Ah Increase. What a pleasant surprise. I am glad to see hear from you again.....'

Life on DS9 has really been different in the past year. So much has changed since the end of the war. We just had a big event here last week. Members of the Detapa Council from the Cardassian Union were just on the station. They were signing a official treaty with the Federation which will allow more aid workers to move in to the Cardassian Union to help them rebuild. I was on Cardassian Prime last month. Increase I can never get over the level of devastation the Union suffered at the hands of the Dominion and their Breen allies. I had lunch with Elim Garak, a senior member of the Detapa Council now. He told me that he was concerned about militants within the Union. I had heard rumors of these militants but nothing was ever confirmed. While Starfleet has dozens of ships in the area as well as what the Detapa Council controls there is still fears. Garak informed me that each month, a number of ships failed to report back to the Council. Fears are that they are defecting to the militants.

A rematch at chess? You know, you will loss again. After all, you have yet to beat me. However if you desire, I will gladly show you a round or two.

Oh I know who they are. The MacConnell sisters. The older woman's name is Maura and the smaller, younger one was Seona. It was reported that they are both dead. But we got a Flash Alert from Starfleet Command to keep an eye out for Seona MacConnell. Something about her being a terrorist. Though I can't imagine that being the case. While Seona was a Starfleet Marine, I don't think she ever enjoyed taking life. Smart girl *he laughed* unlike you, she would give me a challenge at Chess. Her sister on the other hand. Maura, I could never beat her.

Colonel Kira Nerys is not taking any chances with this issue. They are searching all ships, coming and going for Seona. Can you tell me what all of this is about?
