“Oh… they’ll try.” Grogan said with barely concealed glee. “But I am going to make sure that neither of them breathe a breath of free air for at least as long as I live… and I’m gonna outlive them by a factor of ten, if I have to.” Daggum softly cleared his throat and said “Okay. What do you need from us?” he asked as he set his hand on Faye’s. Grogan said “Right now, I need you keep your mom engaged. Then I’m going to need you to find me someone on Orion that knows the law and you can trust. I know, I know… that’s like asking you to find a virgin in an orgy. But we need someone there to run that side. If we are going to take down Gallren.... and we most certainly are… we need someone to get him to step over the on Orion. Or at least for Orion interests. That will give me the leverage needed to get him in front of a court-martial. And I do so love a good court-martial.”

Grogan

Well… sh!t. Everything else of Daggum’s recent enterprise on Orion had been dealt with by himself or Paul, and they had left Faye out of it. For a lot of really good reasons. This time though, it was a favour she felt she needed to ask. “We have contacts on Orion, and I think we can come up with someone on the legal side who can act as proxy.” The thing about her contacts on Orion was that one had at least partially operated within the law business wise, and the other might not have a lot of status, but she was free now and working for Dag’s project. Linella was an observant and intelligent woman and Faye knew she’d help Faye and Daggum out. Besides, despite a couple messages, they hadn’t actually talked since their visit during their honeymoon and she had to admit that she’d really like to talk with the older Trill woman soon. And if Linella couldn’t hep them, well, between Kodell and Paul, she was sure someone could be found who’d fit the bill.

“Get me their info and make the introductions. And do it soon. I want to get on this before they even think they are in someone’s sights.” Grogan said. Daggum looked at Faye and he smiled. “Oh… oh I really want to do this. A corrupt Admiral and a manipulating Orion Syndicate agent? Faye… it’s like the best wedding present ever.” and he laughed.

Daggum

She grinned and leaned in, gazing at the captain with gratitude. “After the lives we’ve had, we’re considering our whole first year our honeymoon, so we really appreciate this lovely gift you’ve given us. I’ll make some calls and get back to you asap.” She looked down at Daggum. “Can’t disappoint my husband now.”

~Faye

“Good.” Grogan said and the comms went dark. Daggum looked at her and said “Ok. So what are you thinking? Or rather… who are you thinking?”

Daggum

Faye stepped around the chair so she was facing Dag and CT sewed on the inside of her cheek. “Well, the person I know there who probably has the connections we need if Kodell. But I think we’re both in agreement that he’s a last resort for just about everything. So for me that leaves Linella. She took our offer and is working with Paul now and free to do so.” Faye blew out a breath. “Sometimes I forget that I’ve been an intelligence officer since I was a teenager. Kodell trained me to use my brain to be observant in specific ways. But so was Linella in her own way and she spent decades with in that house. I don’t doubt she knows enough things about enough people that we could convince someone to help us out somehow.”

Daggum thought for a moment and then said “Ok. Give her a call and see what she thinks she can do to help.” He got up form the desk and went to the replicator and ordered a pitcher of fruit punch. “You want anything?” he asked over his shoulder as the replicator whirred to life.

Daggum

“A stiff drink?” Faye said flatly as she slid into the chair he had just vacated and set about starting a secure call to Linella on Orion. She always did encrypt her calls but Orion necessitated a even more cautious approach.

Faye braced an elbow on the desk and propped her chin in her hand. “How are you feeling about all this? It’s a bit of a whirlwind, yeah?

~Faye

Daggum shrugged. “Yeah… a bit. But it’s really just a puzzle to solve.” He turned and looked at her. “Besides… the way I see it, she may have given birth to me… but she is no mother of mine. Like I said… just a problem we have to figure out a solution to.”

Daggum

She offered him a soft smile. “Well, fortunately for both of us, puzzles are our forte, and my favourite past time. And not to put too fine a point on it, I’m not interested in making her like me either, so maybe it’s just as well we’re not looking to be one big happy family.” They already had one of those, dramatic as it could be. But at least it was an honest one.
