"Don't let them dock here.", Tan barked at Station Ops.
The Andorian warship was headed back towards the Klingon Empire. Trmel Shah glared at Tan, "The ship is on official Andorian business. Let the ship dock."
Tan turned to the station's builder, "General Shah, the withdrawal agreement with Chancellor Larle is clear. All warships are directed away from the Empire. The agreement was coordinated by your own ambassador Gareb Trmel. The warship must be directed out of the sector."
Tan was no fool. He knew that the Andorians were not impressed by the construction of anew ship building facility near Kronos. They had been speaking out against the construction.
Trmel glared at Tan, "You are a joke, Tan. You only have this job because then Viceroy can control the entire Fleet without anyone of confidence checking on him. Deveniss sleeps all the time and you move around here like a naive child watching these people not leading them. You are not man enough to lead them. Hell, you don't have the parts to be man enough for anything."
The whole promenade turned to look up at Station Ops. Trmel looked at Tan, "I call for a vote of non-confidence. You are not fit to lead."
Trmel grabbed a beautiful Andorian female from the operations group and twirled her around, spinning her in tight to his body, "These people want to be lead by a man; someone with the balls to lead them."
The elder but virile Andorian winked at Tan. The scene looked like something out of a 1950s biker gang and not the symbol of a grand Fleet. It was misogynistic and like two Bulls in the pasture trying to dominate the herd.
Zoe watched the eyes of the station staff. She could see in their eyes that they were being swayed by the charismatic Andorian. She could read in their faces that they were wondering if Tan really was man enough to lead them.
Beamon watched as Trmel looked at Tan, "What have you got? You got nothing. These people need a man not a eunuch."
Zoe knew that the Hierarchy Clanner needed help. She took a deep breath and pulled her uniform up and over her head. She walked over and stood next to Tan, "Oh he is man enough. Man enough to get me out of my clothes."
Zoe had served on the USS Arizona. She had founded the Zombies. She had spent her career battling stereotypes of women as objects or lesser than their mates. She had stood up for women in leadership. Now here she was standing topless next to Tan.
Admiral Tan looked at General Shah, "Either direct the warship back towards Federation space or get the hell off my bridge."
Trmel glared at Tan but gave the order.
