It wasn't a long wait in the quarters he was provided with. Captain Mallory sat across from him at the desk as stars seeming flashed by the window. "Sorry for the cloak and dagger routine." Mallory stated with a broad smile. "But you're entering into a highly guarded quadrant. Everything you're about to see is restricted." "Understood." Mitchell nodded slowly. "Not a word." "Exactly." He shrugged his shoulders. "Afraid I can't tell you much at this point." "So at what point will I be briefed on what's going on and why I am here?" Mitchells curiosity was barely controlled at this point. "Admiral Fox will fill you in on what's going on." "Don't believe I have ever heard of Admiral Fox before." This was a situation that now stunned him. An unknown, unheard of Starfleet Admiral. "Not surprising." Mallory agreed. "He answers straight to the Starfleet Commander. So you make be in for a shock. Things you're about to see and hear are not in any Starfleet data systems. The entire system is self contained out here alone." "You may be getting me into something way over my head." Mitchell stated with a slow breath. At which point the intercom buzzed. "Bridge to Captain Mallory." A Voice emitted from the small speaker. "If someone above didn't think you were up to the task," Mallory added as he reached for the comms button. "Then you wouldn't be here." He pressed the button. "Mallory here." "Approaching outer markers, Sir." "Drop to impulse and send recognitions codes." Mallory instructed the unseen officer. He then switched off. "Once we arrive, we'll take you to meet the Admiral first thing." He indicated towards the window with a tilt of his head and smiled. "Enjoy the view. You'll never see anything like it anywhere else." "Sounds intriguing." Mitchell smiled even as they rose from their seats. Mallory nodded curtly and moved across the room and out the door. "Cloak and Dagger." Mitchell repeated as he settled back into the chair. "Just what is going on out here?"
