The next morning, at 0420 hours local station time, the
USS Murgatroid arrived. Normally, her arrival would have filled many of
Starbase 668's residents with apprehension; but since
Storvik…(How many of them are there now?)
…and
Lothar…(At least there's only one of him!)
…had already arrived, without the usual explosions…(Peanuts don't explode.)
…perhaps this visit by the Murgatroid would actually be uneventful. Safe.(Boring!)
As soon as he had been notified of her arrival, Captain Storvik had made his way down to the docking area to meet her. He bought with him Counsellor Lothar, still being transported on a grav plate. Also arriving at the docking area, ready to move "back" onto the ship which they had never actually seen with their own physical eyes, were a couple of
Mib Khan clones. These were the "old hands" from the station; the three newest Khans were being left behind in the sickbay while the two older Khans went "home."
They were greeted at the airlock connecting the station to the Murgatroid by Commander Qaren, Lieutenant Heavens, and
Brother Lothar.(Another one? Oh @#$%!)
"Hey there bestest friend Vulcan!" Brother Lothar said. "I didn't understand your message. Why did you want me to come out onto the station?"
As he pushed grav plate through the airlock, Storvik replied, "It is your job to find Captain Leslie Wong and talk to her. Do not allow her access to the Murgatroid or any of her other crew."
