"Being Captain of a gunship is not a demotion.", Michael looked at Parker.
"I was the head of fucking Starfleet. I am only out here because I told that fucking Selayan he was useless.", Parker snapped.
"Now I am running a fucking American class in buttfuck nowhere!", Parker snapped.
"You are a former Starfleet officer given a chance to score a great victory for the unit against a legendary enemy. If I were you Hatherton, I would buy that Selayan a steak.", Michael smiled as her new Executive Officer.
"Holy shit, you might be right.", Parker smiled.
Mosita came walking in. Parker turned, "Major, thanks for coming."
"I am honoured.", the young Asian smiled, "This ship, she will be very fast."
"Stick and move.", Michael smiled, "This will get us into the duck hunt."
Parker looked at her new crew. Brittany Paneera tapping on the console. The Vulcan V'Larii sitting at her right. She turned around to see Sam Larle, the Klingon hybrid would prove a valuable asset in the search for the Yot Medara.
Parker looked out the main viewer at the buoys marking the Klingon border. She thought about the Eiffel Tower and the view from her office at the Academy and she thought about Federation One. Staff waited on her every whim. She had the official power over all things in the Federation and yet she had no power.
Here she was in command. There was no James Hatherton to give her her next move. There was no Monica Montgomery in her ear reminding her that Starfleet and not the democracy had the real power. She remembered how bewildered she was knowing that the once mighty ideals of the Federation had been sacrificed for security in an ongoing Cold War with the Klingons, the Romulans and an internal war with the so-called legacy of Section 31.
Parker gave a half sneer and opened a channel to all King's Fleet vessels, "This is Captain Parker Hatherton of the USS Prince Andrew. I hereby announce my intentions to beat all you buzzards to the Medara. It is time this fleet saw some real leadership,"
Commander T'Zohl reached to open a channel in response. John raised his finger and shook his head. The Vulcan turned around, "But Captain."
John smiled, "Let her have this one, she has had a tough month."
