 Aaron says he’s heard rumors of this individual but has never met him. Kimball says the name has come up semi-frequently in reports about the Syndicate, but nothing else. Bjornson explains that this Marat’teer is the closest thing SI has seen to an Orion nationalist, and his men were behind the attack on the //Wyoming// at the beginning of the year. Bjornson also adds that the Orion Syndicate is heavily invested in illegal salvage of wrecked ships. Aaron asks Admiral Shafiq point-blank, “Do you plan on stepping up dedicated patrols to stop the Orions?” The admiral shakes her head and replies, “Not yet, not until things settle down for a bit. My ideal is to have the //Boston// and the //Sacramento// as flexible out-runners while the //Phoenix// and the //Philippa Georgiou// act as the muscle. But all that depends on whatever the new normal is post-Wolf 359.” Aaron nods in understanding, and Admiral Shafiq continues, “However, once the //Boston// is repaired, I will be sending you to survey the Argolis Cluster on Monday. We need to know what’s in there.” Aaron says he’s heard rumors of this individual but has never met him.

-The admiral then taps a button to raise a privacy screen and another button to stop the official recording. She then leans forward and says softly, “And unofficially, I want you to look for a suitable colony for the Bajoran refugees.” Aaron nods once again, understanding the implications of the covert order, and replies, “We’ll see what’s out there.” Admiral Shafiq smiles and resumes recording. Aaron then describes the technical findings on LV-397 and their encounter with [[trek:characters:haran|Harold the Romulan]]. Admiral Shafiq openly boggles at the description of Harold, while Bjornson remains opaque. +The admiral then taps a button to raise a privacy screen and another button to stop the official recording.

 Aaron shares his belief that “Harold” is a wild card not working for the Romulan Star Empire, and one with a moral code, albeit a warped one. He doesn’t believe Harold is an adversary, but he admits, “He has control over a network of gateways throughout the galaxy.” He finishes with his science department attempting to collect DNA samples from the Romulan ale. Bjornson asks for everything they find to be forwarded, and then asks, “Did you want to keep the ale?” Admiral Shafiq gives him some serious side-eye, but he shrugs and retorts, “I think they’ve earned it.” The admiral frowns but doesn’t object. Aaron adds, “And finally, I recommend a warning about these devices sent out as ‘captain’s eyes only’ regarding their potential for devastation to subspace in the event of a cascade failure.” Both the admiral and the lieutenant commander nod in agreement. Aaron shares his belief that “Harold” is a wild card not working for the Romulan Star Empire, and one with a moral code, albeit a warped one.
