"I tend to agree." Zane answered. "However, at this point we are | |||
not in a position to really make demands of the Issahi nor should we if we | |||
want our fledgling relationship to grow. Of course Federation treaties | |||
direct me to return the property of a Federation member or citizen for | |||
that matter whenever such a item is found." | |||
"Well the tear is certainly an item the Bajorans will want back." | |||
Jerran replied. | |||
"So your going to return it to the Bajorans?" Krysa asked. | |||
"No, I'm going to ask the Issahi to do that." He put the empty | |||
coffee mug down. "After Jerran returns it to them." | |||
Koreth looked thoughtful. "For Jerran to return the tear would | |||
add proof to your claims that he is not of an evil race. But I do not | |||
think they will give the tear to the Bajorans so simply." | |||
"They will if they want our help." Zane replied. "Obviously it is | |||
in the Federation's best interest to help stop the Reavers now, and of | |||
course we will give aid. But with a Council divided by clans I imagine | |||
Krazich will appreciate how deadlocked such an assembly as the Federation | |||
Council can be on such an issue as possibly entering into a war to save a | |||
previously unknown race." | |||
"And you think he'll understand that a little quid pro quo of | |||
will 'grease the wheels' a little?" Kyrsa asked looking like she wasn't | |||
sure if she approved of backroom dealing. | |||
"Well I'll certainly give it my best shot...." He was interrupted | |||
by a call from the cockpit. | |||
<nowiki>[[Captain, incoming call from the FEYNMAN.]]</nowiki> | |||
"Pipe it back here." Zane turned to face the screen but made sure | |||
he left enough room for the rest to see. "Perhaps Commander Maril has | |||
found our missing shuttle." | |||
As the UFP logo flashed off the screen it was replaced by a rather | |||
haggard looking first officer. He quickly related the events of finding | |||
the shuttles trail, the battle and the possible discovery of a Reaver base | |||
in the asteroid field. | |||
"What are the Issahi doing?" | |||
<nowiki>[[A large portion of their Homefleet is moving into position to | |||
pulverize the asteroid. There has been no response from the base.]]</nowiki> | |||
Zane cringed. While the destruction might be satisfying it | |||
certainly wouldn't help answer any questions. "You're on the scene. | |||
Contact the fleet commander and explain the importance of prisoner's and | |||
intact bases. If we can turn this into a ground assault we might be able | |||
to gain some information that will help us defeat them. But this is Issahi | |||
space so ultimately its their call. Either way we'll be there in.." He | |||
looked over at Koreth who mouthed the answer. "...10 minutes. Zane out." | |||
Zane leaned over and picked up the tear, looking at it | |||
thoughtfully. "If things are going this fast their may be no Issahi to | |||
give this too." | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Just keeping the ball rolling.... | |||
Max: Sorry to hear about your relative. Don't worry about us here take | |||
all the time you need. | |||
If you do get to post before you leave have the shuttle arrive | |||
back at the FEY and then lead an away team down to take the base in | |||
conjunction with the Issahi. (or even just an NRPG saying who you'd like | |||
to go.) If not I'll set something up on Sat am. | |||
Respectfully,<br> | |||
