A moment later, came an officer with a fair sized box.  The box was metal, an alloy of 
some kind, and it was stamped with the Starfleet Command insignia.  Very official 
looking.

  "Admiral Kitanya, I am Commander Roeder.  Should you have any questions regarding 
the contents of this package, I will be available to address them.  Day or night.  If 
you will sign here, indicating that you did in fact recieve the package."

The PADD indicated that Admiral Lasiter was the 'sender', and that she was the 
recipiant.  The contents was listed as 'Materials for Review.'

She signed dutifully.  "Thank you, Commanderrr," she replied, taking the box.  "I'll 
give you a call if I need to."

  "Yes, sir.  Good day, sir." answered the Commander.

She took the box back to her office.  "Narrraht, hold my calls and don't let anyone in 
forrr a half-hourrr orrr so."

"Aye, Admiral," repled the Horta, curious as all get out, but knowing when not to pry.

She took the box inside her office and locked the door, wondering if this was a gag 
and she'd end up with a purple face upon opening it.  But she sat down and opened the 
metal box and looked inside.

The first thing she saw was a PADD.  Upon examining it she found several files on it.  
The first being a letter from Lasiter explaining the box and it's contents.

Kitanya,
   I wanted to do something for you to show how much I appreciate your trust, 
loyality, and service to me since coming to Starfleet Command.  While we have not 
always seen eye to eye on matters, your opinions carry great weight.  So here is the 
token.

  On this PADD you will find transfer orders for a few admin folks.  I have taken the 
liberty to select a dependable budget analyst and a great auditor.  I am sure that you 
know what to do with them.  All you need do is have your aide file those orders with 
personnel and they will be yours.  Their service records are included for your review. 
 

I have also had "copies" made of all of your mate's logs while he was on tempory 
assignment.  There was not much that you don't already have, but I thought that you 
deserved to have it all.  Intell was able to recover some debirs form the facility 
where Admiral M'Rrenn had been working.  One of the things recovered was his foot 
locker.  I could not spring the foot locker, due to radiation exposure.  However, the 
locker shielded it's contents, and the holos, robe, uniform, and a book or two that 
were in there are yours.  I hope this helps.

The last bits are in the PADDs that are banded together.  They contain both a summary 
and a detailed accounting of the 'secret' investigation that Starfleet is engaged in.  
I promised that you would be kept in the loop, and here it is.  It is still on going, 
but much has been found.

As I said earlier, please keep this quiet.  It is not yet time to let this cat out of 
the bag.  But it soon will be.

Many thanks.

SL
