[Charles Gatling]

Mission:  For Honor
Day: 8
Stardate: 2446.05.02

(Q'onoS - Imperial City -  Reception Hall - Chancellor Morek and CO,
Captain Sekal 1730)

It was unprecedented, embarrassing, exasperating and humiliating. The
Council had been attacked by a small, rogue house in concert with allies
and Morek himself it seems had been their target.

The Council chamber had been cleaned but was still undergoing a thorough
inspection so the talks had been interrupted for the day and resumed early
in the morning in this smaller chamber.

And they had gone quickly and decisively. Because not only had Morek's
support dwindled he now found himself indebted and that was an
insurmountable obstacle.

There were fewer hangers on today and one of the Federation Ambassadorial
party had been killed so the numbers were lower. Fewer to see his shame.
Why had the Vulcan suddenly exploded?

His gaze traveled the table until they lit on the Vulcan CO and his party.
Due to their actions he still lived. He had mixed feelings about that, not
about living but about how it had been accomplished or rather who had
accomplished it.

As for those rogue elements: Battle cruisers were already on their way to
exact punishment. The House of Antaak would effectively cease to exist.
This was the reward for their treachery.

His eyes smoldered as he placed his palms on the table and leaned forward.

"It is decided, the Kittomer Accords which stand between the Federation and
the Empire are affirmed. We will not react in force should an agreement be
reached between the Federation and the Romulan Republic...."

His eyes sizzled as they turned and met Galk's, he had effectively forced
the next point by his actions.

"... and the expansion of the Empire into the territory of the former
Romulan Star Empire is at an end." ~For now.~

"That territory which we now hold is ours and will remain ours by right of
conquest."

His eyes challenged McKenzie on that point.

(Reply: McKenzie)

Morek drew in a deep breath, he didn't smile, today had been difficult.
"Then let the Empire and the Federation continue into the future as allies."

His expression didn't change as fists began banging on tables in
celebration and shouts for bloodwine to be brought to toast the occasion
rang out. He would drink with gusto hoping to drown out the bitter taste of
the days events. And tomorrow ... there was much to do. A minor house to be
eradicated and plans made for the future.

(Reply: McKenzie, Lanista, Trei, any)
