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.

Matt: You'll have to define 'odd'. We've had reports of more anti-Free Delta uprisings and Alliance reprisals. At least two planets have been completely scorched in retaliation for trying to break away from the Alliance.
No offence, Terry, but what we need isn't a fleet: it's an army. I'm getting so many calls for aid, there's no way we can respond to all of them: even if we mobilised every Assault Ops Battalion, every Marine Corps... there's just too many.

Comments
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.

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.
Matt: Thank you.
Open a channel to the Federation Task Force, Athena.
Athena: Aye, sir.
*They connect to the U.S.S. Enterprise via holocomm.*

*Terry's old appearance is on the viewscreen, much to Matt's surprise. *
Terry: Hello again. I am assuming the situation is still growing increasingly odd.
Ch’rell waks into the main command center.
Ch’rell: report
Trooper: sir the undine are on the move attacking a federation colony.
Meanwhile
Federation colony
The Wist and Lovell engage the undine ships once they arrive in system.
Sewell: engage forerunner shields and weapons. Open fire on the closest undine ship.
Ensign: aye sir.
The Wist moves in and quickly fires on two undine ships while the Lovell moves in to assist a disabled freighter and move to defend the planet.
The Wist shakes as it’s hit by one of the undine ships.
Sewell: status
Ensign: shields holding 97 percent.
Sewell: concentrate fire on one ship at a time. Let’s wrap this up people.
Matt: You'll have to define 'odd'. We've had reports of more anti-Free Delta uprisings and Alliance reprisals. At least two planets have been completely scorched in retaliation for trying to break away from the Alliance.
No offence, Terry, but what we need isn't a fleet: it's an army. I'm getting so many calls for aid, there's no way we can respond to all of them: even if we mobilised every Assault Ops Battalion, every Marine Corps... there's just too many.

Terry: Well that certainly reminds me of something not long ago. We brought MACOs so Karn did think ahead on that. There also is the immiediate need to triage the situation. Its the only way to manage the situation. We can at least do that.
Matt: Alright. I'll have my strategic adviser send you the locations of several of the distress calls.
*Athena nods and sends the coordinates.*

*Alvin looks over the coordinates... *
Alvin: I have them sir..
Terry: Alright Commander.
We will be heading out as soon as we can organize teams and groups.
*When the comm line ends Alvin speaks up.*
Alvin: Sir one of the planets is one I know very well. Its the Innotankan homeworld.
Terry: It was colonized?
Alvin: As far as I know sir, some tribes might have remained or returned after the war.
Wade: Or it might be something else.
Terry: We will take that one. Get the Captains here in the conference hall...
Wade: Yes sir.
USS Cairo
Captains ready room.
Novak: before we get to starfleet intelligence I have someone who would like to speak to you first.
Corvus: I suspected as much.
Carter appears
Carter: greetings. I hope your trip on the enterprise was pleasant.
Corvus: it was alright.
Carter: I assume you know why I’m here.
Corvus: of course I do.
He pulls out a small data rod from a pouch on his suit handing it to carter.
Corvus: all the info you wanted is on that rod.
Carter: I appreciate your cooperation and help. This will help a lot with the current situation
Corvus nod as carter nods to both of them before vanishing.
Novak: well since you have full diplomatic curtesy can I get you a drink or would you like to be shown around the Cairo.
Corvus: a drink first would be fine captain.
*The new fleet with Skull approaches a skeleton Republic fleet with Anti-Delta elements..*
Skull: Perfect use for the purposes.. Jean approach under silent running... Tactical begin picking targets do not lock on just yet.
*The officers around them begin following those orders. The new weapons on the ship emitter arrays of Thanix weaponry. Stealth drones begin deploying up on the fleet. *
Skull: *Looking at the Free Delta rep...* As you can see this vessel carries quite a bit of technology that is built for war. It can support a large number of needs of the crew. But most of all are the drones and the new application.
Jean: Sir we are in range... drones are in place.
Skull: *gets up from the Captains chair and offers it to the Delta Rep...*If you would like to give the order...
Free Delta Rep: Fire.

*The drones begin firing on the Republic vessels, any damaged ram the Republic vessel, the flagship of this fleet makes its appearance and begins to open fire. The Anti Delta ships are decimated by withering fire. The Republic ships are taking a bit more pounding.*
Skull: Arm the torpedos, and fire in a spread. Bring up the new shields.
*The Republic Cruiser Squadron starts filling the area with Point-Defence fire, creating a no-man's land around the squadron as the damaged cruisers start to cloak and disengage.
R.S.S. Enterprise.*
Athena: Admiral, we're receiving a distress call from the squadron over Lorian II. They're under attack and are attempting to disengage.
Matt: Order the rest of the fleet to rally at Lorian VI. Relay the situation to the Federation Task Force.
All ships, this is Fleet Command. Action Stations! Set Naval Condition 2 throughout the fleet!
*The Fleet begins to assemble at Lorian VI as the cruiser squadron tries to disengage.*

Sewell: status
Ensign: all systems still green. The Lovell reports the same. Federation task force is signaling that they are fine as well and in position to remain here.
Sewell: very well everyone. Helm set course for unsc border again.
*The Torpedo fire from the unknown ship begins a plasma fire on the vessels..*
Skull: *Watching* Load the Obliterator at the planet..
Which do you wish to punish sir? The Planet or the disengaging fleet?
*Terry is alerted to the attack... *
Terry: Tell the Republic to aim for any projectiles going to the planet, if possible smaller vessels should get in the way.
Wade: What?
Terry: That ship has an Obliterator... but not the subspace variety.
*Stark comes to the bridge... *
Stark: Sir we have a problem..
Dani: Bring them in.
Weston: Aye, sir.
