This room was a bit different from the lobby.  It was quite sparce, business
like.  One got the impression that fun was never had in this room.  That it
was a place of dread of those that got called there.  Or perhaps it was
thebronze plack on the wall that read:

  "Somedays you get the bear.  Somedays the bear gets YOU." - H. Norman
Schwartzkopf, the "Bear", General, US Army.

Katya snorted a little with humor.  First, that an American would be called a
Bear, the representation of Russia, and second, the thought made her pleased;
yes, sometimes the Russian Bear did get you.  And when it did...

A few short moments later the doors open to reveal another human.  This one
was dressed in black leather pants, and a white top beneath a black leather
coat.  She did not look like anything that Starfleet would have...  

Her eyes became those of a wolf's; suspicious, hungry, investigating.  So,
there was more to it than a simple joint operation.  These two looked like
cops, so they must be FBI.  She nodded politely, keeping her movements
reserved, cautious.  "Greetings," she said in Russian-accented Standard.
