“Admiral, Governor Branson has installed the Romulan Saehir Marrus as Mayor of the Cradol capital of Camelot.”, Agent Caitlin Wu looked at Admiral Baan’Haal aboard the Tellarite Fleet Flag Ship, the Naar’Haaj.
Bael looked at the Section 31 Operative, “How does this further our objective? Branson is in the one with Federation influence!”
Agent Wu looked at the Tellarite, “Branson believes that a Romulan Mayor will attract the exiled Romulans to Cradol and that in turn will give her population. With size comes influence.”
“What does Section 31 think of this approach?”, the Tellarite Admiral looked at the infamous double agent.
“Section 31 did not even know that Branson and her cronies had survived the Romulan Task Force. We believed that the King’s Fleet had come to an end as a tool to further Section 31 objectives. We have not yet devised a plan for the appropriate use of the small but influential group of vessels.”, Agent Wu confessed.
“What does this mean for my Tellarite objectives?”, Admiral Baan’Haal looked at the operative.
“Section 31 sees the benefit of the Tellarite influence in the Federation as good for the status quo. Section 31 supports and supported your efforts to take Romulan colonies including Cradol. What you do with that new found size is your business, Admiral.”, Agent Wu looked at Baan’Haal.
“And what is the Federation’s next move?”, Baan’Haal tried to pump the Section 31 operative for information.
“Admiral Wilson has not taken a position on the Tellarite Territories as yet. The Federation has blood on its hands from abandoning the Romulans and is likely supportive of a Federation loyalist like Nicole Branson taking in Romulans even if Branson is not always easily managed.”, Agent Wu offered.
“Something you will soon learn, Admiral.”, Agent Wu taunted.
“Branson and I have a deal.”, Baan’Haal countered.
“Others have thought they could snow Space Barbie and she somehow comes out on top. Be careful with Branson, she is a slippery one.”, Wu warned, owing to her long history with the human.
Baan’Haal laughed, “Leave Branson to me.”
Agent Wu headed to her shuttle, “Cardassians, Romulans and even Klingons have made the same bold statement, Admiral. You will note who is still surviving.”
