*There's signs that the tube was used to access the replicator but not who did it. A scan reveals a small drop of blood from a cut but the DNA is too damaged to tell who it came from but its Caitian from what's left of the electrically fried cells.*

Skull: You have arrived... Good.
Maje Drek: What does a Federation snake want with us?
Skull: I am not of the Federation.
Maje Dreck: Oh? Your not? Why do you have their technology?
Skull: I merely live among them and work among them, creating several weapons. Now I sell this technology.
Maje Juro: Dreck... Be silent. Let this man speak his offer.
Skull: I know Free Delta needs more teeth to crack through Republic defenses and that you used your last bomb. I have something that can fix both problems.
Free Delta representative: Unless it's a fleet...
*Skull smiles a lipless smile, revealing his teeth. Very dark eyes bore into the representative. *
Skull: Oh it is a fleet, at least 125 ships more on par with the Federation than the Republic. Something the Khazon should have no problems getting used to.
*He walks to the central tube in the room and removes a package of vials...*
I also have something that should make those weapons Malick gave you redundant. Something a bit more subtle.
*He removes one vial from the package. *
One of these should nullify a planet, or a ship, or an entire fleet if you so choose. I bring you this offer because I have my axe to grind against my enemies.
*The Free Delta Leader examines the vial.*
FD Rep: What is it?
Skull: It is a parasitic virus that infects the lung tissue of the infected person, towards the end it begins to take control of the body to spread itself further. The trick we found was to program it to activate upon a specfic vocal engram. Meaning it is gear more selectively for the race of people you wish to eliminate.
*He walks over to a separate set of vials..*
There is of course an antiviral that nullifies this but we have the only source of it, if things go wrong. You will find that the vials you have there are specifically tailored to your enemies here and some elements of the Federation and Republic. Also be aware that the Federation is sending a fleet here into the quadrant.
*A Malon looks at the vials as do the other rebellious entities in the Quadrant. *
Malon: What is the infection rate?
Skull: Complete 100%
Maje Drek: What is the fatality rate?
Skull: In the population it affects whoever doesn't die becomes an infected carrier that is able to be controlled. As cannon fodder.

Novak: and what does that have to do with me. I’ve helped you where I could but that is more difficult now.
Carter: you are going to be picking up a person from the mirror universe. You are taking him back to Blackwell I assume. I want to speak with him first.

" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Osman walks into her office as atlas appears on her desk.
Atlas: good morning ma’am. I think you will want to see this.
He pops up a hill of news of the undine attacking the federation.
Osman: how recent is this.
Atlas: this is current. I just happened to see it and have been watching. Starfleet has ships in bound but by the time they arrive I surmise the planet will be destroyed.
Osman: does anyone else have ships that could get there in time?
Atlas: the unsc has two on the border that are close. But we have no idea if the unsc will help or not.
Osman: let’s hope they do.
Border
Two unsc Virgo class ships are patrolling along the border as they detect the undine attacking the federation
Unsc Wist
Capt. Sewell: what’s the status
Ensign: sir the undine are attacking a federation colony near the border. Federation ships are on there way but won’t arrive in time.
Sewell: take us across the border. Send a message to command and also alert starfleet we are moving in to assist.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
John: well from the color of the hair that narrows it down to 2 candidates for who could have been in there.
Weston: Did we get anything from the genetic scan?
*Dani walks in.*
John: Well we appear to have gotten something. These sensors are better than the tricorder and we narrowed it down to a pair of brothers.
Weston: Okay, let's see their backgrounds.
*He brings up both brothers' personnel files. Dani walks over to inspect them herself.*
Captain.
Dani: What have you got?
John: Well we have Leeze a Caitian Engineer who worked alongside Johanna and then Flino who works in security. Both would have had adequate knowledge and privileges to get in there and sabotage her replicator.

*The Harper is still several hours out due to problems with its fold space drive. Stark is still in the guts of the ship trying to find the problem... *
Quinton: This is too clean of a problem...
Lyle: What do you mean?
Quinton: Look at the EPS line and the manifolds. This was not a normal failure, this was an intentional break.
Lyle: Your kidding me...
Quinton: We have a sabateur, * he taps his comm badge*
*The taskforce arrives with the Enterprise J at Earth's orbit, and then they proceed to fold space to the Delta Quadrant the Republic's strong hold in the area. The Argala system. Republic control watches as the Federation fleet arrives, in awe of the diversity of ships. Birds of Prey, Escorts, Medical Ships, Cruisers, Battleships, and at the head of the pack the 3 mile sized Universe class Enterprise J. *
Terry: Notify Republic command that the Federation fleet has arrived in the area. I want to speak with the Flag Officer in charge.
Rissa: Yes sir..
Wade: Haven't been back here in a long time.
Terry: Yes... Since the war if I recall right. *smirking* A fine and loyal display to find me as a matter in fact.
Wade: Yeah that guy was still an ***hole. May he rot in the deepest pit of hell... Ferretface.
Terry: He really was a Ferret face.
*Republic Diplomat comes on the comm.*
Diplomat: Admiral, good of you to arrive... We have a clutch of Varro that wish to enter Federation Space...
Terry: Hmm.. I don't see why they would come to me, that sounds more like a forward to President Karn...
Diplomat: Yes Admiral, but I haven't been able to get a hold of the President... too many requests..
Terry: I will put it through after I meet this representative of the Varro.
Diplomat: Yes sir.. I will pass it along.
Terry: I am surprised the Varro have lived this long.
*An attendant comes running to Matt and whispers to his ear... telling him the Federation is here. And of a small force that have gone to the Free Delta camp.. No real information on them just yet..*
The command center is a hub of activity after getting word of the undine attack and the Wist and Lovell moving across the border to engage.
Sheridan: so it’s started.
Virsio: ONI has a prowler monitoring the area. The two Virgo class ships should be able to handle the situation.
Hammond: I don’t think that’s the biggest issue here. If the undine are attack at will we need to finish project closed door now. We can’t waste any more time.
Narn: we also don’t have the ships to secure every planet in our own space from an undine attack we need to limit their available targets.
Hammond: we need to get everyone involved.
Sheridan: that would be ideal.
Virsio: the republic and federation are already engaged. The breen and tzenkethi we can get aligned.
Hammond: what about you and the Romulans?
Marcias: I am willing to help as much as I can with the ships under my command but the Romulan government would have to decide for the rest of the fleet.

Skull: My organization borrowed, appropriated, and built this fleet 125 ships with more firepower than the Republic would have in a comparable number of ships. All right under their noses. If you accept you get this fleet I have and the means to produce more. I assume you know of the Federation's Universe class dreadnought.. This variant of that design was built to be its exact opposite. Exploration is not entirely what this vessel can do.
Perhaps an example?
*The rep nods.*

*There's a few strands of hair from a caitian the dna not damaged but unreadable with a tricorder. It looks like they knew to clean up but at the same time didn't notice their fur*
*Skull taps a comm line *
Skull: Jean plot a course for the nearest Republic starbase. This ship will proceed first under cloak.
Jean: Yes Sir..
*The vessel drops its cloak and heads out on its mission.*
*Weston taps his combadge.*
Weston: Weston to Security Lab. I've got some strands of Caitian fur here. It looks like the follicles are intact, but my tricorder can't make a genetic scan.
Security *Over Comm*: Aye, sir. Standing by.
*Weston puts some of the fur into an evidence bag.*
Weston: Computer, beam evidence pack 2241 to Security Lab.
*The computer beams the bag to the security lab for analysis.*

Janeway: why the hell dis you send them! Haven’t they been through enough already?
Blackwell: they where the only ones available.
Janeway: we both know that’s a lie.
Blackwell: fine they are the only ship in the area I trust enough for this.
Janeway: and putting Novak in command
Blackwell: why is he not up to it.
Janeway sighs
Janeway: no. Novak is a special operations team member. He is a member of Romulan intelligence and a suspected member of section 3.
Blackwell: wait are you saying?
Janeway: I trust the man with my life but I would not have let him go alone.
Novak: computer secure room code Novak gamma
He waits till the computer confirms it’s secured.
Novak: I don’t like meeting like this here’s on the ship.
Carter: well we don’t have many options. Especially now. The undine are on the move and skull is on the move again.
Novak: and what does that have to do with me. I’ve helped you where I could but that is more difficult now.
Carter: you are going to be picking up a person from the mirror universe. You are taking him back to Blackwell I assume. I want to speak with him first.
Novak: are you crazy?
Carter: figure out how to do it. You’d rather do it that way then me to come to you.
The holo fades as Novak starts rubbing his head as he starts getting a headache.
Novak: why just why. Computer lower security field.
*Weston heads there as well once he's done sweeping the Jefferies Tube.*

On a small federation colony world a undine fleet appears and begins its attack on the world.
Meanwhile
Ensign: captain we have arrived at the enterprise.
Novak: very good. Inform the enterprise we will pick up our target and then be on our way.
Ops: yes sir.
John: Well we appear to have gotten something. These sensors are better than the tricorder and we narrowed it down to a pair of brothers.
Weston: Okay, let's see their backgrounds.
*He brings up both brothers' personnel files. Dani walks over to inspect them herself.*
Captain.
Dani: What have you got?

Atlas: good morning ma’am. I think you will want to see this.
He pops up a hill of news of the undine attacking the federation.
Osman: how recent is this.
Atlas: this is current. I just happened to see it and have been watching. Starfleet has ships in bound but by the time they arrive I surmise the planet will be destroyed.
Osman: does anyone else have ships that could get there in time?
Atlas: the unsc has two on the border that are close. But we have no idea if the unsc will help or not.
Osman: let’s hope they do.
Border
Two unsc Virgo class ships are patrolling along the border as they detect the undine attacking the federation
Unsc Wist
Capt. Sewell: what’s the status
Ensign: sir the undine are attacking a federation colony near the border. Federation ships are on there way but won’t arrive in time.
Sewell: take us across the border. Send a message to command and also alert starfleet we are moving in to assist.
John: Well we have Leeze a Caitian Engineer who worked alongside Johanna and then Flino who works in security. Both would have had adequate knowledge and privileges to get in there and sabotage her replicator.
Dani: What about motive?

*The Harper is still several hours out due to problems with its fold space drive. Stark is still in the guts of the ship trying to find the problem... *
Quinton: This is too clean of a problem...
Lyle: What do you mean?
Quinton: Look at the EPS line and the manifolds. This was not a normal failure, this was an intentional break.
Lyle: Your kidding me...
Quinton: We have a sabateur, * he taps his comm badge*
Stark to bridge... We have a problem.
Terry: Notify Republic command that the Federation fleet has arrived in the area. I want to speak with the Flag Officer in charge.
Rissa: Yes sir..
Wade: Haven't been back here in a long time.
Terry: Yes... Since the war if I recall right. *smirking* A fine and loyal display to find me as a matter in fact.
Wade: Yeah that guy was still an ***hole. May he rot in the deepest pit of hell... Ferretface.
Terry: He really was a Ferret face.
*Republic Diplomat comes on the comm.*
Diplomat: Admiral, good of you to arrive... We have a clutch of Varro that wish to enter Federation Space...
Terry: Hmm.. I don't see why they would come to me, that sounds more like a forward to President Karn...
Diplomat: Yes Admiral, but I haven't been able to get a hold of the President... too many requests..
Terry: I will put it through after I meet this representative of the Varro.
Diplomat: Yes sir.. I will pass it along.
Terry: I am surprised the Varro have lived this long.
*An attendant comes running to Matt and whispers to his ear... telling him the Federation is here. And of a small force that have gone to the Free Delta camp.. No real information on them just yet..*
The undine take little time wiping out the few ships in orbit. The Wist arrives with the Lovell as thy move in to engage the undine ships
Fleetcomm HQ
The command center is a hub of activity after getting word of the undine attack and the Wist and Lovell moving across the border to engage.
Sheridan: so it’s started.
Virsio: ONI has a prowler monitoring the area. The two Virgo class ships should be able to handle the situation.
Hammond: I don’t think that’s the biggest issue here. If the undine are attack at will we need to finish project closed door now. We can’t waste any more time.
Narn: we also don’t have the ships to secure every planet in our own space from an undine attack we need to limit their available targets.
Hammond: we need to get everyone involved.
Sheridan: that would be ideal.
Virsio: the republic and federation are already engaged. The breen and tzenkethi we can get aligned.
Hammond: what about you and the Romulans?
Marcias: I am willing to help as much as I can with the ships under my command but the Romulan government would have to decide for the rest of the fleet.
