Northman: I assume you were briefed already on the next phase considering the incidents of what happened to the late Admiral. I am to replace him under a guise of course.
Kyoshi: Difficult. It would draw a lot of attention if a high-ranking admiral just appeared out of nowhere.
OOC: Also, are the current characters going to be old folks retiring/close to retiring, or are most still going to be just in different positions/ranks?

Terry: What is the fleet going to do..
Dorman: Bright is massing the fleets right now but not everyone is here.. But I don't think it is the Romulans..
Terry: It couldn't be.. The UGC outlawed the use of their Obliterator weapons as with all Twilight weaponry.
Dorman: I know. I said it was probably the beings like Sovereign...
Terry: If it is them we know the UGC doesn't acknowledge their existence. That was dropped when the off world survivors of the supernova incident...
Dorman: It wasn't a supernova...
Terry: I believe you...
Dorman: Where is your sister?
Terry: Lex is on the Citadel as a Diplomat.
Dorman: Good tell her to stay there. Look.. The conference want me to bring you in there. They know that you are the first person to be considered for the Innovator research project.
Terry: Relax.. I don't think they are going to find much.. But if they want my opinion given my name and legacy... There isn't much to say... I can only feel and hear death..

20 years later, January 23rd 2554 (okay, slightly less than 20 years, but does a month really make that much difference?).
After a year in office, evidence was bought to light of President Kyoshi's corruption, resulting in his removal from Office. The Republic and C.I.S. are now allies, the Turanian Alliance are now full members of the Republic and the Republic's colonial and exploration efforts in the Pegasus Galaxy are in full swing.
An uneasy peace has been maintained between the Klingons and Romulans for the last 15 years and war could break out again at any moment.
Sam and Matt eventually settled down on Khitomer after the war, in Sam's old hometown, to raise their family; their first daughter, born shortly after the war ended, called Danielle (Dani for short, named after Dana) who is now nineteen and their second daughter Tara, aged sixteen.
Matt is now a Vice Admiral, serving as naval liaison to the Citadel when not planetside with Sam. Dani is at the Republic Naval Officer Academy and Tara...
...is a complex matter.
Pegasus Prime, the capital of the Pegasus Colonial Government. Hood's Landing, the Capital city. A man walks into a bar in the city, wearing a navy blue jacket with an emblem reading "Torah Zhiyal" on the sleeve, and a phaser pistol holstered at his side. He steps over and sits at the bar.*
Bartender: What'll it be, Drake?
*The man - Captain Daniel Drake (no relation to Franklin Drake) looks up.*
Drake: Usual, Lex.
Bartender: You got it.
Drake: Had any trouble lately?
Bartender: Couple of brawls. Nothing major. Always keep a rifle since that Nausicaan last month.
Drake: Anything interesting?
Bartender: Nothing illegal, if that's what you're asking. If there were, I'd tell P-Sec.
Drake: I don't mean illegal. I like to stay informed.
Bartender: Well, I had a girl in here earlier - don't worry, I didn't sell her anything alcoholic. She looked a mess.
Drake: How so?
Bartender: Don't get me wrong, she was a pretty thing. She was probably... 16, 15?
In my line of work, you learn to read faces...
*He passes Drake a scotch.*
I can tell if someone's happy, sad, in love, heartbroken, all by small quirks in their behaviour.
Drake: And?
Bartender: That girl... her face gave me mixed signals; pain, loss, fear, hope, agitation...
From her clothes and the bag she had with her, I'd say she was a hopper.
Drake: Huh. Okay, thanks Lex.
*He drinks the scotch and walks out.
Elsewhere, in a nearby alleyway, a 16 year old girl, long brown hair with brown eyes, wearing a white top and black trousers, gets slammed against the wall. A group of men stand over her.*
Man 1: You think your funny, punk?! I bring you here, and you try to cheat me?!
Girl: I gave you your money, Hall!
Man 1: Tell that to my now-empty credit chit! Or are you gonna try and tell me you didn't know you account had a virus in it?!
Girl: I DIDN'T!
*She screams as they begin beating her again.*
Drake: That's enough!
*They stop, looking up to see Drake at the end of the alleyway, pointing his phaser pistol at them.*
Man 1: This is none of your business, pal!
Drake: Leave... the girl... alone.
Man 1: Well... look at Mr Bigshot over here!
Before the group can reach their phasers, Drake stuns them all before running over to the girl, blood trickling from her forehead.*
Drake: Are you okay?
Girl: *Groans*... Had worse...
Drake: I can guess.
*He looks at her bag a few meters away.*
You a hopper?
Girl: Yeah...
I came here on that Captain's ship and...
Drake: Save it. The important thing is to get you medical.
Girl: I can't afford...
Drake: I'll handle it.
*He taps his combadge.*
Drake to Zhiyal, two to beam to Sickbay.
*The two are beamed out.*
OOC: So, yeah, I'll post more tomorrow when I get a chance. This is just to get me started.
A few hours later at jehrico 7 Jacob walks into the presidents office in his full uniform
President jehiom : director Halsey glad you could make it.
Jacob: of course I could make time.
Jehiom : I need you to monitor the situation back in the milky way as you already know harper is going with 3 battle groups since all our planets here have there defense grids up.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
*Danny, his appearance is rough and mangled is on New Romulus watching his target, the former Admiral now retired Fanshu'a at a war rally... He looks at a picture he keeps in his pocket. Murmuring something he gets his rifle out follows out through the scope. *
Danny: *After he places the picture away and fires hitting the Romulan dead center mass...*
One less bad guy..
*He remembers back to the Romulan attack on Ktinga IX... closing his eyes before setting the rifle to disintegrate he sets it down and walks away. Before he leaves the Hotel... he starts coughing... then sticking a hypo on his neck to relive it. *
*USS Freedom at the border*
*Damon is sitting at his desk trying to drink and be at ease... Running the ship for the last two decades has been rough... but manageable. In the corner a picture of his sister which during his drinking binges he puts it face down...*
Damon: Damn it..
*Klingon Homeworld Wax sits back... Being the elected Chancellor is rough but manageable especially with his house growing in size... Accepting his role in Klingon affairs and being Grandson to two heroes in Klingon lore gave him much... Marrying his son off to Markon's house aided quite a bit.*
Wax: *Speaking Klingon while sending off a set of orders. * Get me Markon.
*He remembers Talikar and his death bed at least 16 years before.*
Jacob sits in his ready room as the ship heads for the citadel. He has kept to himself mostly the past few years. And sees no reason to change that right now. He pulls a small jem out of his pocket and looks at it. He hasn't used it in 20 years. Maybe its time he called on an old friend.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."

Kyoshi: Difficult. It would draw a lot of attention if a high-ranking admiral just appeared out of nowhere.
For now, you'll have to be patient.

Jacob and Granz are sitting in a outside cafe as harper wearing his admiral uniform.
Harper : well well what's it been 10 years.
Granz: at least. I left the presidency 15 years ago.
