===== Ready room of the Romulan Warbird Commanders ===== "No, there is no time for furher delay Arrain" said the Romulan Captin. "We have to act fast before the federation get a clue whats going on here". The Romulan CSCiO gulped. He knew his Leith (CO) and he knew that arguing with him was quite dangerous. Tal' shiar (Romulan Inteligence) wasnt too happy about officers questioning orders or arguing with their superiors. "But Aendah (Commodore) , I really cant recommend to send an assault troop to the asteroid right now. We have little to none informations about the signal itself nor how it will look inside the asteroid. All we have been able to determine is that there is some kind of an cave system inside the asteroid with breathable atmospere." The Romulan CO shook his head: "I understand you Arrain, but I cant risk the possibility that the Federation will send a team to the asteroid as well. They might find out about the Kzenti chameleon technolgy as well and surely will try to get it first. I think that the humans are a decadent race, with no admiration for perfectionism, but I know they are not stupid. If we know about the Kzenti chameleon technolgy ... they might know it soon as well." "Yes Leith, but ..." the CSCiO tried to protest. "No buts Arrain!" said the Romulan CO hard. "I've made my decission, will you challenge it?" The CSCiO shook fastly his head: "Of course not Aendah, you know i would never dare that" his voice was now like begging. "Never forget that" the romulan CO said, "We can be lucky that its not General Bretam in charge of the federation vessel. He's an veteran soldier and an old fox ... and he would be more then a dangerous oponent." The CO waved with his hand in despite: "But that young Guzman is no match here. He even believed that the XO is the Commander of the ship and that we dont know WHO attacked us." The Leith laughed shortly: "That fool of an Commander even went down to the planet himself. He really believes that the Kzenti want to start negotiations. Fool! He has no idea that the Kzenti want only to get enough data for their Chameleon technology ..." He turned to his CSCiO: "I hope all was prepared for the away team down on the planet?" The CSCiO noded: "Aye Aendah, all four members of the away team know that their primary goal is to provoke the federations soldiers to do some stupidity ... There is one woman and three man from the federation ship, they know they have to concentrate on the woman ... one or the other of the federation males will try to preotect her ... and we have them where we want to." "Good" noded the Romulan CO. "How long since the assault team can leave the ship?" he asked again. "Erie'Riov Tol'Poh from the Rei'Krannsu unit is ready to depart, his man armed. All we need to do is to check the cloak on their shuttle. It would be really a pitty if the Kzenti would reveal our shuttle on its way ..." The Romulan CO raised his eyebrows: "It really would be Arrain. For those brave man and for two of my senior officers!" he said meaning teh CSCiO and the CEO. "That wont happen" repleid hastily the CSCiO. "Dismissed" ordered the Aendah. As the SCSiO left the room Aendah Tomalak from the Romulan Intel service Tal'shiar smiled widely. The mission was proceeding as planned. His warbird was attacked as expected, but the cloacked task force that should support his attack on the Kzenti homeworld was not detected. Tomalak was sure that neighter the Kzenti, nor the Federation had any clue about his real mission. To get the Kzenti chameleon technolgy and to destroy the Kzenti homeworld. When he will suceed in this mission, he will be more then sure promoted and the Romulan star empire will get a mighty weapon. And who knows ... what plans the Tal'shiar will have with such a MIGHTY technology in the future ... ===== End of log ===== NPCs by Mumacik
