ON:

Mike had just come out of his Office, mug of raktijno in hand. He walked passed everyone working, saying hello and listening to any ideas, reports, complaints, or compliments they had to offer. It was just passed eight in the morning and about two days after returning to Starbase 400 from Cardassia. Mike was planning to take some time off just after noon so he, Janice, and their youngest son Christopher could go horseback riding in one of the holo-suites.

“Admiral, we’ve received word from the Romulan Republic, a fleet of three hundred and fifty ships and over ten thousand people managed to evade Star Empire patrols and the Tal Shiar and arrived at Vaun’gan a few hour ago.” Draven reported as he and Harrigan entered Ops. “The fleet included over two hundred d'Deridex and Valdore type Warbirds, several dozen Mogai type cruisers, and the rest are older Battlecruisers, cargo ships, and transports.”

Mike was thrilled, he was happy for the Romulans that wanted freedom, escaping the Romulan Star Empire.

“I thought they were called the Free Romulan Forces?” Archer asked as he gave up his seat to Gillo as his shift ended.

“They were, but this last convoy represents all of the Romulans that sought to escape the Star Empire. With their arrival, D’Tan and their leadership discussed leaving the Federation to find their own area of space but with rising tensions between the Alliance and the Typhon Pact they decided to remain a Federation protectorate within Federation space, but still changing their name to sound more official.” Draven smirked as he explained. “Of course, The Romulan Star Empire has already condemned the Federation for allowing the ‘refugees to so quickly immigrate and legally become naturalized Federation Citizens’ claiming the Federation is trying to finish what the Hobus Event started, killing off the Star Empire.”

“Oh yeah, you might like this, USS Yuzhao is redeployed to the Beta Quadrant.” Draven handed Mike a PADD.

Mike looked it over and was happy to read the news. His oldest son, K’Wor was assigned to the USS Yuzhao, an Excelsior Refit Class, as a Security/Tactical Officer now that he had graduated from Starfleet Academy.

“I know you hated to miss his and Becca’s graduation.” Draven added.

“I did, it couldn’t be helped.” Mike replied as he looked at the PADD.

“Sir, Lieutenant Hannigan has something he wants to say to you.” Draven added after a few moments.

Hannigan reluctantly stepped forward, paused a moment, then started, “Admiral Bremer…” but he was cut off by several alert klaxons.

“Admiral, incoming message from DS6. Captain Terran Andrews is reporting that there has been a terrorist attack on Tarod IX. Several Starfleet facilities have been hit. Two orbital dry docks have been destroyed, the Starfleet command center has been raided and there are reports of ongoing fire fights with an unknown number of Remans.” Commander Roebuck reported.

“Remans?” Draven asked.

“That commando team the intel report from the Free, the Romulan Republic we discussed last night!” Hannigan replied.

“We were going to update you on that this morning.” Draven added.

“Has Starbase 23 responded? They are the closes base.” Mike asked.

“No sir. Captain Andrews says two of SB23’s support ships are down for maintenance and the third, the USS Quincy is in route back to the station from Cardassia, they stayed an extra days, stopped by Bajor on the way. The Quincy doesn’t have slipstream either. He also says DS6’s ships are engaged in other operations, but he did divert the USS Atlantis to the border to check sensor arrays the tachyon grid, but it’ll take her several hours to arrive.” Archer reported.

“Tell Terran we’ll send ships.” Mike said before tapping his comm-badge. “Generals Jackson and Hurd, Doctor Hades, Commander Solomon, report to the CIC on the double.”

“Captain Andrews acknowledged your message sir.” Archer reported.

“This is an ERT situation. I want the Saratoga, Kearsarge, Ark Royal, and Mercy ready to depart in thirty minutes.” Mike ordered. "Have Generals Jackson and Hurd, Doctor Hades, Commander Solomon, and Major McDaniel meet me in the CiC."

Roebuck tapped in a few commands and sent word to the vessels named, “All four are slipstream equipped and will take them about four and a half hours to reach Tyrod IX. I checked with Tactical Operations, no other vessels can arrive any sooner.”

“Lek, I want someone from Intel to go too.” Mike asked.

“I’ll do it.” Hannigan replied quickly. 'Anything to get off this station' he thought to himself.

Mike and Lek shared a looked before Mike replied, “Alright. Gather all intel you can, work with General Jackson. I want to know if this was an act of war by the Romulan Star Empire or were they indeed separatists.”

Hannigan nodded.

“Roebuck, put the entire Area Operational Theater on yellow alert and inform Starfleet Command we’re sending a response team and that I’ll be sending them a situational report shortly.” Mike said as he headed for the turbolift. “Tactical Operations.” Mike said at the doors closed.
