((Conference Room Six – USS Narendra))
It was always good to work with colleagues from different backgrounds. Ross had little to no insight to tactical thinking, apart from the Academy basics: He could filter the relevant data, but he stood no chance in analysing it thoroughly. His gorn friend clearly knew what he was talking about.
S'zurak: I have reviewed several reportss originating from the shipping laness near an assteroid belt. The transsportss appear to have limited choicess for routess… Narrow pathss make them predictable targetss.
Their findings displayed a clear preference for the Phaethon Nebula, which had been targeted by the science team already.
Ross: I feel like we have a lot of reports from that area. Did you detect any patterns in the confrontations?
S'zurak: I have taken note that sssome vessels reported communicationss jammed in that corridor. That’s… as far as I’ve gotten.
Ross gave a thoughtful nod.
Ross: Interesting. You think that's a coincidence?
S'zurak: Absolutely not. Before I joined Starfleet - when I operated as a bounty hunter - jamming comms was always the firsst sstep in an ambush. You make them silent, you make them vulnerable.
Ross' eyebrows raised slightly. He remembered some things S'zurak had told them at his first awards party - but he didn't know the Gorn had been actively fighting crime in the past. It made him an even more excellent comrade to be around for this mission.
Ross: Makes sense. Any idea how they accomplish silencing their victims?
S’zurak: It warrantss investigation. I sussspect Orion piratess could be operating from within thosse asteroidss.
He gave another nod.
Ross: It's definitely worth checking out.
S’zurak: I sstill have a hefty backlog of filess. Do you believe we have enough to report on yet?
Ross' gaze snapped towards the time.
Ross: I feel like we could go on for ages here. But there's only a couple of hours left until our arrival - we should use that time to get some rest.

He raised from his chair with a soft groan.
Ross: Good work, Ensign. See you in a minute.
