==Mission Six: [[Tribuo Senatus: A Senate Divided]]==

The USS Hades was selected to undertake a diplomatic mission to Romulus. The purpose of the mission was to overtly transport a [[Federation]] diplomatic team to [[Romulus]] to renegotiate the [[Treaty of Algeron]]. The mission was undertaken at the request of the New Romulan Praetor [[Vrih]].

The Hades departed [[Earth]] and headed towards the [[Romulan Neutral Zone]] pausing only long enough to make a detour at [[Starbase 989]] to collect the diplomatic envoy. Starbase 989 is a resupply base located in the [[Nequencia-Alpha System]], approximately 6 [[Light Year]]s from the Romulan Neutral Zone. The Ambassador and his team were dropped at the Starbase by a transport, and arrived roughly 24 hours prior to the arrival of the Hades.

That team consisted of:

:[[Ambassador]] [[Jericho Nolan]]
:Ambassador's Aide [[Brianna Frazier]] 
:Diplomatic Advisor Raizel Grem 
:Diplomatic Advisor Paris Kolar 

[[Rank| Captain]] [[Devan Sash]] insisted in adding Counsellor [[Jon Nayati]], Lieutenant [[Ardena Carrow]], and Lieutenant [[Thomas Jackson|Tom Jackson]] to the negotiating team.  In addition, Sash orders Baylon to act as Security coordinator for the proceedings.

Then disaster strikes, Captain Sash is critically injured and Ambassador Nolan is killed when a sabotaged power relay detonates in the corridor where they are walking. With the Captain incapacitated and the Ambassador killed, command of the Mission passes to Commander Lemar, who along with now Ambassador Frazier agree to continue with the mission.

The security situation is complex and nearly impossible to control. Baylon quickly realizes that with Intelligence reports indicating that there are factions of he [[Romulan Senate]] opposed to the meeting between the Federation and the [[Romulan Praetor|Praetor]] that there is a very real chance that some terrible event will take place.

As the meetings are to be held entirely on Romulus, Baylon is unsable to effect any significant security procedures, as all security will be handled by his Romulan counterparts.

To further exasparate his efforts, he is advised that no member of the federation teams will be allowed to carry weapons. This is understanadble considering that they will be meeting with the most powerful man in the [[Romulan Star Empire]].

The material is rare enough that you need to recalibrate sensors to detect it, although a Romulan dampening field at the site is unexpected and causes some difficulty even then.

Much to Baylon's dismay, he is asked to leave the proceedings while the negotiations are underway by 
Ambassador Frazier. In the end, despite his initial irritation, Baylon realized that this was not a terrible thing, as it quickly became apparent that a telepathic damening field was in use in the council chamber to suppress the empathic and telepathic abilities of the Federation negotiating team. As Baylon is a [[Betazoid]], he would also have been affected had he remained.

This however, means that Baylon spent several hours sitting, doing nothing in a waiting area while the conference continued.

This all changes however when Ambassador Frazier her aides and Baylon are invited to an early morning private breakfast with [[Romulan Praetor|Praetor]] [[Vrih]]. this is quite an honor and Baylon is pleased to have been included in the invitation.

During the breakfast, the group including the Praetor are assaulted by a faction of the Senate government lead by [[Senator]] [[Terrah]] and [[Chairman]] [[Vaebn]] of the [[Romulan Tal Shiar|Tal'Shiar]].

A federation stun grenade was tossed itno the room. Baylon attempted tp protect the Praetor but succumbed to the attack along with all those present.

[[File:Vrih.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Praetor Vrih]]Terrah, then moved forward with his plan to sieze the government of the RSE. He had previously made arrangements to have the proconsuls unavailable to be notified of the issue and using his limited power had managed to call a meeting of the [[Continuing Committee]] in a bid to have them declare him the Praetor.

During this time, Baylon affected his escape from the Tal Shair holding facility in the capital city. He was on the verge of killing Senator Terrah, whom he thought was attempting to sieze power (and was later proven correct), but Ambassador Frazier convinced him to surrender instead. Baylon and Frazier were returned to a holding cell only to be released a few hours later by Charman [[Vaebn]].

Meanwhile Terrah's plot was was moving forward until foiled however, by Vaebn, who was using Terrah to reveal his co-conspirators against the government. Baylon, Frazier and the Preator also aided in the twarting of the plot, but ensuring that the guilty senator was revealed to the Continuing committee.

Frustrated by his failure, Terrah attempted to assassinate the Praetor, but was killed by Vaebn and Baylon as he drew his distruptor. 

The danger over, The re-negotiation of the [[Treaty of Algeron]] was completed and the USS Hades returned to Federation Space. 

Baylon had earned the respect and friendship of the Praetor of the RSE as a result of his actions.
