"So," Kelley looked at Korin and the three sealed packets the Fleet Captain carried. "What next?  Reveal those names involved?"
"No."  Korin's voice betrayed nothing.  "It would serve no purpose at this time.  Each government will have to deal with its own internal problems.  They will have to deal with those within those governments who allow this crime, if they do not, none of us will survive the next attack on them.  When that happens, the Romulans, Klingons, and the Federation will all be erased from history...with nothing left but ruins and relics to be studied by the future."

"But it must be made known," argued Alexander.

"To what purpose?" Korin arched a brow.  "Continuation of an unjust war?  The very acts only prove that unless we cease our conflicts, no one will be able to resist the coming storms."

Korin picked up his commbadge, newly modified. At first glance, it appeared a standard SF CommBadge; however, closer examination revealed the Klingon emblem within the center.  

Kelley frowned.  "Interesting new design.  Do you think this will work?"

"Logically, yes," Korin placed the commbadge on his dress uniform.  "We will be answerable only to the High Council, and they owe the crew of the 'Star much...more than I believed.

Despite his madness, Za'Kal is correct on one item."

"The Romulans couldn't admit to any preception of needing help," Kelley finished.  "Starfleet will have it's hands full rooting out any other surprises Za'Kal left.  The Romulans are drooling at a chance to explore parts of the Delta Quadrant...which is going be more than they can truthfully handled.  And despite being stubborn, the Klingons know they're in as bad a shape as the Romulans and SF...and they have some rogue houses to locate and deal with."

"Precisely," Korin replied. "The President has given her full support, as have the Vulcans."

"There are those in SF who don't like it," Alexander added.

Kelley grinned.  "I saw her communique to those in SF COMMAND, and the Council.  She suggested if no one like it, they start looking for new career choices."

Korin checked himself in the mirror.  "Did you finally get a report on the 'Star?"

"Yes," Alexander replied. "It took a couple of days, but last report is the 'Star is enroute from the Tholian border."
Korin stopped and turned.  "Tholian border?  The Oc-tinin Nebula is on the other side of Federation space...in the Alpha Quadrant...the Tholian border and SB 24 are in the Beta Quadrant."

Alexander shrugged.

Korin arched a brow, then started for the door.  "Gentlemen, we have signing to atten
