was not so silent about his cursing. Why was it that whenever they found life signs in the air vents that it becomes his job to chase whatever it was out? And there was another one. A tiny blip on the life sign monitors. True they didn't want any vermin
chewing through the materials that would then need to be replaced. And Klingon vermin were often reported as chewing through deuterium walls. </span><span style="color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, system-ui, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Then
there had been reports, earlier, about finding people crawling through the sewer systems. He just shook his head, wondering what went through their minds.</span></div>

weren't small, scritchy, vermin steps. They were plodding, full-sized people steps. His eyes narrowed and he pulled out his long blade. Slowly he moved towards the sound, and then realized that it was moving towards him as well.</span></div>

the maintenance engineers had heard about the Federation visitors. He didn't know how this one got all the way down there, and to be honest, he didn't really care. It was outside his realm of responsibility. However, he did have the presence of mind to
think he might get rewarded for returning it to its owners.</span></span></span></div>
