"Commander Lokran. When we start getting close to Earth, I'd like you to keep your eye on the sensors for any vessels following us."

"Aye, Ma'am." said R'nard. He was watching and nothing would get past him.

She looked at Jones on one side and Clifford on the other. "I would like you to meet with Toddman, Paris, Nakamura, Ross, and Janeway to find out what you can about Riggs. I need to know if he was working with Westmoreland."

"Ma'am I will use my intelligence contacts to make a search without letting Riggs know untill it's too late", answered BGen Jones.

"I'm counting on it." Deela half smiled.

Yamaguchi finished her various checks as she turned and made her way over to where the Admiral was seated. "Admiral, weapons and sensors are fully operational and we have our full load of photon torpedoes aboard."

"Very good, Lt. Commander. Good to see that you are prepared."

"Possibly sir, I'm preparing for anything... but if I may inquire. has anyone wondered if the Admiral." she would not to Riggs the curtosy of referring to him by name as to her he had helped to commit the most heinious crime inaginable to her people. Killing someone elses children and she was resolute in her processes. "Has anyone else involved with his little conspiriacy." she
paused. "Also.. what are his other long term goals... because a simple case of revenge in itself is almost meaningless.."

"Quite frankly, I don't know who else is in cahoots with Westmoreland. As for what he is hoping to accomplish other than revenge, we're not sure. That us why Admiral Bremer is following Westmoreland to Remu III."

Seeing her answer satisfied her, he continued.

"Carry on. I'll be in my ready room. Please let me know when we get close to Earth." Deela walked into her Ready Room, the door shut behind her as she went and sat down. She punched a few things on her console. Information on Remu III and the Pegasus showed up.

The logs talked about a ship called USS Universal which was the name of the class it was as well. She was a prototype ship that had impressive weaponry and had been stolen by Anti-Cardassian vigilantes. The tactical was equivalent to thirty starships. The vigilantes wanted to destroy the rest of the Cardassians. Later reports revealed that the original test crew led by FAdm Casey were still on the ship and that they were the ones set to destroy the Cardassians.

She was quite impressed but that wasn't really important, just interesting reading. Moving on, she found that the Pegasus was one of the many ships to pursue her. MacArther and the Pegasus-A were destroyed, and eventually, the USS Universal. Bremer also lost his wife, Becky in that fight. Like Bremer, she found the same info about Westmoreland's wife who was killed on the USS Universal.

The only thing Deela could think of was that maybe he wanted Bremer to follow him to Remu III to end Bremer's life where his wife died. Other than that, it didn't make sense. In her opinion, Bremer lost his wife that day as well as Westmoreland.

Deela sat back in her chair, the palms of her hands together, 8 fingers entwined with her index fingers touching her lips while she pondered the information she read.

Andrew was thinking about the up coming meeting when the helm officer turned to speak to him, "Earth coming up, Captain". Andrew broke from his reverie, "Very good. Drop us out of warp and put us into a standard orbit, please. ETA?"

The Helm officer looked back to his console "Aye Sir. ETA 15 minutes".

Andrew tapped his comm badge, "Clifford to Admiral T'lar. Now dropping out of warp, Ma'am. Earth orbit in 15 minutes"

"Thank you." She got up and walked out the door back onto the bridge. She sat down and watched on.

Andrew went back to his thinking and then picking up his PADD he linked it to the ships main computer banks and downloaded all references to Admiral Riggs, particularly any that included Admiral Bremer and Westmoreland. He quickly scanned through the download but nothing leapt out at him.

Yamaguchi held a PADD in her hand as she stepped foreward. "There are Six ship in the system, mostly frigates but one Crusier is present, the USS Ticonderoga."

Deela looked over at her bridge crew, "Let Admiral Nechayev know that we have arrived and it's urgent that I speak to her."

"Yes Admiral", said the officer at the comm.

"Jones and Yamaguchi, you will talk to Paris, Nakamura, Ross, Toddman and Janeway. I want to know if Riggs was acting on behalf of Starfleet or not.

Toddman is the former Chief of Security and he can confirm if the Romulan intel was false.

Ross has knowledge of Section 31. I want to know of they have a connection to Admiral Riggs or not. Captain Clifford, you'll accompany me. Commander Lokran, you have the bridge."

Yamaguchi raised an eyebrow as she looked at the General. "General sir." she greeted the second Flag officer and it was clear she was meeting him for the first time.

"Commander... Let's go, we need to talk to Janeway first" said Andy.

Yamaguchi nodded as she quickly compiled all of her infomation she knew about Admiral Janeway, former commander of USS Voyager and made famous by her long sojourn into the Delta Quadrant, braved eight long years of what should have been a three quaters of a century journey home and was promoted out of the Captain's chair into the ranks of the Admiralty where she clearly had not allowed the pundits or the naysayers to gainsay her, she was now either commander of the first fleet or the head of starfleet academy, Torilla had forgotten which one it was and she knew fancy words and long speaches would not persuade the Admiral into sharing what little or what much she know about recent events.

She knew she would need to be delicate and gentle on this mission, afterall her
companion was a one star General so she would probably go along as his aide,
but the rank of Lt Commander and her age made her rather unusual for an aide, however she wold not quibble or complain about it. "How do you plan on doing this sir?" she inquired as she and the General walked onto the turbolift at the back of the bridge.

Andrew then nodded to T'Lar and said "Ma'am."

"Finesse... Cdr... Finesse", answered Jones.

"They may expect me to be your aide... I will need to carry a large PADD if that is to be the case sir." she looked up at him, as he was a few inches taller then she was, she also saw the lines on his face and the hardness in his eyes that she saw in Colonel Hurd as she quickly realized she was dealing with another combat veteran.

"That they may... believe me in HQ they are used to see me walk with a lot of different people so we'll do Ok... Just get your padd on hand and act as my Aide... The rest will be solved by itself", answered Andy.

"Hopefully the Transporter room will have one, or they can make me one." she answered. "so I can take notes."

"We can only hope", he said trying to lift Torilla's Mood.

Deela got up out of her chair as well as Clifford. Lokran sat down in the command chair. They stepped onto the transporter pads, ready to beam down to Starfleet headquarters. "Energize."

Deela looked at everyone, "Good luck. We'll meet back here in two hours."

R'nard nodded and said "Good luck, Admiral."
