>"That is a good question, Admiral. We have found that the reasons for
permitting such activity varry form individual to individual. Some were
paid off with money or promotion, and others appear to be just plain mean.
But to the point of your question, the regional commander appears to have
been bought, both in terms of currency and in black mail. Just what could
be so bad for a Starfleet Admiral to be bribed like that... we think we
have an idea. ", Roeder replied.

Entered the Academy at age 18, and was an average cadet. His service
record is largely unremarkable, holding mostly Starbase posts until he was
a lt. commander. It was at this point that he was assigned to an excort.
There his average career continued, until his ship responded to an
emergency on a frontier colony. The reports are vague, too vague for poor
record keeping. We have reason to believe that something happened there.
Something that could be used as blackmail."
"Do you know what that might be?" asked Kitanya. "Although I must say,
blackmail used to convince people to sell secrrrets orrr look the otherrr
way while the quarrrterrmasterr is selling the sickbay meds on the black
marrrket is one thing. But blackmail serrrious enough to convince a
Starrrfleet admirrral to turrrn a blind eye to the slaughterrr of
thousands? That seems unlikely. Money and blackmail only go so farrr.
The rrreal lurrre forrr big fish like Lanceton is powerrr. The blackmail
may have gotten him involved, but something else is keeping him therrre."
