[Starbase Icarus]
Operations Center]

The Soyez starship approached the station with increased speed and dedication to reach its cleared docking port. The metal clanged as it connected to the station, letting the station systems take control of the starship. The airlock doors hissed and spat as it decompressed. When the doors opened, a small boy wearing a Starfleet Duty Uniform, with the rank of Captain, stood with a PADD under his arm.

Without haste, he crossed the room and approached Captain Tel, handing her the PADD he had under his arm. "Captain Tel, you are herby requested and required to transfer command of Starbase 117 to me, Captain L Pope, under regulation 19, Section C, paragraph 3. And report to Starfleet HQ" 'When no other officers of equal or higher rank were present to mitigate the threat.'

Helena was flabbergasted. Starfleet didn't think she was capable of controlling this situation. She input the PADD into the command console she stood by, after a few beeps and boops. The console confirmed, the orders were real... Officers sent to Utopia Fleet Yards were being reassigned, and officers sent to HQ were for decommissioning like an old ship. With a tear streaming down her face, she transferred command codes to Captain Pope.

"Starbase 117 is now under the command of Captain Liam Pope." The computer announced. Liam clasped his hands together, stood in the centre of the room, and made a speech. "Yes, I am small. I am an Onlie, I have been alive for 300 years and will definitely outlive you all! A war is coming, and we stand at the gates. We must close the gates and prevent a war!"

Gerald Reeves looked around and nodded in agreement. Some might say that the new CO's words were very encouraging. But in his opinion, those words reflected the reality of their current situation.

"First Officer," Liam bossed. "Green alert, permit the Cardissan starship permission to dock. Don't put them on house arrest either."

Liam spun around, trying to find a security officer in the crowd. Seeing the Windsor Green on Lt Cmdr Reeves' uniform, "You're Security Chief?" He asked rhetorically. "Take some people from the Iron Lady and increase your forces. Make sure the Cardissans don't go bother the Bajoran starship."

"Aye sir," Reeves replied as he began to proceed following out the orders given.
