V'Tira had returned to DS9's operations to review her background check on the Bajoran politician Krim Nalas, who as she learned at the briefing was gaining leads in the popular polls among Bajorans using incendiary rhetoric against his opponent Cerin Reyla. Reyla as she was told is of half-Bajoran, half-Cardassian heritage. Which it appeared has been controversial to Bajoran population. As she knew and was briefed upon each and every First Minister of Bajor, until recently, has been of entirely Bajoran heritage. V'Tira sighed inwardly she recognized the ugliness of such prejudice, even her own people were not above suhch illogical and irrational displays such as what was occurring on the world beyond the space station.
This Reyla. According to the briefing officer, his election rose the irrational fear of a renewed Cardassian occupation, which of course bred and fed into the fear that fueled the unrest on Bajor. Nalas' ascension is a matter of concern for the Federation. V'Tira found it odd however as the target of her background check was unknown one year ago, and now was set to capture the highest seat of government on a member world. He bore little if any true assets or property...yet seemed to play on the fears to push him into office.
For what purpose, she mused.
She looked at the time an realized Alpha watch aboard the Protector was ending. She reminded herself she had agreed to meet with Cathy and Desiree for dinner. She had pondered asking her new friend along, this Ensign Yao umm Chang, however he appeared more interested in drinking with Dominick and the counselor. Though she had agreed to yet another social interaction, not to mention she had not found his company unappealing. She had decided to forgo another encounter with his this evening, calculating his rate of alcohol consumption with the Protector's pilot would more than likely render him of little to no use to her.
She reviewed her program that was currently examining the massive collection of subspace communications in system as she hunted for any possible anomalies that might indicate a possible outside influence behind this Nalas individual. She knew this would take some more time and she was no yet tired so she picked up her PADD and made her way to the Promenade to meet with her two friends. Her most recent social interaction with the couple had been completed satisfactory and as such she found she needed the break from the tedious work at the moment.
She arrived at the agreed upon point on the agreed upon time and awaited their arrival. As she did so she took a moment to watch the highlights from this week in baseball on Cestus III.
