"Allright doctors, I'll be off now...thanks for the help and the tip. I'll stay away from the icecream from now on http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>"

*He nods to the docs and the officers that had just entered sickbay*

"That is a good idea Admiral http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>"

*Marcet turns around and walks out of the Embassy towards CC.*

"Admiral, welcome to Station Avalon. I must admit that they have a good chef around here, but ofcourse...Starfleet can't make a real Cardassian Dinner http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>"

"Welcome ambassador, I am the Cardassian representative on Station Avalon. So, you are the ambassador from DS12, it seems we are partners then, ambassador partners that is http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>"

*Walks over to a computerconsole*

"You said something about an explanation about the daily work in an embassy. Well infact, it's not that complecated. In this embassy we all work together, to keep and preserve the band between the different species. All ambassadors have the chance to express their opinions on the regular meetings we have. On those meetings we talk about relevant issues that concern all involved parties. We are also invited to meetings between new species, we are the ones who negotiate and we are the back-up for the admirals that are also present. An embassy office is just like a hotel, only all customers are friends and now eachother well http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>"

"Well, I suggest we go to Celtic Corner before we starve http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>"

"A so we will be seeing each other again, only then we represent other stations http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>. So a taskforce is going to take DS12 back, well I have noticed the large number of ships stationed at Avalon. I am sure they will succeed, but they would be really victorious when several Cardassian Cruisers would be with them..."

"Ah yes, ofcourse forgive me...I haven't slept in some days and this whole thing about moving from station to station has broken me up. Would you please excuse me, I think I need some rest. Shall we continue this conversation another time ambassador http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>"

*Walks into the Embassy and tries to find Ambassador Dailik*

"Sir, I am one of the new Cardassian representatives onboard the station, good to finally meet you http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>."

*Turns to Ambassador Daillik*

"Well ambassador, the last update told me that Cardassia Prime is growing again. The birthrate is increasing and also it's healthrate. Cardassia Prime was dealing with a strong flue, it was rapitly going from city to city and it hit several major places. Luckily our best scientists have found the cure and ensured the health of the brave Cardassian Citizen. But tell me dear ambassador, how do you deal with new alliances/species here onboard this station. Maybe it would be a good idea, to share the contacts we have in this quadrant, it would be a profit to both of us"

"But you choose your companions well, I presume. There has to be some kind of profit, since you are so far away from Earth http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>"

*Looks at Rugal.*
"It seems we will finallly get to see some action again at last, after such a long while of lingering. I look forward to see Vontak Nor again, don't you, admiral?"

Marcet looks at his Commanding Officer, Admiral Rugal.

"I think this would be a great change to get our station up and running again admiral. Maybe with the presence of the Loxians, we would be able to represent the real thing which the Cardassian Empire stands for!"

"As am I General Zentox, I have faith in this new alliance. What do you think Admiral Rugal?"

Marcet suddenly felt this strange feeling, he felt as if he wasn't in his place. What should he do, try  to negotiate with this Loxian.

"Mr Zentox, please forgive me but that was our past. What we did in our past may have been terrible, but your people have also commited harsh actions against the Cardassian Empire. I am a man of forgiving oneother, please let us forgive"

Marcet reached out his hand and awaited Zentox'

"I'm more than willing to help this new alliance to be born. It is only - how much, 10 years? - ago, that our people were still enslaving the Bajorans, and even less long ago that our people collaborated with the Dominion to take over the entire quadrant. And now here we sit, two Cardassians, one Loxian and one human Starfleet officer, discussing the very fact that we will share one Cardassian space station with both Loxians and Starfleet. Clearly, our people have evolved over the last few years, and I am more than eager to be part in this new alliance between Cardassians, Loxians and Starfleet."
*Then he turns to admiral Rugal.*
"Please, admiral Rugal, grant me permission to go with you and Zentox back to Vontak Nor, and help this alliance to succeed. After all, Vontak Nor is abandoned and probably in a bad state. You will need people who can get it fully operational again, and also people to keep it running."
