Impassioned Reaction

Posted on 02/12/2012 @ 9:46am by Captain Oseno Jureth

Mission: Azimuth Horizon: Crusade - Chapter 3: Preparations
Location: SB10

Jureth could only sit in stunned silence when he heard Fleet Captain Samji's decree that the Federation and Starfleet would refuse to destroy the Azimuth Horizon without one hundred percent proof it would have no effect on whatever alternative galaxy existed on the other side. To retreat, to simply give up, and try to run from this thing whether it was self induced or not was unacceptable to him both as a Bajoran and as a tactical officer. He wasn't sure what to say, or even what to think...his father had died defending the Federation and for them to give this order was unthinkable. Finally Jureth stood up so as to be heard above the murmurs that were going around the room

"Fleet Captain...Sir...I lost a father before I was ever born in the service of Starfleet and the Federation. Nearly everyone in this room has lost friends, or family to the many enemies that have tried to dismantle what names like Jonathan Archer, and James Kirk helped to create. For the chain of command to give such an order as you have just passed down...is unacceptable. If that is insubordinate then Sir I apologize, but what is being asked of us in the event that we cannot contain the anomaly is to simply give up, and that Sir...is borderline insanity."
