"If there are two words that do not go together, they are 'frigate' and
'diplomacy'," Colonel Jeremy Ironside said. His voice was tinged with
irony, and he stood with his back to the wardroom wall, arms crossed.
Behind him, the slipstream conduit was visible through the wardroom windows.

After depositing her stores of weapons and supplies with Task Group 5.4,
Coro had been ordered to Starbase 75. There, the ship was to pick up
delegations from the T'Keni and Elnar homeworlds, who had asked for
Federation assistance in signing a peace treaty to end their decades-long
war. Once the delegations were aboard Coro, she was to proceed to Drea 6
and drop them off.

Captain Tebrun Lora Kor glanced at Ironside mildly, sipping a cup of tea
before responding. "We're not the diplomats here, Colonel," he said,
smiling slightly. "We're just the..." He glanced at Fornan Dejat, sitting
nearby. "What was that phrase you used?"

"Taxi service," Dejat provided helpfully, chuckling.

"Taxi service," Lora Kor parroted back to Ironside, also grinning. "We pick
them up, we carry them a few hundred light-years, and we drop them off.
We're the only slipstream-capable ship in the area at the moment, and we're
the most able to carry out the mission quickly..."

"...so that the two ambassadors and their staffs don't have enough time to
engage in general warfare in the corridors," Lt. Commander Daren muttered
sotto vocce from his seat.

"Just so," the Captain said, grinning. "It is unlikely that the delegations
will feel the need to engage in bloodshed with a crack Starfleet Security
team AND a Marine Battalion on board." Ironside snorted, but said nothing.

Dalton was not so reserved. "In my experience," he said, sarcasm plain,
"any amount of time over a few seconds is sufficient for a fight to start,
if the two sides want that fight enough."

"Doctor, I don't see that as very likely," Lora Kor said. "After all, both
delegations have been on Starbase 75 setting the general ground rules for
their Drea 6 meeting for several weeks and there haven't been any
problems..." The Captain paused. "However, I want full internal and
external security reviews, including any potential trouble-spots along our
route -- I'd just as soon not be surprised by anyone along the route that
would like to take a crack at the delegations..."

"Oh, wonderful! I hadn't even thought of THAT!" Dalton inserted with
another snort.

The Captain ignored it. "...as well as a sweep of the VIP quarters and
assignment of escorts for the delegations themselves." Lora Kor looked
around. "Everyone clear?" There were general nods.

"Dismissed."
