Re: Executive Officer Sky Harbor Aegis

 

Captain,

Commander Chirakis will be delivering this message in person. The reason will become clear by the time you've finished reading.

 

First, Commander Chirakis will be your interim Executive Officer until a permanent one can be assigned. She haS no prior knowledge of this assignment and may not take the news very well but she is a Starfleet Officer and will do her duty. You are probably wondering why I chose Chirakis. The decision was two-fold. Number one, you two know each other and have a history. You'll need that considering where Aegis will be relocating too. Second, her expertise in intel will serve you very well in the Portas System. Yes, I said the Portas System in Breen Space.

 

For the last year very strange reports and readings have been coming from Breen space. I have attached all the information we have so far. It's not very much but what we have is not good. Please have your people review the data as soon as possible and then report to me any findings via secure channels only. I fear this is bad, very bad. We have sent several vessels into Breen Space to investigate but have lost all contact with them. I have several ships on the outskirts of Breen space but I am not sending anymore in until we know what's going on. As you know, with budget cuts the way they are, things are tight all over and I do not have a whole lot of ships to commit to this. With the Cardassians being restless to be on their own, Aegis became a perfect vehicle to investigate the Breen.

 

The President is in talks with the Grand Nagus of Feringinarr but as you know, the talks are slow as we have to be very careful with what we say to the Grand Nagus. I urge you to urge your diplomatic staff to meet with the Ferengi representative on Aegis as well. That way we're "coming at them from both sides" as the humans say. This must be done within the next week as the crisis in Breen space is getting worse. Kidnap him, throw him off the station, put him on Cardassia, I don't care. We must get the station moved to Breen. Not only do the Cardassians want this, but we must know what's going on in Breen Space.

 

Sincerely,

Adm Johansen
