Jez listened to Commander Velaul and Talion offering their theories as to who may have done what, but something was bothering Jez, she felt strongly that what was needed was for one of the Telepaths to read the President's and Ambassador’s thoughts and compare notes as they say, but Jez suspected that the Captain probably wouldn't go for it even though it would answer may questions.
However, something gave Jez great pause, and then it hit her, something the President said made things become very clear. The President said, “You misunderstand. Riani dilithium contains a highly volatile compound. Only the Tanndi nation possesses the technology to safely refine it, and our capacity is nowhere near sufficient for export to other planets. The Cardassians very shrewdly decided that the yield wasn’t worth the hazard. Of course, that was several years ago.”
Jez knew the pure dilithium was rare, but not very rare. In some systems, one can find pure, ready-to-use dilithium right on the planet's surface. With such easy-to-use dilithium, Governments secure the mining rights quickly, and that's why illegal mining is punished so severely. Now, it would stand to reason that if someone possessed the technology to safely extract the volatile compounds, they would stand to make a fortune from the dilithium and the separated compounds.
Think Jez, the Cardassians practically stripped Bajr bare of it’s mineral, clearly they would possess the technology to strip the volatile compounds, but seeing how they left Riani, or so they claimed but with a new Federation Ambassador in place that could prove problematic for the Cardassians as the Federation would now doubt want to secure the Riani dilithium mining rights and I bet that the Cardassians were behind the subspace pulse, after all they did have that Alliance with the Dominion some forty odd years ago, who knows what secrets they may have picked up from the founders.
Turning to the President and Commander Velaul, “excuse me but I think someone has been playing the President for a fool, Madam President you stated that the Cardassians left Riani because the Riani Dilithium had volatile impurities, but what if the impurities, along with the Dilithium, were valuable to the right buyer, like the Ferengi or the Breen, even the Romulans.
Now, chances are the former Federation Ambassador knew of this; he would know the Flight Plan of the incoming New Ambassador, and what if he had a deal with the Cardassians to return to Riani. The Cardassians, through their Strip mining of Bajor, could remove the impurities of the Riani, but if a new Federation Ambassador is in place, that would pose a problem.
I think maybe one of your other Nation states may be in league with the Cardassians, the Cardassians could have developed the Subspace pulse technology from or developed it with the help of the Dominion when they were allies forty years ago and needed an excuse to use it.” Said Jez, her tone matter-of-fact. “I know it’s just a theory, but it fits the evidence, the assassination attempt of the Ambassador, the subspace pulse, everything seems to fit, at least we should consider what I have said.
