: : : There was the proof that sometimes it was easier to do something yourself. Hopefully people wouldn't freak out that SRAH went over their heads, but time was of the essence.
: : :
: : : : : Almost as suddenly as everyone was back aboard, the Klingon ship turned its weapons on the Saracen and fired a warning shot and B'Ator's face came on the screen =^=You have created a hostile environment on the colony of New Shanghi. You are now considered an enemy of the Klingon Empire.=^= SHe growled =^=Our next shot will not miss.=^=

: : : SARAH checked to make sure the shields were back up and called out to the viewscreen. =/\ Last I checked, the Empire and the Federation were allies, which makes your acts the hostile ones. I frankly don't think the Empire will condone your dishonourable actions, so if you want to try and attack, be my guest," SARAH said fiercely, her unnaturally blue eyes seeming to glow.

: : : "Arm phasers and photon torpedoes," the avatar ordered.

: : : : After a few moments the bridge turbo lift doors opened and Captain Striker stepped out onto the bridge.
: : : :
: : : : "Report?"
: : : :
: : : : He asked as he headed down into the center of the bridge.

: : : : Captain Striker CO
: : :
: : : OOC: You didn't answer my question RJ so I can respond properly. ;) Would the CO transfer orders have been forwarded to the Saracen before his arrival? If so SARAH would be anticipating his arrival, if not, she'd be surprised and wary. :P
: :
: : OOC: Sorry, Yes they would have come through say 15-20 mins before Striker was trasnported aboard.

: : : IC:
: : : SARAH turned to face the newcomer. Striker would see a slim woman in a command red uniform with two solid pips. She had long jet black hair and somewhat unnervingly blue eyes. "The Klingons are getting jumpy and making threats. Rather silly thing to do against a Pendragon class battle cruiser, but hey, I'm not judging…"
: : :
: : : ~SARAH
: :
: : Striker looked at SARAH and nodded, his face betraying no signs of what he was thinking at the new about the Klingons.
: :
: : "Well, if they want to make threats, they can do so for as long as they want. However if they decide to impede the investigation and the aid we will be providing to New Shanghai ....... They will find that I don't make threats."
: :
: : Striker walked over and eyed his new chair before resting one hand on its arm.
: :
: : "Computer, All command codes to be transferred to me Captain John M Striker."
: :
: : Striker sat down in the chair and returned his gaze to SARAH.
: :
: : "Once the Klingons have finished grinding their teeth, I want all senior officers to meet in the briefing room. We need to regroup and share information on the situation on New Shanghai."
: :
: : Captain Striker CO
:
: Another phaser shot hit the port side of the Saracen and B'Ator's face reappeared =^=Retreat from this colony immediately or be destroyed.=^=
:
: On the far side of the moon, the ghost of a ship became clearer as the ship came out of hiding, heading directly for the two ships that were now in a stand off. It was a Ferengi ship. It remained at a distance and did not interfer, almost as if it was waiting for the other two ships to destroy each other.

Striker half smiled at the Klingon on the screen.

=^= If you think to impede a Federation investigation and open fire on this vessel go right ahead.... But I warn you Commander I will bot only blow your vessel into the stars I will wait until I have lowred your shields and then beam your crew into my brig suffering you the dishonor of spending the rest of youe lives in a Federation prison!=^=

Strikers words were cold and harsh, he was not known for making empty threats and had already formulated a plan in his mind to carry out his promise. He signalled the communication to be cut to allow the Klingons to think before turning back to the bridge crew.

"....As I was saying, all avaiable senior officers to the briefing room."

Striker stood up and headed off of the bridge.
