"Commander, I have a question for you. Have you noticed any increased
traffic in the area? It seems if that facility has been using that transit point for some time, you should be starting to see more ships in the area." A look of intense thought came over McTiernan as he considered Holt's question. "Now that you mention it, things have been busier than usual out here. Not significantly different, but enough for us to notice." The Security officer considered his response. She had to wonder why system security was not informed, particularly considering the recent attacks on the station and on Earth itself. This could be a break in the case. "What types of vessels are they? Cargo ships? Shuttles?" "They were mostly civilian ships. That was what was a little weird about them. We do see civilian cruise and travel vessels, but we generally do not see these smaller type vessels. Even the cargo vessels were not registered with regular shipping companies." "Why did no one on Kerry report this to anyone?" asked Aravis with concern. "Was your facility not affected by the security crack down that came about as a result of recent terrorist attacks?" McTiernan could understand why she would ask the questions she was asking. At the same time, she did not fully understand the nature of Station Kerry. "My facility is a part of Starfleet, but it more reflects the environment of a civilian research facility. Our security staff is extremely limited. In fact, we only have three officers, one for each shift. We are stationed within the Sol System and are a small research facility. We do not have the ability to police the area, particularly with Jupiter Station so close. If we were, do you think we would have needed to ask your assistance with recent events?" (Aravis?)
