“Thanks for your help, for my crew and me. I feel better already, genuinely,” Mara said with a nod. “But you’re holdin’ out on me. Ramius. What’s he actually like? What have we got runnin’ around the ship? Have I gotta keep an eye on him?”
Robin shook her head. "Definitely not."
“Never mind the Sydesh angle,” she added. “I know you’re close with the ginger nut. Whatever I think of her, she ain’t gonna give me the chance to chuck her head first in the brig. But that reaction earlier, that tells me you had an issue or two with him. I’d like to know what they were. Woman to woman. You know me, I’m not gonna go runnin’ my mouth. Pretty sure I’m well known for the exact opposite,” she joked. “I just wanna know what I’m dealin’ with.”
I need to work on being less easy to read. 'Course, its her job, but still.
"It wasn't an issue. Not really. I honestly didn't know him very well. But I did end up having to go through darkened tunnels on a Kazon station in the Delta Quadrant with him, during the Pathfinder Expedition, and he ended up with a gun pointed at him. I managed to play at being intimidating long enough for the Kazon to drop his weapon. I honestly think Nathan didn't know I was an Augment at the time. Whatever happened with the two traitor Augments on the Getty, I think it messed him up psychologically. Probably would most people. It was ugly. So it's probably just me being hypersensitive. I can tell you that he was best friends with Elias, though I don't know much more than that. They were pretty tight." She paused. "The Captain trusts him, and honestly that's good enough for me. She takes a while to trust anyone, and you have to earn it."
They were interrupted by the very same Captain. "Speak of the redheaded devil." She pulled up the results of the computer search, her brow knitting as the names came up. "Whoa." She turned the monitor so Mara could see. "Not sure about this Elak Srim, but Damar was in charge of the Cardassians under the Dominion after Gul Dukat lost power, and he turned rebel before dying in the liberation of Cardassia Prime. Broca was the puppet who took over after he rebelled, and he was killed by the Jem'Hadar." She'd read through an extensive multi-volume history of the Dominion War as a teenager and knew all the big names. "Those four Vorta are all well-known to the Federation. Someone's got quite a collection of important Dominion War era clones." Robin didn't have a clue why. either, and the confusion no doubt showed in her gemstone-colored eyes. "Gimme a sec, I need to let the Captain know."
"Mayfair to Crawford. I have the results of the genetic tests. The Cardassians are all clones of Dominion War era leaders. Elak Srim, Broca, and Damar. The Vorta are all well-known to Starfleet, same time frame. Keevan, Yelgrun, Eris, and Luaran, with one unidentified. Eris was the only known Vorta with psionic powers. I'm sending the results to the Bridge. Could we get someone from Science to coordinate with us, see if there's anything else that can be determined? The Klingons all come from a renegade House Suket, though they're only slightly related. They're currently in a struggle with the Orion Syndicate."
She turned to her friend as she closed the connection. "This just got a lot more interesting."
