Six gave a curtious smile, but a typical Borg response.
"Your reference to my promotion is gratfully recieved, thankyou, but I will be glad when Brand is, I believe the term is, under lock and key!"

"Everyone will feel safer when she's locked up tight and they melt the key." Tarni nodded looking away from the captain for a moment to see the nervous twitch her daughter tried to hide.

"Quite"
She watched the court room fill and said.
"It appears they are ready"

The courtroom was full of official Starfleet personnel, Federation diplomats and a select few members of the media. All had gone through a rigorous background and physical security screening process before being allowed access to the hearing. The hard part was the fact that Brand had made many enemies that were in such positions, as well as allies who now might want her dead.

The ex-admiral was escorted into the court room from a side door, which led to a security area that was now manned with four times the number of regular personnel. Not to mention the armed officers throughout the court room, and those that were dressed in civilian clothing and intermingled with the spectators.

Brand, despite her recent fall from power, entered the court room as if she still commanded vast authority within Starfleet and the Federation. Even in the jumper outfit that all inmates wore, Brand looked every bit the flag officer she had recently been. She finally was escorted to stand next to her advocate, only sitting once the presiding panel of judges were seated. As the audience settled into their seats, Paul raised his gavel and let it hit it's base several times.

Paul looked straight into Brand's eyes as he spoke his first words to start this court martial. No anger in his eyes, or recrimination, only the cold stare of one who was set upon his goal and his duty. Short of his death, nothing would stop Paul from seeing this through. "Defense, I know that your client has already entered a plea, but I will ask if you desire to stick with your prior plea or enter a new one at this time."

tag Brand or her Advocate/Attorney

"Very well, the we'll start this hearing. Defense, please make your opening statement."

The Advocate for Brand stood slowly, he surveyed the room and replied.
"Your honour, my client re affirms her last statement of not guilty"

He then coughed, he wasn't sure what Brand wanted him to do, the case was pretty hopeless, but there was something in her demenour that gave him cold chills up his spine, still he began.

"Your honour, people of the court and the good people of the jury, here stands before you a woman who was led into a world of deception by an evil and cruel minded individual, her plea your hounour, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is that she was lead by Agent Carrington against her will into this most terrible of crimes unwillingly and stayed the course only to help the Federation eventually help them defeat the wicked women, which of course they eventually did"

Brands defense was simply that, she didn't mean any harm, it wasn't her fault, she was just waiting for an opportunity to step in and take Carrington down herself and was about to do so when she was arrested, simply a bigger crock of crap had never been heard in a court house before.

"So you honour and people of the jury, my client stands before you today charged unfairly of the crime of high treason, when if it was not for her actions, the entire Federation would have collapsed under the weight of Carringtons tryany, please find it in your hearts, to free this poor suffering woman"
The poor man wanted to shake his head and cry, but it was not the professional thing to do, but after this, he would retire from this world of bullshit.


Four of ten would have shaken her head in disgust at the defence councils words were she not shaking from head to toe from suppressed rage, she was holding onto her temper so tightly her head and hands were shaking as she starred at Brand.

Tarni chanced a look at her daughter and saw her shake, Ke'eta didnt feel the cold. She reached over and took her daughters hand, twining her fingers through Ke'eta's silver covered fingers.

"Shhh sweet one, be calm." Tarni said in a whisper.

Four didnt take her eyes off Brand but she nodded her head once and the shaking stopped, though trembling vibrations ran through her body as she held her blood lust in check.

Mason had been working furioulsy.
"Confirmation sir, this Uridian freighter has been to Gornok prime in the Romulan sector and then to Lazon 3, where Starfleet and independant intel have just informed me Captain that sections of all Cardassian and Romulan goverments are split, their in as much of a mess as we are on Earth sir, but the over riding factor is the desire to get the Codes of Power at all costs, they saw what Carrington was going to do and has possibly done, they want to protect themselves at all costs ....SIR...there firing at us!"
The ship rocked hard.

Alain snarled and looked at his commander, then to Riddick.
"Take out their weapons systems Major"
The burly man gave a short sharp nod and a bolt of fire jolted from the ship, to everyones surprise and horror the ship it faced exploded instantly, Picard shouted.
"Major I said disable it NOT destroy it"?

Riddick shrugged.
"Captain, trust me, that hit was just hard enough to total their weapons no more, perhaps the Commander has a more indepth analyasis"
He looked down at his girlfreind Andi Mason.

With padd in hand William had found life aboard the Valiant fascinating, he had been taken from the U.S.S. Atlanta and moved only a week before, but new he was going to get a senior officer soon, when he saw her it was like looking back in time, this woman had the energy of someone who knew what they were doing and had the air and confidence to pull it off, with a gentlemany smile he wandered up and said in his quiet tone.
"Umm mamm, I'm Lt Jg William Jackson, your assistant, firstly Lt, welcome to the Valiant and secondly, anything you want me to do?"
He said with a charming but respectful smile.

He left the bridge and found Katrell with no problems, quickly returning to the Major.
"You are right, Major. It does not seem right. It bothers me."

She gave a shrug of her shoulders
"Still we can use their technology against others, but the Borg"
She shook her head, she hated them, they had killed thousands of her warriors, but loved the way the Federation Borgs had been in their desire to become individuals, they were true warriors

"The Borg. They are a disturbing race. Call themselves a race. A collective. They are nothing of the sort. They are pieces of a mismatched, what do humans call it.....? jigsaw puzzle. Made up of beings from countless other worlds. How dare they call themselves a race. Tahqeq tahkeck," he swore.

She laid a hand on his shoulder and said quietly for a change.
"Enough K'Taal, instal the device and get to your post"

"Yes. Sorry Major. Are we at departure stations?" K' Taal was beginning to enjoy being around her.

She sat slowly in her seat and said.
"Yessssss, HELM....take us to the nutreal zone, where we can only hope to meet our prey hahaha....K'Taal?"
She said smiling.
"Why don't you take the first officers chair next to me, we fight together, you can access tactical from there"
She smiled and patted the seat, she hadn't had a mate for some years and was finding this warrior effecting her.

Tag K'Tall.

As the ship sped through the stars she said to her right hand man.
"Monitor this region of space Captain, you know the Romulans, their devious sneaky and cowardly, as we approach the nutreal zone inform me of our status, but go to cloak in 2 minutes"

Fiona looked at options and said.
"Mamm, I have one option, if you going to do what I think your going to do, I suggest dropping out of warp just off Bajor at the Denoris Belt, it would give us cover, should we just happen to um, you know spot anything"
She winked.

"Sounds a plan me darlin"
She winked back, forgetting it would only stimulate Fionas sexual desires, which really wasn't to difficult.

"Thank you, mamm. No questions from me at present. May I remain on the bridge for the time?"

She gave a quick response to that one.
"Damn rite, you take the Science station on the bridge, me tinks were going to be doing a fair bit o scanning mister Ta,Loer"

"Thank you mamm."
He went at sat at one of the science stations.

"Well Fiona me dear, warp two to the Denoris belt, as Becky said, lets swap......spit hahaha, crikey"
Laurie sat down and said.
"Engage Lt Paris"

Laurie sat down and said.
"Engage Lt Paris"

Fiona punched the air.
"YeY"
She hit a few keys and the ship moved away fast, heading into Cardassian space.
"Were on our way Cap....I mean Commander Wallace"
She batted her brown eyes and grinned.

For some reason Wallace didn't mind Fionas flirtation, now she was free of a relationship, she had become quite flirtatious herself, she gave a arch of her brow and replied.
"Good, good....mister Ta'Loer while were on our way, I want you to scan for any unusual energy patterns"

Tag Ta,loer.

She had a frown on her face.
"Not entirely sure Lt, just do it and see what you find, I just have a hunch those sneaky bastards are up to something"

Riddick shrugged.

He looked down at his girlfreind Andi Mason.

Andi agreed.
"His right, the force he used should have knocked out their weapons and shields, but he didn't have to, the moment he fired, they hit self destruct"
She handed the Android Commander a padd.
"Sir, the Uridian ship was sent here for a purpose, quite what I don't know, but they relayed one message back to Earth before they went, Kin, sit, you should have it on your screen by now, clean it up and display it on our computers when ready"

Kin'sit bowed her head to the commander and her fingers went to work cleaning up th signal, pin pointing it, adjusting it, and finally....

"By Azhure's stars and all the powers of Elune." Kin'sit hissed in surprise before puting the message up on the screen.

*Tag Captain, Commander, everyone on Enterprise bridge*

"I dont belive it." Kin'sit shook her head, her eyes wide with surprise.

"Umm mamm, I'm Lt Jg William Jackson, your assistant, firstly Lt, welcome to the Valiant and secondly, anything you want me to do?"
He said with a charming but respectful smile.

Thalia took a step back to meet his eyes without craning her neck. It never looked very professional to seem like you're staring from the floor. "Well, firstly: thank you, Mr. Jackson; and secondly: How long have you been aboard this fine ship?"

<tag Jackson>

"Well, that's a week longer than I have. Perhaps you can show me the bells and whistles, and let me know what you've observed? I'm coming off the Siagon, which frankly, is little more than an oversized shuttlecraft. It's good to be on a proper ship again.

"Have you met much of the crew yet?"

<tag Jackson>

"I'm personally on a mission to become familliar with each and every cadet in Engineering. Too often I've seen senior officers refer to their crew as 'You, there!'. So, Lt. Jg William Jackson, I think we're getting off to a fine start. Now, let's have a look at those crystals."

<tag Jackson>

Thalia liked the man already. He has a good smile. It's been a long time since she had smiled a genuine smile, but it seemed to come so easily to her new assistant. Yes, they were going to get along just fine.
