    The station merchant area was fairly crowded as the Firegon man made his way to his destination.  Fortunately, most of the beings wandering around were pretty clueless to the others around them,  If not, surely someone would have reported his presence on the station and that would have raised an alarm.  The Firegon were not noted for mingling with... Federation citizens.  Even the thought of it, turned his stomach.  He wanted to find out if this was the right station, and get off it as quickly as possible.
    He entered the shop, he was looking for.  It was a small Ferengi eating establishment.  From here had had an excellent vantage poin to watch the main turbo-lifts.  According to his sources, they should be coming along very shortly.  He ordred something simple from the Ferengi menu, and waited.  His waiting paid off.

    "But Momma," a seven-year-old boy of mixxed heritage was complaining, "Chief Barnes said Ah could come an' help with the repairs on Shuttle 03!"
    "I don't care what the CHIEF told you, young man," the boy's mother informed him, "You will come to your sister's recital and LIKE it."
    The woman was dressed in a Starfleet uniform.  She was ushering the boy through the crowd, along with what appeared to be his twin brother, and younger sister.
    "Ah'm gonna go," the boy grumbled, "But Ah ain't gonna lahke..."
    The Firegon wasn't certain why it happened.  He knew the chances of it were very slim, but nonetheless, he and that young boy locked eyes.  The boy had glanced into the shop, looked away, then looked back very quickly.  Then he saw the boy's eyes open wide, and his mouth dropped open.
    "FIREGON!" the boy shouted. He turned to his mother.  "Momma!"  He pointed back to the shop.  "Momma, there's a Firegon on the station!"  When he looked back tot he shop, the Firegon was gone.
    "Will you stop it!" his mother insisted.  "You are not going to get out of this recital."
    "But Momma, LOOK!" 
    The woman stopped, and glanced in the direction her son was pointing.  All she saw was a confused looking Ferengi inside the shop.  "Move it, Young man."
    "But, Momma!  I saw,..."
    "A Ferengi," his twin brother commented.  "We are too far from Firegon space, you know that the...."
    The other boy's voice was lost in all the other noise in the merchant area, as they traveled farther away from the Firegon agent.  But he had the information he needed.  This was, indeed the station where the family of the greatest enemy to the Firegon Union lived.  It was coming time to make him pay for his crimes.  It was time to put the plan into motion.
