Chapter 1

237210.17 (October 17, 2372) - "So you see, we can not delay! We need to commission starships into Section 31 to counter a growing threat in the galaxy. In front of each of you is a PADD which contains to outline for my argument, and a proposal for Operation Paladin which will result in the initialization of three other operations, which begins with Operation Reveille before moving onto Operation Wildcat and then to Operation Dallas."
The man sits back down at the table which has four other people sitting there as well, while only two of these men are wearing Starfleet Uniforms, when the other three wear an alien black uniform. Almost as soon as he sits down an older man sitting at the other end of the table raises from his seat with a PADD in hand.
"Very interesting proposal Admiral Rice, but I fear that you are forgetting the secret nature that is Section 31. With three starships under their ranks, this will undoubtedly draw unwanted attention towards this department. I am sure you are all aware of the procedures that are to be taken if our department is exposed, and frankly I don�t want that to happen."
"Admiral Rowling, your concerns are acknowledged but unwarranted. If you take the time to look over my proposal you will notice I have the first test is to be equipped with sensor reflecting hull plating as well as a cloaking device."
"I noticed that, thank you. I believe we are all ready to make a decision. Who here is in agreement with Admiral Rice's proposal, aye?"
Admiral Rice and another man, wearing the same strange uniform as him both raise their hands and speak together. "Aye."
"Who here is does not agree with the before stated proposal?" Admiral Rowling and the other two men all vote nay.
"Nay has the vote, proposal for Operation Paladin is denied." Admiral Rowling look�s over to the only other man wearing a Starfleet Uniform. "Admiral Brown, its time for us to get back to HQ." Both men begin to gather their PADDs and start to head for the door as Admiral Rice quickly jumps from his seat.
"You will all be sorry with your decision to deny Operation Paladin. Our Agents report Dominion and Breen negotiations for a military alliance that could come into effect as soon as three years. My projections show a 89% probability of success that they will be able to break threw our defenses at sector 001 and deal a crippling blow to Starfleet and the Federation, with no telling how many lives lost.�
Admiral Rowling stopped and looked back to Admiral Rice. �I am sorry Rice, but Starfleet does not share your prophecy of imminent doom.� Admiral Rowling and his colleague continue on their way, leaving the other three men in the room.

Chapter 2

The sound of screams and explosions comes threw the communication signal. �This is the USS Brownwood! We are taking heavy casualties, the line is breaking!�
Admiral Rowling listens to the battle reports pouring in, not believing his own ears.
�Abandon ship!� �Fire all weapons!� �They�re breaking threw!�
Rowling sit there, listening to all the voices of the fleet yelling together with every word they speak meaning only one thing�defeat. Admiral Rowling taps his console to issue a planet wide alert. Then taps his commbadge and opens a channel to all Starfleet Officers.
�This is Admiral Rowling, The Dominion has broken threw our defenses and are on their way here. Back up units will not reach the enemy force in time, everyone is ordered to their posts and be ready incase of ground forces.�
Right then, two security officers walk into the Rowling�s office with Admiral Brown.
�Admiral Rowling, you must come with us sir. There is not much time and we must get you to a secure location.�
Before Rowling could reply he was already being transported, he knew instantly where he was. Facility 9, Section 31�s command facility was busier then usual people going in every which direction, but was unable to look much before he and Brown were escorted to Admiral Rice�s office.
�Admiral Rowling! Admiral Brown! How are you?�
�What is the meaning of this, Rice? Incase you are not aware The Dominion has broken threw our defenses!�
�Oh I am fully aware Admiral Rowling, in fact if you can remember I predicted this was going to happen. This threat would be contained if you would have passed Operation Paladin.�
�Is that what all this is about? I have better things to do then stand here and discuss operations that were denied over three years ago!�
�Admiral, I can handle the Breen problem now. I will materialize 300 cloaked anti mater mines straight into their path. All I need is Admiral Browns and your authorization on this PADD.
Rice tosses the PADD across the desk to them both. They both look at the PADD for a second, then each other. Right then a you woman walks into the room.
�Admiral Rice, Our sensors show the Breen have hit Earth. Starfleet Headquarters are in ruins.� Rice stands from his seat.
�It is not to late! Let us finish this now! OK the procedure!�
Admiral Brown and Rowling both authorized the PADD, and the operation was carried out. The sudden destruction of the Breen fleet was blamed on the damage they sustained against the Starfleet force. Admiral Rice continued to walk around with a little extra spring in his step for awhile after that, things are finally going the way he wanted.

Chapter 3

 Admiral Rice enters his office one morning in 2377, just like any other day. He sits at his desk and begins going over the latest intelligence reports and ends up spitting his coffee all over the desk do to the surprise of the report.
�Is it true?� �Is what true, Rice?�
�Voyager, Has she returned?�
�Ah, yes actually she has. I should have expected this call from you.�
�Where is Voyager now? And has Starfleet Intelligence had a chance to go threw it yet?�
�Right now she is in dry dock, she is being put threw I total inspection. Her crew is being debriefed by Starfleet Intelligence, I will forward you the logs when I receive them. You are cleared for boarding Voyager.� Then the transmission ends.
�Who said I was asking for permission?�
Admiral Rice walks onto the bridge on the science lab of the USS Voyager and set�s a data storage device on a lab table. �Computer, do you recognize my voice?�
�Affirmative, Admiral William Rice. Starfleet Science Department.�
�Computer, download all information in your data banks to this storage device, including classified data, previously deleted data and a schematic of all foreign technology that you encountered, code 31-omega-black.�
�Voice print confirmed. USS Voyager Command Override Systems Accessed. Downloading data, all logs of download being permanently erased, all logs of Admiral William Rice�s presence being permanently erased.�
About five minutes passed while Admiral Rice was waiting for the download to complete, looking threw the ship systems.
�Download complete.�
Admiral Rice sits in his office going over Voyagers computer information. Rice taps his commbadge. �Rice to Commander Hayek.�
�Hayek here sir.�
�Get our lead technology development team down here ASAP. I just found some interesting data I would like them to look at.�
�Aye sir, Hayek out.�
Rice sits there looking over the PADD with a gleam in his eye.
�Superior weapons and hull armor systems, mobile holographic emitters, transwarp drive technology, and there is a lot more here. I think I just fell on a treasure trove.�
