FAdm sat in his ready room on the Akagi going over what was download into the Akagi's computer from the Pres. of the Federation, he didn't know what to think about the new order that could possible change the Federation. The FAdm new that he must carry out these orders unless as it stated that the Pres. Himself called the order back but he new if this happened that to call this back could be a nightmare for the Federation. The FAdm punched up a few codes on the terminal, This is the FAdm to all Admiralty board Command personal, you are hereby order to report to DS9 and meet with me, this is a priority 1 message, to supercede any other orders you may have a current. All Division Cmdr stands ready for a emergency transmission in a short while, put your ships on yellow alert! Futher orders to follow!!!!! So Order by Fleet Admiral Cliff Bailey Jr CIC USC Forces

----------------------------------------------------------------
As Captain Mudra sits in his ready room going over his personal messages, he is interrupted by a stark voice bounding out of his communications badge - "Captain, Long Range Communication Message report a Fleet Wide Priority One Message from Starfleet Command, Do you want it patched through to your console?" Go ahead Comms.
There was a few seconds of silence, onboard the USS Bata, it felt as if we were the only people in the universe, next minute the Captain's harsh penetrating voice, broke the silence - "RED ALERT, SHIELD UP - HELM, SET COURSE FOR DS9 MAXIMUM WARP - ALL OFFICERS TO MY READY ROOM - COMMS,SEND REPLY TO STARFLEET COMMAND AND VADM KBEE THAT WE ARE ENROUTE, E.T.A. 4 HOURS" Aye Sir.
The USS BATA swung around like it had reached the end of its tether and warped out of the system for Deep Space Nine. All the Officers rushed to the Captain's Ready room, wondering what has happened or what is about to happen. They start to stream into the room, the CPO Johns (First Officer), Dr Cross, Councilor Maris, the CPO Retyoun(Chief Engineer), and the Chief of Security all take up seat and looking at the Captain whom is Starring out the window and then each other.
Captain Mudra turns around and starts pacing while his is talking - "Thank you for all getting here so hastily.....As you know we have gone to red alert, and changed course for Deep Space 9.....(the captain looks worried).....the situation there is unknown at present, I guess
it has something to do with the Dominion?.....But we should find out when we get there, the entire Federation fleet is also enroute.....I want status reports of all systems, divisions and crew in 3 hours. Any faults I wantthe highest priority on repairing them before our arrival at
DS9. I place Councilor Maris in charge in obtaining any supplies we require upon docking. Let you staff know what is going on. Thank you all. Dismissed".
The officers file out of the room, in a hurry to get to their divisions, as Captain Mudra sits back down. He spins around on his chair and continues to look out at space, thinking, wondering, worrying about whathe will find out at Deep Space 9.
---------------------------------------------------------
The USS BATA is now 1 hour from Deep Space 9, He calls another meeting of the officers to get their reports on the ships condition. The captain looks over the reports....."We do, Thank you for being so prompt with these reports." He continues to ready them..."Ok, Dissmissed, I Will call you if I require more information, There is nothing major is there?" He asks, They respond.."No Sir, All Systems, and crew staffing and condition check out."..."Great. Councillor, have you complied a list of supplies required on our arrival at DS9?..The Councillor responds "Yes, Just some basic supplied for the replicators, the Bar, and I have decided to get some fresh food supplies if available. It will boost moral."..."Good work, Councillor, Dissmissed All."...The Captain then browsers over the reports again, there is a transmission over the Captains comms badge from Navigation..."Captain, We are approaching Deep Space Nine."...."Ok, Drop to Impulse and contact Deep Space 9 and request permission to dock, I am on my way."..."Yes, Sir."....The Captain gets up and proceeds to the Bridge. On entering the Bridge He looks out the Main View screen, to see a mass of Federation Starships, Docked and Orbiting Deep Space Nine, The View Screen then Changes, To see Commander Worf, Standing in Ops at DS9..."Welcome Captain, What is you Status, Do you require repair?".."No Commander, Just some supplies, not important, We are in good shape."..."Very well then, You can go in orbit. I am sending your orbit coordinates. I will notify the FAdm that you have arrived."...."Thank you Commander"...the screen show the station again..."Captain we have the coordinates, going into orbit now."...So the USS BATA, swings into orbit around DS9 with all the other Federation vessels. "Comms, also notify VAdm Kbee of our arrival."..."Yes Sir.".....I am still concerned about what we are about to go into to............

Arrival At Deep Space 9:
The U.S.S. Sun Eagle, followed by the Task Force under the command of Admiral Starr L'Xidex, arrived at Deep Space 9. The Task Force took up it's assigned position in orbit just beyond DS9.
Admiral Starr was immediately cleared to transport.
Chief Security Officer Odo met Admiral Starr with six secuirty officer in the transporter room.
"Admiral Starr L'Xidex's identity is conformed by transporter DNA scan," announced the
transporter chief.
"Welcome aboard Admiral Starr," said Odo.
"Thank you Consolable Odo," Starr smiled, stepping down.
"If you'll come this way, the Fleet Admiral is anxiously waiting for you."
"Lead the way."
Odo walked beside the Admiral, while two security guards lead the way, two followed behind,
and two were on either side of her.
"Beefing up security are we?"
"Beefing up ...?"
"Increasing .. It's an old Earth slang term. A sort of hobby of mine."
"Oh, yes. We have many people from different ships in and out of DS9 these days. These men will remain at your side during your stay."
"Very well."
People quickly stepped out of the way when they saw the security team coming. Starr felt the
stares following her and sensed the various emotions of anxiousness, fear, and determination.
They stopped outside a conference room. The cooridor was lined with security officers.
"Admiral Starr L'Xidex to see the Fleet Admiral, " Odo announced.
One of the security guards at the door opened it. Both security guards at the door stepped aside so Starr could enter.
A familiar figure stood in front of the window had been gazing out at the ships. It turned and
Starr recognized the Fleet Admiral. There were dark circles under his eyes. His skin was pale and he looked exhausted.
Starr saluated. He returned the saluate.
"Cliff you look like ..."
"I know. No need to tell me."
Starr quickly moved over to the Fleet Admiral's side.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine I'm just tired."
"Sit down before you fall down," Starr ordered, practically shoving the Fleet Admiral into a cushioned chair.
"Have you at least been eating right?"
"Well, ..."
"I thought so. You stay right there."
Starr went over to the room's food replicator and ordered a meat and vegetable stew with six large buttermilk biscuits. and a large glass of cold milk. Starr placed it in front of the Fleet Admiral.
"There's no time," Cliff murmured.
"Do we have to wait for the rest of the Admiralty Board?"
"Yes."
"Then eat while you can."
"Yes, mother."
"Eat!" Cliff smiled and began to eat. He hadn't realized how hungry he was until he had started eating. He quickly ate every bite.
"More?"
"No. Any more and I'll fall asleep. Thanks, I needed that."
"How soon will the others arrive?"
"Admiral Speechkart is already aboard. He's busy preparing a brief for us. Admiral Paradaris should be here in about an hour or two."
"Then lay down on that sofa and take a nap."
"But I have to keep track of the ship arrivals and staffing."
"Relax, I'll do it."
"Well, ..."
"As the highest ranking medical officer in Starfleet I order you to take a nap. Don't worry. When Adrienne arrives we'll wake you to start the meeting."
"Very well."
The Fleet Admiral laid down on the sofa in the back of the room and immediately dozed off.
Starr sat at the computer console and got to work.
*********************************************************************************************
The USS Nazgul A pulled up the the pylon at DS9, impressive as a Prometheus class ship in all it's glory. It's battle weary crew glad for the break and a chance to read up and study the ship's workings. It's not like there were many people they could ask, since the design was so knew. But first, a break at Quarks.
Adm A* put in a message to FAdm Bailey that she had arrived and was told he was napping.
"Let him rest" she said. "Inform Admiral Speechkart of my arrival."
