t'Llhweiir activated a switch on her padd. It began emitting a subsonic
random series of tones designed to play havoc with listening devices. She
was sure that the security staff would have swept the room, but she was
taking no chances.
Smallwood took his queue from the Intell Chief that is was ok for him to
proceed.
"Let's get right down to business. I think that it's safe to assume that
we all know that things did not go as smoothly as we would have prefered.
The important thing at the moment is that the prisoner was moved without
loss of life of any Starfleet personnel, and we now have a brig full of
Pergrine class shuttle pilots to interrogate and prosecute. All of you
should be proud of the work that you've done. The success of the mission
would not have been possible if it were not for your skill and
determination. That said, what did we learn from this mission? Commander
K'Tael let's
start with you."
Ariel was not sure that they should be proud of the fact that they completed
a mission with no one getting killed, but that did make it clear how
tentative things involved in this situation are.
K'Tael looked over the other officers before beginning. "There can be no
question that there is some sort of leak in relation to the Brotherhood,
Admiral. Strict measures were made to make sure that information about the
mission was handed out on a need-to-know basis. Even with these measures,
my team was attacked almost immediately upon our runabout clearing the orbit
of Mars. It was only with the help of the Centurian and their fellow ships
that we were able to get clear."
(reactions?)
"The Brotherhood clearly knew that we were going to have a starship in the
area. They sent their own small starship to try and take on the Centurian.
We were fortunate that Captain Fitzgerald and his crew were on their toes.
They were able to beam my entire team onto their ship before the prisoner
was taken or any serious injury was done to anyone."
(reactions?)
"I did have some concerns about our inability to get additional aid once we
were under attack. At that point, our cover was blown so the need to take
such precautions was past. I would like to know why my request was denied.
Doing so endangered my team and the mission." The Klingon zeroed in on
Admiral Smallwood as he completed his statement. It was clear that he did
not trust the man after that decision.
