âItâs the Iconians.â
âNo, Iâm pretty sure they would have just vaporized us.â
âThen itâs the Romulans!â
âAfter their failed push on the Republic? I doubt the Tal Shiar can infiltrate their way out of a paper bag right now.â
âOkay smart guy, what about the Klingons?â
âWhat about them?â
âMaybe this is their big push! You know, finally conquer us with this whole Khitomer thing!â
âAnd the first step in defeating the Federation is demobilizing one fleet deployment out on the spinward edge of nowhere?â
âI⌠I donât know. I guess it just doesnât seem real, yâknow? The 38th getting folded into some big⌠weird Alliance thing.â
âItâs like TâEvok always says; infinite diversity, infinite combinations. Weâre just seeing a new combination. Besides, itâs not like anythingâs gonna change for us on the station. Six months from now weâll still be right here, grabbing drinks and watching Delta shift across the promenade while you talk nonsense.â
âYeah⌠yeah, I guess youâre right⌠Unless itâs the Kzinti!â
âOooâkay, thatâs enough synthehol for you.â
Rumor has itâŚ
- the Alliance plans to phase out Starfleet personnel on the base completely within its first year of control

- the Alliance plans to convert the Starfleet personnel who remain on base into true AFS believers via a complex program of subtle influence, intimidation, and indoctrination
- the Alliance has no plans whatsoever
