Narrative:
Center asked us to turn to a heading 030 degrees; we were heading north. I said no; because of a thunderstorm at that heading; I would remain on a heading of north. Center told me to squawk 7700. I did. At XA08Z on a different center frequency going to ZZZ I got a new code. Operations normal after that.
