*The Klingon Ambassador continues to laugh while speaking*

So this is it? The mighty Federation reduced to a spoiled child in its deeds. How can you say you hope for good will while you were the first to cast insults, then spout your little temper when your receive the same in kind? No no no, this is not good hope from you. You have done little but try to upset us, why we do not know but there it is. We see it, the Turei see it, even your own people must see it. Pointing your fingers, yelling about insults, and then putting down our honest forgiveness of the matter.

*The Klingon Ambassador's laughing ends, though a humored face still covers him*

Mr President (UFP), it is our belief and the belief of those who have contacted us over this situation. That your intent may have been to provoke a conflict with us. Why you would side with a race guilty of mass murder is shockingly out of form. Try to imagine how it would have looked should our positions been reversed. The Federation under attack by the Romulans. Then the Federation warns the Klingon people that terrible weapons are being smuggled out and some of those Romulan weapons may have found their ways into or near Klingon space.

Should the Klingon Empire take insult that our borders were not strong enough? NO, no of course we shouldn't. Our space may have been violated and our worlds at risk. We should be honored by your concern and make swift efforts to redouble our efforts along the border.

As it is we have all seen the effect of the Romulans when they assault a world. Billions of deaths suffered in just a few seconds. Mr President, you should be concerned for your people, not your ego.

As of this morning, the Klingon Empire and Turei High Republic have jointly occupied the region of space between the new Imperial and current Republic borders. The Klingon Empire has also turned over colony rights of system 314 to the Turei High Repbulic. This space is now under the control of the Klingon Tranist Command and Turei Vanguard.

All craft have one week to leave the zone or be in violation of Imperial Law. All tranist requests are to be sent to the Klingon Transit Command.

Ah, the Federation position becomes much more clear now. No wonder they felt nervous about the Romulans. They must have learned before we did that not only did the Romulans have cloaks but that their own Gorn allies were supporting the Romulans. These are interesting times indeed.

Since we export a great many things we must ask the Klingons lest we incur their wrath. Is there a reason that the supplies by the Gorn, a long respected power, are cast as some sort of nefarious plot but the supply of warships by the Tueri, a known arms dealer and dirty dealer has avoided your wrath? We only ask so that it can be clear just what the Klingon Empire considers to be hostile action so that we may avoid offense in our business transactions.

[Reliant121]

Dirty dealer indeed? -laughs- Why ambassador, our reputation is at least notable is it not?

We would love for an elaboration on this element, when the technology we supply is perfectly legal and is not intended to hold secrets.

[Deepcrush]

Our intel is currently under review by our friends and allies. Once a conclusion is met we will discuss the release of the logs in question.

As a side note. With the Federations withdraw from diplomatic ties, the Gorn supply and support of the Romulan Empire and its mass murder, and finally the relative uselessness of treaties from the ISA. The Klingon Empire is withdrawing from the Non-Proliferation Treaty until we have reason to believe that it can and will even be enforced.

Indeed we can provide one.

In one instance you provided the Romulans with ships of war and were subjected to no criticism from the Klingon Empire. Instead you were rewarded with a Romulan colony world conquered by the Klingons.

This strikes us as very odd as the Gorn were subjected to immediate criticism by the Klingons for an unspecified act in support of the Romulans. We are not told what this act was or given proof of it, yet the wrath is there all the same.

Why in one case when weapons were clearly sold or given to the Romulans by you was there no criticism? Indeed you were rewarded for your actions. What did you do to deserve this reward? We cannot make sense of these two events. If we were to sell weapons to Klingon enemies will we be subject to their anger or will we be rewarded with a planet? Is the price for a system simply sufficient public groveling and deferrence to the Klingons on a level usually seen only by an Orion slavegirl or is it something more...perhapse crucial defense information on a supposed ally?

[Reliant121]

The Klingon's transferred the world to our domain because they have no need of it, not for some petty reward. -laughs once more- They had no knowledge of the transfer before their intelligence operatives began tracking the Remnant fleet, only then did they know of our transfer.

[Deepcrush]

As to how we handled the THR v GTH related issues. The Gorn were trusted with the duty of preventing the Romulans from use of cloaking devices. Instead they have been caught supplying the Romulans both before and after an act of mass murder. The Turei at the time of sale were still allied to the Romulan Empire, so it is hardly surprising as to their support at the time. With the colony, it is simply to far away for the Klingon Empire to continue and the Turei have taken it as we have no need for it. Should the joint space between us end, the Turei have agreed to return the world to our control after payment for their expenses.

* from a comm buoy somewhere on the Federation side of 314 *
This is Admiral Donatra of the Romulan Navy.

It is at this time that we would like to provide our thanks to the Turei, for in our time of darkness, they were the one power that provided us with more than moral support. With their material assistance, we have regained a military foothold. We also thank them for keeping the Klingons blind to our actions. Without their sole assistance, we surly would have been found out.

Our goal is simple: restore Romulan space, and discover the evil, cowardly individuals who used one of our ships to attack QuonoS.
It is now that the Romulan insurgency has begun.

[Reliant121]

::: GENERAL MESSAGE TO SAME RELAY BEACON :::

The High Republic would like to know how the Insurgency would wish to be addressed in further. We cannot at this time recognise the Empire's former sovereignty, but we will recognise you as a political entity.

* static for a few seconds *
We shall be referred to as the Romulan Navy.

We are now beginning radio silence, and the beacon will self destruct.

* static, then silence *

The Romulans will no doubt continue to hide in Sheliak space, as long as they stay there and leave Imperial space alone... they will be spared. The Klingon Empire will hold the Sheliak responsible for the Romulans under their watch. Any act committed by the Romulan terrorists will be considered an attack by the Sheliak as well.

Keep your guests in line.

In response to the recent Romulan actions, the ISA announces that it does not recognize Klingon claim on the territory of the Romulan Star Confederation. Since the battle on the Border, the Klingons have laid claim to this territory, and since then the Neutral Rights Treaty, the organization in which we have placed the responsibility of formally and permanently recognizing such claims, has made no move to recognize this claim.

Additionally, the Romulan population is too large a group to be ruled by a foreign occupying force. They have the right to self-determination of their own government; a new Romulan State should be forged out of the ashes of the old. Such a state should be considered at worst a protectorate to allow time to stabilize and prevent them from re-arming and seeking revenge.

Based on their recent actions,It appears that the government and military of the Romulan Star Confederation is very much alive, and remain the rightful owners of the Romulan Star Confederation.

[Deepcrush]

The approval of your or any group that supports mass murder is of little concern to us. The Gorn and Cardassian governments have no place in the matter and the Federation was the only group with a right to speak to us on the issue. They gave up that right when they expelled our ambassador. The former Romulan state is not part of Imperial space, this is fact as is our ability to protect our claim.
