A few minutes later she raised an eyebrow. "General. penny for your thoughts?" she inquired from the younger officer.

"You probably didn't know but Riggs and I have a quarrel when I worked on DS14... It was Vice Admiral T'Lar who helped me with him... It's kind of gratifying to see him go down in flames... at the same time the prize is too high to be paid... I have lost my whole family during the war and I wouldn't be in Bremer's shoes for anything in the world", Answered Andy

Yamaguchi brushed some of her bangs which had fallen into her face, away from her eyes as she looked at him since they were of equal height, she could comment that she had known much about the senior staff of Starbase 400, or that she could see the darkness in his eyes and the fire in his soul which she could feel almost as a blanket that was oppressively tight around her or that she could see the lines on his face that marked him as a combat veteran but what she said was very little. "I understand... I keep seeing my children in the morgue and I can't get past it..." she sighed. "I want Rigg's head as much as you do."

"Ok next would be...", Said Andy

Torilla exhaled softly and then she inhaled. "Admiral Ross. Let's go see the big cheese himself.." and with that, she turned and began walking down the hallway, within moments she heard his footfalls behind her as she considered what she wanted to say to the man who was one step from being the Fleets Commander in Chief. "You had the first one and I had the second... any ideas?"

"How about we do this one together?", Answered Andy

Yamaguchi nodded and a few moments later, they approached the offices of Admiral Ross.

Torilla mentally counted to five and then she asked the young man behind the desk who was busy admiring her curves and the like, she had raised three children and yes she had nursed them herself, her biggest issue with young men was that sometimes they made their intentions a little too obvious as she sighed. "Ensign?"

"Sorry, Commander... let me check."

Yamaguchi sighed as she suddenly felt an urge to throttle the man, however, that would cause more issues than anything else especially when word of the Ensign's brutal demise got out.

Meanwhile...

T'Lar and Clifford went to Rigg's office, looking for his aide. The gentleman saw them standing there, "Admiral Riggs is not here. How may I help you?"

"Yes, we believe that Admiral Riggs was helping someone in getting revenge on one of our admirals."

"Ah, that explains it. I was wondering why he was acting so nervous. And he was in a hurry. He said something about that son of a bitch and then he said something about just wait until he gets his hands on him. Then he left without a word to me."

"Did you see or hear him say anything about some Intel involving the Romulans?"

"If he did, I didn't see it but it wasn't unusual for him to lock his office door and tell me that he didn't want to be disturbed. He never confided in me about anything either."

"Do you have any idea where he went?"

His aide shook his head, "No idea. I wish I could help you, I do. You are more than welcome to go through his things."

"We will." Deela looked over at Captain Clifford, "Go see if you can find something, anything that might help us."

Andrew entered walked to the doorway and looked around the room. His initial scan highlighted nothing out of the ordinary, so he went in and started systematically searching the office, again nothing. He tapped the screen of the admiral's computer console. It came to life, and oddly it was not locked. Andrew scanned for references to the Romulan border and Admiral Bremer. Several files came to the fore, and Andrew downloaded them to his pad. He walked out of the office.

Deela continued to talk to Riggs' Aide while Clifford looked. She turned to see Captain Clifford walk out of Riggs' office. "Well?"

"There's nothing of interest in the office, Ma'am. However, he has left his computer unlocked, so naturally, I had a look". He smiled at the Admiral. "There are several communications from Section 31, some of them going back two years. One of the recent ones mentions the possible build up along the Romulan border with a request that Admiral Bremer is instructed to investigate".

"He probably left it there knowing someone would find it. According to Ross, it's no secret that Riggs is a known S31 sympathizer even though he isn't a member. He's trying to cover his tracks but it's too late. I hope we can find Riggs. I pity the fool when Bremer gets a hold of him." She shook her head, "Let's get back to the ship and see what everyone has found out."

R'nard was checking the records of the ships, and who was on them, scanning for anything unusual.

As for Jones and Yamaguchi, they had just finished with the interviews and proceed to the Essex, as they beamed up he went straight to the Bridge and spoke to Cdr R'nard

"Commander... I have the conn... Report!...", Said Andy

"Sir... Conducting scans as ordered... Nothing else to report"

"Commander Yamaguchi... I want a report on the inquires we just made... Please have it before the meeting with Admiral T'Lar", Said Andy.

Yamaguchi nodded. "It'll take me a few minutes to go over my notes.." she responded evenly

Andy Looked as Torilla walked out to finish the report and said: "Understood Carry-on!"

Yamaguchi nodded as she turned than she quickly walked off of the bridge.
