Mission: [New Haven] S1, E1: The Emissary's Return
Location: Quarters of Doming Martinez / USS Wallace
Timeline: 06/10/2394, 0600 Hours

--Prelude--

In 2383 during the Omega Crisis, the Five Star Liberation Front had fought along side the Federation, Klingons and Romulans along with several others races in the Delta Quadrant, when the Borg attacked. The Borg had destroyed their home system, and they destroyed the original home world of the Glosian people.

The Glosian people were now homeless, defeated and searching for a new home, they took what was left of their fleet, and set course within the Beta Quadrant, and began the impossible search. Finding a new home, was not an easy task. The Glosian people were prideful, and en route to finding a new home, they had a lot of petty squabbles to tend too.

A few high ranking military personal, were trying to assume control over the Five Star Liberation Front. And for several years, they internally fought, while still searching for a home. Their ships took refuge at Avalon Fleet Yards, and were repaired, before taking off again in 2384.

In 2394, ten years after they left Avalon Fleet Yards, the Glosian People find a new home, in the border of the Cardassian Union and the Federation. Once they found this new home, all five factions began what they called the year long war. Which all sides lost, and took heavy causalities. But one General did rise to power.

What was left of the Glosian Fleet was weak and posed for attack. The Glosian 3rd Dynasty Emperor, reached out to Starfleet for assistance, and for possible membership to the Federation. They told the Glosian Empire if they were serious about Federation Membership, they would send Commodore Martinez to talk to them.

Location Dom's Quarters

Domingo was not sure what to think of his new assignment. He had not gotten much sleep since completing the True Way conflict a few days earlier. He was just coming out of the shower, when he heard his intercom going off to his bedroom door. He was still in his towel. He wondered who was bothering him at 0600?

Domingo walked over to the door, in his towel. And opened the door. "Not really a good time." He said before seeing who was at the door. He was a little taken to see Sarah standing at the door, with her uniform on.

"I'm sorry Dom, but I figured you would be ready by now, I can come back." Said Sarah, as she felt a little embarrassed that she interrupted his shower.

"What is it Sarah?" Dom asked, wondering what she wanted.

"Wanted to go over the information regarding our assignment today." Sarah said, as she went on to say. "I can come back, sorry I assumed you were already up and ready to go."

Come in, I will change in the bathroom, and join you at the table in a moment. He said, as he walked over to the sofa, and grabbed his uniform and made his way back to the bathroom.

Sarah stepped in. "Yes sir." She felt a little odd for coming into his room, with him mostly naked. But she had seen him naked before. They use to date, once upon a time. Seemed like another life ago.

Domingo walked back into the shower room. But he called out in a loud voice. "On with it Sarah." He said, as he started to get dressed, in his duty uniform. He tried not to make this situation awkward, having her in his room.

"Dom the Glosian Empire is asking for assistance, they are asking for a Federation ship to arrive at their planet, and open formal dialogue." Said Sarah, as she tried to make sure her voice could carry through the walls in his quarters. She wondered if she was disturbing his neighbors.

"The Ottawa, Shanghai and the Saigon, are not docked at the moment, has Starfleet dispatched us another vessel?" Asked Domingo, wondering what poor chap, was going to have the pleasure of having an Admiral onboard.

"The Wallace, is docked and I am being advised she is space worthy, or we can divert the Ottawa back to the station." Said Sarah, as she tried not to laugh. She would have never imagined a Federation Admiral flying around in a small federation supersized runabout.

"The Wallace, huh. Your not claustrophobic are you Sarah?" He said with a big grin on his face, but granted she could not see it, but he hoped she could feel it through his voice.

"Funny Dom." She said, as she smiled back.

"At least you have your sense of humor, we will need it on the Wallace." He said, as he finally got dressed and walked into his own living room. "I would have suggested packing for a few days, but what's the point. That ship is Tiny. I'll bring my skipbo deck to play." He said as he walked over to his desk.

"Good idea." Said Sarah. She was relieved that Dom was in good mood over the ship selection. The scene starts to fade.

Location USS Wallace

With a playing deck in his hand, and Sarah close by, he boarded the USS Wallace. They started to walk towards the front of the ship. It did not take very long to get from the aft end of the ship to the front end. Dom felt a little silly as he walked into an oversize danube looking cockpit that was converted into the tiniest bridge he had ever seen. "Cozy." He called out with a grin.

"Please tell me, we get a crew, I really do not want to pulling 12's. I need to prepare for the Glosian's. Read everything Starfleet has on them." Said Sarah, noticing the lack of crew on the ship.

"Were just guest, the crew will be boarding soon." Said Dom, as he started to walk away from the bridge area. He walked back into the common area, and took a seat. "Ready to play?" He asked as he got the skipbo cards out.

"Sure." Said Sarah as the scene starts to fade.
