Admiral Bedru then turns her attention to the operation on the planet and to
Mr. Nash.
"Inspector Nash, may I interrupt you for a moment?"
"Sure," Michael said. "What's up?"
"The Ramesar have responded to Mr. Watson's letter regarding our crossing
into disputed space. It was about what we had expected. They are rather
annoyed to say the least, and directly forbade us from being on the planet.
Mr. Watson and I both agree that they will be coming soon to watch over us,
so it may be a good idea to hurry along the landing party. Just in case."
He frowned. "Damn," he said softly. "Any idea on their ETA?"
"Best estimates.... soon."
"Steven," he said into the headpiece, "our friends are going to be here
soon, and
they apparently will not be amused by our presumption. Wrap up what you're
doing -
evac in five minutes."
{insert conversation between Nash and Liridian here.}
Before they could return to their conversation the XO cut in.
"Admiral Bedru, Inspector Nash. I just got word from tactical on the
bridge, that long range sensors have picked up two ships inbound at warp
6.2. Tactical also reports that it appears to be a pair of Ramesar war
ships, roughly equivilant to frigates. They should be able full sensor
range in 5 minutes and in firing range in 12."
{OOC: note, the Protector is already at yellow alert, so no further alarm
was needed. The captain will be waiting for orders to go to Red Alert.}
