The doors to the Captain's ready room opened as Captain Winters and Commander G'ginloss entered. With a slight thud, the two men took their seats across from each other. Winters turned his computer to face him, and with a few key strokes brought up the information that the Ferengi had sent them. After a few moments of silence, he finally spoke up.

"Well this is going to make things a little more complicated."

"What is it sir?" The Klingon asked as he leaned forward on the desk, trying to get a glimpse of the screen that Winters was looking at. The Captain seeing that the inquiring mind of the First Officer, spun his computer so he could see the same information. G'ginloss took a few moments to also read over the data and the single video. After taking a moment to himself to think, G'ginloss spoke up. "Do you think it's credible?"

"Well, I will say it will take a little time to authenticate, but I have a feeling that with the threat of their own destruction, the Ferengi would be very forthcoming in their information." Winters responded, as he did he sent the files back over to tactical for Pibb to check over.

"How did the Romulans even capture Axelrod?" G'ginloss asked as he sat back in his chair, his face giving off a slight confused look.

"I think there might be elements of the Romulans using us."

"What do you mean?"

Aurther leaned forward and places his elbows on his desk, "Well, they have been searching for Axelrod, and must have narrowed down where his location was. They must have figured that he had his own base, or port to keep his ship resupplied or even docked to subvert the attempts to locate him."

A lightbulb went off in the Commanders head, as it seemed all the pieces started to line up. "Of course, and the best way to flush him out, was to have us also join in the search. But they couldn't just ask for us for our help to search down his ship. But, if they attacked the Federation under the banner of Axelrod, we would be forced to intervene!"

"Exactly, and knowing we had the larger Armada that could respond quicker, we just kept pushing them, tightening the noose. We basically herded them Axelrod, and he probably made a few mistakes, and that's all it will take sometimes."

G'ginloss reviewed the data again, "It would appear, if this is correct, he is on Hiobos V, in the Iulara star system. Which would put him 12 hours away at maximum warp."

"Well this is the best information we can work off until anything else comes up. I would assume he is being held in some sort of prison or camp." Aurther leaned back and adjusted his uniform, weighing his options. "I will continue to review this, however Commander, set course for Hiobos V, as you said, maximum warp. You have the Conn, and please inform Commander Pibb to ready the Hazard team, I have a feeling their services will be needed again."

"Aye sir." G'ginloss stood up and nodded as he headed back out swiftly to the bridge, to carry out the orders of the Captain.
