"Tell us what was aboard the Ark?", Vincent looked at Nicole hovering in the air in a partially transparent hue.
"I cannot.", Nicole looked at Vincent.
"Look, you would be nothing without us. Tell me what was on the Ark.", Vincent snapped. He had had this conversation with Parker too many times already.
"Admiral, you know from your time as Head of Starfleet that you were privy to information that could not be shared with the regional authority. This is simply classified information. The Federation, it's military and exploratory arm, Starfleet continue to be ever so grateful to all member authorities in the search for the public treasure and museum property.", Nicole looked like she was reading from a cue card.
Vincent knew that other Fleets must be asking the question. He glared at Nicole, "At least you could provide the known and registered mission plan for the so-called museum transfer."
"At this time all tracking information has been provided to the Task Force World Court. For such privileged information, please contact Captain Gilles Baptiste and USS Brussels.", Nicole replied without emotion.
"Always remember who your friends are, Branson.", Viceroy tapped the shutdown button.
"Anything?", Dawn walked into John's Ready Room aboard the Quest.
"Not a peep. Continue the regular sweeps.", John ordered.
T'Zohl entered the room with the senior staff. She looked at John handing him the documentation review. John looked at her, "I am no Vulcan. I lack the speed reading and retention skills. Give me the synopsis."
The beautiful Vulcan looked at her long term friend, "I think we have a problem."
"Go on.", Dawn looked at T'Zohl.
"It is bad. I believe Branson was duped into running for the presidency because of the decision by the civilian government to move the dark matter device through the Alpha Quadrant on the museum transfer. As soon as Branson became President she was asked to sign several documents included several releases. It will show that the office of the President acknowledged the mission. I believe that McDonald knew and that he, Monica Montgomery, Parker and James Hatherton all knew. This was a plot to destroy Branson once and for all.", T'Zohl summarized.
"I will inform Admiral Viceroy on a secure channel.", John looked at the command staff.
"We have to find the Ark. If the Brussels finds the Ark, we will be patrolling the freakin' furthest reaches of the Delta Quadrant because it is the only f**king assignment we will be able to get.", John frowned.
"Good work Zee.", John smiled.
"I know what I am good at.", Commander T'Zohl smiled. She had been many things in her career rising to such heights as Captain of the Quest and as Vice Admiral and King's Fleet Chief of Staff.
