Act One, Scene Three

[aipsylon]

Prior to arriving at the meeting V'rol would have sent a coded message back to the Thunder child informing them that he would be contacting Capt. Campbell immediately following the Meeting with Gul Bolon with information pertaining to the attacker as well as a full report of inconsistencies and shortfalls thus far in the investigation, including a failure to report a 74.9% match to the captain's DNA in the blood recovered. He would also highlight that any command code to access sensitive data should be immediately changed.

During the meeting, V'rol sat quietly, watching the Gul with a dispassionate blank face, his eyes looking to him and keeping an eye on him for any sign that the man was lying through the encounter. He knew well the typical signals from the time that he had spent serving during the Federation-Cardassian war. Regretting he had never learned Cardassian especially given his background and the nature of the attacker he raised an eyebrow.

"The Federation does not negotiate with Terrorists. There will be no trade of information for the object that you offer, Leniency too is unlikely in the case of the Klingon Empire and I find it unlikely that litigation to refuse extradition will be reopened. However, as per Starfleet regulations you have a right to remain apprised of non sensitive current events and materials to that end must be brought to you. Logically your chances of determining anything further about the events you described is unlikely, however, knowing that we are currently investigating related events you know a few names to watch for in the media and by allowing us to continue forward with related pieces of information there exists a chance that you will see in the news information relating to that which you seek which may prove sufficient for you to deduce the answer to that question."

Having finished speaking he paused, awaiting an answer from the Gul. He glanced to Dr. McCoy, before looking back once more to the Gul.
