<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Teshiss had sent her to this bar to make contact
with a
potential business partner.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Her
instructions had been clear that she was to bring the contact back.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>This man was supposed to be connected
with
resources Teshiss needed.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Stardust was a known clearing house for all
manners of opportunities,
but legal and otherwise.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>A
veritable
collection of interests worshiping the almighty Latinum.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Entering the bar, she was taken by the smells of
so many different
races in one space.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>On the stage
was the
typical entertainment in these places.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Something
she had received much training on.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Males
were so very predictable.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking around, she found a table in the back
corner and moved
to it. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sitting at the bar, back to the wall, was a
hooded
figure.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Gloved hands reached out
to pick
up the glass of clear liquid.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>As
the
glass was put down, so was a small recording device, pointed at the
Orion.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A Ferengi approached Teshiss’ table.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Good evening, Ma’am,” he said.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“May I recommend hurricane, made with
Orion Rum?”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Teshiss nodded.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“I
am
expecting company Ferengi.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>We do
not
wish to be disturbed.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nodding, “We have a private suite for such
conversations,
only 5 strips per hour.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>All the
amenities with the anonymity that comes with such a room.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">She nodded, handing the Ferengi some Latinium.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Bring the drink.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>We will use the room when he gets
here.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Pocketing the strips with practiced hand, he
turned and
returned to the bar.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Loron,” the
Ferengi
said. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes Nixac?”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“One Hurricane with Orion Rum, and a reservation
for the
private suite.” He said with a nod toward Teshiss’ table. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“How much did you take her for?”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“4 strips,” he said, placing the latinum on the
bar.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Loron nodded as he took the money.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Moments later he placed the drink on
the bar,
along with a chit to open a private room.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The figure at the end of the bar listened with
interest at
the discussion.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>He motioned to a short fellow who came
and
took the seat next to our mysterious person.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>A small bag exchanged hands quickly and the fellow left.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Time passed.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>An
hour
or so as people came and left the establishment. Around 2030, a lone
Cardassian
entered the establishment and made his way over to the bar.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Ordering Kanar, he looked around
expectantly.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The clock ticked forward, and Teshiss entered the
bar from the
back room.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>She was now dressed in
very
little.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>She made her way to where
the
Cardassian was sitting.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Putting
her arms
around him, “My Legate, it is so good to see you,” she said seductively,
“Teshiss
sent me to make you comfortable.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I
have someplace
more private.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Cardassian smiled and grabbed the bottle of
Kanar.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Then lead on plaything.
Teshiss is most
generous.”</p>
