Chapter 2

Picard got to the bridge. As he stepped out of the turbolift he felt tension on the bridge. He looked to Commander Martin.

"What is happening?"

"They think John Roebling killed the President of the United Federation of Planets." Picard started to look worried.

"Do they know where he is now?"

"They think he hijacked the Enterprise-F." Picard sat in his chair. He looked around. Then it hit like a bag of bricks. "Number One do we know where the Enterprise-F is now?" Commander went to where Data's old station was. Picard still felt a loss of words when he thought of Data. Commander was working at on a consol. He looked worried.

"Captain!"

"What is it?"

"The Enterprise-F is headed for us." Picard knew why. He was to take Roebling place as ambassador. He knew Roebling didn't want to give up his job. "Open up a communication to Starfleet Command. Reroute it to my readyroom." Picard walked into his readyroom.

"Captain Picard, it is good to see you again." Admiral Janeway was on his screen. "I wish I could retune the same."

"What is wrong Picard?"

"Roebling is on his way to capture me and my ship because I was going to take his job." Janway looked worried.

"What is the best speed you can get to Starbase 46?"

"Warp nine."

"Get here as fast as you can, and don't stop for nothing!" Picard ran out of his readyroom. "Helm warp nine point nine now!" The person at the helm controls worked fast.

"Maybe we can get the Cardassians and Romulans to join us." said John. John was in the captain's chair on the Enterprise-F. He may have been old but he could stir up a lot of trouble.

"Ambassador we have a message coming in from the Jem'Hadar, the Cardassians and Romulans. They would like to join us to take over the federation." John was very pleased with this. "Tell them to meet us a light year away from DS9." Everyone looked at Roebling with a look of concern on there faces. The person at the helm sent the messages and then took their own ship to the same location.

"Number One what is our ETA to Starbase 46?"

"10 minutes till arrival." Picard was getting very nervous. Hi didn't know why either. If there was to be a civil war in the Federation then it was going to be very devastating for the whole galaxy. What If crossed his mind. One stuck out like a sore thumb. Would the Federation as we know, it turn in to the Mirror Universe.
