"You are not serious.", Vincent looked at Nicole.
"I am.", Nicole looked at Vincent.
"Have you contacted T'Nley?", the Admiral asked.
"Yes. She will be here shortly.", Nicole responded.
"And Veltkamp?", Vincent looked at Nicole.
"He is headed to Paris on Slipstream vessel as we speak.", Nicole explained.
"And you came up with this all on your own.", Vincent looked dumbfounded.
"Yes.", Nicole punched him in the arm knowing he was teasing her about her on-going naivete.
Colonel Brown entered the offices. Bell looked at Vincent, "Are you sure?"
"I am.", Vincent responded.
Bell pulled his weapon and grabbed the Admiral. Nicole followed them out as Dawn Keystone repeated the same scene on the USS Quasar Quest.
Nicole walked up to the microphones and looked out at the press gathering, "Admiral Vincent Viceroy and Captain John Warren acted outside the authority of the King's Fleet in accordance with our agreements with Star Fleet Command for territorial control in the Beta Ursae Sector. They have been formally charged with Treason and will be imprisoned here on Ephyra. Until further notice, All King's Fleet commands will pass through the office of the Director of Fleet Services."
Illyan and Loiza watched from Third Corinthians, "What the hell is she doing? This is not how this was supposed to go."
Elizabeth looked at Illyan, "What did you want to happen?"
"Star Fleet Marines were supposed to take the capital. Captain Orin Coren-Lau, commanding officer of the USS Pasadena would then betray the marines and rescue Branson. This would spark up a romance and reopen the wormhole. This time we would be ready.", Illyan explained.
"Branson would not be interested in the male Trill.", Elizabeth warned.
"Heroics makes you sexy, Governor.", Illyan retorted.
"What is our plans now?", Elizabeth looked at Illyan.
"She has something up her sleeve, I know it.", Illyan glared at the suddenly confident Branson.
