<OCC: You may want to expand this window>

<Still within his dark and hidden office, Tnega is seen by his underlings as a pillar of strength that at this one time seems to be weakening a bit.>  

The data PADD flies across the room hitting Lieutenant Allirog in the back of the head as he is trying to escape the uncontrolled wrath of Commander Tnega.

"Who in hell authorized the transfer of Lieutenant Straylar to the Lafayette?"

"We assumed it came from you sir, as it was signed with your command code" One of the Ensigns spoke up while standing at attention.

"YOU ASSUMED ENSIGN?"

The poor Ensign remained silent as good judgement fell upon him.

"I want you three to find out who this other person is that thinks they can pull strings in Intel and get away with it!"  Tnega points to the lower ranking officers.

"Now out of here all of you."

Tnega returns to his tall chair to brood over the turn of events. Moments later Tnega has a flash of inspiration and reaches over to the comm button on his desk.

"Finch, get in here now."

Ensign Finch cautiously enters Tnega's office.

"Yes sir?"

"Finch I want you to send another message to Mortimer.  I want to use this Strayler transfer to our advantage."

"At once sir."

Now we have "local" eyes and ears.  Keep thinking about your brother Max and I'm sure you'll cooperate.
