I’m giving you 24 hours to get to the bottom of this before I escalate the situation.”
“Regarding Ambassador Weisbrantz,” Her face soured even further. “I’ve done some research. The Diplomatic Corps is opting to recall him in lieu of a formal investigation, related to his suspected link to the local crime families. I wouldn’t put it past him to be involved with Gebrezghi’s disappearance. Be prudent, Commander. This isn’t only about one minor planet. Our adversaries, including the Cardassians, will be watching this situation very closely.”
The commodore cut the feed abruptly, leaving Velaul accompanied only by the cold glow of the ready room’s screen.
