SPD: Investigating VanDerLoo

[LunarHunk]

It was about this time that Joe Garibaldi entered K'Tael's office.

? "Good lord, you see the press lately.? They must smell some fresh meat out
there.", he commented looking a bit harried.

The Klingon nodded.� "It would seem the sharks are circling.� I sicced them on the station's press officer.� I was not in the mood to do it, and it is his job."

� "Good thinking."

"I have come across something pretty interesting about Admiral Van Der Loo.� It seems he has some connections with our influential friends, th Bajorans."

"That is an interesting turn of events.� What kind of connections are we talking about?"

"It appears that he was stationed on Bajor for a period when he was a commander.  He was a diplomatic liaison officer while there.  Thanks to his position, he became very close to some powerful Bajorans.  Those same Bajorans are now very influential with the Federation Council.  His meteoric rise in ranks seems to coinside with his connections to his new friends."

"Do you think he is or could be involved with the hand?"

"Well, my sources indicate that VanDerLoo is a bit of a schemer.  He will do anything for power and control.  It does not seem to be overt power he craves, though.  He sounds like he would rather be the power behind the throne, if you get my meaning.  I wouldn't put it past him to be involved with the hand situation, especially considering his Bajoran ties.  The only thing would be whether he had the need or the interest in doing such."
