Chapter Fight

"There are some things that transcend even the discipline

of the Service."

--Amok Time

IT TOOK US almost thirty minutes to wind our way

through the Argelian slums and up that rise to the

dairy farm. A motley collection of old wooden shacks

and stone-processing buildings, the farm also now

possessed an incongruous sophistication guards.

"How many?" I asked as Scanner crouched beside

me in the nearby overgrowth.

He turned his tricorder and squinted at the screen

"Twelve or more. These buildings are armed with

screens. Sensors can't penetrate, but I read twelve

guards on this side. You think they're Argelian?"

I smirked at him. "Not if M ornay's worth her salt.

Look at those phaser rifles."

"Yeah, so much for Argelian law. Those guys don't

look very affectionate, do they?"

"They look like hired guns to me," I said. "Mornay

must've scraped the bottoms of some seedy bar-

rels."

"Tell you what . . . they got a sensor wall around

this place that's steady as a docked ship. A butterfly

couldn't get in without them findin' out."
