As the Midway came about and headed into high warp, the Commodore stood up from his Command chair. ":Cmdr. Mitchell you have the bridge, I'll be in my ready room". "Aye Sir". The Commodore walked in to his ready room and sat down in his chair, and breathed out a long sigh...Just then his Comm badge chirped "Higgins here", it's was the Communication's officer's voice he could just tell that by the dull Vulcan tone in voice... :Sir, the Nazgul is on an open channels with the Dominion", "Can we get a visual?", "Yes sir". "All right put it on the main view screen I'm on my way". The Commodore heads back to the bridge, and to think about it he had been up for 48hrs now, need sleep........ When the Commodore got to the bridge he looked toward the view screen to see Adm, A talking to a Vorta, and from what he gathered they had RAdm Kbee, whom they got in exchange for the crew of the USS Falcon, and now she's making a deal with him to exchange Kbee for a Vorta we have behind bar's...."Sir, we are still an hour out from the rendezvous point" Lt. Tok spoke up from the helm".. "Inform the Nazgul on a secure channel that our ETA is one hour" he paused....then tapped his comm pin "Attention Crew, this is the Commodore, as of now we are under a full red alert, man your post's, this could get hairy, Commodore Higgins,,,,out".............................

Counselor Teagra, who was currently filling in for communications as the comm
officers was needed elsewhere, relayed the message from Commodore Higgins of
the USS Midway to Adm A*. She had just finished talking the Vorta who now held
RAdmiral Kbee into an exchange for a Vorta prisoner she hoped FAdmiral Bailey
had arranged to have brought in from Stafleet. Adm A* was really dealing
blind as she had not even heard whether or not FAdmiral Bailey had been able
to make the arrangements. However, it bought some time as it gave the Vorta a
reason to stay in the area rather than just depart with its present prize.
As Adm A* started to hear of from other ships who were on their way to her
coordinates, another plan began to form in her mind. "Counselor Teagra,
contact all ships who have sent word that they are on thier way. Send it
encrypted and buried in a tachyon stream. Attach a trigger signal that will go
off only if it encounters a USC signature so that only USC ships will look for
any message. We do not want this to be picked up by any Jem Had'dar ships.
Tell them that when they arrive, take up positions surrounding the Vorta's
ship and be on alert for any cloaked Jem Had'dar ships in the area. We may be
able to pressure this Vorta into releasing RAdmiral Kbee without having to
trade Starfleet's prisoner."
"Aye, Admiral." Teagra replied as her long fingers danced gracefully over her
keyboard.
"All I can do now is wait," Adm A* thought to herself. She knew she was
gambling with Kbee's life, but there was always the last resort of taking Kbee
by force, if need be. Whatever it took, Adrienne was NOT going to leave Kbee
in the hands of the Vorta and its Founders.
