"Who released the Kabarann?", Vincent demanded to know.
"We have no hold on them.", Toni responded.
"General Kabarann reports going back to the Klingon Empire.", Toni explained.
"And you believed him! He is a Klingon and public enemy number one there!", Vincent shouted.
"These are your people. Stop thinking with your hart and lead them.", Vincent glared at Tan.
"But Admiral, what is the worse that could happen?", Tan asked.
"That!!", Vincent pointed to the star map as the Klingon ship changed its identification signature from the Klingon Empire to the Hatherton Fleet.
Tan gasped. The comm signal chime could be heard throughout operations. Tan reluctantly tapped the button. The image of General Brown appeared, "With the Klingon ship, we are close now, my friend. The Hatherton Fleet will take the Andorian Station and the Rings of Teero. We will shutdown the atmosphere and release that silly rock you call a colony. An asteroid with a few hundred refugees is not a colony. I think you should begin to question your own leadership, lashing out at poor Tan and your own niece. This behaviour could lead to more defectors. Vincent, the King's time has come and gone. It is time for a new and improved regional authority to take control. "
"I do not question my leadership. I have only one question. What did the Kabarann cost you?", Vincent snapped.
Tan walked over and handed Vincent a note from Caitlin Wu. The Section 31 operative was working on the Plato. Vincent laughed as he read the note.
"You were once an Antican hero who stood up to the Borg at Antican B7. You rose to superstar status serving with us on the Phoenix Colony but now you are reduced to prostituting yourself to expand your little empire.", Vincent mocked the soldier.
"Huh?", Bell looked puzzled.
"I understand Lupac taking the Aadarsh neroQ offer. We have all done things that sacrificed our self respect to survive. Lupac would have screwed a dog to survive the coup so agreeing to screw Aadarsh for his help was a step up but passing that burden onto you was shrewed on his partner.", Vincent taunted.
"You think you can taunt me Vincent but I am the winner here. I get the girl and the ship,", Brown refused to be broken flashing up the image of the Klingon hybrid Aadarsh Kabarann in drag.
"A Klingon with Branson Beauty enhancements dressed as a female is not an upgrade nor will ever be confused as a girlfriend.", Vincent snapped ending the transmission.
Secretly he knew that General Belvedere Brown and Commodore Michaela Hatherton had begun to build a real rival and were exactly as Brown described, close to being ready to take a run at the Rings of Teero and dammit, despite his observation Colonel Aadarsh neroQ did look pretty good in that Hatherton Fleet one piece.
