"I am not sure," responded Chase as he joined her.  "We can't wait here 
forever, though.  That would look a little suspicious.  I could take 
you to the Marriott or we could do some breakfast before you settle in. 
 It is up to you.  I can bring you up to date either way."

Sarah had no preference so she turned to the newbie to see what he 
preferred.

Etienne had followed the conversation to date and was a bit concerned 
about how everything seemed to be up in the air relating to this Jaime 
person.  This was an important mission.  "I think I could go for a bit 
of breakfast.  It would give us a chance to get more exposure to the 
station."
 
Chase definitely preferred that option, though he could always have 
grabbed something from the replicator in their room if he had wanted.  
"Sounds good to me.  I did not get a chance to grab some before meeting 
you here."
 
"Should we leave some sort of message for Jaime as to where she can 
find us?" asked Etienne with concern.
 
Chase considered that for a moment.  It sounded like a good idea, 
but he was not sure where they would leave the message.  "The best 
thing we could do is stop by the hotel and leave one for her at the 
main desk.  I am not sure where she is."

That sounds perfect.  The trio made their way over to the hotel that 
Jaime was staying at and left a message before going to a diner that 
Chase had heard about.  The message said where they were going for 
breakfast and to join them when she could.  The diner was mostly set up 
for the engineers and support crew that serviced the vessels docking at 
the station.  As a result, it was a bit rowdy and more likely to keep 
their conversation secret.
  
They were seated in a small booth to the side and the waitress went off 
to get their breakfast drinks.  Sarah and Etienne turned to Chase to 
start the briefing.
  
"I am not sure how much you know about our assignment up here, but 
Jaime and I are supposed to be meeting with and interviewing the 
various members of the Council to see if we can get a better 
understanding of them and of how they want to influence Earth. I spoke 
with the Klingons yesterday, and Jaime spoke with the Bajorans the day 
before.  She was supposed to have met with the Aqualish yesterday, but 
I am not sure how that turned out since I have not had a chance to 
speak with her.  She sorta missed our meeting yesterday afternoon for 
lunch."  It was clear tha tthere was concern in his voice about the 
developments surrpounding Jaime.
