Fraternity of Cloak and Dagger

The wedding of Lieutenant Stefen Moss and Marine Private Jessica West had been beautiful. So romantic! The reception was at Quark's Bar, where all the crewmates, old and new, gathered like one large happy family.

*If only Commander Harris were alive today…* Thought T'Kul as she looked at the lucky couple.

"Congratulations, Lieutenant Moss, Private West ! Very happy for you both. I wish you a long and happy life together." The Romulan-Bajoran smiled and nodded at the two as she approached their table.

"Thank you, Commander…?"

"Rashad.." She introduced herself. "…Commander Rashad T'Kul."

"Do join us…." Said the groom with a raise of a Vulcanoid eyebrow. "….there's room at this table for one more."

"Thanks, folks, I think I will."

Also at the table sat the mother of the bride, Commander Sara West, Captain Aki Taybar and a male Human Lieutenant who appeared to be a little shy. Glasses were raised and bride and groom were toasted to both at the table and at all the other tables across Quark's establishment. Rashad's head almost swam with the romance and excitement of the moment.

*Oh, Officer 120…* Her thoughts drifted once again to the late Commander John Harris of the first ship to bear the name of Leviathan. Unconsciously she slightly raised her eyebrows in the manner typical of both Romulans and Vulcans.

"So, what do you do aboard the Leviathan, Commander Rashad ?" Asked the groom with respectful curiosity.

"I'm the First Officer now, but when I first came onboard the USS Leviathan, I was the Chief Intelligence Officer."

"Fancy that !" Said the newly married Stefen Moss with the slight surprise typical more for Humans than for Vulcans. "I am in Intelligence too."

"Same here." Said the Human Lieutenant sitting next to Captain Taybar. "I am Lieutenant Wright. James Wright. I also have a full Federation diplomatic accreditation."

*Wow !* Thought Rashad while giving her fellow spooks a respectful nod. *Diplomatic status ? The cover will certainly come in handy for the more delicate missions.*

Rashad didn't however let onto the fact that she was about to revise her role as Intel chief once more and become not only their superior officer, but also their section chief.

*This could be fun.* She thought.

"Well…" The Romulan-Bajoran gave Stefen Moss and James Wright one of her rare grins. "Not bad for a cloak and dagger team ! I am looking forward to working with you two….guys."

Suddenly, Rashad felt somewhat happy herself. There was a certain feeling of camaraderie between those serving in Intelligence. Indeed, a fraternity of cloak and dagger.
