Lieutenant Himperman Vall sat in his chair at the desk of the 
Chief of Security for Station D'Alaan 27.   T'Kang stood 
across the desk still brooding over the recent poisoning 
murder of Ra'wI' Kruge.

"Please T'Kang, have a seat."  Vall asked while bringing his 
computer terminal on-line.

Reluctantly, with a disapproving grunt, the Klingon sat down.  
Even seated T'Kang made an impressive presence.  His 
large frame barely fit in the standard issue Federation chair 
the Chief of Security had chosen as furniture in his new 
office on the station.

"It would be helpful to know what exactly we are searching 
for T'Kang.   Did Kruge have any enemies or did anyone 
threaten him recently that might have done this?"  Vall 
asked.

T'Kang shifted uncomfortable in the tiny chair.  "The Ra'wI' 
hadn't mentioned any threats.  I had only just met Kruge 
when I arrived at the Station a few hours ago.  However he 
didn't seemed overly concerned with his safety."

Vall nodded.  "If Kruge was indeed poisoned like you say, it 
would seem unlikely that a fellow Klingon would have 
murdered him in that way.  From what I understand of 
Klingons that is."

T'Kang nodded.  "Poison is a coward's weapon.  A Warrior 
would not use such a thing to eliminate an enemy of their 
house.  However, not all Klingon's have honor Lieutenant.  
We can not dismiss the possibility out of hand."

"Well, hopefully when the medical and science teams isolate 
what poison was used, assuming there was a toxin involved, 
hopefully that will gleam us some new information to go on."  
Vall explained, then glanced at the newly refreshed 
computer screen.  "Ah, here we go.  A full manifest of the 
officers, warriors and civilians presently on board D'Alaan 
station."

T'Kang nodded while watching the Chief of Security gather a 
Federation data padd and download the list.

"Obviously until we know more about the poison, what type 
was used, how quickly it acts, etceteras, we will be unable to 
question the people on the station about their whereabouts 
to establish alibis."  Lieutenant Vall explained.

"Once again, we are at the mercy of others in the medical 
and science departments. . ."  T'Kang cursed under his 
breath.

"Not to worry T'Kang.  Lieutenant Commander Sevet and 
Doctor Wimberly are excellent Starfleet officers.  If anyone 
can discover what happened to Kruge and isolate the toxin 
used, they can."

T'Kang took the data padd from the Chief of Security and 
frowned skeptically.  "We shall see.  So far I have not been 
very impressed Lieutenant."

"Well, in the mean time, with Ra'wI' Kruge's death, you are 
now the senior Klingon on board the station T'Kang.  I 
believe the Jachyoj has been delayed at Praxis while HoD 
K'sara takes care of a few details there.  You may wish to 
contact the Empire to get a progress report on when the Bird 
of Prey will be arriving."  Vall commented.

T'Kang nodded.  "Yes, I must also report the death of Ra'wI' 
Kruge.  It will no doubt come as a surprise to the council."

Himperman stood and offered his hand to T'Kang.  "Well, I'm 
sure that together we will be able to get to the bottom of who 
has done this, and why, T'Kang."

Taking the Chief's hand, T'Kang shook it.  "Keep me 
informed of what the Doctors and scientists discover.  In the 
mean time I will inform the Empire of what has happened, 
and see what I can learn about Kruge's background.  That 
may help us narrow down who would most benefit from his 
death."

"Very good T'Kang.  Qapla!"  Vall stated.

T'Kang nodded.  "Qapla!"  he then turned and exited the 
Chief of Security's office on Gray level 1.
