Diplomatic Disputes (JL Akeen and Travis)

[Nemesis 0]

The Ambassador decided he should entertain the pinkskin's request "Well how does advance technological help sound to you Pink skin? We are not the restrictive Vulcans"

 

Travis pondered for the moment..."Do you have any ships under construction...that you can tell me about?"

 

"That information is classified by the Andorian government; I do not how this knowledge is any use to you." Ambassador replied back in an arrogant tone.

 

Travis moved in rather close. "Simple. You want an Andorian as the First officer of the Challenger...then let a Human be the First officer of one of the ships in the Andorian fleet."

 

"Your demand is fair, I will have to check with my superior officers on that argument" The Andorian replied hoping he backed the Pinkskin in a corner.

 

"You do rely, that this Officer would have full disclosure to all non classified data, including all data on Andorian ships, installations, and bases inside your space. As it would be if you got the XO spot."

 

"No just the small ship we place him on" The Ambassador replied arrogantly.

 

Travis stood unflinching. "No, the entire database. If you have an Andorian on Challenger, he'd have full access. We should have the same privilege. We've got nothing to hide...but perhaps the same can not be said about you..."

 

"You think we would allow a lower life-form that much control in our fleet. You do give your pets a vessel do you?" The Andorian laughed

 

Travis chuckled. "You really are a damned arrogant race, I read about it, the Vulcans said it, but wow, your just over the top you know that? You’re not that special. Your government couldn't even complete the mission your ship was tasked with in the Expanse. I can see the obvious reasons Starfleet would put a dog in the XO's seat, rather then an Andorian."

 

"Our demands will not waver, until you can place an approvable viable option. Though with your pinkskin intelligence I do not find that likely" The Ambassador replied rashly not realizing what he just said.

 

Travis sighed. "Fine, maybe I'll go tell admiral Forest that negotiations were impossible, and it would be best if the Andorians were escorted from here before they tried anything rash." Travis laughed outward. "Like it or not "blue skin" you have to go through me to get with in 500 meters of that ship."

 

"You may go Pink skin, but remember if we are not happy. No one is going to be within 500 meters of that ship" The Ambassador calmly replied to Travis' comments.

 

Travis commented aloofly. "We'll see." He slowly turned and walked out the door, heading to more important engagements.
