Timeline: 208612.29

Ash left Gedak at the bar and made her way to her quarters. The Ourainavassa was one hell of a prize. She sat down at her console and encrypted her activities. While she may not be an active Section 31 agent anymore, the skills and tricks of her old life are things that she carries with her... that and decades of physical and mental trauma. But that's neither here nor there. She sends out a few messages to old contacts of her's. She tries not to do that. The more she reaches out to her old life, the more likely her old life will catch up to her. However, if they can get the Ourainavassa, it just might be worth it.

She pulls up open source information on the ship and reads up on the last known reports of the Mogai-class vessel that disappeared on it's shakedown cruise. She knows it was a prototype warbird, that incorporated Federation technology when the Romulans and the Federation were allied during the Dominion War. And there was probably a lot of under the table collaboration and features to the vessel too. These kinds of joint ventures would have Tal Shiar and Section 31 all over it. Why hasn't it been found until now? Why now? Who the hell has it? Was this a trap? Ash had so many questions, but she's not any closer to getting an answer than when she was talking with Gedak.

Until her console beeped at her.

She looked at the encryption code. It wasn't from any of her contacts. But she knew exactly what it was.

"Well shit."

It was short message. Only text. A time. A meeting place. And the ever threatening, "Come alone."
