Masquerade

With thanks to my Co-Author, the Lovely Colonel Harper

 

"Fellow Vorta we have returned with the word of the Founders," Taenix said, her amethyst eyes devoid of emotion. "They have spoken, and we shall do as they command."

 

Gathered around the table, the entirety of the Vorta Council looked towards their leaders. Keevan, few of them trusted, and Taenix even fewer. But both demanded respect, and Taenix spoke with the voice of the gods.

 

"And what," drawled one Vorta further down the table, "do they say?"

 

The moment of truth, could she pull of this masquerade? Taenix acknowledged the speaker before opening her mouth with a nod. "For too long we have fought this war defensively," she said confidently. "We cannot hope to win if we are always running from our opponent."

 

Keevan nodded from the corner, careful to hide his concern beneath a stoic facade.

 

"We go on the offensive?" There was hesitance in the voice. "But where?"

 

"Everywhere," her voice rose in strength. "Anywhere the Scorpiads and their ilk press upon our space we will fight them. We must be resolute, it is the will of the Founders that no inch of their space be forefit.""

 

Several of the Vorta exchanged glances at this remark. Finally a timid voice arose, "How do you plan to do this?"

 

Another lifted his head to speak, "How exactly do you plan on launching an offesnive when we've barely been able to contain them with in the containment zones? Do we have have the strength to launch such an attack?"

 

"Odo has commissioned the activation of the as yet untested Alpha Strain of the Jem'Hadar," Keevan finally said after a long pause.

 

"Odo himself?" The Vorta blinked, somewhat startled.

 

Taenix and Keevan nodded. "The suvival of his children is of great concern to Odo."

 

"The Alpha strain remains untested," Taenix quickly continued. "What better way for them prove themselves than by bringing the victory they so rightly deserve to the Gods?"

 

"The Alpha strain is untested," another of the council repeated, but in a different tone.

 

"Can we trust our very survival to them?"

 

"You have a better plan?"
