"Is this a threat, Captain?" | |||
"No, sir. I am just stating that I do not think that I could send in a | |||
recommendation to the Federation Council for a planet which deliberately | |||
harbors such a device, which if unintentionally allowed to fall into enemy | |||
hands could be perverted into a most devestating weapon. In the hands of | |||
the Reavers, this Orb could be more dangerous to the galaxy than either | |||
the Borg or the Dominion ever were. And, if those two factions, not to | |||
mention the Romulans, the Cardassians, the Klingons, Tholians, or a long | |||
list of other interstellar villains ever got wind of this, there would be | |||
no stopping them. So, sir. Again, I avail upon your wisdom as the most | |||
benevolant ruler of Issah to consider our request and our reasoning in | |||
this matter." | |||
</i> | |||
The First Minister remained quiet for a few moments, deep in | |||
thought, before answering. "I would very much like to return it to you | |||
Captain. But it is not my decision, it is the decision of the Issahi | |||
people." | |||
"The people you lead, the ones you speak for." Zane replied. | |||
"Captain do you know what would happen to me if I returned this to | |||
you right now. The people would throw me out of office. They might even | |||
condemn me as a traitor." He stood from his seat and moved towards one of | |||
the rooms windows to look down on his world. "We have just won a | |||
tremendous victory both physically and spiritually. My commanders and I | |||
know how your technology made it possible. Without your help we would | |||
certainly have been defeated. But all the people will see was brave | |||
Issahi warriors overrunning an enemy base while a Federation warship | |||
watched in relative safety. We died and you did nothing." | |||
Krazich raised a claw to forestall Jerran's angry rebuke. "It is | |||
all perception true, but that is politics and if I am to remain in power | |||
it is a game I must play. And if you want an ally then your only hope is | |||
that I remain in power." | |||
"I understand what you are saying First Minister but do you | |||
understand what is at stake? Refusing us the Tear could hold up debate in | |||
the Federation Council for months. If you are to survive you need our | |||
help now." | |||
"That is true but you are in the same position. If you do not | |||
help us then you will not survive either. It may take some time but the | |||
Reavers will come for you. We must make a stand here or else fall divided. | |||
Tell that to your council." Krazich smiled at the Captain, knowing he had | |||
won this round. "But I am afraid I must leave you now. The heroes of the | |||
battle must be welcomed home." | |||
Zane and Jerran stood. "Lieutenant return to you post. Once the | |||
First Council has beamed down break orbit and head for EPSILON warp 8." | |||
"Aye sir." Jerran turned to Krazich. "Peace and long life sir." | |||
"And to you Lieutenant. Thank you for everything you have done." | |||

"Don't worry captain, your Bajorans will soon have their tear and | |||
its secrets will remain with me. Its power will not be abused." | |||
"Energize." As Zane watched Krazich faded into nothingness and a | |||
chill ran up his spine. He did not believe him. | |||

And so comes the end of an interesting mission. Thanks to all of you for | |||
your usual great writing and ideas as well as your patience with my | |||
periodic posting (I hope I win the lottery tonight). | |||
For now we're on our way home so we'll have a couple of days to interact | |||
and unwind as well as allowing our characters to meet the new CNS as well | |||
as reflect on this past mission. | |||
Can you please forward along any mission ideas and briefing scenarios so | |||
Mike and I can get the ball rolling on our next adventure. | |||
Kevin: We come up with missions by having the crew submit ideas to me. I | |||
add comments and ideas and then forward it along to Mike Dawe (CINCSILVER) | |||
who then formulates a mission based on our suggestions, whats going on in | |||
the fleet and his own ideas. | |||
Also, we have a tradition on the FEYNMAN to hold our pre-mission | |||
briefing on the holodeck in some exotic locale. So far, venues have | |||
included, the Great Pyramid, Ancient Rome and an underwater cavern. So if | |||
you have an idea please submit it as well....this is a first come first | |||
served thing. | |||
I think all of you have let me know your availabilty over the | |||
holidays and only one of you will be away for any great length of time so | |||
we should have no problems with a standard mission | |||
Any questions/problems/dilemmas let me know. | |||
Respectfully,<br> | |||
Andy<br> | |||
