No weapon had been deployed by a CONCORD ship. The other two ships had uncloaked only to defend a vessel held immobile and vulnerable in the dock with the UDW heavy cruiser. One-hundred and thirty-four souls were not risked lightly or without some safeguard.

'This is Admiral Rye Apis of the Whisper. I am in position.', said the rough male voice over the channel. His mental voice sounded thrilled. 'This is Admiral Aaric Arlan of the Tiománaí.', replied Aaric with a thought into the channel. 'No need to start an incident.', he thought across the channel. 'EGO reply to the Aschen AI and question if the Aschen are ready for a diplomatic resolution. We will be leaving if the answer is no or if they can't behave themselves unless they threaten the Apophis or another friendly.'

Aaric stepped aboard the Tiománaí and the docking clamps were retracted. A moment later and the smaller CONCORD ships slipped away from the Apophis's hull. The other two corvettes pealed off in different directions, moving perpendicular to the line drawn between the Apophis and Aschen ships. The aurora field that had stood between the heavy cruiser and the reverence dissipated as the CONCORD contacts moved away. When the corvettes slipped to a range of just under two-thousand meters from the heavy cruiser's hull they shimmered and vanished into the void. The effect resembled a cascade of mercury falling across their shining metal plates.

Only the Tiománaí remained uncloaked but it was flying in a wide arcing path away from the Esteem now. "Esteem this is Tiománaí. Nature of presence in the local constellation was formerly investigative and recently diplomatic. TNG has sovereign claim of local space. Do you wish to pursue a diplomatic resolution to ongoing hostilities currently held in armistice?" The AI replied coldly across a channel that was open to both the UDW and the Aschen vessel. EGO was too logical to play into the nonsense now spouted by the Aschen AI.

Apparently the Aschen could set up a line of demarcation and then move across it at will to enforce their laws in other sovereign entity's claims without alerting said entity. This was not the Esteem's original mission: to encounter the CONCORD ship while operating in TNG sovereign space. The encounter was not sanctioned by the TNG.

This is like a Vulcan ship encountering an uncloaked Klingon bird of prey on the Federation's side of the neutral zone. The Klingon bird of prey then hails the Vulcan ship and demands to know why they are so close to the neutral zone. The whole ordeal would have Aaric face palming like Picard before they even left the system. The question that should have been asked was why the Esteem was on the wrong side of the line of demarcation.
