No, I dinna trust him. It was a threat pure and simple. He’s confident that those in involved in this mess can crush us like bugs. He especially didna like you.

Clifton: Hmm, well I can't ever remember anyone called LBJ.  I wonder how he knows me?

Gavin: So what did you find out?

Clifton: I found out that Rayder really did get orders to give Silva what she wanted and let her leave.  I'm not sure why, or what's going on here, but there's definitely something very strange going on here. Unfortunately the only person that can access top secret orders like that is a hacker that I hired, I doubt I can really trust her though.

Gavin: D’Ye remember my assistant, Delia? She’s the impatient, nosey El Aurian. :Gavin smiled as he shook his head:: That lass is nae like the patient people she comes from. She does like to listen but doesna have the patience to do it. As a result, she is a world class hacker. I dinna even want to know how she gets the information she does. If there is a whisper anywhere in the galaxy, she’s in on it. She kens things before I get the official notifications. We probably should use her. My only hesitation is that she’s verra young and I dinna want her hurt. Of course, she’d laugh at that. She’s 100 years old, just a kid for an El-Aurian, but still…

Clifton: Yeah, I haven't thought about her in a while.  I'm sure she is a lot more trustworthy than the black hat hacker that I engaged.

Gavin: It’s clear this goes higher than just Silva and your friend. He’s in on it somehow if only that he’s too scared to do his job, but those documents she had were verra dangerous. Someone is selling out the Federation, and we need to know who, why and what their goal is.

Clifton: Agreed.  Tell Delia to contact me via a secure channel, I have some civilian accommodations here on the station.  Do you have any immediate plan for what you can do to learn any more?

Tag: Gavin

Clifton:  Something else, while you're here check out things with any of your diplomat friends.  See if any of them have noticed anything odd before we got here.

Tag: Gavin

Clifton:  I mean, who knows?  Maybe we just stumbled into this, maybe hinky things have been going on for longer than we realize.

 Gavin: Hold on. 

::He quickly used a secure code on his communicator to contact his assistant and addressed her in a low tone.:

Gavin:  Delia, Commander Clifton and I are in need of your.. special talents. He'll be contacting you shortlyl

Delia: smiling at the very thought: What's up, Boss?

Gavin; grinning: Ye mean ye dinna already know? Ye must be slippping. I'm not in a place to explain right now, but he'll be in touch soonl

Delia: Okay, but I bet it has something to do with that Senator Silva.

: Gavin looked at Clifton as if to say, I sat I told  you so::
GAVIN: I ken how little patience ye have, Delia, so I promise he'll contact you verra soon. ::He broke off communication  and said to Clifton:: I didna give her your secure information. It will giver her something to do until ye call unless she has it already..

Clifton:  Something else, while you're here check out things with any of your diplomat friends.  See if any of them have noticed anything odd before we got here.

 Gavin: Aye, I did a wee bit of that and will do more, But I ddi find out that there are. a growing number of people who dinna trust your friend. We'll have to keep an eye on him. I dinna ken if we'll find anything more but I get the impression this is nay a single incident.

Clifton:  I mean, who knows?  Maybe we just stumbled into this, maybe hinky things have been going on for longer than we realize.

 Gavin: I suspect so, They know too much. They're too sure of themselves too. We did stumble on this but it took so little. this tells me they are secure that even if normal measures are taken, they willna be any follow through. That takes a long chain of command. Ye need to find out why your friend was so eager to be compliant. It sounds as if ye expected better of him. So why did a man like that turn?

Clifton?
Gavin: Okay, here is how ye contact Delia. I have a secure room here. I'll take ye there and then you can talk with her. I'll go take a walk around and see if I can find out something else.
