Lieutenant Cowan had agreed to permit T'Kang board 
Starbase Arcadia to seek out Lieutenant Commander Scott 
Lee, the acting Captain of the USS Tempest.  The Klingon 
would be loathe to admit it, but he was glad Cowan had 
agreed to let him go.  The acting first officer could have 
chosen to be stubborn, and denied the request.  He could 
have insisted that T'Kang return to his quarters as ordered 
after he voiced his concerns over the Tempest's course of 
action recently.  However Cowan likely knew how ugly that 
would get in a real hurry.   No doubt T'Kang would be the 
first Starfleet Officer court marshaled for *refusing* to violate 
his oath to the Confederation.

Exiting the Tempest, T'Kang soon found himself walking the 
expanses of Starbase 202, Arcadia.  The space station 
seemed unusually packed with people from throughout the 
quadrant.  Civilians and Starfleet Officers alike.  The Klingon 
made his way through the corridors of the space station, 
walking with his usual, lumbering stride.

When he came to a central hub of the station, near the 
Arcade, T'Kang stopped at a computer terminal that showed 
the indexed floor plan of this level of the Starbase.  Realizing 
how large the Starbase was, T'Kang made a grumpy frown.

"Computer, show me the location of Lieutenant Commander 
Scott Lee on this map."

The computer promptly responded.  "Lieutenant Commander 
Scott Lee is in corridor H47."

T'Kang's eyes narrowed.  "Show me how to get there from 
my present location on this map." he grumbled.

"Follow the yellow line displayed now." the computer 
responded.

The Klingon bared his teeth as he studied the route the 
Computer had displayed.  Reading locations off the map, he 
glanced around to get his bearing before turning to go find 
his commanding officer.
