Some sensitive information has made its way to this region of space. We want the Orion Syndicate to stop it from spreading any further.

The plot thickens. This wouldn’t have anything to do with a certain group of fugitives out beyond the fringe, would it?

Oh, where did those manners go? I do have an acquaintance on Yridia who has a particular talent for squashing information. I suppose I could be persuaded to call in a favor.

Khan tries to be subtle, but the nature of his experiments make them very difficult to hide from prying eyes. Some of the others aren’t nearly as concerned with staying hidden.

Right now, they’re only rumors, but it won’t be long before Starfleet catches on. If they suspect that Khan is out here, they’ll send everything they have at us.

The one organization with the clout and resources to help is the Orion Syndicate. I know that they’re unsavory but they have a direct link to the information market.

Please, Commander. Khan’s work is too important. He can’t fail now, not when he’s so close. You have to help us.

The space beyond the fringe is empty. There are no fugitives hiding there, a scouting team confirmed it.

That’s good, it sounds credible. All I need to do is bribe a few 'witnesses' and it should stick.

Starfleet want Khan and the Augments sealed away forever, just because of what they are. It’s not right. They’re letting fear of the unknown drive their judgment.

It is unlikely that anyone else is aware of our plan. We should return to Marla and inform her that the rumors should no longer be a problem.
