Jared turned back to Abrams.  "I am sorry, Commander.  I did  not mean to
make it seem like we were attacking you  personally. My  team and I are here
to investigate what happened to Captain Boulay and  others like him. I was
hoping that you could help us a little with  pulling together the paperwork
that has been filed in such incidents."

"I will do what I can, sir, to help."

"Has  there been any rumors of such incidents in areas where Starfleet has
no presence?"

"That's hard to say.  As I said earlier we don't  track complaints against
the PDF.  Although, it does stand to reason  that they would have some.
That said, I can't speculate as to what complaints  they would have."

David sat and listened....sure...if they didn't  "officially" track them 
they
wouldn't have to act on them.

Jared smiled.  "Commander, you misunderstand me.  I asked if there has been
any *rumors* of such incidents.  These would not necessarily be on the
record."

"Sir, we don't deal in rumors.  S-O-P is to deal in facts, what we know.  I 
can't speculate what incidents of abuse the PDF may be accused of."  Abrams 
was not trying to be difficult.  He was under orders from Van Der Loo to 
deal with documented facts only when it came to their guests.  All the LCDR 
could do is hope that Admiral Jackson would pick up on the subtlty.

Joanna could sense the stress level rising in the room.  It was clear to her 
that there was more to what Abrams was saying.  He was hinting at something 
more.  "Who would be a good person to talk to about these rumors.  As you 
can imagine, any investigation involves checking such things for possible 
leads."

"No one here at district.  I would imagine you would be able to find someone 
planet side with that information.  Most likely someone that receives and 
registers complaints.  They would be able to answer your question."
