On Board Narada

Narada: "I have recently been picking up a massive gathering of Separatist ships. I did not yet see fit to notify you because until now, they did not pose enough of a threat. However, the Separatist ships are starting to arm weapons, though they have not yet made any overtly aggressive actions towards us, instead demanding that Dragoon negotiate with them or be destroyed in two days' time."

Nero: "Wonderful. Just wonderful. We could have used the element of surprise to take care of them when we originally got here, but Dragoon decided to stay his hand. And now the Separatists are coming with an entire fleet that means business. Very well, arm all of our weapons and sound general quarters. If they start shooting, I want us to be shooting back immediately. Do we have any allied ships in the region?"

Narada: "Yes. In addition to the ships Dragoon arrived in, a TD fleet has just appeared on scene. However, I find it odd that even with the arrival of the TD fleet, the DPLS ships continue to prepare for battle. Surely they must know that there will likely be other fleets arriving to counter them, so I suspect that the Separatists have something up their sleeves, something that they have a great deal of faith in. They seem very confident, and since only moronic commanders bluff in situations like this, they are either very desperate or planning something. I advise caution."

Nero: "Acknowledged. If the Separatists really have an ace in the hole, we must leave and fall back to Niron if we cannot defeat it reasonably. While the DPL Loyalists may not like it, it would be much worse if we were too badly damaged to return to Niron, if not destroyed. We cannot leave Khan or his augment crew alone with that battleship, because even without the parts we came to pick up, he will eventually find a way to get it going. And unless we are able to keep him in check, he will destroy our enemies and then proceed to wipe out those whom are innocent."
