ON:
Mike made his way to transporter room twelve to greet the Captain of the damaged Andorian freighter. Colonel Highsmith was with him. As they entered the transporter room, the Andorian Captain and two crew members with him stepped forward…
“Admiral Bremer I presume? I’m Shon, Captain of the Kezyar.” His expression was clearly one of anger. “What are you and Starfleet going to do about these Pirate attacks?!”
“Captain, I assure you we are doing everything to put an end to these raids. Pirate activity has been on the decline since we took over Starbase 400…” Mike replied but was cut off.
“Until the last few months. I guess you’ve been too busy with your Romulan buddies, while us little freighters are preyed on by those…delinquents!” Shon angrily replied.
“No one has forsakened any freighter on my watch. We are doing our best to protect you and all vessels without our space.” Mike replied, trying to keep the peace.
Shon stepped forward again, and poked Bremer in the chest, “Then your best just isn’t good enough!” Out of anger, he pushed Bremer…it wasn’t a smart thing to do.
Mike paused a moment, then grabbed the Andorian Shon, slamming him against the wall. His right forearm pinning Shon’s neck to the wall while he left arm was pressed against Shon’s chest. The Andorian looked down, his feet were several centimeters off the floor and he was unable to move. Highsmith quickly stepped between Bremer and the other two Andorians, almost daring them to make a move. Neither did…
“Do not, put your hands on me again! I know you’re angry, but be angry at them, not us!” Mike dropped Shon back to the floor and he landed on his feet with a thud. Mike took a step back, “We are treating your injured and will get your vessel repaired. One of our ships is heading into the area you were attacked now and we will increase patrols in the area.”
Shon took a deep breath, “Why doesn’t Starfleet just move into the Triangle and wipe them all out?”
“The Triangle is unclaimed space, not Federation territory. We don’t have the jurisdiction to just move in there and take over. We can patrol it’s border, respond to distress calls, defend Federation and allied ships, but we will not just march in and take over the area. It wouldn’t be a smart move militarily or politically.” Mike replied, he tried sound calm but his blood was racing…
Shon paused a moment, Mike answer what he wanted to hear. He didn’t care about politics or the military, he just wanted his ship and crew to be safe…
“I’d like to check on my crew…please.”
Mike nodded, “Colonel Highsmith will escort you to Sick Bay.”
Shon nodded and exited the transporter room, followed closely by his two comrades. As they walked out, Mike pulled Highsmith to the side.
“Keep a close eye on them, we don’t need anymore anger outburst.”
The Colonel nodded then caught up with the Andorians. A moment later, the Admiral headed back to Ops…
