Don't Mention That Name
Aboard a shuttle en route to the USS Cairo:
"Are you sure we shouldn't have warned the Cairo about Lothar?" Heavens whispered to
Storvik and
Mib Khan.
"They're a big ship," Khan replied. "I'm sure they can take care of themselves."
"Since the rest of the fleet left," Storvik said, "the Cairo is our only transport out of this system."
"On second thought," Khan grinned, "we are all one big happy Star Fleet, and really should keep each other informed of important things, right?"
Heavens asked the pilot to contact the Cairo's bridge for her. "Heavens to Cairo," she stated, then paused. Funny, people usually laughed when she hailed the Murgatroid, so she'd gotten into the habit of waiting for it to die down before continuing. "Counsellor
Lothar -" As soon as that name left her lips, the signal from the Cairo was cut off. "That's strange," she murmured. "It's like they didn't want to hear anything about him."
"What were you going to tell them?" the pilot asked.
"I was just going to warn them that Lothar was on his way to them under his own power. He's probably already there -" As soon as that statement left her lips, the shuttle's engines shut off.
