==LoDona Hears the News of Tellar and Andoria, Orders Unrestricted Warfare==
----
'''Stardate: 2407.01.04'''


''([[USS Steel Talons]] - Admirals Office, War Wing - [[Admiral LoDona]] - 0947)''


"The third wave of [[Klingon]] ships will be here in twelve hours, I've got them spread so..." Richard touched the holomap and 80 new blue dots appeared near the center of Allied territory. Robert crossed his arms and nodded briefly, "Very well." he said after long moments. "That is acceptable."
(Andoria - City of She'nah Hoorn, Control Center - ASD Commander Torval Reen - 1940, Day 1)


"Aye Sir." The [[Stratops]] officer, who looked so much older now after a years worth of dirty combat, living on the edge to stay alive, touched another control and brought up suspected enemy positions. "The enemy doesn’t out-number us yet, and they haven’t made any serious incursions into our held territory, but they are more then capable of hurting us now. I would suspect that they will move before the Klingons get into position. Letting the Empire dig in would be..."
Commander Torval Reen, senior commander planet-side of the Andorian Self-defense force, looked at his screens with greater horror then he could ever remember feeling in his life. The ground shuddered as a photon torpedo from one of the ships in orbit slammed into the city, knocking out many square blocks cleanly in one strike. Orbital bombardment of this sort was only reserved for strong-points in wartime, bases that couldn’t be cracked except by heavy weaponry. And only then until forces could pour in. To use photon torpedoes and heavy-phasers against civilian targets... It was the kind of genocidal war that the Federation was swore to combat, not partake in.
 
Rich was interrupted by the Admirals combadge. =^=Captain Rhea to Admiral LoDona. Sir, you had best turn on the pirate feed from the Federation.=^=
 
Robert grunted and turned to the wall-size monitor near the strategy table. "Computer, load up the [[Federation News Network(FNN)|Federation News Network]]."
 
The computer beeped, and immediately the screen came to life. Robert was in the middle of crossing his arms, but stopped mid-gesture as the images that showed imprinted themselves on his brain. The image was grainy with static, and the sound was horrible, but the result was unmistakable.
 
''"... [static] ...lcan, [[Andoria]], [[Betazed]] and numerous other member-worlds have joined in this defacto resistance, propelled by the Violence on [[Tellar]]. It has been reported that several pacification fleets are already enroute to those worlds. We do know for certain that the Defense Forces of these worlds are active, and at least one... the Andorian Defense Force, has orders to defend to the last against all forces loyal to new President Doenitz and his regime."''
 
LoDona's jaw dropped as the reporter ducked, a Void-Sphinx fighter flew overhead and started firing its phasers at some target within the city. LoDona knew the planet as well, it was Tellar, specifically the city of Ravhivik. There was a major Starfleet Marine Base there; LoDona had been stationed there briefly for training during one of his early tours through the War College. Now the entire city was ablaze. The reporter, bloody and shaken, centered himself on the screen again.
 
''"To recap: After former [[Admiral Doenitz]] has pronounced himself the new President of the Federation during his imposition of [[Martial law]] on Earth, several member worlds led by [[Tellar]] rose up in protest. Almost immediately, select forces of Starfleet targeted the planet of [[Tellar]]. An official statement from the Office of the President announced that Tellar had been overrun by agents from rouge Admiral LoDona, and must be weeded out. Even now an occupation army has landed and Tellar has been placed under military law. The new president also announced that Martial Law was being declared Federation-wide to deal with the new Klingon threat, due to the Klingons allying themselves with Admiral LoDona somewhere on the fringes of explored space. In response, several notable worlds of the Federation have pulled support from the Federation council and have mobilized their defense forces. There is even high-level rumors flying around that [[Admiral LoDona]]'s support might be sought. There are many unconfirmed rumors from sensitive informants in Starfleet that he sent multiple messages to Captains and Fleet Commanders before his so-called Rebellion began that warned of danger from [[Admiral Doenitz]]."''
 
The reporter paused, ''"I won't be able to stay on the air much longer, the FNS received word that none of what is happening here is to go on the air. I will have to move soon lest I be found. I wanted everyone to know what was going on, there are so many things we haven’t been allowed to tell you because of Security Concerns. Troop movements, dissenters being quietly relocated and silenced. MY conscience could no longer let me stand by in silence while these atrocities are being committed."''
 
LoDona noticed it first, though Lee hissed half a moment later. On the far edge of the screen, three Void-Sphinx’s had lined up and were breaking at high-speed directly at the camera. The Reporter and Camera-man, completely unaware, continued filming.
 
''"... As you can see, [[Tellar]] is on fire. The [[Tellarite]] self-defense force has been completely obliterated. It is safe to say that the planet of Tellar is completely under military control." The reporter put his hand to his ear, "I have been told that a couple Andorian ships appeared in the skies twenty minutes ago and were utterly destroyed by forces loyal to President Doenitz. And..."''
 
Whatever he was about to say was lost, all three Sphinx's opened fire.
 
As always, their aim was superb.
 
The image of [[Tellar]] burning was immediately replaced with the symbol of the [[Federation News Network(FNN)|Federation News Network]].
 
"Screen off." Lee said, several silent moments later.
 
Robert finished the action he had started to take before the story had started, and crossed his arms behind his back. He continued looking at the screen, his face a stone mask that covered the boiling rage that threatened to make him sick.
 
"Captain Lee." he finally said.
 
"Admiral."
 
"A message to the fleet, forward everything we've just received once it’s confirmed by our agents in place." He turned his head slightly, "And forward a change in the [[Rules of Engagement]] Package, we're upgrading to Alpha Nine: Unrestricted Warfare on forces loyal to [[Admiral Doenitz]]." He refused to call the b*stard the President.
 
Rich nodded gravely, "Aye Sir. Unrestricted warfare."
 
"Inform the [[Klingon|Klingons]], its time to build the battle-groups. Rearrange the fleet as required; I want task-forces built around the [[Paladin]], [[Nimitz]] and [[Boudicca]] within the week, under command of their Captains. Task-Forces built around the Holy Avenger, Vindicator, Emmeline Pankhurst and Gallipoli within two weeks. And prepare the 319th Tactical, 1st Destroyer Group for convoy duty into the Federation."
 
He mused about that, and then nodded. All three of the primary battle-groups were commanded by experienced combat captains. Having ten or fifteen more ships under their command with the Rules of Engagement opened up to Hunting Season would get results.
 
"Aye Sir, the orders will be cut within the hour."
 
"One more thing, give [[Falthgood]] his head and the use of a ship. Go." LoDona commanded. Rich came to attention briefly, something he rarely ever did, and practically ran out of the room. Robert, who had been caressing his Borg implants the entire time, suddenly whipped his fist around and slammed it into the table.
 
"D*MN!"

Commander [[Andorian Resistance|Torval Reen]], senior commander planet-side of the [[Andorian Self-defense force]], looked at his screens with greater horror then he could ever remember feeling in his life. The ground shuddered as a photon torpedo from one of the ships in orbit slammed into the city, knocking out many square blocks cleanly in one strike.

The ground rumbled again as two more torpedoes destroyed even more of his once beautiful city.

“Die!"
“Die!"
Line 114: Line 54:
After several more bloody minutes, it was over, both patrol groups were dead. So was half of Reen’s force, their bodies littered the group in various positions, most with masks of pain or disbelief on their face. One of Reen’s old command, a medic, rushed up and applied a duraplast bandage onto his wound, causing him to issue a hiss of pain that was quickly negated by a blast of a hypospray. Reen waved him off a moment later and stepped forward, where the Tellarite was standing and glaring at all the remaining Andorians.

Reen paused just outside of his weapons reach and stared back. After long hostile moments, the Andorian took a breath and twitched his antenna. “You do those weapons honor, [[Tellarite]].” He said in as level a voice as he could manage.

“These Re’jah killed my people, Worms.” The [[Tellarite]] growled back.

“Mine as well.” The Commander said. And after long seconds, an unprecedented smile broke upon his face, evil though it might have been. “Let’s make them pay.”

"Halt!"
"Halt!"
Line 147: Line 87:
“I don’t think so.” Reen said with acid in his tone. “It’s hard to justify killing so many when there is no active fighting going on.”

The [[Tellarite]] shrugged and several other Andorian’s took up the argument. Reen sighed to himself; this was a fight that was going to last for days. He had a plan, but he couldn’t speak it openly yet. A quiet rebellion, unlike the open fighting they had been engaged in, something to keep his people alive but their spirit intact.

Yes, this was going to be a long fight. But the Andorian commander would have to fight it, or it would be more then his band of merry marauders that were slaughtered.

(Andoria - She'nah Hoorn, Culture Center - ASD Commander Torval Reen - 0605, day 14)


Reen took a deep breath in the early morning air, but it wasn’t the clean refreshing lungfulls he had lived his whole life breathing. His planet was shattered; his band had spent the night sniping from the rubble of a building which had once housed hundreds of years worth of collected art and antiques. The force which had struck had spared nothing of culture, nothing of history. Even hospitals had been destroyed. It was a war of the knife, just as Doenitz's forces had promised. Thousands were dead, if not millions.

Suvven, not yet sixteen, watched the Commander sink to his knees and then slowly fall face forward into the bloody dust. The back of his head had been removed by the high power phaser shot he had just taken, his proud and tattered uniform was splattered with yet more blood by his senseless murder. If nothing else, he felt no more pain.
