Dom and Sarah beamed over to the station. The transporter room they beamed into was about the nicest thing he saw on the station. Most of the station was still under construction. There was loose wires, open conduits all over the place. He wondered why they beamed into this part of the station.
They started to walk down the corridors. "Starfleet calls this an operational station?" Asked Domingo, as he continued to walk down the corridor with Sarah. They were heading to a conference room.
Sarah smiled, "Maybe the place needed a few peaks here and there. At least the Ottawa is here. Saigon should be heading this way right? With additional personnel and supplies. We can make something nice of it."
"The Cardassian Delegation is waiting for us in the conference room. No doubt this first meeting is going to be a sizing up contest. Let's try to stay on focus, and keep the Cardassians on track, and find out why they need our help?" Said Domingo, trying to go over strategy with Sarah.
"You don't have to tell me that," she said grinning.
"Not sure what there end game is here, but let's try to get them to open up about it as soon as possible, we have more pressing issues to tend too." Said Domingo as he continued to walk down the corridor, being careful not to trip over things.
"I don't know either, sir," Sarah said, "But we will find out soon."
"According to starfleet intelligence there is a lot of activity going on in this area of space, there are rumors of a cardassian uprising, but nothing concrete, and ofcourse there is the uprising from Admiral Leyton and the New Maquis in this area, and if that was not enough, the Federation has learned a new race is trying to stake some claim to this area of space. A race that fled the Borg in 2383, and have been looking for the past 11 years for a home." Domingo said, wondering what Sarah was thinking.
"Sounds like we'll be getting busy with all the activity. You sure 3 support ships are enough?" She looked on her padd. How many support fighters and runabouts did you say we have?"
"I'll handle strategic operations, you handle diplomacy." He said with a big grin on his face.
Sarah chuckled a little, "Yes, sir."
"Pretty sure the Cardassians, will keep you busy." He said as he continued to grin.
She nodded. "I have no doubt, sir. It could be that it has something to do with what is going on around here. I can only imagine that the Cardassians have their hands full as well."
The two officer made their way to the conference room. Domingo stopped outside the door and took a deep breath. He looked to Sarah. "Here we go." He said, as he lead the way into the conference.
