Tara A: Your people were conquered by the Eblisi. Maybe one of you was indoctrinated.
*Persi's face screws up into a scowl.*
Persi: My people were not conquered, the city-dwellers were. Though I won't deny that there is the chance someone is indoctrinated...
*He stands and looks at her.*
Persi: But they would most likely go for something that could destroy the ship than disable the cloak. So who does that leave out?
*He looks at his companion.*
Persi: Alibaba, go start the investigations of our people. Then extend it to the Statics. We have to make sure.
Alibaba: Of course Nai- I mean Persi.
*Alibaba walks off and Persi turns to Tara.*
Persi: If there is a chance one of our people is indoctrinated, there is also a chance one of the crew is as well. Perhaps you should inform a superior?
Lasky: it is the decision of this council to withdraw all treaty's and agreements with the republic and prepare a military response should the need arise.

Colas: Tara. Now's not a great time. We just had an incident in--
Tara A: I know. I just came from there.
Persi's been framed for sabotaging the cloak. I don't know who did it, but...
Colas: Colas to Bridge. Captain, can you come down to Security? It's important.
Lasky walks out the chamber and is met by a group of reporters.
Reporter: sir can you tell us what happened in there.
Lasky: evidence brought before the council was shown to each member then a vote was held on what action we would take. Diplomatic relations with the republic have been officially severed. And we are preparing a military force should it be needed. That is all I will say at this time.
Reporters continue yelling questions as shock troopers clear a path for lasky to his warthog waiting for him. As it drives off toward cis fleet comm

*Persi nods at the warning instinctivly, and goes around trying to find all the damage. When that was done, he walked out of the room as security walked in another entrance with engineers. He moves down the hallway, lost in his thoughts.*
Lasky: it is the decision of this council to withdraw all treaty's and agreements with the republic and prepare a military response should the need arise.
*Meanwhile, I.R.W. D'tan. Vornak is sitting at his desk as a recorder hovers in front of him. He considers his thoughts before nodding to the recorder operator, as the scene is broadcast to the Allied News Services and the R.I.N.*
Vornak: Good evening. This is Praetor Vornak tr'Preston of the Romulan Star Empire.
Firstly, I would like to speak to you all about the situation we face, not today and not tomorrow. For the galaxy, there is no tomorrow - there is simply the nightmare. This nightmare is one which will never end, and which will see all our peoples, all our hopes and dreams, torn asunder. That is, until the Eblisi are destroyed - until our peoples unite against our common threat, as some of us already have.
But our problems will not end there. The Eblisi have ravaged the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. There is much we will have to rebuild... together. It will be the duty of our leaders to see to it that that is made so. We are one in our pain, our struggle, and our dream; never again.
I'd also like to extend my sympathies to those in the Turanian Alliance -
*R.I.N. Broadcast Centre.*
Tech: What did he--?
Vornak: To those who have been forcibly oppressed by the regime of Donald Clark.
Clark has violated the Constitution of the Republic and orchestrated the assassination of his predecessor - and we have evidence to prove this --
Tech 2: Sir, we're being ordered by the Authorities to suspend the transmission.
Executive: Do it.
*I.R.W. D'tan.*
Vornak: And I'm sure the Republic is already trying to jam this transmission, but before they do, I want to say one last thing; President Clark's rule is illegitimate. What I mean by this is that we no longer recognise him as the Leader of the Republic of United Star Systems. We give him 48 hours to step down so democracy can be restored.
Make no mistake, this is an ultimatum. The Romulan Star Empire is prepared to use military force to liberate the Republic, and I call upon the Federation, UNSC and the Klingon Empire to join us in this ultimatum.
Your time starts now. Thank you.
*The transmission ends on all but Romulan channels.*
Rihannsu, I thank you for giving me your patience. I thank you for giving me this honour and responsibility. Most of all, I thank you for your trust.
Conscription is already underway, but I'm now offering an amendment to that bill as an executive order; anyone who does not wish to engage in battle with Republic Forces may resign with full honours. If you are already assigned or will be assigned to the Eblisi Front, then you will not be redeployed - you have my word.
Like you, I am tired of conflict. Peace is our time's greatest imperative. But, alongside peace is the need for unity. A need for a common ground. We cannot afford to be fragmented anymore.
Rihannsu, you have all seen humans, klingons, turanians, bajorans and even vulcans walk our streets as they flee their burning worlds. I would like to think you have all come to see them as cousins or even brothers. Right now, our Republican brothers across the border are facing an evil we know too well; the evil of tyranny. I ask you all to help me rescue them.
And then, I promise, when the Eblisi threat is gone, we shall have peace. We shall have a lasting peace and we shall have a bright peace. Of that, I give you my word; it is a cause for which I am willing to give my life.
