Mission 2: Political Betrayal Written by J. L. Galloway 11/16/2017 through
---
DFS Phoenix Transporter Room 2200 Hours
That would be great, we are beaming the prisoner directly to your brig area, Martinez out” said Dom as he got ready to leave the bridge with Audlas his chief of security.
Audlas and Dom where both on the transporter room padd. Waiting for the arrival of pirate captain. His name was Poly Burgos, a teran born citizen that turned to piracy to escape the cold reality of living in a war driven society. Everyone was reaching out for power, and he wanted to do was have a little moon all to himself that he could control.
Now he found himself on the DFS Phoenix, the ship of nightmares as some come to refer to it as. And he was surprised not to have run paths with Jim Olend, but he was starting to wonder if Jim Olend was still on this ship, he did not believe for a moment the rumors that the military captured him and where going to him for trail.
He had no idea that Dom was putting him on the same ship with Jim Olend. They were going to be cell buddies. Well if he did not talk, they were going to be. Poly walked into the transporter room, he noticed that Dom was in the room, the chief of security was in the room, along with several security officers. They were hear for his transfer.
“I’m glad you could make it Captain Poly Burgos” sarcastically said Dom.
“You know my name Captain, I am touched, at least the military databanks are good for something” smirked Poly with a big grin on his face.
“Get on the pad” demanded Audlas, as head nodded for her security officer to nudge him forward with his rifle.
“Owe, you don’t have to be so violent” said Poly.
“That was them being nice” sarcastically responded Audlas.
“They need a brush up course on how to treat prisoners” said Poly, a little annoyed at being nudged to move forward.
“I will keep that in mind” said Dom.
Poly walked onto the transporter pad.
“Chief beam us directly to the Lavie’s brig” ordered Dom.
“Aye Captain” said the transporter chief.
The team beamed off the DFS Phoenix, and materialized on the DFS Lavie.

DFS Lavie, Brig
2205 Hours
The team beamed over to the Brig area, it was pretty late in the evening. The time was around 2205. Dom wanted to secure him in the brig, and interrogate him after speaking to Captain Layton and Colonel Thorton. Finally his promotion came through.
Audlas and her team were in place, waiting for the security chief to arrive. Audlas walked over to a blank cell, “I think this cell well do nicely” she said, directly across from him was the cell for Jim Olend.
Dom smiled and said “I like this one too”
“No no no” cried out Poly.
“Prisoners do not get to choose their cells, honestly its up to the security chief of the Lavie, where you end up” said Audlas. If she had her way, she would put him in a cell with Jim Olend.
Dom and Audlas waited for a moment, they looked to the door to see who walked in.

“What do you think command is going to do with the prisoner” asked Dlanet, trying to make small chat on the bridge. Things had become a little a little quiet for the crew. He was extremely bored on the bridge, which was not a good thing. Typically there was chatter on the bridge. But it was clear that Miyoko was distracted, he wondered what the captain had discussed with her.
Miyoko had been thinking of her husband and how close the DFS Comanche was ready to be launched, it was a little strange for her to be on a new ship and away from him. But her new captain was young and tested but his first mission went without a hitch.
She felt comfortable around him, which was also a little strange, she barely knew him, but he seemed to be squared away, a good officer, an officer with a plan. She also liked what he said about her getting a command of her own.
“They are going to use him, but I wonder how the captain’s girlfriend is going to respond to the news her husband is a traitor” said Blish, who decided to take the baited question that Dlanet was trying to spark up a conversation on the bridge.
“Do you think it's wise to bring up the captain’s friend in that manner” asked Miyoko in an annoyed tone on her voice. “This is not a gossip vessel, we are professionals, let’s not forget that” said Miyoko, knowing the captain would not like that type of language.
“Yes Commander” said Blish, feeling a little bit like an idiot. That was not an appropriate conversation for the bridge, that type of bantering should be done in private, if at all.
“Do you know what are new orders are going to be Commander” asked Dlanet.
“I do not, but when we get them, the captain will let us know, probably in a staff meeting“ said Miyoko. She looked around the bridge and noticed everyone around her was quiet. She needed a conversation topic starter. “I just spoke to my husband, he tells me the new Comanche is well on schedule, they are hoping to launch in the late winter, early next year”
“That’s great, I miss the Comanche, but I know we are needed on the Phoenix, and she is starting to grow on me” said Peyla, with a smile.
Ritoy grinned, “I am to hear that, but like Peyla, I am very happy on the Phoenix, no offense Commander, but the old Comanche is gone, I want to move forward with my life.
“Non taken, I know how you feel” said Miyoko, which surprised a lot of people that she agreed with Ritoy. As much as she loved her husband the new Commanche would never replace the old. This was her chance for a fresh start. She was first jealous of her husband for staying behind.
Kourtney remained quiet, what did they know about loss, they lost a ship, she lost her soulmate. Her friendships that she had made, went by the wayside. Most people left her alone, afraid to talk to her. She was okay with the fact that most people left her alone. Her life had changed and she needed time to adapt to the new changes.
V’Lur manned her station, in her mind she was not sure what the point of the conversation was. She decided to bring a little order to chaos. “Emotional attachments to objects is very ill logical, but a lot of cultures have their relics, objects and ships they cling on to with emotional attachments, it fascinates me that evolved species still need emotional connections to objects” she pointed out.
“A little deep, Miss V’Lur” said Peyla, who felt like the comment was out of place and gave her a headache just thinking about it. She never understood vulcan logic, it seemed to be justified excuse for poor manners and rudeness in general to her.
“Just an observation Lieutenant” said V’Lur.
“So it is” said Peyla with a awkward smile, she was not really sure what to say in response.

Dom returned the Lavie, he met up with Captain Yuka Layton in her ready room. But he did not know what to expect? He had delivered the prisoner the night before for her forces or the president's forces to decide how to best use the prisoner.
Dom had not yet had a chance to report back to Senator Sarah Gillman, it was not his primary duty. He was a military officer, and Yuka Layton was his commanding officer. The issue of a traitor was a military matter, and the fact it involved Senator Paul Gillman, it was going to be a conflict for Dom.
He needed to know Captain Layton wanted to handle the situation? If it was upto to Dom, he would have him arrested and far far away from Sarah. But it was not up to him. He had to trust the galactic federation would make sure he received his just punishment for assisting a terrorist like Darius Maximus. A megalomaniac like him, sadly. Was part of everyday life.
He made his way down the corridors of the ship. He was still part of the extended crew, so no military protocols were needed for him to come and go from the Lavie. He was making his way to the bridge, he knew what was at stake with the news he was going to share. Could the senate recover, would they become paranoid and start accusing each other.
The Military needed to be care how they presented the information to them and especially to Sarah, and was she was involved? How would she respond to Dom, it was her idea to send him. He now sort of wished, she did not send him. But he went and now was the time to own up to his investigation and face her, but he would not do that without getting orders from Yuka and his chain of command, which Sarah was not technically a part of that.
***
August 28th 4566, Early in the morning.
Dom was originally scheduled to meet with Captain Layton, he had a feeling that Yuka was probably still sore at him, for doing a run around on him, and getting her promoted to a task group commander. It had to be done and he was not going to apologize for it. But in a way, it also gave Aidan a promotion, he was no longer just the DFS Lavie First Officer, he was the Fleet's strategic operations officer, by default. No one was stepping up for the role, so it got dumped on him.
Dom was told before he beamed over he would be meeting with Aidan. He knew the way to the first officer's ready room. He stood outside the door. And tapped on the intercom.
Aidan was putting the finishing touches on several reports. His gear was in corner and he looked even more menacing that usual in his level two of his power armor. It was something he felt mentally comfortable in, even though it wasn't exactly a t-shirt and jeans physically. Hearing the door, he said
"Enter."
Dom walked into the room, he noticed that Aidan was preparing for his assignment. Dom had been briefed on the plan to assault Alstair IV. Despite serving two roles, his first role was still a first officer, and he was marine at heart, so it did not really surprise him that Aidan was going to lead an assault. He walked in front of Aidan's desk. "Lieutenant Commander Dom Martinez, reporting for assignment, sir, and congratulations Colonel." Said Dom, as with a big grin on his face.
"Thanks but I don't have time for brown nosing, so let's cut to the chase. Which is where you and the Phoenix come in. We have enough Firepower here to keep the fleet engaged. Your mission is going to be old school Cavalry tactics. Hit and run. Harass. Destroy and otherwise make a general nuisance of yourself. The hope that you distract them long enough for the remaining ship to hit them in the face for a knockout."
Dom liked his approach, shut up, get your orders and get out. As a former chief control flight officer, he could respect that. "Target sir" simply asked Dom, still standing at the position of attention.
"Your discretion. Something you can tag and run from that can't overwhelm you. Use your judgment. You have some, though I can't fault your ambition, the tact you use could stand some polish." He pulled up some information and handed Dom a list. "Here are a few juicy targets of opportunity. Gomak II comes to mind. Take out the eyes of their Cavalry."
"Understood, Colonel." Said Dom. Taking the pad of potential targets, he agreed with Aidan on Gormak II being a good target.
"If there is nothing else, dismissed Commander, and good luck."
"Thank you Sir." Said Dom as he left the room.
(A Joint post by Tugar and jlgalloway99)
***
After about ten minute meeting with Lieutenant Colonel Aidan Thornton, he knew what his new orders were. There was the whole of issue of Senator Sarah Gillman, but that would have to wait, for another moment. The president’s fleet was going to engage the forces of the Faith Services Fleet.
The DFS Phoenix was going to jump in and out target area, trying to pull the forces apart of the FSF Fleet. The raider style vessel was small and could make several small jumps to distract the enemy while the main assault took place.
The idea was to get the forces to split up and create holes in their defensive line. Creating enough small holes to isolate their big ships and target them with mechs, drones and fighters, in a harassing style offensive at Gomak II. This will allow the Lavie and the Providence to assault Alstair IV.
The plan was a bold one, but it was achievable to say the least. The overconfidence of the FSF in their technology would be the undoing. And the delta command forces would exploit this weakness with Trinity Fleet’s premiere starships leading the way.
First part of the plan relied on the Phoenix and the mechs to do their part. Dom knew this was a big opportunity, to prove he belonged in the captain’s chair. He was not going to let down the chief of staff or anyone else who showed faith in him.
***
Dom walked onto the bridge of the Phoenix, he noticed Miyoko sitting in his chair. He called out “Computer open a shipwide message” he called out.
“Channel opened” called out the computer.
“Today we stand ready for battle, to take the fight to the enemy. They will fight back hard. We must be ready for the long duration. Make no mistake, the course of our actions, will determine the fate of our resolve. Together we are strong, together we will overcome this crisis, and we will prevail. You’re a strong crew, a crew any captain would be proud to fight alongside. "Today we will prevail. Today will see the fruition of our long hard work and the defeat of the FSF incursion on Alister IV , our orders are to attack the long range observation post on Gomak II while at the same time our fleet will be assaulting Alister IV. We will send a message to Darius Maximus and all that support him, that the Galactic Federation will prevail at all costs. Crew of the Phoenix, battlestations.” Dom said, as he closed the communications line with the entire ship.
“Miss Audlas, signal the Lavie, we are ready to depart on their order.” Ordered Dom.
“Aye Sir.” Said Audlas, opening a channel and relaying the captain’s orders to the Lavie. She waited for confirmation and smiled as she said, “We are giving the clear, we can commence jump as soon as we are ready.” She called out, waiting for some payback. She lost a lot of good friends on the DFS Comanche, and was itching for some payback.
The crew knew their ship was going to be the distraction for the primary target, they were the decoy, assaulting the communications outpost, this will force the faith services fleet to pull some ships to investigate the attack and to repeal the Phoenix.
Dom took the center chair but did not sit down. “Dlanet, prepare for jump to Gomak II, do not cloak us, I want our drones ready to hit the outpost as soon as we drop in, so Miss Audlas be ready on the trigger.”
“Firing up all 200 drones subroutines, they were are to launch on you're orders, Captain.” Said Audlas.
“Peyla monitor the relay inputs from the firing mechanism, this is the first time we are launching them, I want no malfunctions, or screw ups.” Ordered Dom.
“I have two operations specialist standing by.” Said Peyla.
“Lieutenant Helliwell, is the target range clear of any recorded phenomenon in that the Gormak II area” asked Miyoko, deciding to chime in.
“Affirmative, Commander.” Said Kourtney, focusing on her task at the moment. She needed to be focused on the mission, she was itching for some payback, more than anyone else on this crew.
Dlanet, waited for Kourtney to complete her train of thought. “Course plotted captain.”
“Jump.” Ordered Dom.
The DFS Phoenix jumped to Gormak II, an uninhabited system, that was only being used to monitor the enemy movements of Delta Force. The Phoenix started to hum, as ordered Audlas had started up the subroutines of the drones.
“Scan the area of enemy ships” ordered Miyoko.
“One small escort carrier” said Audlas.
“Have 100 drones target the carrier the half can target the station.” Called out Dom as he took a seat. The Phoenix advanced on its primary target.
“Targets acquired.” Said Audlas.
“Fire” ordered Dom, as he watched the drones swarming out of the Phoenix. Half of them targeted the outpost the others targeted the launch bays of the carrier and its weapons array. The probes were harassing the enemy shields, creating instabilities in the shield harmonics.
“Dlanet and Audlas, attack pattern alpha, I want that communications tower taken out, yesterday.” Ordered Dom, as he sat up in his chair, watching on the main viewer as the Phoenix headed to the outpost and opened fire with its primary weapons array.
The probes were swarming both targets and harassing the shields and launch bays of the carrier. The phoenix was also jamming the carrier, since they were not strong enough to jamn both targets.
The plan was going according to plan. Dom was very pleased with the results.
---
FSF Cartagia, Escort Carrier.
“Signal for reinforcements.” Ordered the Cartagia’s skipper.
“Were being jammed.” said the communications officer.
“Why are we being targeted?” Asked the skipper.
“Unclear, Captain” said the First Officer.
“We still can not launch fighters?” Asked the Skipper.
“If we open the bay, the swarms target the shields, creating instability in the bays, our weapons were not designed to take on a warm, without the support of fighters.” Said the operations officer.
---
DFS Phoenix
The plan was flawless, the attack continued on the station, they purposely allowed the station to send out a signal before targeting the communications array. After about five minutes of constant attack, the shields started to weaken. The station small crew compliment was evacuating the station.
“Allow the pods to escape the carrier can pick them up shortly.” said Dom.
After a few more minutes of weapons fire, the station was starting to explode. “Have all remaining drones target the carrier.” Ordered Dom. “Helm adjust our heading, we are going to knock down the carrier a little before we jump out.” Ordered Dom.
“Coming to course 45 by 5, Captain” said Dlanet. The Phoenix left the blast radius in a hurry.
It was pretty amazing to see several drone ships swarming the carrier.
“Target the port bay doors for the fights, let’s cause some chaos.” He said with a grin.
“Yes Captain.” Said Audlas, as the Phoenix, started to target the bay doors. The doors caved in due to the constant bombardment of weapons fire, and decompressed the bay, and damaged several fighters and shuttles.
“Our work here is done, recall the drones and prepare to cloak us. ” Ordered Dom.
“Captain, I am detecting several FSF ships on long range sensors” called out Audlas. As the sensors detected the incoming warp signatures.
“Eta on their arrival” asked Miyoko.
“10 minutes.” Said Audlas.
“Time go then,” Dom said with a grin. The Phoenix jumped out of the area and to the safety of the Galactic Federation. The Phoenix activates her engines and jumps out. The scene ends.

Dom and Miyoko were both on the bridge, the Phoenix had barely jumped back to the Alstair IV System when they received a call from the president. Inviting him and his first officer to a meeting aboard the DFS Providence.
After the call ended, Dom looked to Miyoko, "You heard the president, if you will excuse me, I am going to replicate a dress uniform for the ocassion, Peyla you have the bridge. I suggest you do the same Commander." Said Dom as he looked to Miyoko.
"Aye Captain." She said relunctantly. She left the bridge with the Captain. They were both in the turbolift. "Deck 2," called out Miyoko, crew quarters for the senior staff.
"Not sure how President Carain thinks we are going to much help, we are the troops on the front lines, not politicians." Suggested Miyoko.
"Sometimes you need the perspective of the front line troops, when your making political decisions that have universal impact." Suggested Dom in response to her question.
"Perhaps Captain." She said.
"Part of our job is diplomacy, meeting new aliens so in a small way, polictical arena nonsense can be seen as an extension of diplomacy." He teased with a big grin.
Miyoko looked at him with a frown. "Good, your joking." She said, which made her laugh. He meant that as humor.
"Trinity Fleet is the presidents fleet, I have a feeling as long as we are part of Trinity Fleet, we will be called into a lot of meetings with the president, relax number one. I will do most of the talking for us." Said Dom, realizing that both of them did not want to be at the meeting.
"Thank you Captain." She said with a big grin.
The turbolift doors opened. "I'll see you soon, number one." Said Dom.
"Do you mind if I ask you a personal question, Captain?" Asked Miyoko, not sure how to bring up the conversation of Senator Sarah Gillman. She started to walk down the corridor.
"Let me guess the Senator?" He asked, thinking he already knew the question. He first wanted to address another concern of his. "Do you think we can be less formal in private, You can call me Dom, instead of Captain." He suggested.
"Would you prefer that?" Miyoko asked.
"I would." He said.
"Okay Dom, yes my question was regarding Senator Gillman of Earth 2, I know your friends with her and she asked us to look into the pirate raids of Mempa. Are you going to tell her, what you found out?" Asked Miyoko.
"As soon I have a chance to talk to Captain Layton, I will notify the senator. She is not in our direct chain of command. Plus do we want to be the ones to tell her, that her husband is being accused of being a terrorist and an agent of Darius Maximus?" Asked Dom.
"Good point Dom, see aboard the Providence." Said Miyoko as they approached her room. She walked in without saying another word.
Dom continued towards his quarters, thinking how would he bring up the topic of Paul? Sarah had a right to know. He need to think about how to adress the topic, and he needed to get permission to discuss it. The ramifications of this mission was big.
Dom did notify her that they captured the pirates, but he neglected to mention anything about her husband being an agent of Darius. The scene starts to fade with Dom making it to his quarters.

Hukari had called the ambassadors whom were already on board the Lavie to meet with her to discuss Trinity, combining forces and plans from this point. She knew she would need to stay with the fleet and eventually return to Earth but she wanted to take this time to strengthen her new Special Forces Unit.
She knew she could trust Yuka and her people. She also knew based on the MSA’s involvement in the most recent battle that she could trust them, the Kiru Alliance’s Forces also sending a ship showed she could trust them… She had a group to finally make up of ships for Trinity save for the Lavie itself but would her new allies accept this role; the same went for Dom and the Captain of the Providence. In this case Hukari waned their allegiance she would NOT order her soldiers or her allies to take part in this if they did not want. Once everyone was set up in the room she spoke.
“So everyone; this battle went as well as can be expected… Before I begin explaining why you are here today does anyone have any questions for me?”
Yuka had also come here and Yukari had made her way into the room as well. She figured since once Sakura and Wren arrived at the President's quarters she was not there so why not participate in this meeting herself. There would be other things to meet about later but considering all the Captain's invovled in this meeting it must be important.
Fleet Captain Dylan Gand and the Major in charge of the MACOs was there with Captain Gand serving as the Manticorian Systems Alliance rep.
Sarah Gillman was still waiting to hear back from Dom Martinez, she was waiting on the DFS Providence. She noticed the the DFS Phoenix jumped back in, but they were not in the main battle enagement, she walked into the room with Hukari and the other digniaries.
Sarah walked over to Hukari. "Madam President, its great to see you again." She said, trying to make small talk.
"If Darius were less of a problem I would be doing better Senator Gillman but as is life; or mine at least..." Hukari said sort of shrugging off the annoyance of Darius taking planets "randomly".
Dom walked in wearing his dress uniform. He was not really fond of the uniform. He came in with his first officer, Miyoko Yarrington. She was also in her dress uniform as well. Dom noticed Sarah in the room, talking with the President. He wanted to talk to Sarah, but Captain Layton had yet to give him permission, to talk about the fact that Paul was the mole.
"Alstair IV has been liberated, we could celebrate that victory." Suggested Sarah, as she just caught a glance of Dom. He looked good in his dress uniform. She wanted to know how his mission went? But she knew he had been on a special assignment, but did not know what the mission was.
Miyoko looked to Dom. "You should talk to her." SAid Miyoko, noticing Dom, continuously observing Sarah. He turned around and looked at Miyoko. "I would love too, but we are under orders." He said.
"You can atleast say hi to her, plus I want to meet the president." Said Miyoko, wanting to meet the President.
Hukari brings order to the room by speaking again. "So as everyone here knows I am Hukari Carain President of the Galactic Federation. The rest of you likely do not know each other though... So... introduce y ourselves." Her first glance was at Yuka whom was purposefully placed at the left end of the room. Yuka tilted her head thinking to herself. "Wait... I'm off-duty I just came ot see what was going on... damn you... oh welll.... Might as well since I'm here." Yuka then said. "I'm Yuka Layton; I command the
Dom shook his head no, he motioned for Miyoko to sit down at the table. He put both of his hands on the table and listened to what Hukari had to say. He noticed Sarah sitting down as well.(edited)
Gand straighten himself up to his full height of six foot six. "I am Fleet Captain Dylan Gand, commanding officer of the Manticorian Systems Alliance Fleet Starship Challenger and overall commanding officer of all MSA units in this conflict." He said in a respectful tone. "I will represent Senator Krinn of the Alliance in this matter."
Gand then indicated the man next to him, "This is Major A.M. Weaver, he is in charge of all the Alliance ground based operations for the Alliance here."
Major Weaver simply nodded, his dark eyes going over to Yuka and regarding bher with a concerned look for the briefest of moments before his entire expression became unreadable again.
"Lieutenant Commander Domingo Martinez, Commander of the DFS Phoenix, attached to Trinity Fleet" He said as he went on "this is my first officer, Lieutenant Commander Miyoko Yarrington" he said pointing to her.
"Sarah Martinez Senate represenative and Senator of Earth 2." said Sarah, as she took her turn.(edited)
Yuka tilted her head over at the Major. She still had no idea who he was but he again seemed like he knew and cared about her. Who was he.
After the others had introduced themselves Yukari stands and says simply; almost as simply as Sarah responded. "Lady Yukari Solaros Commander of the Hentori Space Forces and Ambassador to the Federation." She then seated herself again her sword still at her side like always.
Hukari nodded at the group "Right then... Have you all heard of Trinity?" She asked knowing they all had but wanting to get an understanding for the people in teh room.
Gand shook his head slightly.
Dom had never formally had attended a state function at this level, it made him uncomfortable, however he wanted the fast track to command and to change the way we fight the war. He sat in silence waiting for Hukari to move the meeting forward. He shook his head in agreement to the president's question.(edited)
The major on the other hand simply nodded as a slight smile cracked onto his face.
Sarah knew of the fleet, she smiled and nodded her head yes. She tried not to look at Dom, but she wondered how his mission to the Mempa System went? She knew he went there a few days ago, and he just came back from an undisclosed area.(edited)
"Alright so... we have some new members to the Federation here... Now Trinity's mission is to be the sword and shield; sort of our final defense and act as my personal enforcers... We are looking to expand its operations... After this battle I am sure you see a need for such a thing?" She asked looking at each of the people in the room.
Gand didn't say anything but looked at the Major who simply shrugged before the fleet captain turned back to regard the president.
Yuka raises her hand. Hukari looks over at her and she then says. "Um... So; I'm off duty and it seems like this meeting is for diplomats... Why am I here?" Hukari smiles at Yuka. "Because I asked you to be."
Yuka stops talking
Dom shook his head in agreement and so did Miyoko, meanwhile Sarah was listening in closely to what Hukari was saying. Dom smiled when he heard the president put Yuka in her place.(edited)
"How do you think we should expand Trintiy?" Hukari then asked the group hoping to get more out o them then just being yes-men and women.
"Beyond the obvious," said Dom, as he took a breathe. "We need to seek volunteers and think more outside of the room, people like Captain Layton, Colonel Thornton, Commander Carain are a good start. But we need more starships and commanders willing to step up and create new ideas, the type of ideas, we would never consider."(edited)
Gand shot a disapproving look at the Phoenix's "captain" at his smirk before he returned his attention to the president.
"Hence Ambassador Mika coming to us..."Yukari finally said referring to her world's visit by the Federation's Ambassador.
"Though the comment about he people in this room was a bit mouch; you have the correct idea... Adding adidtional personnel, ships and ideas to the fold is indeed the point. Thank you Lady Yukari, Captain Marteniz. So what would you all say to contributing something to the greater good then ladies and gentlemen?" Hukari said; it was not a question she was making a statement as if prodding them alll to give of themselves for the greater good.
Dom was curious how the Ambassador was going to respond, and if Yuka would speak up again. He was the junior captain in the room. She lead Trinity Fleet. Meanwhile Sarah was sitting back and listening, so was Miyoko as well.
The major leaned forward, "The alliance has six major shipyards capable of producing capital ships, plus a specialized yard for more..unique cases." He explained in a simple tone. "If that helps, ma'am?"
"Alright; but for now to expand our forces at this moment..." "You have the Iris my lady."Yukari said to her assuming she was getting at the people here proving their aligence ther.
Yuka whisled a tune in her head; this meeting seemed like id did not need her.
"Capital ships are not the only answer, we need smaller vessels like raiders, drones, fighters, mechs to fill in the gaps, the Phoenix, just recently kept a single carrier off balance, with our last mission. We destroyed the primary target and left the carrier in shambles with 200 drones." pointed out Dom, wanting to prove his point. "Capital ships are a must, but we need more ships, support vessels, cruisers, and small craft."
"More than ships though Commander we NEED quality people... We cannot fill our ships with cadets."
"We were in and out within 10 minutes, before the FSF could call for reinforcements. " Said Dom, proud of his crew. The crew luckily was well a combat experienced crew, with a new captain.
Yuka finally spoke "So what you are saying while beating around the bush is you want everyone here to serve is that it?" Hukari looked back at her scowling at the girl but she nodded.
Yuka pulls out knife; cuts throught eh politics
Miyoko shook her head in agreements to Hukari comment.(edited)
"Do we have a choice, Captain Layton?" Asked Dom. He went on looking at everyone in the room, "this was war going badly, we need all capable officers to put aside personal ambition and fight for a greater good! The President's ideals are just and sound."(edited)
Sarah debated on chiming in. But Dom had a point. She was not a soldier, she was a politician. But his point was crued and straight to the point.
"I cannot order you to do anything though Commander that is why this meeting is even happening... The same goes for everyone here." Hukari replied.
Gand shook his head, "One can point out the negatives, kid, so how about one focuses on the positives instead?" He counterpointed the younger man's "point". "We have a means of producing ships and a need for a cadre of trained officers and crew..wars are not always won in the field."
Hukari looks over at Yukari whom spoke when given permission now. "She requires a multidiciplinary force as Major Gand just stated... She wants your permission to assign you to her force... As I already said Madam President... You have our sword... It would be an honor for the crew of the Iris to serve you."
"He has a point, Commander and Madam President, this fight will be fought on several fronts, the front lines, the political arena, the individual worlds. Darius allowed his personal ambitions to think he was the universal answer to the galactic civilizations poltical issues. We need to find new officers, train them, have them join your fleet. Trinity Fleet is a good start, we need to expand on it." Chimed in Sarah.(edited)
Major Weaver couldn't help but chuckle as he looked up at the now "Major Gand"
"So thats one..." Hukari thought. Yuka smirked. "Aren't we already in Trinity..." Hukari looked over at Yukari again noticing the mistake on his rank. Yuka Hukari and the now informed Yukari all seemingly chuckling internally at Weavers comment.
"Only way to solve personal ambition is to seek ways to destroy them, the president's ideals of a perfect utopian, holding ourselves to a higher ideals is a good first step, it will limit power mungers like Darius, from ever rising to power again." Sarah suggested. She felt like the topic of the political rank was taking away from the directive of the presidents vision.(edited)
The major simply looked over at the woman and said "Do you not hear a call to arms when it is called?"
The major motioned with his left hand at the president, "She's wanting us to come together for something bigger and you bunch are arguing AWAY from the bloody point!"
Weaver then looked up at Gand, "and you wonder why I turned down being a colonel?"
Yuka sighed internally. "This is why I don't like rooms full of politicians..." She thought to herself as it seemed an argument was about to brew.
"The call of arms is part of the issue, as you said earlier, we need to look at all aspects, what is the point of Trinity, to take the fight to Darius, but what is its overall goal, to bring peace, sadly through force of arms. The President has a vision, one that could end ambition." Said Sarah.(edited)
"And a call to arms does not mean weapons... As the Kiru Ambassador said multi-diciplinary." Hukari retorted(edited)
"The Senator is right, I believe in the idea of a perfect utopian, sadly in war, everything is a weapon. Even our own ideals." Said Dom. He was not proud of that fact.(edited)
"We need to find away to convince others to volunteer to join Trinity, to see the bigger picture, we need people to put aside personal ambition and fight for something greater than their next position of power. I am open to ideas, as I am sure the president is?" Said Sarah looking around the room.
Yuka clears her throat. "K... So I get two of the people in here are talking heads but seriously; there is only room for one... Lat me translate what the Senator and Presdient are walking over each other in this room on... You the folks in this room helped fight this war; we want you to join our fleet and help us stop further war. Do you accept; Yes or no..." Yuka said matter of factly resting her head on her hand while resting her arm on the table.(edited)
The major allowed himself a smile before Gand nodded slowly, "If we didn't want in, we would not be here." The tall man said as he motioned to himself and the major. "Senator Krinn sent a small but elite task force here as proof of that."
"You can count on Earth 2, to continue to contribute people to this war, it's our hope we can change the face of the galaxy, not for ambition of power, but for the betterment of all mankind, and all species" said Sarah, allowing her political jargan style approach take over.
Hukari looks over at Dom seeming to be looking for an answer from him; his ships first mission was only a trial run. She wanted to know if he wanted to continue.
Dom noticed the president looking at him and Miyoko. He smiled but remained quiet, he had nothing more to offer, his senator was on a role! Not much more he could offer, that she had neglected to mention.
Yuka notices the staring contest. "Alright..." She stands up and goes to the middle of the table. "So Gillman says we have the support of funding and personnel from the senate. Gand says his ships will stay, Solaros says her ship is here, I'm not going anywhere... So Provy Captain and Commander?" She points at Dom. "She wants an answer."(edited)
"The Phoenix is ready to serve, my crew stands ready. We will fight the good fight. We are not going anywhere. We are ready to fight, and watch Darius fall." Said Dom as he looked to Yuka. With a cold stare now at her. It was clear, they were sizing each other up.(edited)
Hukari pats Yuka on the head. "This is why you will be such a great commander for Trinity." "Eh" "Effective August 28th 4566 you; Yuka Layton; are hereby appointed to the Office of Commanding Officer of Trinity Special Operations." Hukari says to her.
Yuka stares at her. " You're insane..." "No... You helped lead a fleet into battle, saved a planet and can coordinate these meetings better than us politicians can. I'd say that qualifies you for the job." The two make eye contact.
Dom smiled, he had hoped that Hukari was going to do this. It was part of the goal he and Sukara had planned for Yuka. Despite her ill feelings for Dom, she was a great military commander, and he would trust no one else in that role, well not at first. But he trusted Yuka. His smile was a half smirk but a 100% sincere!(edited)
The major's gloved right hand creaks as he makes a tight fist as Gand nods with approval at this. "It's a fair assessment, she didn't use any flowery words." He said, putting a voice to his approval.
"Alright then each of you will be sent your orders... You all will make the Federation most proud with your work. I'll be in touch." Hukari headed out of the room after that. Yukari nodded then got up and left herself.
Yuka really needed a drink now. She hurriedly leaves before anyone could stop her heading fo the lounge.
Sarah got up and left the room, after giving a small bow. Dom and Miyoko stayed in the room.
The others had left, he looked to Miyoko.
Gand nodded and tapped the major on the shoulder while giving him a questioning look at which point the major simply nodded and headed out of the door that Yuka had used as the fleet captain left the other way.

The fight was now over, the meeting was now over. There was only one thing left to do. Dom needed to talk to Senator Sarah Gillman-Sanchez of Earth 2. At the moment though Dom was still in the room with Miyoko. She could tell that Dom was struggling.
“You need to tell her, Captain.” Said Miyoko. Her tone was direct and to the point.
“I know, number one.” He said, looking at Miyoko, his eyes were lost, on what to say. He was asked to do this, and now he reported back to Sarah, on what he found. But how do you tell someone you once cared about that her husband is a traitor.
“Anything I can do to help, let me know.” She said.
“Appreciate the support, but this is something I have to do on my own.” Said Dom.
“Prep the Phoenix for jump, we will be leaving shortly.” Said Dom.
“Where to Captain?” Asked Miyoko.
“Earth, we are dropping off Senator Gillman and Senate House Leader Candor.” Said Dom. He was not happy about playing taxi service, but it was more convenient for trinity fleet to dispatch the Phoenix over the Lavie or Providence.
“Aye Captain.” Said Miyoko. She had no idea that the senators were coming aboard, but it made sense. Dom would have to talk to Sarah, what better way than aboard the Phoenix, being taxied home. She debated about saying anything else, she knew the captain, needed time to process it all.
“What did you think of the meeting?” Asked Dom.
“Insightful.” She said, not wanting to say what was really on her mind.
Dom chuckled, he knew what she meant. “Same for me, our first taste of politics.” He said, wanting to strangle Yuka, for lack of professionalism in the meeting. She was going to need to work on that. She was going to be promoted to Commodore and assigned the fleet.
Dom was partially to blame for this. He and Sakura were in part responsible for that. He was not going to apologize for that, despite her lack of diplomacy skills, she was a great officer, and military strategist. “I hope Captain Layton, gets over her hatred for me soon.” He softly said.
“I noticed a little hostility.” Said Miyoko. She was curious what that was all about. “Anything I need to be made aware of, captain?” She asked, hoping Dom would open up.
“The war is not going as favorably as we would have hoped. We needed to make drastic changes, I was part of phase one of special project called the Calton Initiative, a project, we knew after a few days it was going to fail, so I pushed for us to be bumped to phase two. The Phoenix Project. Smaller ships packed with drones, designed for hit and run tactics, after our victory at Gormak II and Memporia, the president fully backs phase 2, but we need a leader for trinity fleet and Yuka is now it. ” Said Dom, realizing that he was probably talking her ear off a little.
“Were going to change the tide of war, we have a mission, a purpose a goal. Project Phoenix will be a success, Captain.” Said Miyoko, trying to motivate them both up a little.
“I know the crew will.” Said Dom, as he got ready to stand up. “Let’s head back to the Phoenix.”
Miyoko stood up as well and began to walk towards the transporter room of the DFS Lavie. And Dom followed closely behind her. Being silent most of the way to the transporter room.
***
“It’s about time you showed up.” Said Sarah with a teasing voice.
“Sorry for the delay Madam Senator.” Humbly said Dom. Sucking up a little, in his tone.
Sarah knew his boyish charms and what sucking up meant. He was going to have bad news for her. She wondered what was going on, what did he find at Memporia?
“Are you both ready to beam over to the Phoenix?” Asked Dom, as he motioned for her to step up on the transporter padd.
Sarah walked onto the padd, she reached up with her hand for him to take it and help her up on the padd, it was more protocol than practical reason. “I am ready.” Said Sarah, with a stone cold look on her face. She walked over to the one of the pads on the transporter. Dom walked over to the padd near her. He looked to the transporter chief. “Energize, Chief.” Called out Dom.
Within a matter of seconds the materialized on the DFS Phoenix, and Dom offered a hand to help Sarah down. She was capable of doing it on her own, however it was more of a politeness thing, for a high ranking dignitary, and a little sexiest thought Dom, but who was he to argue with Sarah?
“If you both will accompany me to the conference room, we should talk.” said Dom as he looked to over Miyoko. “Commander Yarrington, jump us to earth, I will see you tomorrow” Said Dom, knowing he should probably do this on his own.
“Yes Captain.” Said Miyoko as she headed to the bridge and he headed to a small conference room near the transporter padd. She was grateful the captain spared her the unpleasantness of telling Senator Gillman her husband was a traitor.
Sarah, Candor and Dom made their way into the conference room. “It will not take long for us to jump to Earth, so I will make this brief.” Started off Dom, as he took a deep breath.
Sarah wondered what was on Dom’s mind. What did he discover from the pirates that were menacing the Memporian Government?
“Let’s cut to the chase, no red tape nonsense, what did you discover Captain?” Asked Sarah, wanting to get straight to the reason, why Dom asked her to be in this room with Candor.
“Okay, you're husband hired Captain Polycom to menace the Memporian Government.” Flatout said Dom, not beating around the bush.
“You're certain of this?” Asked Candor.
“I am,” said Dom. He went, “Computer playback interrogation of Captain Polycom.” Ordered Dom.
Sarah and Candor both watched the video, it did not take very long.
“That son of a bitch,” called out Sarah, in a very angry tone.
“Do you want my forces to arrest him,” asked Dom looking to Sarah and Candor.
“YES”, yelled out Sarah, with anger, betrayal and passion in her voice.
“No,” Started off Candor.
“What?” said Sarah in a demanding tone of disbelief.
“If we arrest him now, we can not stop the mole infestation in the senate, we need to see how deep the rabbit hole is, to quote a classic earth book.” Suggested Candor.
“You must be kidding? How can we allow the senator to have access to the senate floor, and keep transmitting state secrets to Darius, will we will never stop the infestation if sit idly by and track down each source. I saw we arrest him, seize his files and rip through them, and discover who the mole is. ”
“There is logic to Senator Gillman’s conclusion, I believe we should arrest him. ” Said Dom, defending his friend. He agreed, letting Darius get invaluable secrets was wrong, nothing could justify that.
“Then let’s go for it.” Said Candor, who was a little concern, arresting him now, would only place a band aid on the issue. There was a mole in the senate, and he wanted to know who it was.
Dom tapped on his combadge. “Senior Staff, report to the conference room on deck 3.” Ordered Dom as the scene starts to fade.

"Senator Candor and Gillman, have asked for us to assist in arresting Senator Paul Gillman." Said Dom, as he looked around the room.
"You can count on my team to be ready," Said Audlas as she looked to Sarah, she could tell that the senator looked pissed off.
"Thank you, Lieutenant." Said Senate Leader Candor of Andoria.
"We are not sure how far the treachery goes, once the senate catches wind, we are going to arrest, we could be looking at civil unrest, he does have supporters in the senate." Said Sarah, with anger and passion in her voice.
"Orders are to arrest him at all cost, we want him to stand trail for his crimes, a message needs to be sent." Said Candor. People like Paul needed to be held accountable for his actions. Not hide behind diplomacy and corruption.
"I have sent word to Captain Layton and President Carain, they will assist us, if we need it. " Said Candor.
"What is our mission, Captain for those not apart of the security team?" Asked Peyla.
"We will be at tactical alert, expect the senator to flea, we need to be ready to catch him. if he fleas." Said Miyoko.
"Everyone will have padd with their particular parts to the mission, we have one shot at this folks." Said Dom.
The scene starts to fade.

Short Story: New Allies and New Friendships
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
Federation Political Post
<START SIM>
Sophie was summoned to the capital for a meeting with one of the members of the oversight comittee. She entered an office after being cleared through security. In this office was a mid-forties man whom just nodded. "So Captain... The committee has approved Captain Layton's appointment to flag; as much as we hate the iea of a child being flag shes proven herself." "I figured you guys would make that decision..." Sophie replied as she sent a VX message off. "Good then; on with the discussion on deployments and such..." The two go into a discussion that would take hours.
Meanwhile in the senate chambers the chief of the senate called a session to order.
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
The Senate chair looks around the room. Some of the senators wre not there but there was enough to call things to order. "Good morning gentlemen; ladies... Any pressing matters before we begin our arguments on today's topics."
OCC Notes: The chair is a Klingon now if I remember right
Meanwhile outside the main security gate a shuttle lands. It stays here for way too long; sending guards to deal with it would be stupid and typically what terrorists would expect. So they send an unmanned mech to investigate.
DocReno - 01/13/2018
The senator that represented the sector block for the so called "Solarian League" simply sat in his chair, looking quite annoyed at the appointment of a child to that of a flag Officer.
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
The security mech finds a bomb inside the shuttle and the security gate seals the enterence. It was far enough away that it would not affect operations inside the buildings but security was heightened. More personnel were called in.
Tugar - 01/13/2018
An older female Senator from Earth spoke up. "I suspect that for many of us — more than we might think — it feels somehow off to picture a woman Captain sitting in the Command chair of starship. It's discordant to hear a woman's voice booming forth. She's obviously capable. But if we disregard her gender, how many of you would shut up."(edited)
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
More guards come and walk up to the security checkpoint. four of them pull out their weapons and kill their comrades moving their bodies out of the way to not raise an alarm.
The senate chair nods seeing her response then says "I do believe gender has nothing to do with the assignment of the recent flag officer by the commitee on military oversight." Another senator then stands. "I have something else to address to the floor; your complete incompetence and lack of anything resembling a brain mister chairmen..."
DocReno - 01/13/2018
The senator for the League stood up, disgusted at what he was hearing. "If you will pardon me, I have better things to do then be insulted by a child in chair of a warship and one talking down to me here."
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
"Order" the chairmen demands.
Tugar - 01/13/2018
The older female shot back. "I bet your wife feels the same way."
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
"I move for a motion of immediate removal of the so called chairmen..." She man who said he did not have a brain then added.
DocReno - 01/13/2018
The League senator simply was shaking his head. "When this august body wishes to take matters SERIOUSLY, please contact me...until then, good day." he said simply before he started to make his way to the door, his security detail following.
Tugar - 01/13/2018
One of the senatorial bodyguards see the shootings and draws his own weapon, fires in the general direction but is cut down (rolled a 3)(edited)
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
The senator whom threw the brain insult drew a gun. When the League senator tried to open the door it was sealed. "I believe the correct response to that was Aye..." He shoots the chairmen in the head. "You all are useless symbols of a new government that cannot support itself!" Meanwhile outside the Leauge senator can hear phaser fire. Security comes in through the back door and draws their weapons and a firefight begins on the senate floor between the senator, his security and the capital police. The Leauge Senator's security moves in defense of the man. One of the capital police transmits a communication. "control station one emergency... gate four is not responding, shots fireed on the senate floor and in the main hall... Requesting assistance." The transmission does not go through.(edited)
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
A capital police officer enters the room Sophie and the other senator are in and aims his gun at the senator only to be taken down by Sophie... A normal cop against a special forces tactical specialist... Sophie takes the cop down easily. The senator pulls out an emergency communication device but is unable to get through. "What on Earth... I can't get a line out... Why was security-" "I believe the better question senator is who is invovled in tis and where your personal security detail is..."
jlgalloway99 - 01/13/2018
Sarah was frighten by the aggressive response from the traitors. She feared for her life. She tried to keep her composure.
She stayed in the background trying to corporate with the radicals. She wondered if they would make it out alive. She heard shots.(edited)
DocReno - 01/13/2018
The League senator shook his head, "Son either shoot me or let me get drunk enough that I can forget this useless excuse of a government."
Tugar - 01/13/2018
Three of the older senators that had prior military experience, huddle close to one another and flip over the heavy table and prepare to engage.
jlgalloway99 - 01/13/2018
She was being escorted off the floor. By a small security detachment. Mishel stayed to buy her some time to flee.
"We need to contact Delta Command. " Said Sarah.
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
The senators whom were part of this stand as others have scattered. Some o fthe capital police also shoot their allies. The leader of the capital police whom was the one on the radio is shot in the back of the head. "I beleive the Leauge senator has the right idea only he does not unerstand what he should do... This government is useless... We must return to the old ways.
jlgalloway99 - 01/13/2018
The guards nodded as they worked on escaping the senate building. They where heading to in disclosed bunker.
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
Meanwhile Sophie and Senator Kepler leave the office and find a bunch of bodies. It looks like they gassed this office. The two make their way out to the hall. Captail police are fighting each other.
jlgalloway99 - 01/13/2018
How bad was the fighting. Senate chairman was dead, Sarah was in Ascension for house leader. At the moment she needed to escape to preserve democracy.
The Captial police whom just killed their allies look around the room. "Senator Gilman, Senator Ekers... step forward; you dont want us to find you in this mess otherwise you won't like the result..."
jlgalloway99 - 01/13/2018
This fight was far from over. Even if the radicals won today. They would reclaim the senate.
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
Senator El'Redar's security comes out of a back room iwth him as they were looking over archives. His guard hurriedly pushes him back inside the door and seals the dor locking the two of them in the back archives room of the senate hall hoping the corrupt police did not notice them.
DocReno - 01/13/2018
The League senator liked what he was hearing and smiled as he sat back down willingly. "Please continue, son. You now have my full and undivided attention."
jlgalloway99 - 01/13/2018
Sarah continued to flea with her personal guards. But at what, . people were dying for her. To allow her to escape. She felt guilty.
Tugar - 01/13/2018
"Senator Boxer screamed. "Of course you'll listen you misogynistic bastard."
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
Sophie and Kepler help the non-corrupt captail police and make their way to the back door enterring getting into a firefight with the evil capital police while a seperate team takes Kepler through a back enterence out to a waiting evac shuttle that was loading all those who were not the enemy or not on the senate floor to leave.
Though noone can still get an outside line.
DocReno - 01/13/2018
The League senator simply looked over at the other senator. "My dear I am anything but that... however our so called president refuses to accept the pure and simple fact that she has failed and became the very corruption that she herself accused others of doing."
DocReno - 01/13/2018
The senator then did a dismissive motion. "Think about it...where is your precious president, probably off having another...what is the phrase again, ah yes.."
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
"Carain is no the problem; indesisive corrupt people like you are..." One of the other senators said as a gun was pointed at him.
DocReno - 01/13/2018
The league senator then fixed Boxer with a hateful glare. "Hukari's on a booty call."
Tugar - 01/13/2018
"I'll take a booty call over sedition you traitor. " Boxer offered.
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
Sophie and four Capital Police Officers in tactical gear walk into the senate hall as they return fire against the police whom wre in the room trying to shoot senators. THe one aimed at that senator was shot in the head by their sniper whom was up on the second level. Sophie replies.
"Alright this stops here... Drop your weapons if you value your lives... I am usually not one for political discussions but is cold blooded MURDER really worth your political agenda.... You all should be ashamed of yourselves...."
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
The building's intercom then comes open. "Thie is Senator Luxer of the Commerce Comittee... We have taken over your capital I would advise surrender that is if you want to live... Unlike the occupants of that poor evaculation shuttle."
Tugar - 01/13/2018
In an less than candid tone, Boxer screams so the room can hear. "Fuck you Luxer. Make a martyr so the next 5 years will she you and your fellows criminals hunted down like the dogs your are!"
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
More Capital police enter as Sophie grabs Boxer and a couple of the others she has seen resisting and falls back out of the room with them (and Sarah) at least tring to get some of the previous government out of here. The traitor senators all look at each other as their allies enter the room and secure the senate chamber. Sophie takes the group and falls back into a transporter room. "Lets hope this still works..." She sets an evacuation transport and sends the senators to a secured room on the DFS Freedom which was in orbit completely unaware like a lot of the fleet there was even a problem. Once the senators were evacuated and and her team of capital police make another round but it seemed that either all the senators who fully supported Hukari were either dead, hostages or had already been evacuated so they return to the transporter room and return to the ship.
Tugar - 01/13/2018
( now lob in a torpedo, lol)
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
The Delta Force ships loyal to Hukari considered bombing the senate but with all the hostages and now some ships coming in defense of the capital along iwth its orgital defenses. The fleet withdraws back to earth however the orbital defense grid targets them as well. They fall back away from Earth heading for the nearest Delta Force installation.
DocReno - 01/13/2018
The league senator simply smiled. "It's not treason when you're the one who was betrayed first." Was the only thing that he said.
Tugar - 01/13/2018
"Said the guy that doesn't play well with girls in charge" Boxer added.
RisaXSeph - 01/13/2018
Once the fleet had made it to an allied base the realize the extent of what had happened. This had been planned for awhile... Planetary security isnce it was controlled by the senate was already on their side, the police and a lot of admirals had already sided with the new group. Basically Delta Force or at least what was left of it was now on its own again with Trinity and colonies who did not suppor Earths hardline stance on humans are the best. Even though for those who were not human it id dnot make sense they still prefered a more isolationist government.
Plus whomever controls the media controls how everything is spun
DocReno - 01/13/2018
The senator shook his head, "Oh give it up, it's not about gender but standing up for something and for too fucking long we have been forced to listen to someone pushing an agenda that was making Earth look like a cowardly bitch to the rest of the universe." The old man said before he pointed at Boxer. "This is not about fucking genders at ALL!"
Tugar - 01/13/2018
"You also have a short memory. Don't you remember not that long ago, when there was so much corruption with the Senate that Carain HAD to come in and clean house. Missing a few of your fellow corrupt brothers is more what it sounds like. No more porkfest spending and lack of results. At least she is getting things done. Remind us all of YOUR contribution to the effort other than hot air."
DocReno - 01/13/2018
"Yes I remember that, I also remember your precious president promising so much more of freedom this and happies that...yet I am here and where is she?"
The senator simply smiled as he then motioned at the seat of the president, empty and quiet. "She's.not.here."
Tugar - 01/13/2018
"You forgot why. The CEOs lining your pockets, who care more for money and humancentric thinking, along with restrictive policies for information dissemination ruined the UFP in the first place! She is out getting things done while you hide behind, steel, and glass, and bodyguards with no concern for anything but your own fat ass."
Tugar - 01/13/2018
"I REFUSE to sit idly by and watch you and the asshat coalition return us to the days of waste and corruption."
DocReno - 01/13/2018
The league senator sighed and shook his head. "I would rather see this government become isolated then be filled with the lies that you keep spewing like so much vomit like a bunch of college kids at a Klingon kegger!"
Tugar - 01/13/2018
"Just when the tide of the war starts turning in our favor, you and your buddies come out of the woodwork, like cockroaches in the middle of the night. I guess we know where your loyalties are. This discussion is over."
---
Dom and his team joined the Starship Radius and left the battle field while delta defense forces secured the area. Dom's primary role was to defend the faithful senate leaders.
As soon as the Radius left the area at high warp the Phoenix jumped a head and cloaked waiting for there arrival. It took the Radius a little time to catch up to the Phoenix.
"Captain there is an open hail for the Phoenix, from Senator Sarah Gillman." Said Audlas.
"Decloak and on screen," ordered Dom.
"Aye Captain." Said Audlas.
"Thank you for your assitance, Dom. I owe you one." She said feeling defeated, it had been a long day. But in the end, Senator Paul Gillman was arrested, and in the brig of the DFS Phoenix. during the confusion and choas of the attack, Audlas team was able to extract Paul, and bring him back to the Phoenix.
"We here to help the Galactic Federation and ofcourse the Galactic Federation Senate." Suggested Dom, as he went on. "I have no doubt you have a lot to figure out, and President Carain wants to interrogate Paul personally. its my hope, you will be able to put his treachery behind you and move forward with your life." He suggested, not sure what was going to happen to Sarah. He hoped she would keep her objectivity, and not go dark and have to dig herself out of the rabbits hole.
The scene starts to fade.
The End
