Nicole and Vincent sat there while Commander T'Ros blasted the Omega Prime leadership for the horror of the burning of Rome. T'Ros blasted Nicole and Vincent for failing to protected the Rome and for failing to properly identify the potential experimentation with the Omega Molecule.

T'Ros then turned her furor to Commander T'Liama as she blasted the young intelligence officer for her involvement in the fire. She called the mere child incompetent for her inability to keep her involvement in the Tal Shiar a secret from the leadership of the colony. She turned to Nicole. She blasted the Rear Admiral again.

She called Nicole incompetent, with an inability to understand how the colony should function, as unable to stop the Romulans from building a city on the planet and giving up access to the Omega Molecule. She glared at the Rear Admiral. No Romulan colony would ever give the Federation access to such power. She called Nicole a niave idiot.

T'Ros turned her ire back to T'Liama telling her that she needed to decide where her loyalties were, to Omega Prime or to the Regional Praetor. She blasted the young lady for calling over the Romulan attack on Omega Prime. She blasted the Federation for illegally colonizing the planet, calling it Romulan and flat out calling Rome, the capital of the Romulan Colony.

Vincent could handle the attacks on Nicole. He knew that it was Romulan grandstanding but he would not stand aside while the Romulans proclaimed dominance over the colony. He told T'Ros to sit down. She complied for a moment and then stood back up.

She glared at the command staff, "I have as much right to speak as any of you. Vorta'Rome is Romulan territory by our agreement. It is only a matter of time before Romulus controls the entire planet and you will have given it up to us."

Vincent snapped, "This is a Federation Colony under the protection of the Omega Fleet. Vorta'Rome acts as an embassy. The truth is your city is on a Romulan soil, but you have no formal authority. I will be damned if you call that into question. Do you understand? The Omega Fleet is heavily armed. Do you understand?"

T'Ros backed down, almost immediately. She turned her ire back to Commander T'Liama, "You are to blame, our opportunity is lost. We could have taken the colony and you turned the fleet away based upon your father's belief that this Omega Project could bind our two peoples in peace. You are a fool, my child. You must choose between Prime or the Praetor. You must choose."

T'Ros stormed out of the conference room. T'Liama sat there for a moment and then followed the Vorta'Rome Mayor from the conference room.

She walked back in and looked at the command staff, by the end of today, you will have my choice.

Nicole was back in her Cardassian community home thinking about her romantic failures with Tiara, a murderous zealot, with T'Liama, a Romulan Spy and with Tacita, who tried to kill her. She was alone. She is seen as a laughing stock as a leader.

She poured a nice Picard Chardonnay and sat there alone in her thoughts thinking it was too late for her, to late to apologize.

There was a knock on the door. It was the Romulan. She stood there for a long while and then slowly dropped the coat revealing nothing...

We had our answer, she chose Prime over the Praetor.
