Praetor T'Ros came to the capital to meet with Governor Nicole Branson. It marked the first time the Romulan Consul has been represented in the Phoenix Colony capital. Mayor D'Solos Vreenak of Vorta'Rome also came to the capital. The young student has become an integral part of the community. She graduated from the Academy here serving as Valedictorian and serving in the Phoenix Fleet and the King's Battlegroup.
T'Ros took a moment to gather her wits and then presented her hypothesis. The Romulan was calm and presented her facts without raising her voice or without attempting to show Romulan disdain for the United Federation of Planets or Star Fleet. The Romulans have always show allegiance to Admiral William Hunt and he in turn has always supported their membership in the colony governance.
T'Ros proposed the theory that the United Federation of Planets and in particular member state, Betazed have begun and completed a systematic takeover of the Phoenix Colony. Nicole wanted to dismiss the claim straight away but her better judgement allowed her to listen to the regional Romulan representative.
T'Ros first pointed out the deep resentment towards the Phoenix Colony and the Phoenix Federation by the Betazoid Coren family including several references to the history between Nicole Branson and Elizabeth Coren. T'Ros also pointed out that Lavender Coren, who allegedly made the first move in the attempt to take the colony served in Star Fleet Intelligence.
T'Ros then pointed out an obvious step. Elora Vasa serves as Executive Officer on Governor's Station and is a member of the Omega Prime Administrative Staff effectively governing the day to day operations on the colony and serving to oversee any and all legislation on the surface.
Summer Vasa serves as Executive Officer on Terok Beta; an appointment made just today by Commodore Viceroy. Vasa too sits on the day to day governance committee as a member of the Administrative Staff.
The argument is compelling. The Coren's now control the access to the wormhole through Second Corinthians. Formal access to the Alpha Quadrant is now easily accessible. The invasion point for Star Fleet is now open and at the ready.
Nicole was stunned. The Romulan left with Branson dumbfounded.
Was the colony being taken over by the United Federation of Planets? Were the Betazoids Friends or Instruments of the takeover?
What sort of game were the Romulans playing?
And she wanted to be Governor....
