"A clone?" Ami whispered, shaking her head in disbelief. They were now in the Captain's ready Room. "Yes. She was grown using the Spartii method. I think we have an answer for the problems we're having back home." Joshua said after a few seconds. "And that would explain her instability. They can have trouble with the clones grown in these Spartii tanks." "So this Spartii method is used by the Empire I take it?" Gavin asked. Kirk nodded. "I see you've been doing your homework Cousin." "I wanted to learn as much about this Empire as possible. I am an ambassador you know." "But that would mean they've been there for at least ten years. Because that's when she began her campaign against you." Ami said. "They entered the wormhole sixteen years ago. But that's the least of our problems. It seems that the Imperial forces sent over met the Movement." "I wonder how large a force is there?" The woman asked. "A single Imperial 1 class stardestroyer and a frigate. All told, there were about sixty thousand Imps." "You seem to know much about this." Berring commented. "Where did you learn this?" "From the Empire's representative to the Republic. They have a transmission they intercepted from one of their ships. They picked it up when the Republic began to open the wormhole. It has Arkanian and Kerr talking about engineering the crisis with the government. They were less than pleased when we called for new elections. They thought we'd take over." "Those idiots are so predictable." Mitchel said shaking his head. "if an idea makes sense, they'll do the opposite." "So did you tell the Federation about what you found?" Ami asked Joshua. "Yes." He replied. "Right about now, I imagine the defectives in the movement are feeling the heat." Something should have been done about them along time ago." Ami complained. "They've represented a danger to everyone for too long." "But as long as they never violated the law, there was nothing anyone could do." Mitchel said with a shrug, holding a PADD. "We just don't declare someone guilty, then put them on trial. We're not Cardassians." "Yeah little girl." Joshua said with a smirk. "We're not Cardassians." Ami turned to her cousin and stuck her tongue out and began to give a crude reply, but she was interrupted by an incoming call. "Mr Ambassador." Dani Marx cut in. "I'm here in Astrogation, and I've already found your missing ship. It's about twenty lightyears from here. It's near a black hole." "Good! We can head that way as soon as some gueasts arrive." "What missing ship? And just who are these guests?" Gavin stared at Kirk. "The ship is USS Moscow. And the guests are Gath Pok and a couple of lady friends, and the daughter of two of the crew, and her daughter." "Gath Pok?" Ami stood frozen in shock. "So Moscow ended up here? How many other people are running around this galaxy from that ship?" "There were only three. Gath Pok and the late Van Matthews. And somehow, the daughter of one of the scientists, Derush, a Vulcan, was found with two dead humans about fifty years ago." "And why is he the late Van Matthews?" Ami aske curiously. "Because Melee killed him." Joshua then told them of the Empire's program to create super soldiers and assassins. The two angrily shook their heads.
