After being awakened by much earlier, Tarrant had | |||
spent the remaining time on the Feynman bridge running basic | |||
engineering checks. But his mind wasn't there... it | |||
was making leaps and bounds trying to connect all the pieces. | |||
Then he abandoned the hum drum and dove into it all. | |||
Finally a picture started to come into focus, and it greatly | |||
disturbed the CEO. Granted, it had little rooting in fact, but | |||
it was plausible. | |||
"Koreth to Captain Zane" | |||
<Zane here, what is it Lieutenant> | |||
"I have something I'd like to discuss with you | |||
Captain..." he thaught about it for a moment | |||
then added, "in private." | |||
Inqusitively Zane replied <OK. Meet me in my ready room in | |||
fifteen minutes. Zane out.> | |||
...................15 minutes later<br> | |||
Scene: Capt's Ready Room<br> | |||
"Well Mr. Koreth, what seems to be the problem." | |||
asked Zane settling into his chair. | |||
"Sir, off the record, I've done some checking and I | |||
think I may have come across something rather disturbing." | |||
"Continue, Lieutenant." | |||
"I called in some favors from others who were at the | |||
academy with me in security. " he paused, "Six months ago all of the | |||
Federations medical samples of this Plague were stolen...." | |||
Zane quickly interrupted, "How accurate is this information | |||
Lieutenant?" | |||
"My information is sketchy, granted. But I did some | |||
further checking in more common areas. Right after the supposed | |||
theft, all of the doctors and scientists working at the three | |||
facilities were taken into custody. That *is* documented. | |||
They were later released." | |||
A grave expression overtook the Captain as he rose from his | |||
chair. It was coming into place. | |||
Tarrant continued. "I believe that this may have been planned | |||
by the Cardassians all along sir. This is hypothetical, but say that | |||
the Cardassians were unable, on their own, to come up with | |||
a cure. So they stage this. | |||
Now here we are on the Feynman, with one of the top | |||
medical scientists coming up with a cure. It must be hush hush, | |||
so Starfleet keeps it under wraps. | |||
Now though we are seriously outgunned. If we do come up with | |||
a cure, then the Cardassians have it. They attack and we are | |||
eliminated." | |||
Zane turnes from his view of space, "But, if that is all | |||
true, then why send only us? It dosen't fit." | |||
Now Tarrant fit another piece, "In a way they haven't. I've been | |||
doing some sweeps with the DELPHI. Four more ships have | |||
been diverted to this area of space, and by my checks, | |||
could overtake the Cardassian warships before they could | |||
reach any major location. One of which is a Solar Class. | |||
I think we may just be a pawn in this sir." | |||
NRPG | |||
Your Court Andy. My guess is that even CINCSILVER | |||
wouldn't know about it. <G> | |||
