*the conundrum speeds toward the terminus of the wormhole, space suddenly exploding a whirlpool of blue and white as the anomaly opens to allow alex passage to the gamma quadrant*
alex: okay, let's go say 'hi' to the dosi *he says, deliberately pronouncing the 'i' in dosi long instead of short to make it rhyme, before ending communication with the exeter, the wells undocking from DS9 a few seconds later and setting a course for the wormhole*
alex: the years of the earth-romulan war were some of the most tense i've ever experienced...humanity came within a hair's breath of being conquered and enslaved by the romulans between d'deridex and khazara's repeated strikes against coalition worlds, and later valdore, it's a wonder we were able to achieve the few…

alex: 'shooting the warhead down before impact' isn't exactly an impressive countermeasure thought process...because that one is painfully obvious, and therefore has already been accounted for
alex: they won't affect allied units - provided it's broadcasting a friendly IFF; at least this i can actually make ignore friendlies, unlike the gravity wells i deploy
alex: as much as i would prefer another peaceful mission like the last one...the chances of TWO happening in a row, with this group...let's put it this way - i have a higher chance of t'ket calling me for a booty call than us getting another peaceful mission...and i need to test some prototype munitions anyway, so an…
alex: *sighing is heard* fiiiiiine...*he summons a patronus - which naturally takes the form of a wolf - and whispers a message to it, which then takes off and heads for wherever jorin is*
