Fayam was immediately approached by a pair of Cardassians wearing the attire of the Detapa Council. "That him?" one asked. The other consulted a datapad, and nodded.
"He matches the description," the other said. They both walked to Fayam. "Are you the bounty hunter, Fayam?"
The other scoffed. "He matches the description, yet you're still asking him if he is who we think he is. That's rich."

But a chance meeting between them on Drozana Station put them on the path that lead to them marrying - and having three children," Fox said. "As happy as I am with Farah, there are days I miss Krystal. But I cannot - and
