ON:

Bremer, K'Wor, and Chu'rex left Bremer's office and took the turbolift ride down to the Promenade. Chu'rex took the lead as if he owned the whole place. As he walked, laser focused, toward 'Good Fella's Bar and Grille' people stepped aside and watched the large Klingon.

The restaurant wasn't open yet, but the door was open so Chu'rex walked boldly in and looked around. "Tom Vercetti!" He called out as K'Wor and Mike also arrived.

A moment later, Tom stepped out of the back room. He set the two bottles of wine on the bar as he eyed the Klingon. "I'm Tom."

Chu'rex stepped forward, "Where is the Andorian known as Ryne?"

"Who?" Tom asked, confused.

Mike then stepped forward, "This is Chu'rex, he's a bounty hunter. He's looking for an Andorian known as Ryne."

"Mike investigation shows Ryne to be an acquaintance of yours." Chu'rex added.

Tom looked back at them, confused. "I don't know many Andorians. There's, umm, Sha'nan. His shop is just down the way there. Uh, there was an Andorian on Free Cloud I want in two a couple of years ago, but never got his name. He didn't do business, he was a just an associate of Bjayzl, but Seven of Nine killed her last year and Bjayzl's associates have either been arrested or killed since then. Umm, there was an Andorian on M'talas Prime I met a few months ago, he was working for Sneed."

"That's him!" Chu'rex replied quickly. "Ryne is a known associate of Sneed and has been contracted to make several hits for him, however your Federation Security can't prove it and there is no local law enforcement to speak of on that wretched planet."

Tom nodded, then stepped back to the bar where he pulled out a PADD.

"Tom, what business did you have with a gangster like Sneed?" K'Wor asked as he stepped forward.

"It's not what you think. I have a friend that needed some supplies. Mostly medical, but also some spare parts for his ship, personal supplies..." Tom replied.

"And weapons?" Mike asked.

Tom eyed Bremer for a moment before nodding. "Yeah. He's helping his mom, she does this 'doctors without borders' thing, bringing medial aid to planets Starfleet and the Federation can't or don't help. They've been selling weapons to Fenris Rangers and some small militias to get latinum to buy my medial supplies. Believe it or not, Quark even helped them a few months back."

"So Sneed had something the Rangers wanted?" Mike asked, connecting the dots in the story.

"Right. Now I know, he's the suspected master mind in the attack on the USS Louisville last year, but he didn't have anything from the ship or Starfleet when I dealt with him, I think he already sold what he had to another party." Tom explained.

"And Ryne?" Chu'rex asked.

"If I need to do business with Sneed, he's the go between." Tom replied.

Chu'rex smirked. "Call him, tell him you want to make another deal."

Tom looked at the Klingon for a moment then glanced to Bremer who nodded in approval.
