Pres. Ra-ghoratreii nods to Thelev and says, "Thank you, Captain."
He steps up to Her Glory and says,
"We... that is, the United Federation of Planets Council, the Klingon Empire's High Council and the Romulan Star Empire's Continuing Committee; have all met with Dr. Balsamo and Mister Barimen and have all voted by majority to accept your invitation to enter negotiations with the Twenty Universes vis-à-vis a joint alliance between our four Interstellar Powers. I hereby set my hand to this treaty on behalf of the Federation on this Stardate." He scrawls his signature on four vellum copies of the treaty.
In his turn, Chancellor Gorkon steps up and repeats the message in
taHol,
"The Klingon High Council hereby signs this treaty. Qapla'!" and affixes his chop to the four copies.
Prætor Neron steps aside and whispers into a small hand conmmunicator. Immediately the distinctive energy pattern of a Romulan transporter envelopes the space beside him and a Romulan woman flanked by two Reman guards appears.
She approaches Her Glory and looks into her eyes and says in
Rihannsu [High Romulan],
"I, Rhiyrh [Empress] N'alae of the Romulan Star Empire, do hereby sign and ratify this treaty." She takes an ornate stylus from one of the Remans and signs the four vellums.
Rhirh N'alae takes the chairs which has just risen from beneath the deck beside Neron. The two Reman guards take station flanking her. Brad, Khendron and Thelev are ushered to a standing area to one side by Sae-Reyanad. Her Glory's Consort steps over to Brad and says
sotto voce,
"Admiral, I understand you're from Alpha Centauri. Back in my time we hadn't achieved FTL drive. 'Course, back then I didn't get to chat with rear admirals—I was just a grunt. Oscar Gordon, ex-private first class, US Army. That is, before She wanted a Hero." Brad, Thelev and Khendron can almost hear the capitals in She and Hero.
