::tries unsuccessfully to get the message off his console::
Adm_Harlan says:
Officers and enlisted men and women of the Fourth Fleet, it has been many years since the Dominion War. Since then, we have known relative peace. But that peace is now shattered.
Adm_Harlan says:
::a touch of anger enters her voice:: “The USS Delphyne and her task group have been attacked by an element known as The Synod and are currently presumed destroyed.
Adm_Harlan says:
That task group consisted of 900 men and women doing nothing more than a routine surveying assignment, mapping the space of the Federation’s newest inducted member: the Amenti.
CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
:: Watches closely ::
Adm_Harlan says:
This egregious action was quickly followed by no less than five other coordinated attacks on Federation installations on Sidonick and Aria’Arkun. Outposts 597 and 599 have sustained heavy damage and are even now requesting aid to evacuate the civilians living and working there before their stations lose life support.
Adm_Harlan says:
Word from the region has dropped to a trickle after a similar attack on Relay Station 110.
Adm_Harlan says:
And if that was not enough, I have just been forced to list the USS Sharikahr as missing in action - that is nearly 200 crewmembers - along with our Federation Minister of Defense. A ship of peace transporting diplomats has simply disappeared.
Adm_Harlan says:
Even if the reasons for this attack were known, they did not deserve death, or the sorrow this brings to their friends and families… to us. ::coldly:: “The President has placed the Fourth Fleet on Condition Red with the Federation Council’s approval.
Adm_Harlan says:
Not since the beginning of the Dominion War has this been necessary, but the threat of imminent and continuing attack demands it. The Synod represent a clear and present danger to the citizens of the Federation and the peace of our union.
Adm_Harlan says:
These attacks, whatever their reason, were unprovoked. These deaths should never have occurred. These attacks were upon our friends and families and comrades in uniform and will not be tolerated or allowed to continue. We will respond and we will defend our own.
Adm_Harlan says:
After the most serious deliberation, it is clear that there is no other choice – we must respond and we must respond immediately. As of Stardate 10609.11, an Emergency Marshal Order is now in place.
Adm_Harlan says:
All Fourth Fleet ships and bases are to prepare for war. You are to assemble at Arcadia Station which will serve as Fleet Command Headquarters. Once here you will receive further orders. ::steely blue eyes harden:: Do not mistake the seriousness of this situation or this Marshal Order.
Adm_Harlan says:
We will establish a Line of Control, starting first in the areas that were attacked and extending outward. We will seal the borders between Federation/Amenti Space and the Synod’s Sanctum to blockade that area and stem any further attacks. We will lock them away where they can cause no more harm to innocents.
Adm_Harlan says:
I expect us to quickly reestablish peace in the region, honorably and successfully. But I also expect the Fourth Fleet to do what is needed to protect our homes and the lives of our citizens. Success and Peace.
Harlan out.

COMM: Admiral: They probably thought that we were a neutral ship. There was a diplomatic incident that I would also like to inform you.
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
