T'Kang watched as Captain Mec stood and grumbled about 
the missing Doctor on the station.  Mec wanted answers and 
he wanted them now.  The Federation Officer even made it 
clear that he viewed D'Alaan station as being his station, 
even though it was light years away from the Federation on 
the edge of the Klingon Empire, deep in Klingon space.  
Mec's posturing made the Klingon laugh, though he didn't let 
the inner humor of his thoughts filter out through his scowling 
warrior's ridges.  T'Kang was just glad the meeting had 
finally begun after waiting for what seemed like days. . .

When Mec sat back down, T'Kang didn't hesitate to give his 
report.  The few, sleepy eyed Federation officers around the 
table, none of whom T'Kang had even been introduced to 
yet, hesitated guessing who would be the first to speak.  The 
Klingon warrior put that uncertainty to rest almost 
immediately when he stood up.

"Hod Aram and the Imperial Klingon Vessel Jachyoj will be 
arriving early tomorrow morning.  The bird of prey brings 
much needed supplies and a full compliment of Klingon 
warriors to staff the barracks on level red nine. Tumek, 
Roshka and Reshtarc have straightened up that deck in 
preparation to receive the supplies and personnel the 
Jachyoj brings with her.  I have given them the rest of the 
evening off to relax on deck Blue 99."  T'Kang explained in 
his deep, no nonsense voice.

"I have spoken to General Pi'ror, who apologizes for the 
sudden change and delay of the Jachyoj.  HoD K'sara was 
unavoidably delayed with business elsewhere and had to be 
replaced as commander of that vessel."  the warrior 
explained.  T'Kang chose to keep to himself who Aram was, 
the illegitimate son of the traitor Duras.  With the 
disappearances around the station and Kruge's mysterious 
death, there was no sense in shaking things up further by 
announcing Aram was the son of an admitted Romulan 
conspirator.

"Other than that, there is no further news to report. . ."  
T'Kang stated looking at Captain Mec with a suspicious eye, 
"Other than Ra'wI' Kruge's murderer is still unknown as is the 
cause of death and what poison was used to kill him. . ."

T'Kang then sat back down and yielded the meeting to the 
next Federation officer that had the courage to speak.
