Very fun analytical scene - totally Trek tactical analysis. That could have come out of STNG. Very interesting that the officer Leva had spoken to is now avoiding him like the plague. Not surprising - a tale of conflicting loyalties.
And the pirates keep turning out to be more clever and well equipped at every turn than expected. They don't seem to be just pirates. Mahoney and Star are probably warping into a hornet's nest...
Thanks!! rbs
Author's Response: Thanks, I do love these little call backs to Trek. That's why we do what we do, I guess.

A great little detective story with the crew chasing down the probable location of the raiders' base... and with Mahoney acting like an actual human being, as well!
That won't last.
Author's Response: Yeah, when things are going well, Mahoney has things together. It's those times when he doesn't get his way that you better watch out.

Well, Leva carries out his own investigation and realizes that something does not tie in. I guess he will return to his observation that the warp trails at Yarra III are completely different from the rest. I like the way he tricked Mahoney into believing that he had unraveled the secret while he simply needed his consent to implement the results from the stimulation.
Very cunning indeed, but Mahoney does not realize what happens between those almost Vulcan pointed ears.
Author's Response: Leva is learning to walk a tight rope with Mahoney, a new experience for him, I'm sure. Questions is how long can things go on like this.
