The trip back to Spacedock took loonger than expected, because the frigates could not travel at top speed when towing another craft.? However, they made it back in short order, and upon arrival the medical checks began. Commander K'Tael, LCMR. Garibaldi, and away teams were checked out first.? The others came in due course after wards, and sickbay took their time.? At Gariabldi's request, of course.? This gave the two officers a chance to chat about what was to happen next.
Inside the peace of K'Tael's office in security central the two talked about the
operation.
?? "SO, Commander, what do you think of our little operation?? Seems like we did
rather well.? At least we brought lots of folks in...."? Garibaldi started.
K'Tael nodded. "We definitely did that. We can only hope that our bugs will provide
us with the information we are hoping for."
"Thanks to your confidential informant Uglara. What did they get?"
K'Tael tapped his console to bring up the recordings that had been downloaded from the
bugs.
They had hit the gold mine. Uglara had placed recording devices ever so carefully
around the ship. There was nothing that was missed. In fact she had her a select few
members of her crew in on the act. Trying to weasle information. From trying to
estabilish how often they had meet, to where and when. She was definately worth every
bit of heat K'Tael would get when he cut her lose from those charges and fines that
were aprt of her deal.
In the meeting things got heavy.
Rivik: We have to be even more careful. A few of our friends have become liabilities,
and have been dealt with. (he opens the box with the hand) I can not stress just how
much loyality means to us. With loyality comes trust, and with trust comes a share in
the wealth and power that we will have. When O'Neill decided that he was going to
betray our loyality over some long forgotten wench of a girl, he sealed his own fate.
Instead of coming to us, he was going to spill to Starfleet. This is what happened to
him."
Others in the room could be seen, and their shock was evident. This was having a
serious effect on those people.
Rivik: (after a pause to let the effect sink in) We are well connected, and can help
you out of any trouble you get into. *Provided* that you are smart, careful, and have
earned our trust. Don't let this fate happen to you. You see O'Neills hand, but his
head was sent to Starfleet as a warning to back off. His body was sent to his crew to
make sure that they did not break with us or forget about their loyality to the
organization.
Now, with a renewed sense of duty and obligation, what do you have to tell me.
Thug1: Arms shipments to the police actions are on schedule, although we have had a
large increase in price. It has become a bit harder to rn the blocades and patrols.
We need some relief.
Rivik: I think that our friend Zorin will be able to help out there. What else?
Thug2: The sabotage teams are working well, now that they are fully intrigated into
the rebel factions. It took time to get them fully integrated, but they are now
running as planed.
Rivik: They are only in two of the police actions, can we move on to the others?
Thug2: I will need more time. Training these people is not easy, and getting them
into the inner circle of the rebel factions is even harder. We have to get them in
the rebel factions to prove their worth and to earn their way to a leadership role.
During that process they stir up the resentment, fanning the flames of dissent if you
will. They have counterparts in the government who help play off each other, planning
raids and the like........
Joe comments to K'Tael, "Looks like these buggers are part of the problem in the
police actions. Stirring up trouble. They are drounding out the peace makers, only
making things worse. This is truely good information."
{response}
They go back to the recordings...
Rivik: Will they be ready to and able to calm things down once we are in position to
control the planet? That is key to our plan to disstabilize the Federation enough for
us to take over.
THug2: They should be. However, they will need more time for that. Say 6 to 9 months
at least. The other police actions will take longer.
Rivik: Keep me informed. These police actions are the best thing to happen to us.
Uglara: You started them. The police actions....
Rivik: Not all of them. Some were going to happen whether or not we became involved.
We just sped things up a bit. Others we just positioned ourselves at the right place
at the right time.
Thug1: What make great people great from the rest of the average folk is taking full
advantage of every opertunity. What makes the top 1% of the great people is not only
making the most out of every oppertunity, but by creating oppertunity where none
existed.
Laughter ensues the room..
Moments later, Starfleet arrives...
