Kit cross-referenced what Garibaldi had told her with her own archives, the
information she had gathered in her secure files.
According to Kit's personal database, what LCDR Joseph Garibaldi told her
checked out. Of course there was some information in her database that the
LCDR did not mention. Probably because it was more background info in nature...
Kettering was at the academy when Lasiter was. Only Kettering was a senior
as Samuel Lasiter was a plebe (freshman), and the two had a long history of
competition while at the academy and on their early assignments- Ensign Samuel
Lasiter was assigned to the same starship that Lt jg Kettering was. This
rivalry was described by one on looker as the talented, self assured, rather
arrogant, win at all costs, power junkie aka Kettering versus the equally
talented, self assured, team focused, thrill junkie aka Samuel Lasiter. The
important side note was that Kettering, as a then LCDR, served on Bajor where
he met an ex Fleeter turned governmental bureaucrat. The pencil pusher would
later become the current Bajoran Ambassador to the Federation. Kettering would
later owe his promotion to Vice Admiral to an influential Federation official,
who (you guested it) was the ex fleeter. As the Ambassador from Bajor, he
personally advocated the selection of Vice Admiral Kyle Kettering to the post
of Commander, 9th Fleet with a promotion to Admiral. So, Kettering was quite
possibly indebted to the Bajoran...
Additional research into some of what the young Gariabldi had mentioned
about the elder Garibaldi came up interesting as well. It appeared as if there
were records of all transfers of materials. All perfectly in order. The
exception being that there was nothing to be found about the the materials ever
being received. The rules were followed to the letter, except for the last
part of the process. Receiving. The number of mid transit transfers from one
vessel to another. From one cargo holding area to another, only served to
complicate the paper trail. At face value it appeared that Marcus Garibaldi
was using the general apathy that existed in Starfleet to cover his tracks.
That if he could make the trail complicated enough, sooner or later anyone
interested in following up would just give up. It had worked up until now.
However, that was not the strangest part. That could be summed up in just two
simple questions... 'Just why would someone that has the ability and know how
to hide records and cover his trail leave such an obvious paper trail? Was it
carelessness or was it cunning?'
