"Now all that remains is the two Romulan delegates." Dukat said, cheerfully.
Surely, as soon as Picard sat, two Romulan officers entered. The first spoke. "I am Admiral Toval, this is my associate, Sub-Commander Tobias." They sat at the triangular table. Now with each side of the table representing an organization or nation, the talks could begin.
"Let's begin, shall we?" Nechiev picked up a padd, the back of which was marked with the same symbol for the Zeon Protectorate as Picard wore on his sleeve. "The Federation is a menace. We all know this, which is why we agreed to have these talks. The Cardassians and the Zeon Protectorate have worked well together in the past, but we wanted, Admiral Toval, to bring you and yours to the table, and formalize an alliance. We have to work out a treaty beneficial to all parties concerned in order to have a strong alliance. And we believe it's important to note that should the Federation be presented the chance, they'll either wipe our three groups out or conquer us. And so if anything, we doo need a unified assault."
"What can a formerly oppressed, technologically inferior, group like Zeon offer?" Admiral Toval smirked.
"Hope?" Sub-Commander Tobias laughed.
"This." Nechiev motioned to the display panel on the wall. On it was the Enterprise, docked on an upper pylon. "The Zeon Warship Enterprise, NCC-1701 (E). Sovereign class. One of Starfleet's most balanced ships in terms of offense, defense, and speed, and is top of the line. Now it's the Zeon flagship." Nechiev smiled, "We also have out own Nova-class, the SS Corona, which Jupiter Station modified from stolen plans for the USS Nova. And we have a fleet of older attack vessels we call Genesis-Class. Almost a hundred total ships. Plus we have the Jupiter Station, Utopia Plenetia Shipyards, and several dozen Starfleet defectors like Commander Janeway of the SS Corona. Also we have some people on the inside. Some Zeon agents at the heart of Starfleet. Zeon intelligence has been behind quite a number of successful Cardassian raids and tactical engagements."
"This is a fact." Gil Royac spoke, "The Zeon intelligence has never failed us in a strike against the Federation, nor has it failed to prevent attacks on our space."
"Perhaps this treaty isn't such a bad plan." The Sub-Commander suggested.
"Yes, but it may be best to have a Cardassian and a Romulan official aboard the Enterprise, should we even declare that as the flagship of the alliance, to protect our interests." Picard suggested.
"I have no opposition to the Enterprise being the flagship, so long as we follow Commander Picard's advice." Dukat smiled, "Gil Royac will accompany you."
"We accept the Zeon terms as well. We shall send Sub-Commander Tobias." Admiral Toval nodded.
"So we will join forces under an allied counter-attack premise." Nechiev restated as she set the padd with the treaty drawn up on the table. The other delegates nodded, and signed the treaty.
"The Cardassian Government will stand alongside its allies." Dukat nodded and signed.
"The Romulan Star Empire will honor this treaty until the fall of the Federation." Toval signed.
"The Zeon Protectorate will see this war through." Nechiev signed the treaty.
"Now what?" Gil Royac asked.
"Now we three governments prepare to launch a unified counterattack." Nechiev responded.
