"I'm not sure. I think we should hold him in the brigg un till Admrial Karelia talks with him about this 'asylum'."
*Turns to his team.*
"Check him for any weapons. Then escort him to the brigg. Then send a team to his ship and search it. Don't strip it down......yet."
*walks in and sees the admiral*
sir we got back to the station asp but we really have a problem that fleet was massive
The automatic defence systems engage and target the warbird and destroy it within a matter of minutes.
=/\= Commander Meridian, meet me in Transporter Room Five. =/\=
Freeman leaves Operations.
=/\= On my way. Kololblicin out.=/\=
*A few minutes later Kolo enters the brig and is puzzled about seeing a Romulan walking around free.*
"Whats going on?"
*incoming transmission from the uss ares*
this is captain drex to ds12 we are intercepting the romulan ship standby
Admiral Karelia walks into the brig and sees the Sub-Commander behind the forcefield.
"Well, I must say, I never thought I would find a Coalition officer here. I always thought Romulans would rather commit suicide than be captured."
=/\=Meridian to Freemen, Do you need some one to man the weapons systems?=/\=
"Agreed."
Freeman looks at R'Mor.
"Well, Sub-Commander, we have to place you in the brig until we can verify your claims. It's nothing personal, please believe me."
"Easy Commander. Now Mr. R Mor *Starts recording the coversation* Would you please tell us you entire story of how and why you escaped the Coillition."
"Do you know how many ships? Are they headed for the station?"
Torlok had entered the Ops deck a short while before.
=/\= Affirmative, report to Ops! =/\=
"I agree, sir."
=/\=im willing to help but im just assinged whit a new mission ill have to ask the admiral for aprovoal standby=/\=
Just then, a Romulan Warbird drops out of warp and opens fire...
...on the scout.
=/\= This is the R.C.S. Rilhan to Federation outpost! I request immediate assistance! I repeat, this is Sub-Commander R'Mor, I require immedia--- =/\=
The commlink broke as the warbird destroyed the Rilhan's comm array.
"Well, We'll get the Commodore down here in due time, but I want to have a little one-on-one chat with 'Sub-Commander' R'Mor first."
Freeman, Meridian, and 3 security officers show up in TR5.
"Well, Sub-Commander, I am apparantly at a loss. Why would a high-ranked Coalition officer suddenly show up here of all places and request assistance? I had half a mind to leave you out there and let that warbird blow you to bits, because when I see a Coalition ship in trouble, my first reaction is not usually beneficial to them."
"Admiral, I have already explained to Captain Freeman here that I wish to request political asylum in the Federation."
about 45 sir
*ares to ds12*
what should we do whit the ship we disabled there weapons and engines
" I would see no problem. The federation would like to gain more Romulan allies. But when granting an asylum it is customary for the party to defect and it also leaves less room for dout on the idea of a spy. I believe that it is standared to be further questioned to asitain what his true motives are and where his loyalties lie. These protocals being followed will smooths things over with the federation council."
=/\= Engaging transporter.....sub-commander R'Mor is aboard sir.=/\=
(Edited by Jerod OBrian at 7:01 pm on April 2, 2004)
*Clearly unhappy about the idea of the romulan outside the brig, but did as Karelia asked.*
=/\= Commander Meridian to Commodore Koloblicin. Please report to the brig. *Looks at Karelia with a sour expressen.*
It appears we have an honored guest.=/\=
A mysterious Romulan scoutship drops out of warp near DS12.
on oure way
=/\= Where? Are they coming here? Alert Karelia quickly.=/\=
Freeman hears the conversation as it carries onto Ops.
"45 Coalition warships? Good God!"
=/\= Freeman to all DS12 senior staff. Report to the Righteous immediately! I repeat, all senior staff report to the Righteous! =/\=
Freeman looks at Drex.
"Captain, I'm gonna need your help. The Righteous has a cloaking device, and I plan to sneak in and do as much damage as we can. Sabotage, covert ops, anything possible. But in case that we are discovered, I want the Ares to be there, ready to back us up."
=/\= Tractor Mr. R'Mor's scout to one of our docking ramps. We can deal with it from there. =/\=
"Well, Sub-Commander R'Mor has explained to us that he is a political refugee on the run from the Coalition, and he has requested political asylum. What do you think?"
=/\=Understood, I'll send for a security team.=/\=
"Well, I really see no reason not to, but I am going to speak with Commodore Koloblicin first. Commander, let him out. I see no reason for him to rot in the brig."
Freeman leans over to Meridian and whispers.
"I don't know about him, Sirius. What do you think?"
* When Adm. Karelia lest the brig. Sirius, Koloblicin, and Freeman escort the Sub- commander to a interigation room.*
"Time to have a nice, long chat."
(OFF: We are in the same room, you don't need a combadge :P)
"There's no time. I'll take the fall for you if the Admiral blows a gasket. We need to go now."
Freeman runs out the door headed for the Righteous.
"I cannot blame you, Captain. I myself did not expect you to help, but you did, and for that, I am eternally grateful. I assume you remember me, although the last time I was aboard your ship I was a lieutenant, and I was willing to give my life to the Coalition. I did not know their true agenda. But when I was promoted to Sub-Commander, I was briefed on the Coalition's true intention. I believed we were out here to get away from the Empire and to build an empire of our own. But when I learned the truth, I began to believe that I didn't belong there. I learned that the Coalition's true purpose is to build a military so powerful that we can attack the Empire itself! I may dislike the Empire, but I dislike the idea of a Romulan civil war much more! So I planned my escape. But I never got the chance to execute it until now. But I knew that the Federation would accept almost any enemy of the Coalition, especially after what we did to you. So Captain, I would like to formally request asylum in the Federation, and possibly even aquire a Starfleet commission, so that I may prevent the Coalition from conquering the Empire.
"You're probably right. You and Meridian can question him all you want. I'll be in my office."
Captain Freeman walks onto Ops and sees the Romulan ship.
"Red Alert! All hands to battlestations!"
*Meridian give his officers a meaningful look and they immediatly take formation around the romulan*
"Let's go"
=A=incoming transmision from the uss are=A=
this is captain drex we are patroling coalitionspace and we have detected a masive fleet gathering admiral what should we do
=/\= Affirmative, Ares. Ops to Lieutenant O'Brian, beam Sub-Commander R'Mor onboard immediately! =/\=
"He claims to be on the run from the Coalition.He wants refuge in the Federation and wants to defect. When he came here a warbird was fireing apon him.Sir, I don't know if we can trust him.Adm. Karelia, I reconmend the we bring in Comadore Koloblicin and let him talk to the romulan. He has some Empanthic and truthsayer abilities. He could be of some help. Or mabey a ...vulcan could be useful also."
