demand anything else.
Tom only smiled, and after a silent moment, he left without any ceremony or
further adieu.
Shortly, after he left there was a call for security to some to break up a brawl in
one of the pubs.
When the suspect was brought in to cool off in the holding cells of Security,
another came into K'Tael's office.
"Commander, the bar fighter we just brought in wants to see you. Insists on it in
fact. What do you want me to tell her."
