It's clear that the Devidians are more of a problem than we initally thought.

We know they're in the Neutral Zone. Now we know that they're on Drozana Station as well, and according to Ze'mara there have already been deaths there. In addition, she indicated that the lower levels of the station were a trouble spot.

Those levels aren't used as part of the club there, and they haven't been maintained for years. And the Ferengi are, of course, quite reticent to put any effort into any maintenance that isn't absolutely necessary. That means we don't really know what's down there.

Ze'mara's code should get you access. Take a lift down and check it out. Previous Starfleet encounters with Devidians have indicated that they will create "nests" around the temporal portals they use, so keep an eye out for anomalies. If we find the portal, we'll know where -- and when -- the Devidians are feeding.

Oh, and I expect it to be messy down there. Don't forget to take an emergency beacon.

I have access to Starfleet records of encounters with Devidians that have indicated that they will create "nests" around the temporal portals they use, so keep an eye out for anomalies. If we find the portal, we'll know where -- and when -- the Devidians are feeding.

[] Goal
