Mission: Pangaea (Wrap up)
Location: Starship Matthias - Executive Suite

"Wow, I knew that the ship was massive, but I didn't think it would be this big." Crewman Stanis said as he continued to walk along the corridor.

"You're right, other than the Dilithuim Chamber I really haven't seen much of their Corporate Offices, but I can see why the Matthias is the headquarters for the Raddon Corporation." Petty Officer Dangog replied.

The two Enlisted crewmen had beamed aboard and were making their way towards the executive office belonging to Raymond Raddon. Although they had met with the younger executive many times, this was their first visit onboard the corporation's hub of operations. As they looked around they noticed the stark contrast between that of a Starfleet vessel.

This vessel was filled with the latest in amenities designed for leisure and comfort moreso than Engineering efficiency or anything of the like. The Matthias was built to remind its visitors that the profit was not a four-letter-word used as a punchline when referring to the Ferengi. That words like: profit, inspiration, and innovation, were synonymous with each other. It also meant that all of those words could be used to describe the success that had become the Raddon Corporation.

The two Crewmen turned the corner and arrived in front of the designated office belonging to the heir-apparent to the Raddon Corporation: Raymond Raddon.

Upon hearing the chime, Raymond looked up from his monitor and announced his desire to allow the two visitors to enter his vast office. "C'mon in! C'mon in!" Raymond said as he turned off the viewer and looked towards the two men who had entered.

"Gentlemen, I'm assuming that you both received your. . .'consulting fees' for the favor that I asked for?" The Corporate Officer said with a knowing smile. It was a simple task to have the credits provided to the two Starfleet Crewmen. It was even simpler to find a pretty face to deliver the credits by hand rather than transferring through subspace methods.

"Uh...yes Mr. Raddon, we appreciated the generous gift, particularly the choice of delivery persons," PO Dangog said, referring to the very charming Orion that brought his payment to his quarters.

"But enough with this chit-chat, I approached you two for a reason. I'm assuming you found something relevant?" Raymond said, wanting to get to the point of the meeting.

"Yeah, we did. turns out that Tessaro chick is one of those 'involuntary temporal displacements' you hear the Department of Temporal Investigations talking about in those mandatory briefings." PO Dangog said.

That captured Raymond's attention. "Really?" he said with genuine fascination. That explained how she was so knowledgeable about the Earth Starfleet mission against the Xindi. "She's not from this time period! Well, don't leave out the details, how the hell did she get here and what other knowledge does she possess?" Raymond asked excitedly.

PO Dangog and Crewman Stansis looked at each other briefly. "Sorry, Mr. Ray, but that's about all we could find in her quarters. It's not like we could have sat down and accessed her personal logs." The Crewman responded. "We were able to get into her quarters by claiming that we had to do a 'Health & Welfare maintenance' check; but that didn't give us a lot of time to check out her quarters." He said.

"All we could find was that she fought in the Romulan War and then she was onboard The USS Sundsvall before it got lost in some anomaly." Crewman Stansis said to the Business Executive.

Raymond nodded as he took in the new information. "Interesting. . ." He looked up at the two Federation Crewman and quickly dismissed them. "Well thank you for your help on this matter. If I need anything further I'll be sure to let you know." He said with a nod as he turned and took a seat behind his desk.

As the two left his office, Raymond leaned back and carefully observed his computer screen display. "Computer, connect with Earth Historical Records, retrieve any and all personnel records from students that attended the United Stats Military Academy between 2130 to 2140." He said, trying to reduce his search to as a specific point in time as necessary.

After being interrogated by the two Security Officers, Raymond intended on performing his own background check on Ms. Tessaro.
