“Dominion”
(cont’d from “Bad Daze”)
Location: GS-2
Scene: CO’s ready room.
Stardate: 2.00805.1624
Kat was finally clearing her stuff out of the ready
room, something she had been putting off for the sake
of her sanity, she finished packing the box on the
table of personal items leaving no signs of the mother
of three that had up until this point inhabited the
room, she glanced around one last time sure everything
was in order. Most of the paperwork was either neatly
stacked for things this new CO needed to look at and
things she’d already dealt with he might want to see.
She glanced at the top of the box and smiled slightly
at the photograph of her family all smiling up at her,
the door chimed and Kat sighed. “Come.”
The door slid open exposing people. The tall slender
figure of Ambassador Vertec and her side kick Ser’mal.
Kat visibly stiffened, she felt the anger rise in her
face and knew it wouldn’t just be the anger her hair
and eyes would be black her face turning a red that
was more than just a blush. She saw that the visible
reaction made the ambassador from the Dominion smile
and silently cursed herself.
These people had done this to her and still held a
level of control over her she would rather they did
not.
“What is the meaning of all this.” The Vorta woman
asked as she stepped further into the room, “A change
in the command of the station and you don’t inform the
Dominion Ambassador?”
Kat scowled slightly as she attempted to regain
control over herself she nodded the once, “Yet you’ve
found out.” The smaller Englishwoman answered, she
glanced down at the desk and for something to do
placed another PADD on top of the box, her eyes
drifted up to find the Jem’Hadar studying her, she
shuddered the once and turned back on Vertec.
“What can I do for you ambassador?” She managed to
sound half pleasant whilst viciously wishing she could
crush the woman in front of her. She felt a kick from
her unborn baby and took a deep breath.
“We require the same information you provided for the
Ambassador from EARTH, you don’t want to stretch
diplomatic relations with the number one power of the
Gamma quadrant now do you?”
Kat laughed and then managed to stop when she saw the
look in the Dominion representatives eyes. “The
ambassador from EARTH is now the ambassador from
Starfleet as you well know and therefore is entitled
to information Starfleet deem fit to give to her,
whereas your position on the GATEWAY is tenuous at
best, a representative from the Dominion does not need
to be on the GATEWAY and we do not owe you any
explanations into what is happening within the command
of this station. I am sure you will meet the new
commander of the station soon enough when we need to
discuss with you something that may affect the
Dominion on this station and in the gamma quadrant.”
Kat took a deep breath and considered what she said
felt somewhat proud.
“A new commander of the station will change
everything.” The Vorta answered
**Yes,** Kat thought to herself, **And dear god I hope
he hates you as much as I do.**
She went to say something when the doors opened, a man
stepped in wearing the red of command and four pips.
Kat blinked and then rallied, “Captain Kane, this is
Vertec the Dominion representative here on GATEWAY,
she was just leaving.”
Kane looked from one woman to the other and Kat caught
a brief look of wishing he was anywhere but here and
then smiled and offered his hand, “Pleasure to meet
you.” He offered the Irish drawl coming across almost
as strong as Kat’s English accent.
The Vorta looked from one to the other and then left.
“Well she seemed pleasant.” Kane offered as the doors
shut behind him he glanced at the small pregnant
woman. “Commander Potter I assume?”
Kat nodded and shook the offered hand. “Gorman, and
its Kat.” She sighed and sank into the chair behind
the desk. “You don’t mind if I borrow your seat do
you?”
Kane shrugged, “its your seat too.” He pointed out and
glanced around the ready room, then back at the woman
sat down.
Kat took in his look then managed half a smile. “So,”
she started, “how do you want to do this?”
