Digging for Dirt

[Rhean t'Valae 0]

Rhean paced her quarters anxiously. She'd had little time recently to consider the implications of the information she'd stumbled upon in her last quiet moments, but now, with the ship at rest after the battle, she was able to give it due thought. And that thought kept tending to one frightening conclusion: that their new first officer was a criminal at best and a traitor at worst.

 

How had she gotten to this point? In a moment of peace, her curiosity had gotten the better of her (truth be known, it often did), and she had programmed the computer for a thorough search on one Destorie tr'NDak and House s'NDak. She'd always been proud of her computer searches; she had a knack for making the machine cough up data others would never discover. On this occassion, it produced results beyond her wildest imaginings.

 

Not that it was all that much data, really. A short news clip of a trial during the Dominion War, that was all. At least, that was all she had seen. There should be more, based on the content of that clip; if there wasn't, someone would have had to purge it. There was a disturbing thought indeed.

 

Enough of this, she thought, abruptly stopping her pacing. Running over it in circles would accomplish nothing. What she needed was more information -- as much information as she could get.

 

Fortunately, Rhean was very, very good at gathering information.
