: : : : : 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…"

: : : : 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."
: : : :
: A very slight shift in the dark haired woman's head showed her working. "Codes transferred as per the transfer of command," SARAH's voice said distantly, as it usually did when she was in avatar mode.
:
: : : : 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
: : :
: "Well Lieutenant Alindor is the only senior officer on board currently," SARAH told Striker, not sure how he classified her yet. She was wary of a new CO and uncertain how he would react to her. "The rest are on the surface dealing with the situation there."
:
: : : Another phaser shot hit the port side of the Saracen and B'Ator's face reappeared =^=Retreat from this colony immediately or be destroyed.=^=
: : :
: Anyone paying attention would notice that at the exact moment the shot hit the ship, SARAH visibly winced, as if in pain.
:
: : : 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.

: :
: "There is a Ferengi ship on the far side of the moon captain," SARAH reported.
: :
: : 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.
: :
: SARAH cut the comm, and looked at the CO expectantly.
:
: : "....As I was saying, all avaiable senior officers to the briefing room."
: :
: : Striker stood up and headed off of the bridge.
: :
: : - Captain Striker CO
:
: SARAH looked at Jarred, rather uncertain. "Do you think he wants me there too? Maybe I should stay here." The last time she had intruded on a meeting (albeit, not a senior staff meeting), it had been awkward at times. But then again, they had been talking about her and it was clear they had needed her input. The avatar sighed. On top of this all Levi was back and that made her… edgy.

B'Ator's face only snarled more, they were not going to get in the way of the Klingons taking over this hunk of rock for their own purposes. She too saw the Ferengi ship coming into view, what were they doing here...could her day possibly get any worse. "Fire on their weakest point." She said referring to the Saracen "Fire on their nacelles." The shot was a direct hit on the port nacelle causing minor damage to the nacelle itself.

The Ferengi ship was moving into a lower orbit completely ignoring the two ships that were in the stand off. It seemed that they were seizing the opportunity to do whatever it was that they were planning on doing.

It currently seemed that everyone wanted a part of New Shanghi and that the only people that didn't have a clue what was actually going on were the inhabitants of New Shanghi.
