Mission: Aftermath

“All For One”

(Continued from “Change VS. More of the Same” )

====================
Location: Denobula
Scene: Central Planetary Medical Complex
Stardate: [2.16]1203.2317
====================

The crowds had gathered in a square facing genetics complex many of which watching large portable screens that had been setup to accommodate even the most distant of viewers. Many from varied species had come to witness the spectacle that was taking place, most of them used to seeing such things in the active Kaybin District and its many nightclubs. The atmosphere was charged somehow as speculation and general excitement filled the air only to be dampened as someone approached the podium, “my fellow citizens it is my great pleasure to introduce to you Daphina, Kessil, and Feezal.”

The crowd erupted into thunderous applause as three Denobulan women slowly ascended the stairs to the stage. As each moved the large screens switched from views of their face to a wide angle covering the entire stage and once again zooming upon the podium where the trio gathered. The women peered out into the faces of the crowd with only two of the three smiling the unusually large smile Denobulans would give. As moments passed the roar of cheers, applause, and declarations of love were stifled when Feezal lifted her hand into the air motioning for everyone to cease.

“Our fellow citizens it is with great pleasure and pride that we stand before you today behind this desk of awesome responsibility. We are a people brought together by unity by overcoming adversity, embracing new ideas and cultures, and supporting integrity in its most raw form, honesty,” she began sending the crowd gathered into a thunderous uproar once again, “we do not come to you as politicians; but, as women, as people of the Federation. Proud of who we are and what we do we stand before you today emboldened with the task to embrace our core values once again.”

Stepping back slightly Feezal’s gaze shifted as Keelis slowly approached the microphone. Her posture and stance was different from that of the stiffened Feezal. Her every movement showed elegance, grace, and an almost innate ability to seduce the masses without effort. Leaning into the microphone he peered out to the crowd as her long hair gently fell only allowing those able to view to see her one eye and lips slowly forming into a full pout, “oh gentle beings of our great Federation, we come to you today not only as one experience in ways of an Officer but also as one who understands your very personable side. Like many of you I have found my days and nights filled with fear and doubt. I have heard stories of worries and despair which calls to me to reach further and dig deeper to heal the souls of all that I reach.”

Slowly reaching up and brushing the hair away from her face Keezil pauses looking into the eyes of those below as if answering the very screams of love and desperation that would overwhelm the platform if they could. “You see we are all in this together, and if I, yes I can help those far and wide I must take it.” Stepping back slowly before turning and walking back to her original position Keezil stops for a moment looking over her left shoulder at the crowd once again before continuing on.

There was almost a desperation that had replaced the excitement that once previously permeated the atmosphere of the event. The crowd loved Keezil, a fact that many of them would desperately scream in an attempt to just be noticed by her for even a moment. The assembly needed to be focused, brought back to the true purpose of being here and this was a fact that Daphina new all too well. Taking a deep breath as she approached the microphone she smiled softly before coughing.

“We have come to you today representing three distinct lives that are lived within our great Federation; but, we must be clear on our intent. It is with our hope that we together can shine a bright light in the darkness that now surrounds our minds pointing the way to a much needed truth. It is great pleasure that we announce and declare the intent of our great friend, Metana Lok to pursue the office of President of the United Federation of Planets.”

The crowd once again erupted into round of applause and cheers as a young Ktarian woman made her way upon the platform. Stopping to shake hands with those that were stationed at the stairway and with the Denobulan woman to shake hands she turned and smiled to the crowd before waving. Many who attended were not familiar with the woman serving as the Ktarian assembly member but with the three women that had supported her they instantly seemed to approve.

Standing at the platform waving with her right hand before switching to her left Metana smiled and held both hands up quieting the den once again, “thank you, thank you my friends. I can not express what a thrill it is to be on Denobula the home of my longtime friend, mentor, and advocate of the people the late President Moray. I am honored and humbled by these three women, the ones that he choose to share his life with and in return choose to share theirs with him have shown so much love and support for me when I came to them to express my interest. It is my intent to fill the role of President of the United Federation of Planets, to bring us back to the place of security, prosperity, and exploration that we have so loved for so long. Much like my mentor I know and place great value on diplomacy; but, I am not afraid to stand up to a bully if one were to make themselves known. My fellow citizens, it is time that we once again remind ourselves just who we are. We remind ourselves that we have been and always will be an entity that looks out for all and will aid those in need. It is time for us to stand up and declare to the galaxy once more that we will answer the call, the call to stand up and fight for what is right. It is no longer a matter of if we can do it for now we must declare, yes we can!”
