A-Team
RPG: Zari sat down on one of the bunks in a meditative pose, and closed her eyes. "I hope there isn't dishonor among these people, because you know one of the strategies that they have used before...divide and conquer." she said while her eyes were closed..

"I am Captain Zrecka," said the Valen Commander, strafing along the second level of the bridge area.
"You wonder why we close the borders of our society, and then you intrude into our sector of space? If it was up to me, I would have your 'Phoenix' incinerated with a barrage of our Valen weaponry, but the Counsel informs me it would instigate war between us and your 'Federation.' So you trepass into our territory, demonstrating the highest disrespect for our culture, then you demand information on OUR internal affairs?" Zrecka said, maintaining a cool, cold voice throughout, not doing so much as raising his voice.
"Your federation has grown arrogant. We have our reasons for closing the borders."
"What could possibly allow this?" cried Vretarn.
"The colonists of the Gemini Worlds are going to starve if this does not cease!"
Zrecka paced away from them. "It is unfortunate that they may die, but if it is believed by the Council that it is necessary to isolate our Culture from the rest of the universe, it shall be done so..." a hint of sadness could be heard in Zrecka's voice.
Zrecka turned and walked up so close to Vret that he could smell the blood on Zrecka's lips. "Please, for your own safety, tell your captain to turn the ship around. There is nothing here for you but danger and suffering. The council gives you mercy, and it would be nothing but a mere beginning to repay the debt, if you left Valen space, and returned to your worlds. I can assure you, that your ship will not survive should the Phoenix choose to proceed."
Vretarn nodded and turned away. "100,000 Colonists will die, and countless peoples will perish in the economic catastrophes that will ensue with the continued isolation of the Valen."
Zrecka smiled, and Vret could swear he saw a tear in the Valen's eye. "It's not my decision, I am a low-ranking Captain in the Valen Defense Force. Only the council decides the outcome of Valen affairs. And recently, they've gone through some changes."
Vretarn's antennae began moving, a sign of excitment. "The Redisonas, have they taken control?" Vret asked, shivering.
Zrecka shook his head. "No... No, it's much, much worse than that..."

"How much worse? If I may ask." I said. I did not wish to offend but the information was nessecery.

Jade noticed the dark noble aura of the Valen captain. A trait her Captain obviously had not been given before he left or had shaken of why on Earth. He walked each step deliberate and each world calculated and toneless other than that strong valen accent that mad her think of Terran Europe.

A- team Meanwhile A team sat in their assigned quarters until an officer arrived. "A meal is served this way" he said "It would be a great honor for you to attend." Dutton understood that at once, they weren't being asked. He stood and motioned for the others to follow. They were lead to a large dinning hall lit by quint yet atmospheric candle light from a large ornament hanging from the ceiling of the room. "Please do sit" said Lestat "You my be uninvited but you are our guests." They all looked at each other and sat before the prepared meal. "Our replicator do not usually replicate food but I am hoping it is to you taste" he said with a single glass of pure blood before him. "Replicators, another trade you made with us" commented Kal "I refuse to believe that ceasing that is all for some alien." "It's part of it" he said cupping the glass from underneath and swirling it. "And what is the other part?" asked Kal beginning to eat whatever animal it was before them. "That is for Valens to know" replied Delioncourt. "I am Valen Commander" he replied. "You are also Starfleet and have been for 20 years Captain, your blood is also not pure. Not to mention the fact we are not alone, the red skins join us." "Okay what about you?" asked Kal. "What about me" said Lestat drinking from the glass. "How do you feel about millions of lives, homes and business's being at stake here?" "I follow my orders, we are creatures of duty to the night." "And a new leader? would you favor him to." Lestat paused in silence for a moment then answered coldly "Yes."

The Valen's gaunt face was bathed in shadow, as he walked back into the darkest area of the bridge.
"I'm afraid this could turn out to be one of the biggest political disasters in Valen History," he said.
"Come into my Ready Room," said Zrecka, letting the Team B into the room.
After the door closed, Zrecka continued his explanation. "The Council would execute me for talking about this... but recently I've began to question their motives. They have an alien life form working with them, and it appears to have taken over the Valen Senate, and turned it into something of a dictatorship. This is not known by the civilian populace however. I'm sure they have an outrageous cover story out by now, to calm the citizens of the Valen Republic. They would not give me any more information than that. This is a conspiracy that controls the entire Valen Civilization, and I doubt that this will fare well without... external aid. It is uncharacteristic for the Valen to ask of help, and the Council has always been conservative in their ways."

:-*I will speak to De-court and get back to you. Dutton out He walked back into the dinning hall. "Commander I need to communicate with my men on the Majesty." "For what reason?" He asked. "They have information they wish me to hear." "You have a comlink.." "Commander please, I need to go over there." Lestat sighed "You will be escourted to the transporter" he said gesuring a guard to take him. "Thankyou" Kal said and followed. Once there he transported to the Majesty and was escourted to the ready room, he walked in and saw team B. "You have news."
