For a moment T'Lari had expected the tractor beams not to work but they had activated without issue. She considered for a moment as they engaged... was she really this cynical?

The 23rd-century philosopher T'Prea had argued that it was, that logic dictated that each situation must be judged according to circumstances and that becoming cynical interfered with that. Still, there were others who disagreed.
The thought didn't distract her as she kept a careful eye on sensor readings. She was ready to disable the ship if there was the slightest indication that it would run or otherwise prove a threat.
In the meantime Black was attempting to gather more information on the Cardassian ship a mere half light-second from their position. It was making no attempt to cross. Was it waiting for Heathridge? Most likely, though the circumstances were still unknown. Had the Cardassians detected him? Unlikely, but possible. Was he smuggling something to them? More likely. Too many questions.
