<DIV>~~Tal Shiar Headquarters~~</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Tal stood in the antechamber awaiting an agent of Tal Shiar.
He'd been told that he and his Bird of Prey, I.R.C. 1167 Toravek, were to
be assigned a critical mission. What that mission was, he was here to find
out.</DIV>
<DIV>Tal had seen the vid their government had put out and was naturally
incensed. How could the Terrans attack innocent woman and children? The Romulan
Star Empire would make them pay for this barbarous act.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Adm. Tomalak stepped out of his office with another man. Upon seeing
the admiral, Tal stood at attention. The captain waved his hand and said,"At
ease Cmdr. Pardek. As you know the Terrans had the nerve to attack us. Our first
step in obtaining retribution, will be to sabotage one of their diplomatic
missions." Tal replied,"Sir, would it not be better to send a fleet to destroy
one of their outposts?" The admiral smiled and answered,"I like your way of
thinking commander. However, the Praetor does not agree at this time. So we will
do something else. May I introduce Sublieutenant Alidar Barel of the Tal Shiar.
He will explain your mission. Sublieutenant?"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Alidar stepped forward and said,"Admiral, commander, our agents have
learned that the Terran Starfleet Command has sent the Meridian under the
command of that arch war criminal, Capt. Roger Finney, to Regulus Prime. He is
there to pick up Ambassador Sarah Berger and take her to Vulcan. There she is to
try to allay the Vulcans fears and keep them in their alliance. Your mission
commander is to take me and rendezvous with the Meridian. There will be a comet
passing near them. You will with the use of your cloaking device, hide in the
comet's tail. When the Meridian nears the comet, perhaps to study it, you will
decloak only long enough to beam me aboard. I will sabotage the Meridian, so it
will slow down and make them miss their arrival time at Vulcan."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Tal replied,"Sublieutenant, why not sabotage the Meridian and make
it explode? What better revenge than to destroy the ship and kill the ones
responsible for..." Alidar interrupted and said,"Because the Praetor does not
wish it at this time. If my sabotage doesn't slow the Meridian sufficiently, I
shall poison the ambassadors food, killing her. After I signal you, you will
again decloak only long enough to beam me back aboard the Toravek. We will then
proceed home. Is the mission clear to you Cmdr. Pardek?"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Tal knew better than to argue with a Tal Shiar agent, even one of
lesser rank than he was. Tal stood at attention and replied,"Understood." Alidar
nodded and answered,"Good, then with your permission admiral, I'll be on my
way." Adm. Tomalak smiled and said,"By all means Sublieutenant." Tal and Alidar
then headed to the Toravek. </DIV>
