 The senior officers gather in the primary conference room of Starbase 211. It’s an auditorium-style room, with tiered seating looking down on the conference table, and a massive transparent aluminum portal looking out at the deep space towards the Federation core. As they file in, [[trek:venerable:pcs:aaron|Aaron]] spots and identifies Betazed, while [[trek:venerable:pcs:kimball|Kimball]] picks out the distant star of Earth. They are alone in the room with Admiral [[trek:characters:shafiq|Shafiq]] and Lieutenant Commander [[trek:characters:bjornson|Bjornson]] and as they settle in, they realize the two must have come to some arrangement, as the admiral’s earlier anger seems to have evaporated.  The senior officers gather in the primary conference room of Starbase 211.

-Admiral Shafiq keeps the debriefing informal and allows Aaron to take the lead but occasionally asking direct questions to the appropriate officer. [[trek:characters:tkora|T’kora]], [[trek:characters:heltorin|Hel-Torin]], [[trek:characters:ten|Ten]], and [[trek:characters:eleven|Eleven]] all seem used to this, so the new officers assume this is simply the admiral’s personal style. Aaron lays things out but tries to determine how much influence SI has in play. He asks them directly if they knew about the extent of the technology left on LV-397. Admiral Shafiq’s honest and open reaction is plain to see, as she states, “Not at all.” Bjornson is much more opaque, but says, “Not there specifically, but we are aware of a large number of ancient technologies in this general region. We’re in an archeological arms race and playing catch-up with the Orions, but Captain Englyss kicked off the race five years ago.” Aaron nods as he realizes Bjornson is referring to his first contact with the T’Kon. +Admiral Shafiq keeps the debriefing informal and allows Aaron to take the lead but occasionally asking direct questions to the appropriate officer.

 Aaron says he’s heard rumors of this individual but has never met him. Kimball says the name has come up semi-frequently in reports about the Syndicate, but nothing else. Bjornson explains that this Marat’teer is the closest thing SI has seen to an Orion nationalist, and his men were behind the attack on the //Wyoming// at the beginning of the year. Bjornson also adds that the Orion Syndicate is heavily invested in illegal salvage of wrecked ships. Aaron asks Admiral Shafiq point-blank, “Do you plan on stepping up dedicated patrols to stop the Orions?” The admiral shakes her head and replies, “Not yet, not until things settle down for a bit. My ideal is to have the //Boston// and the //Sacramento// as flexible out-runners while the //Phoenix// and the //Philippa Georgiou// act as the muscle. But all that depends on whatever the new normal is post-Wolf 359.” Aaron nods in understanding, and Admiral Shafiq continues, “However, once the //Boston// is repaired, I will be sending you to survey the Argolis Cluster on Monday. We need to know what’s in there.” Aaron says he’s heard rumors of this individual but has never met him.

-The admiral then taps a button to raise a privacy screen and another button to stop the official recording. She then leans forward and says softly, “And unofficially, I want you to look for a suitable colony for the Bajoran refugees.” Aaron nods once again, understanding the implications of the covert order, and replies, “We’ll see what’s out there.” Admiral Shafiq smiles and resumes recording. Aaron then describes the technical findings on LV-397 and their encounter with [[trek:characters:harun|Harold the Romulan]]. Admiral Shafiq openly boggles at the description of Harold, while Bjornson remains opaque. +The admiral then taps a button to raise a privacy screen and another button to stop the official recording.

 Aaron shares his belief that “Harold” is a wild card not working for the Romulan Star Empire, and one with a moral code, albeit a warped one. He doesn’t believe Harold is an adversary, but he admits, “He has control over a network of gateways throughout the galaxy.” He finishes with his science department attempting to collect DNA samples from the Romulan ale. Bjornson asks for everything they find to be forwarded, and then asks, “Did you want to keep the ale?” Admiral Shafiq gives him some serious side-eye, but he shrugs and retorts, “I think they’ve earned it.” The admiral frowns but doesn’t object. Aaron adds, “And finally, I recommend a warning about these devices sent out as ‘captain’s eyes only’ regarding their potential for devastation to subspace in the event of a cascade failure.” Both the admiral and the lieutenant commander nod in agreement. Aaron shares his belief that “Harold” is a wild card not working for the Romulan Star Empire, and one with a moral code, albeit a warped one.

 Below the operations zone is a series of interconnected “pods” that add modularity and extra functionality to the //Sigma//-class starbase. Most of the pods contains laboratories or additional engineering facilities, but the primary pod – and by far the largest – is Pod 011, known colloquially as “the Pod.” The Pod contains all non-Starfleet living spaces, a real park with trees, grass, and a small lake, and shops and restaurants. Aaron and Kimball spot Boslics moving around, as well as a handful of Ferengi and a few vendors selling Cardassian foods and beverages; they learn there are some Cardassian merchants who pass through. The Pod is very popular with station personnel and traveler alike and forms the true heart of Starbase 211. Below the operations zone is a series of interconnected “pods” that add modularity and extra functionality to the //Sigma//-class starbase.

-==== K'tala's ====+==== Katala's ====
 The two officers spot Katala’s, an Orion nightclub that opens its doors at 2000 hours every night. They decide to check it out and are in line in their uniforms at the appointed time. They walk into a dimly lit corridor where the gray Starfleet bulkheads have been covered by Orion pearlescent fittings; Aaron shivers as the memory of the //Moban//. They are met by a massive Nausicaan who silently points to their phasers and then to a security box. Taking the hint, they put their sidearms in the box, and the Nausicaan hands them each a small pile of chits before waving them through. The two officers spot Katala’s, an Orion nightclub that opens its doors at 2000 hours every night.
