Description As Rear Admiral Lord Rodrigo Insana addresses the assembled starship captains who have recognised Grand Admiral Timochenko's claim, Captain Providencia Castro, recently declared a 'Hero of the Terran Empire', approaches. OCs by www.deviantart.com/s2ka .

Captain Castro and her crew have recently returned from deep space assignment and still wear the older uniforms. The POTEMKIN's crew has returned to the Empire as heroes, but before they could be celebrated as such, the Emperor was killed and an attempted coup swept throughout the fleet. That coup was crushed and several 'pretenders' tried to take the vacant Imperial Throne but all were eliminated. Now Timochenko has laid claim to the throne and these captains have rallied to his banners and Castro has been invited to join. A hero like her recognising Timochenko's claim would add prestige to his movement.

Rear Admiral Insana proudly invites Captain Castro to address the other captains who begin to clap with acclaim for her. They are now recognising the POTEMKIN's return and the heroism of her captain and crew. Insana has been ordered by Timochenko to celebrate and decorate Castro in appreciation for their exploits in the name of the Terran Empire. Castro approaches with a malevolent smile on her face, flanked by her chief medical officer, Dr. Ashley and personal bodyguard, Lt. Gutierrez. 

Castro's brown eyes narrow as they focus on the admiral. She strides forward, with her trademark swagger in her steps, fingering her dagger, followed by her escorts. As they gets closer, a mischievous smile crosses the doctor's lovely lips and Gabby watches the assembled crowd for any threatening movement. Silence descends on the assembly as Castro reaches the admiral, the devil himself wouldn't expect anything..She grins widely as she reaches for his extended hand.

A viper in the nest....

What I don’t get is why Captain Castro is taking such a huge risk. Just have the assault team lob/launch a dozen or so grenades into the bowl, and finish of any survivors with precision phaser fire.

...and Captain Castro grabs Admiral Insana's hand while burying her dagger in his traitorous heart. It's a great way to start the fun.

Who even designed those uniforms must hate officers. All that gold would make for a FABULOUS target for a sniper.

They're not wearing tactical uniforms. These uniforms are for non combat wear.

I know, but if someone wanted to assassinate them, that dress uniform just makes the PERFECT target, complete with markings towards the center of mass.

Nice seems a tad insane to waltz into the kill zone.

Gabby better watch out. If anyone's going to try assassinating Castro, this would be a good time.

Ironically this may be the safest time for Captain Castro. The assembled crowd wants her alive to join their side. So unless one of the strike team defects or someone learned about the little ambush, she's just another lioness among the lions.

Good points, but when the shooting starts, look out. That team of hers better be quick!

jkrolak In reply to scorpionlover42 [2019-11-05 05:49:01 +0000 UTC]

Hopefully their eyesight is good. She's more at risk from a stray shot, as due to the dampening field, only her team will have phasers that work.

Somehow I suspect she can hold her own in a knife fight.

I think Castro and Ashley are more interested in the admiral...

Most likely don't know her that well if at they know of her at all beyond an official bio transcript.
