Tzhali shook his head. Those idiots..... he shook his head, he knew those pilots had gotten way to close to the ship and most likely freaked out the bridge crew on board. He had given specific orders NOT to come near the ship under any reason, but it seems some pilot wanted to have some "fun" and decided to get close anyway. "Think i'll have a talk with that pilot when this is over...." he mumbled under his breath

Meanwhile, aboard said fighter

The pilot was nervous, he hadn't been paying attention to his flight path and had wondered amazingly close to the Coalition ship, he had veered away just in time and avoided a collision, but knew he had gotten way way WAY to close. "The Admiral, for BOTH fleets are going to have a field day with me" the pilot sighed

Aboard the Wookie flagship

Tzhali's second in command was already tapping his foot hastilly, "when that pilot lands, send him to my office...." the wookie said with a hint of anger and annoyance in his tone which made every officer on the bridge work a little bit faster

Things were getting serious in space.

The sensor officer was getting more and more nervous. The Trandoshan vessel was inching a little closer to them, clearly anxious about the Wookie ships, which in turn inched closer and closer. In response, the wookies moved closer, and so forth.

"Uh.. sir?" he asked, worriedly. "What should we do?"

The captain just shrugged, uncertainly. "We better tell the ambassadors, at least. They might need to know."

So he turned on his comm, and communicated to the security panel in the meeting room.

However, there is a reason why this man is a captain, and not a diplomat. The message came in on loudspeaker, for all to hear. "Honourable ambassadors, Wookie and Trandoshan forces are getting a little too close for comfort. I suspect something is being provoked."

Embarrased, Jargur hissed into the Comm "Well can't you tell them to calm down? Everything's going fine here, there isn't anything to worry about."

"Sorry, sir, I don't speak Wookie or Trandoshan. If you want to tell them, you'll have to do it yourself."

"We are kind of busy, with the meeting and all." said Oaxaca. "Is it really that bad?"

The captain looked out as two groups of long-time racial enemies sat behind thousands of years of advanced weaponry. He suddenly decided the ship he brought simply didn't have enough shields. "Yes. Yes it is."

The Wookies and the Trandoshans are both races for the display and ceremony of fighting. They want to roar, display war trophies, grunt, beat their chests. Fightercraft aren't their favourite methode, as there is little they can do. Comm chatter, however, was beginning to fly between some of the more minor crew - suspiscion, fear, anger, and muttered threats.

Jargur turned to the meeting in general "Is this a problem? Could anyone give us a little more background on what's going on? At the least, maybe ask them not to start fighting over our notoriously poorly armored and very explodable vessel."

“We know the T’Doshok in charge of the T’Doshok ship very well ambassador.” Silliss said. “He wouldn’t do something so stupid to provoke the ship his own allies are aboard. My guess is that he’s just trying to keep his ship between us and potentially hostile forces, with the unintentional result of making the crew of this ship nervous.”

“We can assure you that the Rynok destroyer Bloodfang is of no threat to this ship.” Naosha added. “We can’t say the same for the Wookiee ships out there.”

Bloodfang

“What are those darn fool furballs playing at?” Tiosk hissed frustrated. For the past several minutes he felt like he was being stalked by these ships, but while he was certain he could take them out if things got ‘real’ ugly, he knew it would be with a terrible cost to his own ship. He didn’t know the Wookiee’s intentions, only that they outnumbered him ship wise and that they were trying to crowd him.

“Not like you to use an insulting word toward the Wookiees sir.” His second in command, Konik, said.

“Blame the stressful situation.” Tiosk muttered.

“Sir we are getting a bit close to the Ambassador ship.” His sensor officer said.

“Great…and if we try to back out we’ll end up within range of the Wookiee ships weapon fire and possibly provoke them into attacking.” Tiosk grumbled.

“What should we do sir?” Konik inquired.

Tiosk thought it over for a moment. “Swing our bow toward them and hold our current position.” He commanded. “Keep weapons and shields powered down but be ready to bring them up should it appear they are about to attack. Tell the fighter pilots to get ready for combat just in case. What other ships in our fleet are out there should this come to blows?”

“Uhh…according to the latest check in sir, the FangGore and RedClaw are thirty minutes away at sublight speed.”

“Send a message to them to close in on our position, but to stay out of sensor range. Alert them to the potential hostile intentions on the Ambassador ship from the Wookiee ships present.”

“Aye sir.”

Tzhali rubbed his forehead. "I don't know why my people are getting itchy out there, espically considering all those currently on board wanted peace." he said as he stared out. "And my 2nd in command wouldn't dare fire, or at least, not without me giving the order." he said, noting that his 2nd in command was a human, and that human limbs tear off easily"

"I also don't believe they would open fire willingly." Tzhali said with clasped hands. "Hmm... whats provoking our two fleets.."

Somewhere else a ship lurked by in an asteroid field

"Sir! I think something is going on!"

"Damn it... and after all this time!"

"I'm reading weapons build up on three wookie ships!"

"Shields coming online on a few Serendive's ships under Tzhali's command, they are not accepting the stand down order!"

"Very well, send a message for reinforcements"

"Yes sir.................. Reinforcements will arrive in five minutes, they are sending in ten destroyers, seven cruisers, five carriers, twelve gunships, and well over fifty fighters"

"Damn... HQ is going overboard, guess they want to stop this from blowing over"

"Sir... shouldn't we inform Admiral Lavality?"

"Can't... she's on Naboo and on a very important mission, she won't be back for a good while"

Five minutes later

"Reinforcements arriving in 5......4......3.......2.......1....."

The captain of the Coalition ship had to make a judgement call.

Two racial enemies appeared to be charging up and moving into position - on either side of his far too easily destroyed ship. Though he could understand the possibility that the ambassadors onboard could perhaps calm the situation down, there was always a chance that they were even advocating this sort of thing. The captain wasn't exactly up on current affairs.

As if to make matters worse, a fleet of unknown ships came out of nowhere. There is a line where duty is overruled by self-preservation. The captain grabbed his comm.

"Ambassadors! Evacuate immediately! We're picking up a massive fleet arrival - potential invasion force! You have half a minute to get off this ship before we're leaving for the fleet!"

Needless to say, it caused ripples in the meeting. Jargur paused, and pressed the security panel comm "Captain, what's going on up there?" But security protocols had initiated, and the comm reached no one.

In a panic, Coalition crew rushed in, directing both sets of ambassadors to the doors. In the confusion, Jargur and Oaxaca were swept up - despite feeble, unheard explinations that they were in fact supposed to be there.

"No time to explain!" exclaimed a Coalition security personnel as he guided the ambassadors to their ships. "The ship is under attack! It looks like three fleets are fighting over our heads!" (sheer exaggeration, but how was anyone to know that?).

The Coalition used that polite but firm manner that suggested that they could reduce the polite and up the firm at a moments' notice as they hurried the delegations off to their own ships - rude? Probably, but as the unidentified ships came closer and the movements of each side outside suggested increased hostilities...

The captain paced nervously, and said "Are they off the ship?"

"Nearly, sir." said a replying voice from a comm "Just leaving now."

"Good - they're charging weapons, for gods' sake, and we can't raise the shield until the delegates are off! That reminds me, where are our ambassadors?"

"Didn't see anyone in the conference room, sir." the voice said "Just a bunch of Wookies and Trandoshans and stuff."

"The ambassadors are Wookies and Trandoshans, crewman."

"Aye, sir, and they're just leaving now. Didn't see our guys, though."

"No - I mean, our ambassadors are Wookie and Trandoshan."

"What? Well if the Wookies and Trandoshans were our ambassadors, who were they meeting with?"

"Well, not all of them -"

"So were ours the Wookies or the Trandoshans?"

The captain slowly rubbed his face. "They're gone, aren't they?"

"Probably for the best, sir." the crewmen replied "It'll probably save us a lot of confusion in the long run."

Bloodfang

“Sir…The wookiee ships are charging their weapons…” His sensor officer announced nervously.

“Oh for the…Open a damn comm. channel with them!” Tiosk hissed.

“Open sir.”

“This is Vice Admiral Tiosk, commanding officer of the Bloodfang. Unless you really feel like starting a war with the Galactic Coalition it would be wise if you stood down!”

“No response sir and they’re weapons are still charged.”

“Either their deaf, don’t know Basic, or don’t care…from the looks of things I fear it’s the third option.” Tiosk growled.

“Uh…sir…hate to bring more bad news…but the trio of Sev ships under Admiral Tzhali’s command have powered up their own weapons and they are not obeying stand down orders from the main Sev Fleet.”

“Great…just great…so we have two group potential rogues!” Tiosk growled, slamming is fist on the arm of his chair.

“Uhh…sir….”

“What the skrag now!?”

The officer gulped before continuing. “Multiple hyperspace signatures. Sev Fleet ships according to the readings.”

“Oh kazuk…sounds like someone hit the panic button. This is going to go over so swell with the negotiations…”

GC ship.

Things were happening too quickly and before either Silliss or Naosha could get a straight answer from anyone they were being hurried back to their ship. Varcanna was surprised to see them.

“Negotiations over so soon mother?” The red scaled female asked, looking up at them from her pilot’s chair.

“Prematurely…” Naosha muttered annoyed. “Someone on the bridge got a bit spooked and didn’t give us any good explanation as to why. I personally don't by the 'We are under attack' explanation. No time for chatting though, we been ordered to evacuate. So get us to the Bloodfang.”

“Certainly Mother…but a question…who’s he?” She pointed at Jargur.

For the first time Naosha realized they had an extra passenger. He must have been mistaken for being with them. “He…” She started but shook her head. “No time. Get us to the Bloodfang and we’ll try to sort things out there.”

Varcanna shrugged and started priming the engines. “You sure it’s a good idea to go to the Bloodfang rather then straight home?” She asked.

“If things are getting as bad as the Coalition crew said they are, I feel safer on the Bloodfang.”

“Really mother…just because we crashed that one time…”

“Don’t argue with me Varca!”

Varcanna put up her arms in surrender and finished the take off sequence. A moment later they flew out of the Coalition ship’s hanger bay and headed for the Bloodfang.

“Scorekeeper help us…why the hell are there so many Sev ships in the area?” Varcanna said as she looked at the sensor data.

“Looks like someone in the Fleet overacted.” Silliss said. “By a lot…they obviously forgot who commands the Bloodfang.”

“FangGore and RedClaw are nearby too. They would have only come this close of Tiosk asked them to.”

“Let’s not make any assumptions about what happened.” Naosha said firmly. “Let’s get aboard the Bloodfang and see what we facts we can gather. The Council will surely want to know what disrupted the talks.”

None of them realized that Jargur had overheard their talk about the Seredivus Fleet….

Bloodfang

“Sir, Hunter’s Way is requesting permission to land.”

“The Coalition must of thought the situation was too hot and evacuated the ambassadors.” Tiosk said, having only cooled down a little since the whole fiasco started. “Let them land before things blow up here. Once they land, raise the shields. Oh…and of those ships make any move to blast them…” He didn’t need to finish as his crew understood his meaning. Whether they currently had an allegiance with the Wookiee’s or not, he wasn’t about to let them harm the Councilor.”

“Sir the Coalition ship is leaving.” The sensor officer announced.

“A good thing. Last thing we need is to get on the Coalitions bad side if something happened to it.” Tiosk said.

“Hunter’s Way has landed. Passengers are being escorted to the bridge.”

“Good. Raise shields and lets met up with the FangGore and RedClaw. I don’t like sitting on what feels like leaking fishing boat surrounded by hungry sharks….”

GC Ship

Tzhali snarled as the Coalition security pushed them out of the meeting room and to his respected ship, as he got back on board his security guard's approuched him. "Meeting over so soon?"

"A slight 'delay'" Tzhali said as he strapped in

"Umm... whos that?" The security guard pointed to Oaxaca

Tzhali glanced over his shoulder. "Sorry about this Ambassador, apperently you got mistakened, but no time for that. Get me back to the Kessel" he said to the pilot, the shuttle flew out of the hanger bay and toward the flagship, as they flew through space Tzhali noticed the Seren fleet. "Damn it.. what the hell is the Serendivus 2nd Emergency Contingent Squadron doing here?"

The pilot glanced at it. "If thats a squad... I'd hate to see what a Batallion looks like"

"Still.. why did the Serendivus send so many ships?" A pilot asked

Tzhali shook his head. "Someone pressed the panic button it seems"

"Obviously" The co-pilot said as the shuttle docked with the flagship.

None of them realized that Oaxaca had overheard their talk about the Seredivus Fleet….

Aboard the Serendivus 2nd ECS Flagship Star Vella

The captain stared at the screen. "What the hell is the Coalition doing here?!"

"Don't know sir, suffice it to say there probably trying to orcestrate agresstions between the two races." The tactical officer said as he checked targets. "Two shuttles just left, ones wookies the others trandoshan"

He looked over at his weapons officer. "All ships are reporting armed, sir, two of our ships are NOT responding to stand down orders..."

The captain glanced at the screen. "Wh-"

"Weapons hot, there aiming for the bloodfang" Tactical yelled as she relayed her own set of orders

A small ship flew out of the under belly of the flagship and flew toward the Bloodfang, it was so small it couldn't be picked up on sensors, well, active anyway, passive could

The two rogue ships turned around, there turbo laser banks armed.

"What the fuck are they doing?" The captain bellowed. He watched as the tiny ship on ths passive rader flew directly under the bloodfang

The two rogue's opened fire, filling the space between the two ships (and roughly 20 feet above the GC ship) with laser fire

The tiny ship flew up and over the Bloodfang and sat infront of the massive ship. As the laser fire continued the sensors picked up a shield flare up from the trandoshan ship, however the AI aboard the tiny ship ignored that and instead, projected a shield wall infront of the ship

Another such wall suddenly appeared in front of the wookie flagship Kessel. Laser fire from both rogue ships slammed into the barriers, disepating with each shot until the turbo laser fire ceased. The AI recorded the damage done and relayed it back to the flagship

"Hmmm... the lasers where set to fire in low power mode.. not enough to do damage.. more like a warning shot... like those we use to break up attacks between civvy and pirates."

"Still.. get those captains on the horn." The commander of the squadron snarled. The captain of the ship turned his head. "You know the Coalition is probably going to target both ships"

The squadron commander sighed. "Unfortantly, we had to show our hand. Recall those shield bots and move our fleet into this position" he pointed to an area on a cross map

"That'll place us inbetween both the Wookie, Trandoshan AND Coalition fleets... we'll have NO defense in the event they all attack at once" The tactical officer said

The captain shook his head. "The wookie's know who we are, same with the Trandoshans, and both sides know that our squadron is only summoned when major dispute's erupt between two partys."

"That being said, only authorization from BOTH governments will cause us to leave." The communications officer said with folded arm's

"Despite all that.. I want to know WHY the Coalition is here... and get a message back to Lavality..." The squadron commander said.

"Yes sir..."

"If we can't get her to come here to help settle this dispute, then AT LEAST she might be able to send a holo." The commander said

It was then that the communications officer got up from her position and accessed a holo database. "She already made one."

"She did?"

"Yes sir... when Tzhali mentioned the possible arrival of the TNO, BD or Coalition, she created a holo descriping our goals, what we do in this system, and, in TNO's case, not to get involved." She said and smiled when she found it. "How to get it to them is another story."

He shook his head. "We'll think of that AFTER they power down there weapons... until then.. get those two rogue captains on the line NOW!!" The commander yelled

The Coalition's ship was - at this moment - running. It was something the Coalition wasn't actually very good at.

Oh sure, in the dark days of the 'Old Coalition', they'd gotten used to surrendering. In the new days, it seemed they were more used to getting attacked. In fact, running away was something they had very little experience in at all. The thing about running away when someone's shooting overhead, though, is that you find that even an amateur at it can develope quite quickly. If they don't, they don't remain an amateur for very long. They don't remain at all.

"That does it!" exclaimed the captain, in a towering rage. "We're going back to the main fleet and getting them in here right now! I don't know who those new guys were, but when I get my hands on them I'll - "

It's important to note that no one ever finishes the sentance starting with "When I get my hands on them...". It's entirely possible no one knows how it ends. The interruption this time was the sudden contacting of the captain by the fleets' command. "Er - admiral! Good to see you, sir."

"What is the meaning of this early end to the meeting, captain?"

"You're not going to like it, sir..."



He hadn't liked it. Unknown ships appearing and provoking hostilities at a peace conference? Disappearance of ambassadors? These were serious issues, so when the Coalition returned, they returned in force - fighters, frigates, and destroyers - prepared to investigate what this newcomer was. They were generally the peaceful and diplomatic types, but once someone shoots over your head it's generally accepted you can take that as the last straw.

"This is the Coalition advance expedition." said the captain, into his comm. "We insist the immediate return of our ambassadors-" he broke off for just a second to turn to a crewman and say "-them being one Trandoshan and one Wookie-" He took the comm again. "-and that the unknown fleet stand down and be identified."

No more mucking about! The captain felt much more comfortable making these statements in a warship than in the scrawny ambassador's vessel he'd flown out in - it's much easier to be diplomatic with overwhelming firepower.

At that moment, Jargur was just sitting tight, trying to stay out of the way. Gods, did Trandoshans really smell like that? Did they wash their ships the same way the Coalition washed theirs? Did they even wash? He'd expected a little culture shock along with some nostalgia, but hadn't realized how much heavier it would be on the shock.

One thing he did know, however, was to keep his big, fang-filled mouth shut. This was fast becoming a diplomatic incident, which had nothing to do with him at all - he was an ambassador. Being a diplomat was a completely different skillset.

Oaxaca did not share that sort of categorization of roles, however, and as he got off the shuttle with Tzhali, he scratched his head and said "So what's the Serendivus fleet, then?"

Bloodfang

There was some slight rocking from the blaster fire, which unnerved the Vice Admiral even more. If he hadn’t known what was at stake, he would have ordered his crew to return fire. “Damage report?” He asked when the Wookiee ships stopped firing.

“None sir. The shots were low power: didn’t even dent our shields, plus the Sev had some sort of shield ship providing us with extra shielding. According to sensors they did the same with the Admiral Tzhali’s ship.”

“Well, their command had some brains then.” Tiosk muttered. “Still, they are gonna have to answer for this and I bet Tzhali is ripping a few arms off as we speak over it. The Sev’s overreaction may have cost us this allegiance.”

“Sir.” Konik announced when newcomers arrived on the bridge. “Speaker-Above-All Naosha, Silliss, Varcanna and…who the heck is that?”

All eyes on the bridge turned toward the stranger, Tiosk raising a brow as he rose from his chair and approached the small group. The Vice Admiral is a laid back kind of man, but he can strike an imposing figure when he wanted to and sometimes when he didn’t mean to. Unlike the rest of his crew he didn’t wear the standard Fleet uniform, instead wearing his usual ‘warrior’ attire which consisted of a simple pair of pants and open vest. The vest provided easy access to a bandolier full of throwing knives, known as H’skzi Zur and his belt was full of the same, with the addition of two long, slim fighting daggers. With the exception of having orange eyes, Tiosk looked a lot like his son Silliss: seven feet tall with yellow ochre scales and a very similar head crest.

“Vice Admiral Tiosk.” Naosha said, gesturing to Jargur. “This is Ambassador Jargur from the Coalition. In the confusion of the evacuation, he ended up with us.”

“Welcome aboard the Bloodfang Ambassador.” Tiosk said. “Looks like you’ve been away from proper T’Doshok culture for far too long.” The Vice Admiral looked him over and was about to make a comment when Naosha interrupted.

“What happened up here Admiral?” Naosha asked. “We had little information to go on the situation before we got forced off the ship.”

“I was keeping in eye on things up here when a pair of Wookiee aligned ships kept getting closer and closer.” Tiosk explained. “I didn’t want to fire on them so I had us stay out of their firing range. Unfortunately we kept getting closer and closer to the Coalition ship, which must have unnerved them. Thinking back, I should have communicated with the Coalition ship directly and explained the situation….perhaps this could have ended differently. But…when the wookiee ships powered their weapons that’s when all hell broke loose.” Tiosk sighed. “I know the Sevs would be keeping in eye on things here and I knew there were two of their ships under Admiral Tzhali’s command present. Those ships powered up and ignored power down orders from the head of their Fleet.”

“And that’s when the panic button was hit.” Naosha said with a sigh. “Lavality wouldn’t have reacted like that if she was here…nor would Fikan if he was still alive.”

“Mother, is it wise to speak about the Serendivus so openly in the presence of the Ambassador?” Varcanna pointed out.

“Miss…” Tiosk said. “Considering what just happened the Coalition knows they are here and they are gonna have to explain themselves pretty quickly before the Coalition puts them on their ‘enemy’ list.”

“Sir! Multiple incoming hyperspace signatures!” His comm. officer warned. “It’s the Coalition, they brought the whole Fleet that was in our system.”

“Kazuk…they didn’t take this situation very well at all. I hope Tzhali’s on the ball and keeps the Sev’s from hitting the panic button again. Last thing we need is a full scale war between the two.”

“Considering the Sevs are still recovering from the Battle of Trandosha like we are, I doubt they would survive it.” Naosha muttered.

“Incoming Transmission sir.”

“Let’s hear it.” Tiosk commanded.

~This is the Coalition advance expedition. We insist the immediate return of our ambassadors them being one Trandoshan and one Wookie and that the unknown fleet stand down and be identified.~

At Tiosk’s prompting, a comm. line was opened for him. “This is Vice Admiral Tiosk of the T’Doshok Fleet.” He said. “One of your Ambassadors is safe and sound aboard my ship. During the evacuation of your ship he got mixed up with our own representatives. We’ll be happy to return him to you as soon as possible. I can have a shuttle primed and ready right now for this purpose.”

Naosha was tempted to offer an apology on the behalf of the Serendivus, but knew that wasn’t her place. Besides…they got themselves into this mess….

Tzhali's shuttle had just docked when he heard Oaxaca's question. "It's better to show you a holo vid than it is to explain it." he said and they walked to the bridge

The doors parted ways and lead the two wookiee's onto the massive bridge, massive was an understatement, it could easilly accomodate forty people, but in this case, only 9 where present. Tzhali walked over to a console and typed in some commands, a holo image appeared with the Serendivus Fleet symbol. That being an eagle with twelve x-wing's flying away from it, torpedo's blazing, if you where to look close enough you'd also notice several tranport images along with the x-wings. "The Seren's are a peace keeping group that goes around stopping potentional galactic threats... not like the Rebel Alliance back during the Galactic Civil War, the Seren's take care of the threats that COULD erupt into another GCW"

"Incoming Transmission Admiral."

"Relay it here." Tzhali said as he took his seat

~This is the Coalition advance expedition. We insist the immediate return of our ambassadors them being one Trandoshan and one Wookie and that the unknown fleet stand down and be identified.~

Tzhali raised his furry hand and made a response. "This is Admiral Tzhali of the Kashyyyk Defense Forces, We have one of you Ambassador's here safe and sound, it seems during the evacuation he got mixed in with us. I'll gladdly have a shuttle primed and ready for his immediant return."

Serendivus 2nd ECS Flagship Star Vella

The admiral was tempted to open fire, how dare the Coalition ask who THEY where, if it wasn't for them Kashyyyk and Trandosha would still be at war. He gestured to one of his officer's who opened a comm. after all, they where still recovering from the Battle of Trandosha, and if they requested reinforcements, it would take well over three days for the main fleet to get here, and he already knew Lavality would have his hide if he did that, cause then SHE would be recalled from Naboo and ... well.. he didn't want to think of what would happen. "This is Fleet Admiral Archer of the Serendivus 2nd Emergency Collasps Squadron." He stopped... oh how he hated diplomacy. "Coalition Forces, stand down at once, and we will stand down. This doesn't need to end in a full scale battle which WILL destroy both worlds, we both have the ships, we both have the weapons, and I'm sure the two government's don't need us fighting in the middle of there system."

He glanced at his screen and noticed one of the rogue ships was turning toward them. "I apologize for the hastlyness of my captains, it would appear that one of them pushed the panic button without any reason t-" he said before his ship was rocked hard to starboard. The port manifold drive went offline and one deck completely decompressed. Communication's suddenly died. "WHAT THE HELL JUST HIT US?!"

"Rogue Ship... it just opened fire using it's primary cannon, don't know how but it used our communication's relay dish to get a pin point accurate target lock on our engine manifold, we are drifting now, and communications is down."

"Sir, the Wookie ships are turning toward the rogue's, the flagship is showing a weapons build up." The tactical officer said, another rogue ship, the one closest to the Trandoshan's, had also turned toward the Seren's Flagship. "How the Trandoshan's will respond is beyond me"

The Fleet Admiral snarled, how could he let himself be caught off guard like that, HIM of all people, "Send out a communications probe, label those two rogue's are open targets for ANYONE INCLUDING the Coalition"

The officer nodded and relayed the order, the probe was then launched and the transmission sent to all three fleets. The Admiral sighed. "Get a shuttle preped, I'm going over to the Coalition Fleet to disguss things"

"AFTER those ships are taken care of?"

"AFTER those ships are taken care of..." The admiral said as he left the bridge
