Allso spoke up for the first time. "Commander Dais, I did not know what I
was transporting as part of my duties as a diplomatic courier, nor did I
ask. It offers some level of protection by not knowing."
Garibaldi added, "Protection from what... you conscious or the law?" his
tone dripping with distain.
"Commander, really... Is that necessary? No one here has questioned your
handling of your ivestigations, now have they?" Rivik responded.
Gariabldi did not answer..
Dais leaned forward. "Gentlemen, I think the focus needs to stay on the
topic here. "Mr. Rivik, I think it is important to point out that Mr.
Allso is claiming that he was transporting this hand unknowingly as the
result of it being part of a diplomatic package. Is this possible?"
"As difficult as you may find it to believe, yes, it is." was the
reply.
Joe just looked at Dais.
Dais clearly blanched at the claim. "So, the Bajoran diplomatic service is
responsible and knowingly transported such an item to the station even
though it is clearly against Federation law?" Dais' tone of voice deried
the situation incredulity.
