Male Voice, obviously pissed: And I do not take kindly to idiots stalling for reinforcements. Now, if Mrs. Samantha Allington is present aboard your station, get her to communicate with us. You have one minute to do so, or else we attack.
*The hail cuts out.*
Commander: Get me the President.
*Briefing Room. Sam is watching the situation on the holo-table as the comm comes through.*
Sam: I heard them, Commander. Patch me through down here.
Commander *Over Comm*: Yes, Ma'am.
*Sam turns to the viewscreen, standing up as the transmission comes through.*
Female Voice: We propose that, in light of the recently discovered hostile alien species, D.I.S, T.I.H, and the Republic have a ceasefire. And form a temporary Triple Entente against these villains, as they threaten all of our lives and fortunes.

Female Voice: If you call off the reinforcements coming, we will simply leave. But other forces in position will strike at key parts of the Republic military, and open the doorways to the Milky Way for those willing to leave, and leaves those others stranded with the aliens.

Sam: I see. This isn't a proposition - it's a diktat.
Ruben: Well we should probably send out an alert and let the civvies know they can come back out now. *RUben has changed a little in his time since he has moved in with Sam. He is still carefree and protective of Sam but his hair has grown back to a normal level and he typically wears functional clothing when he's with Sam. He is still in love with her but is willing to put those feeling aside to not potentially ruin their friendship.*

Ashley: *Walks in side and looks around. Her mechanical thing that lets her speak tries to convey her curious tone as much as its robotic voice lets it* Hello?
*Pegasus Galaxy. The Blockade Fleets leaves the D.I.S. Base.
Meanwhile, R.S.S. Enterprise. Kodiak walks into the Gym while the ship is guarding one of the Sector Hub Colonies from attack. She looks around, as if searching for Lodbrok.*

*Lodbrok is going all out on some poor security officer in the ring.*
*R.S.S. Enterprise. Kodiak watches from ringside.*
Kodiak: Get tired of getting your TRIBBLE handed to you by a jockey?
Velal: For now, let's hope it's us using them...
*He crosses his arms, locking his jaw in a thoughtful manner.*
*R.S.S. Republic*
Lodbrok: No, just wanted to hand someone else's TRIBBLE to them today.

Sam: Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
*R.S.S. Enterprise. Kodiak steps inside and helps a couple of other officers carry the knocked out officer outside the ring, before taking off her jacket.*
Kodiak: Well, I could use a workout, if you think you can take me.
Sam: Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

Velal: Hope is also the first step to victory. And recovery. And revolution. To a lot of good things, really...

Lodbrok: Not in the mood to go easy with you, Jockey...
