negative, made him

had often
thought Bandoff would be much more comfor table in a low profile clerks
position but
with his phenomenal abilities a nd trueness of heart he had b een given no
alternative but
the very high profile position of Guardian to their Leader.
Bandoff sat up and leaned forward. "The requests grew detailed. They wanted
to
know how many women we had aboard, how they were being stored, and if all
crewmembers were accounted for and had re turned unharmed. Were there females
of
particular interest to Zorro c and if so what were thei r names and
backgrounds? In
addition, of course, they want ed to know our location, but un like our
journey to Earth,
they wanted specific co-ordinates. Is that how the Dargons located us?"
"We think so, yes," Zorroc spoke for the first time.
"I do not understand; could there have been a COM leak in our transmissions?
That does not seem possible," Bandoff stated clearly perplexed.
Ignoring Bandoff's queries, Zorroc once again took over. "Were you reporting
to
anyone in the High Council or did you have a specific contact?"
"There has been but one cont act. Dyfainius. Surely you cannot suspect him,
he
was your father's trusted advisor, the head of the High Council, the father
of your
future& " Bandoff reframed from saying what all knew. His daughter had been
chosen
to lifemate with Zorroc until the virus struc k. There would be no lifemating
between he
and Zana now. Was that a reas on to turn traitor? If Zorroc had lifemated
with Zana and
something had happened to him; rule would ha ve fallen to Zana who in turn
would have
ceded to her father. Zazu, that had to be it. Bandoff winced but did what
he considered
appropriate under the circumstances. "I re sign my commission e ffective
immediately
unless you would like to find a more fitting punishment."

"There will be no resignation Bandoff. You have compromised no one; you are
the one compromised. However, we can use this to our advantage by feeding
Dyfainius
false information as to our whereabouts and situation, Zorroc stated.
How much does he know of our flight plans and progress," Prolinc asked.
"I have not COMd him since our rescue so he knows very little. I have been
busy
guiding the women in protoc ol and Gattonian customs& and to be honest, I grew
uncomfortable relaying information to Dyfain ius and therefore, ha d put off
reporting to
him until today. Thank Zazu."
"I believe we have found your viper, Zo rroc, but why would he side with the
Dargons when there are many other species th at would like what Ga ttonia has
to offer
and all much safer to deal with. Are ther e others on the High C ouncil or
citizens that
would support him?" Rosik inquired.
Zorroc thought for a moment then advised, "The answer to that question will
come in time, for now& Bandoff, you will CO M Dyfainius and begin our
subterfuge.
Sycor will assist with false co-ordinates. Be gin to hint that I am
interested in another
woman and have lost interest in Catarina," Zorroc paused then smiled grimly.
"Tell him
that a ravishing goddess by the name of& S andra& has caught my eye and I am
having
second thoughts about continuing my alliance with Cat. Does he know that
Cat is my
mate?"
"My last COM transmitted almost four w eeks ago. I did not find out that you
were lifemated until we had seen a week on the Miramid. He cannot know
unless others
have been COMing him as well."
"There have been no COMs since the report of your rescue," Rosik explained.
"It
is standard procedure for CO M blackout until we are well aw ay from possible
detection
by the enemy and have evaluated our situation. He cannot know unless we have

among our COM personnel and the chances of that are miniscule. I think the
plan is a
solid one," he finished still clearly calculating any holes in his logic.
"Several directives must be adhered to in order to make this work," Prolinc
directed softly. "One: What we have lear ned does not leave this room,
either to our
women or any other essential party. We cannot take the chance of a careless
word. Two:
