Author's Note: I apologize for any errors I have and/or will make when discussing the technology of Star Trek; it is not my specialty nor is it the focus of this story. Chapters will be individually rated.
This will be another short chapter, but soon the italicized chapters and regular ones will be one and the same. So in other words you will find out who those mysterious people are soon and the away team will meet them but not just yet, that is if you have not guessed already. I am not yet ready to reveal what exactly they want. If you want to guess at anything in the future plot or ask any specific questions please feel free to email me so that you do not influence other's opinions. I do display my email now and I will respond to you in a timely fashion (i.e. within one or two days of receiving the message).
Please be patient with me, once spring break is over by output of chapters will go down but I will be working on new ones during my lunchtime at school so due to lack of time they will be short. I am trying to get as many done as I can in this short period of time to make up for that. Okay now I'm done so on with the chapter.
Chapter 5
"Are you sure about this?" asked the deep-voiced man.
"I'm going and that is final."
"I meant no disrespect, I mean to ask what happens if they discover our plan?"
"They won't. My presence will demonstrate how much these negotiations mean to us and it will seem to them that I am putting my safety at risk for them. All of them, even Jarick believe that the Black Hand is after us all."
"I apologize for questioning your decision chancellor," he bowed his head.
The other three lieutenants joined the deep-voiced man. The woman smacked him on the back of the head, "Why are you still having doubts?"
"I'm merely thinking of all possible scenarios," he protested, rubbing the back of his head, "I have complete faith in our plan."
A guard jogged down the ramp of the huge transport preventing the woman from saying anything further, "We have detected the signal of the homing beacon and the fighters are ready."
"We're leaving immediately then," the chancellor followed the guard into the transport, "I expect that by the time I return phase 4 will be ready for initiation."
"Yes sir," the four lieutenants snapped to attention as he disappeared from sight. The ramp retracted, sealing the opening and the transport accompanied by a squadron of fighters as an escort lifted off.
-We must prepare for the chancellor's return-thought the telepath.
"Indeed, stop your squabbling you two, there are more important things right now. You may squabble later," admonished the blonde haired man with a scowl of disdain at his peers' childishness.
