Re: Part 16 - Unsolved mystery
Kourene listens to the reports in silence, and when they are finished he says nothing, as he stands to inspect some display screens mounted on the wall behind his desk. He runs a finger along the top edge of one, then inspects the digit briefly.
Without turning, he finally speaks, "It does sound as if you were successful, yes. And I'll have to meet this woman you mentioned. We've tried, unsuccessfully, to find these people in the past. Hoped to share resources and information with them. Not surprisingly, though, they've tended to keep a low profile and not publicise their presence."
"With any luck she'll prove to be a useful contact. Good work."
At last he faces towards the group. "There is still, however, the issue of the spy in the base. Indeed, the situation has escalated. While you were away, somebody planted an explosive device in the cafeteria. A number of personnel, including myself, were injured, and one tech is still in the infirmary... She is, unfortunately, allergic to bacta treatments, so the medics are having to patch her up without it."
"This needs to be stopped."
"Effective immediately, I'm removing you from all other duties and assigning you to track down whoever is behind this."
