Subject : Attack on Kith Ghemor

From : Ambassador Joy Two

To : Cardassia Foreign Ministry

 

 

Kith Ghemor was severely injured by a knife wielding attacker in the public spaces of Sky Harbor Aegis. He is in stable condition, and is expected to fully recover. The attacker committed suicide when capture was imminent, attempting to leave the station.

 

The attacker was Cardassian by race. His final words were ”For the Order!” I cannot say if this was an attempt to rally support for or draw trouble to the Order.

 

To my knowledge, the Kith neither sought out or was given special security protection, though such protection was assigned unsolicited by Starfleet to the Federation and Ferengi diplomats on station. There is currently a guard on our sickbay. Further security concerns must be addressed.

 

I am concerned that the place chosen for the attack, the Kyth had just visited the Aegis control tower, was chosen to disrupt cooperation between our nations. I am concerned that it echoes a prior incident which built up to direct action against both of us. The Federation is eager to identify positively the source and motives for the attack, and is willing to share information.

 

My condolences. Feel free to contact me with questions.

While I have no desire to interfere with rest and recovery, when Kith Ghemor is truly ready to receive visitors, I would appreciate being informed.

Subject : Diplomatic Security Hand Over

From : Ambassador Joy Two

To : LtCdr Shepard

CC : Captain Muon

 

I understand from Alyce 144 that the she and her sisters have completed the diplomatic security refresher course, and are ready to assume responsibility for my protection. I suspect you will be busy enough to require all available personnel. Thus, I would as soon transfer responsibility as soon as possible.

 

I have informed the Cardassian foreign ministry of the attack on Kith Ghemor, and informed them of the ‘For the Order!’ quote. I anticipate questions and likely investigators from Cardassia. If I am to maintain good relations with Cardassia, I would like to be kept informed of significant developments in the case. I will attempt to keep the bureaucrats out of your investigation, but suspect they will eventually and firmly offer a trained and knowledgeable security person. If you have an opinion on how such an offer should be handled, I am very open to hear it.

 

Thank You

Ambassador Joy Two

Subject : Requirements Inflation

From : Ambassador Joy Two

To : LtJg Coleridge

 

Has anyone added new requirements to the diplomatic wing yet today? Lest another day go by without your life being made more complicated...

 

In prior alert situations, the diplomats have been asked to report to shelter areas, which resulted in their being unable to communicate. Would it be possible to select a few shelter areas closest to the diplomatic area, and equip them with basic communications consoles? This capability need not be elaborate, and indeed should not take significant space, but this might relieve tensions somewhat.

 

If this is a problem, please contact me.

 

Thank You

Ambassador Joy Two
