Subj: Requesting immediate assistance, kidnapping.
ALCON,
We are requesting immediate assistance from the 38th Fleet as well as diplomatic assistance in a situation involving Hysperian nobility, the Klingon house QiRos, and a small faction of Orions that may have kidnapped a Hysperian noble.
Though this from the high level looks like a regional squabble inspired by petty criminal behavior and best left alone by Starfleet, the issue blossomed into a threat of war from the Hysperians to the whole Orion planet unless the noble woman in question, a Princess Sarah of Millin, is returned immediately.
Add in that this group of Orions, who are not known to commit piracy and are suspected of the kidnapping, are allied with the Klingon House QiRos, who have vowed support for the Orioni and now we have a standoff and a tinderbox; one that is a couple of sectors from Earth. Starfleet Command is very concerned with this situation and would like to see a peaceful resolution.
We will be sending a consultant who we feel has the cultural knowledge, familiarity with the actors involved, and the situational experience to assist in dealing with the factions involved. Hopefully you remember Captain Regiatta Tohanna, the former director of our Behavioral Analysis Unit. She has agreed to come out of retirement to lead our efforts in resolving this peacefully as an Intelligence liaison. Though not an ambassador, we feel her skills with negotiation and profiling will be indispensable.
I look forward to hearing good progress on this. Thank you in advance.
Very respectfully,
//SIGNED//
