Aejier tr’Kaeolix smiled widely and closed the panel he’d been working on. He’d thought he would never get the task finished, but fortunately with everyone either on leave, or apparently on some sort of training mission, he was free to make the small adjustments to the transporter systems without interruption. Panel closed, he walked over to the maintenance log and ran a script to remove the log file the would show he’d been working on the transporter systems.

 

Pausing, he considered for a moment that he might need more than just plausible deniablity if the device he’d installed had been discovered -- but who to pin this on. There was the incompetent Daise’Engineer -- but na io would believe he was involved. What about that t’Ditsy creature? Na. Even less likely. Na io would think she would be behind something like this.

 

Stroking his chin for a moment, he mentally ran through the personnel he’d been briefed upon in the dossier for the Talon crew before deciding on a whelp without any familial connections and inserting his name into the maintenance log. There, that would give him a scape goat if he needed it. Of course he didn’t plan on needing it, but au never know.

 

Content that he had completed his objective and that he had sufficiently assured that he would na be fingered for placing the small device in the transporter room, he headed out and towards his quarters. H’nah onto io more thing that needed to be done.

 

Entering the quarters he shared with another engineering officer, he was rather pleased that his bunkmate had taken off for the weekend and that he had the place to himself. He headed first for the communications terminal that was situated between the two beds in the small state room and typed in an authorization code that would na leave traces of any such communication being made. After a few moments, the rotating t’Liss disappeared and was replace by the ominous symbol of the Tal’Shiar -- the profile view of another t’Liss.

 

“Etre tr’Kaeolix,” a woman’s voice came. “I take it that au have installed the new components, rhae the Talon’s transporters?”

 

“Ie, rehhkai. They should be fully functional, h’nah.”

 

“Excellent,” she said. “Mehnka work. H’nah, I have two more tasks for au to complete.”

 

“Two?”

 

“Ie. First, I am uploading a datapacket of information. In it au will find reports filled rhae a member of the Talon’s crew who was formerly in our employ. Take it to the Enarrain and tell him au found it going through old logs for maintenance reports.”

 

“Should I na take it to this tr’Pexil first. He is my ‘superior officer.’”

 

The woman on the screen tipped her head, considering. “Na. If the Enarrain asks why au subverted the chain of command, tell him au did na think Pexil could be trusted, given how easily au were able to find this communications logs.”

 

“As au wish.”

 

“Mehnka.”

 

“Au said au had two things for me?”

 

“Ie...”
