"Sir incoming message from the Nazgul, audio only", "on speakers" the Commodore replied. Over the comm system came Adm A* voice. "All ship's in route take-up positions surrounding the Vorta ship and await my order's:, that transmission was quick and to the point. "Sir, in range of the Nazgul now" . The Commodore sat their for a second taking in the scene......"Bring us out of Warp to half impulse, take us around to the back side of that Vorta ship, they know that were here, raise shields and stand ready on the Quantum torpedoes". The Commodore watched his crew bounce into action. As he watched his crew, his thought's turned to RAdm Kbee. got herself into a mess this time, and being 1/2 Bajorin he felt that it was his duty to help her in any way possible. " Cmdr Mitchell, head to the battle bridge and keep a watch on the other Jem Hadar ship's and be on the look out for other ship's of our fleet" "Aye Sir" Cmdr Mitchell replied. "I hate to see him go but it was the final mission for his XO, as he was to be reassigned to DS9 as an Engineer.. they were to get his replacement when they get to DS9. "Communication's open a secure channel to the USS Quicksilver- "RAdm Threat's this is the USS midway, we have joined up with the task force and Nazgul, we are advising you of our location Higgins out!" the Commodore tapped his comm badge- "Attention crew, we are now in the thick of thing's and I know you will do me well...may the prophets be with us...Commodore Higgins out...." The Commodore was itching for something, the war was starting to get personal, and them messing with Kbee didn't help........"send message to the Nazgul....the Midway is at your deposal"...........................................

As the USS Quicksilver near DS9,RAdm Threats IV could feel the tension in
the air and in space, he told Lt. Cmdr Jarok to slow to Impulse
power. "Aye, sir" replies the Commander, " place up shields......
Crimson Alert." RAdm Threats then Asks Lt. Narik to implement long range sensors and look for any of our vessels in the Area. Lt. Narik said that there is a legion of
Federation vessels the USS Nazgul is closer.
RAdm Threats IV orders, "plot intercept course for the USS Nazgul Warp 8......Engage." As the USS Quicksilver picks up speed again to intercept the USS Nazgul, the
Quicksilver sensors picks up 5 Jem'Hadar warships leaving from the where
abouts of the wormhole. Threats says Lt. Narik open a channel to the USS
Nazgul, "Channel Open Sir", replies Narik. The RAdm begins to speak Admiral
Paradis, "I have just picked up 5 Jem'Hadar warship leaving the wormhole
and they are about 1 LY behind me I will be turning around to ward them
away from us."

As commander Harkleroad sat on the bench in the arboretum running possible
outcomes to this siutation in his head his comm badge beep and a meesage a
voice announced that there was incoming audio from Admiral A*. "Patch it
through to me!" After he recieved the orders from the admiral for all
ships to surround the Dominion vessals that were with the Mariner he made
the following annoucement, "All members of the senior staff report to the
bridge observation lounge, immediately!"
As the commander walked across the bridge his face was calm and cool as
always, and he quickly disappeared into the observation lounge. "Computer,
display tactical triangulation of the current position of the Adm A*'s
group, Adm Cliff's group, the Dominion forces encountered on our scans, and
the Dominion forces at the Adm A*'s position. Also include the Victorius'
current position."
On the screen appeared the tactical map that the commander had requested.
"Our mission is very simple...we have successfuly diverted two Cardassian
warships from pursuing us, they are now on their way to try and figure out
what the mark IV probe we sent is. However, we are still being pursued by
most the Dominion group we entered Cardassian space to get the attention
from. Look here though, Adm Cliff is closing in and I am betting that the
Dominion group will be changing it's posture to take on Cliff. On starship
just isn't the same threat as an group of starships. Which leaves the
Falcon, Nazgul, Mariner, and the Dominion forces who are hold Adm Kbee.
With a major skirmish looking like it's about to take place in Cardassian
space I don't think those two Jem'Hadar ships are going to want to stay in
an outmatched position against Adm A* and besides we will be to their
postion in less than 30 minutes and it looks like the Midway is also
bearing in on their positon.
We should be able to get Kbee back from the Dominion merely on the fact
that those Dominion forces are outnumbered. The Vorta that negotiated the
trade for Adm Kbee made a terrible mistake, he gained no advantage that I
can see. As for the Dominion ships following us. I am quite sure that Adm
Cliff will take care of them. Despite my great confidence that every thing
is going to turn out perfectly I want us prepared to attack the Jem'Hadar
forces holding Adm Kbee. We are going in there in red alert with all of
our phaser banks charged and I want all quantum and photon tropidoe bays
loaded and I want all weapons systems locked on the Jem'Hadar the moment we
come into range. Is that understood!" The senior staff all nodded a yes
to the commander and then followed him on the bridge. He stpped in front
of the command chair and announced shipwide, "Red alert, all hands to
battlestations; I repeat, red alert!" The commander turned to the tactical
officer and repeated his earlier instructions conserning arming all
weapons. The commander sat down in the command chair and said, "Wahtever
is going to happen is about to happen! Let's be prepared!"
