"That they do.  Now that you mention it... May I borrow access to your terminal, 
Admiral.  If I may, I vaguely remember remember reading something out of an intell 
summary that was sent to us."

Kit pushed back from the terminal.  "Go ahead," she gestured.

Aurellius took the terminal, and signed in using his ID.  He then browsed quickly and 
found what he was looking for.

 "Here it is.  Admiral t'Llhweiir filed a report for distribution to select commands, 
and we were one of them.  It seems that one of her operatives in Cardassian territory 
came across a meeting.  A meeting of certain powers with axes to grind, if you will.  
A picture was taken, and in it...", he
said showing Kitanya the image, "... are a few Cardassian brass, a Founder flanked by 
their Jem Ha'dar, a Venasian that looked an awful like General Aamon (the new Venasian 
Leader), and a felinid. "  The felinid looked just like those that Kit had fought 
alongside the Special Ops folks where Black was now running his operation.

Kit leaned forward, her hair standing up and her tail slashing so hard it hit Aurelius 
leg rather forcefully.  "Sorry," she said, and put a stop to it, but the tip was still 
twitching angrily.  "That's one of them" she said.  "Damn it!  Therrre is a 
connection."  She was about to call when she remembered.  "Damn!  t'Llhweiir is off on 
walkabout!"  She cursed in Caitian more than once.  The implications were staggering.  
If they were in cahoots, they were looking at a two-front full-scale war that they 
didn't have the ships or the organization to handle, and the Venasians, and therefore 
everyone else in that picture, knew it.  The Federation would fall, and soon after the 
Klingons, who also had Venasians in their borders and a front with the felinids...  
"Does Lasiterrr know about this?"
