"One moment Admiral. I will transfer you." replied the aide that
answered the call.
A few short moments later, the emblem of Starfleet was replaced my the
face of an Admiral.

"That is correct, sir. The best part of a platoon went missing or were
killed. " Van Der Loo answered.

"We are doing everything within our power, working with the planetary
defence forces to find out where the missing personnel are. I do appreciate
your offer of support, but I am not sure that it would be productive. Having
more people behind the scenes working the investigative angles would only be
more people working on it, not really speeding up the process. Putting more
troops in the field would only irratate the populous, and that would be 100%
counter productive to our original mission here, not to mention for finding
the missing Marines and Capt. Boulay.
If it would help, sir, I would be willing to relay this to Admiral
Lasiter."
