Expansion Fleet - Avalon Archive

Captain, the Evolution just completed a diagnostic on Avalon's tactical systems. The station's tactical system has sustained heavy electrical damage, almost a third of the station's wiring needs to be replaced, and there is heavy damage to the weapons systems on the outside of the station.

"Yes, Gentlemen, you have understood well the Principle of our Phase Cloack. Just a lil detail : imagine a Daughter glued to your hull while the Zygon Regeneratin System is fully working and the Planetary Phase Cloack also. She is imprisoned and can't dig a hull in the hull. And, more, she can be howtosay "eaten" by the Zygon Matrix which needs environmental material (let's say, the matter around the Station) to create more and more protection...
You get it, now?"
+++Bleep+++
///I hope it's good news, now///
"Gambit, here."
"Talk, Gambit"
"Just received a command from Counsellor Keriadoc. We will stop trying to contact KeyHole."
"Ah."*takes a deep breathe* "And he told something about....?"
"Nope, but assuming the Metatraxi has attacked the Station Avalon, I don't want to imagine what happened to KeyHole StarBase, with a drastic reduced team on it."
"Understood, Gambit... Our Flag?"
"On Memory Stade, Sir."
"Well done. Over."
///Wellwellwell, it has costed much, this sector. And it is not finished. Better concentrate on our Job around here. It would be better....///
*takes his padd*
"Balterian? How is it going?"
"Already twenty-four Regenerating Nodes implanted and eleven Phase Boards connected. These Engineers konws how to work. That would be good to have some in our Teams, if you see what I mean.... Heheheheh! Some news about HQ?"
"Later, if you want to."
"Okay!! I return to job. Over."
*Looks at the stars by the big holes in the Hull of Station Avalon*
"Long is our way from Your home....."

=^= Evolution to Lt. Taurik =^=

Affirmative Lt. gel-packs and transfer cables on their way
transporter room please transport now

=^= Evolution out =^=

=^= Captain Sanchez to station Avalon =^=

Request permission for departure. We don't know if it is indeed a cloaked ship nearby, but when we leave, it might follow us, and thus we draw away its attention from the currently fragile station. I repeat, request permission for immediate departure.

=^= End Transmission =^=

"Indeed, so it is not quite necessary for me, Mr. Nocturnus. You, on the other hand, may perhaps learn something about logic in attempting to communicate with an Artificial Intelligence. Therefore, logic dictates it is you who shall make the first attempt, under my supervision. Go ahead, admiral."

Yes Fleet Captain Eric, Chief of Operations

Oh um erm, I don't think so....  I thought I had already worked my assigned shift, but I could be quite wrong....

OFF: LOL, not a very nice thing to do :P :P :P

"Admiral, there is no use to punish one of your elements. I have not noticed anyone bothering you.

Also, in ShuttleBay, a Runabout has a its left stabilisator off-line. If you use this Runabout, maybe you will have a crash and some wounded persons. I estimate this event credible at 95%.

Synthethol leak in Celtic Corner on Container 3.

Phase Shielding Matrix 44 overloaded. Repairing and restoring...

Please, call only if important request...."

*Is still confused*

"So, we now have a talking computer? Most interesting, but ehm will he still follow our commands or is he capable to take own command?"

Guess we'll never know how it works.. till we fire at it.

*There is a lot of endlessly beamed persons in strange uniforms in the Operations Center of Avalon Station. And runabouts and carriers are tracting their loads and their furnitures around and inside the Station.*
"Marty, bordel! What are you doing HERE! You're assigned to the Shielding Facilities of the Base!"
"Okay, Krest! I know! But where are these dammned StarFleet Engineer Officers!!?? You can be easily lost in this labyrinth. Even KeyHole is not BIG!"
"Rah, s$$t! Hey, you Cadet, give an help to my Chief Engineer Operations!!! ///My my... This Station is a pure wreck.... And only a Mother? I don't like that... Whatever....///"
*Looks around*
"Damian, where are the Zygon Phase Cloack furnitures?"
"Already in the Hull Sector, Cap' ! I think Balterian is already working on this Station. And they call that a Station!!! Tsx-tsx-tsx!"
*Captain Woodrow has a smile*
"Bah you can face it, right?"
"Hummm, maybe we should call our Senior Lady Sullivan... to help us?"
"Why not. *opening his padd* Gambit?"
"Ya, sir?"
"Contact Senior Sullivan on Morgenstern. I think we need her help."
"Er, mouais, but, KeyHole is not responding."
"Okay, try it again later."
///Allons bon! What's happening again? *looking at the Station...* By the God of the Engineers... What a job! What a job!///

(Edited by Kresterling Woodrow at 4:58 pm on June 22, 2003)

=/\= Taurik to Reeves =/\=

Thank you, Mr. Reeves, this information is most helpful.

=/\= Taurik out =/\=

"Yes, that would be a good trick to get a Metatraxi killed like that. Don't you think so, sir?" he turned to look at Detrell the Chief Engineer of the station.

*At that moment the Chief Engineer of Station Avalon reported at Mr Woodrow's position*

"Mr Woodrow I presume"

*The admiral stood behind the Corp Officer, who he wanted to meet*

"I heared that you were in charge of the repairing and replacing of Station Avalon. I wanted to express my gratitute for making the Station whole again. I hope who ever did this will burn in flames...my poor baby..."

*The admiral touched some bulkheads in the corridor*

"If there is anything I can do here just say so...or else I will continue at another controlcentre, there is a lot to do"

         =A= Admiral Montrell to USS Evolution =A=
Permission granted captain, and be carefull. We want you and your crew back in one piece!

                        =A= Montrell out =A=

knowledge and long life may be my specialty but talking to logical machines, I think thats your area sir.

Ah, Fleet Captain... Hello
*shakes Eric's hand*

"Mr. Eric are you not supposed to be on duty shift now then? Or did Admiral Nocturnus change the duty rosters again? And welcome back, Mr. Montrell."

OFF: *grin*

*raises one eyebrow*

"Most fascinating. Vorak to Detrell, please check out the runabouts in shuttlebay, especially for their stabilisators. And then please go to Celtic Corner to inspect the synthehol containers. Vorak out."

"Indeed that is a logical assumption."

*rushes into ops lookign for Vorak*

spies him and rushes over.

Sir.. I just rreceived this "urgent msg from starphoenix."

*hands vorak a padd

"Krest! Krest!" *THAT was the voice of a really really hurried engineer. And Captain Woodrow sighed.*
///Again!///
"What?"
"I don't find the neural positronic device for the IA to install in the Security Comps of the StarFleet guys. You don't know where to find it, by hasard?"
///They will never learn!!! ///
"You will have to ask permission to a High-Ranked Officer of this Fleet, BEFORE. Understood?"
"Okay, okay, don't be mad at me. I just want to do my job!  . And where the #### are they? And where are these BLOODY StarFleet Engineers! Marty needs to have one on the hull, for the Zygon Shieldings and Regenerating Capabilities."
"May I suggest you use your COMM PADD?"
"Very good idea!" *And the Engineer goes back to his position.*
"I already don't like this job." *Woodrow whispers between his teeth*

"Ah! Nice to meet you at last, Mr Sanchez! *looks at his rank* Uhhhh! Okay. It seems you are a sort of Major or am I mistaking? Whatever! Lemme explain what we are trying to do. We are modifying your Hull Structure so that we could add our Zygon Regenerative System in combination with a Panetary Phase Cloack. This cloack is a modified Klingon Phase Cloack which....."
+++Bleep!!!+++
///Sigh!/// "One moment, please, Mr Sanchez.... YES!"
*You can hear a voice from the Gambit's bridge.*
"Captain, KeyHole Starbase still not replies."
"Oh! Any Ship around?"
"Wait... I'm checking... Only the Revanche but at Deska."
"And no Senior to call?"
"Ahem..."
///Sigh!///
"Try again later, please..."
"Yes, Captain... Over!"
///I don't have enough problem with the base, here, now I will have to inform Counsellor Keriadoc that we have maybe lost KeyHole. And I don't know why...///
"So.... *turns back to Mr Sanchez* What was I saying, some minutes ago?"

So, to put it humanly, you are "spraying us with insect repellant to keep the bugs away"?

Yes, sometimes that is just necessary.

Right I will get to work on the Shield Turbines immediately and find a couple engineers to assist me in doing so.

Eric wanders off in search of a couple of engineers so that he can begin work on the Shield Turbines

OFF: Some people are so illogical.

OFF: I have returned from the USS Skytoucher.
But since I'm leaving on holidays until the 12th, I wont be able to post. So assume I'm in my office or quarters or something.

Until my return, Expansion HQ is under command of Admiral Nocturnus and Admiral Montrell.

(OFF: This reminds me of 'Hal'...)

Eric walks back into Ops

Okay I don't know what is going on around here but the computer is talking!

Eric wanders to himself as to what could be so urgent from starphoenix of all places....

Captain Sanchez was still idly wandering about the station, waiting for the admirals to give him a briefing on his new mission. But they seemed to be busy, now that the Corporation had arrived, and with all the mess on the station, and the repairs to be done, he could not blame them. He was impressed that they were able to stay so calm under the circumstances, and realised he would not be that calm if his ship were in that state - and a ship is hardly as big as this station!
But he felt annoyed by the waiting, and having nothing to do, while others were so busy and could certainly use a helping hand. After some time, he had enough of waiting and went to a console to call on his ship. He would have to help these people, for as long as the ship would remain in orbit around Avalon.

=^= Captain Sanchez  to U.S.S. Evolution =^=

Hello everyone there, this is your captain speaking. Things seem a mess over here, it's a miracle the station hasnt fallen apart completely yet! But as your scanners probably saw, a huge ship from something called "The Corporation" has arrived and is setting a bunch of people to work into helping to repair the station.
But in this mess, the admirals are busy too and didn't get around to work out a new mission for our ship yet.  So in the meantime, I suggest that some of us help out on repairs on the station.  Mr. Lagos, could you gather together a "repair team" and beam over to station Avalon?  But make sure there are people left to keep running the ship too  Thank you.

=^= Sanchez out =^=

OFF: Sir, im already here, lol.

(Edited by yugiman3000 at 12:12 pm on June 25, 2003)

"Yes, yes! Very good idea! Now I got the idea. This is not an ordinary cloaking device, so. But a phase cloak! Those Corporation people certainly do have top-of-the-art technology!  Well, lets get to work, the sooner its installed, the less chances for another devastating attack!"

=/\= USS Evolution to Starbase Avalon =/\=

Avalon this is Lt. Cmdr. Taurik of the Evolution. We have detected a cloaked vessel holding position 50,000 km from the station. We recommend you raise shields immediately.

=/\= End Transmission =/\=

what am I suppose to mediate with it like the buddists on earth *sly smile*

teach me oh wise vulcan

Im not sure im excited about this new device.....

This is bizzare.. sorta gives a whole new meaning to voice... hmm wonder if we chan change it's voice ;p

*Swiftly turns his head towards the console which made a sound*

"What did just happen, I know I haven't had much sleep last few days but now I am hearing voices....."

*He walks through OPS and is searching for the ensign or something what could have spoken to him*

"Allright...who is pulling a trick on me...I will not be hard, you will not be punished, just come out!"

*The admiral waited for the officer to reveal himself, but noone was to be seen*

"Permission granted, Admiral Montrell.
And please state the nature of the emergency, Admiral Nocturnus"

OFF: =P

=^= Inconing Transmission From USS Evolution =^=
Captain? This is Lt. JG Yugiman, only one around for a while, but Im sure Mr.Lagos Will Be there soon. I was just giving you a brief notificiation.
=^= Yugiman Out. =^=

Theoretically, Captain, it is possible to cloak anything with a sufficient amount of energy. It was documented the the planet Aldea was cloaked and remained hidden until Captain Jean-Luc Picard accidently discovered it. I believe Avalon's reactors have the potential to entirely cloak the station, but weapons and shields will have to be taken off-line. In addition, many non-essential systems will have to be taken off-line if the station is to remain cloaked longer than 3 consecutive days.

"Exactly, and then the station has no option but to decloak and raise its shields at once. But even though that may only take a matter of a few seconds, it may be too long to avoid serious damage and many deaths. And such a station can be seen on sensors from very far, probably half the Delta quadrant already knows its exact location by now."

I am not certain. It seems that we will not be done for some time. I have heard rumours that we will be sent to Corporation space for a long period of time, so it is possible that we will leave and allow the Avalon and Corporation engineers to repair the station.

absolutly captain, in all my many years of life, technology at it's finest. it seems the station has a personality and life of it's own

*Vorak extends his hand in the Vulcan salute*

"Live long and prosper."

And the Corporation officers disappear in the transporter beam, and suddenly the station appears half as empty.

"Very well, I suppose we attempt to test this... Hermes."

"So admiral, what do I hear. There seem to be new systems everywhere, even my replicator made strange sounds this morning"

Well my goodness I have never seen a computer like this.  It responds at will without even being directly spoken too.... hmmmm Kinda erie if you ask me.  Yes Sir indeed.

"Allright, thank you Sir."

*Turns to Major Chellick*

"Major, as I stated before...a complete check-up of the primary and secundary systems have to be done. Go down to the Computer Core and on your way ask Admiral Detrell to assist you, he has no orders at the moment. I expect a complete report on your findings at the end"

OFF: You can make a topic here in Avalon OPS were you're on your way to the Comp Core...Detrell will answer

Taurik materializes in Avalon Ops

Captain Sanchez, I am Lieutenant Taurik, your new Tactical Officer. I offer my assistance in repairing Starbase Avalon.

"Your Corporation is very impressive, Mr. Woodrow, surely our Starfleet can yet learn a lesson or two from you guys! Well, i'm no Major, I'm a captain.  I command the USS Evolution, which is in orbit right now.  We came here to defend the station against its aggressors, but we were a bit too late to avoid so much damage. And it happened to be that I was injured and unconscious in sickbay all this time too. Yep indeed, nothing goes as planned, like life!  But we should use the time we have wisely, and rebuild our forces before this alien entity comes back to destroy some more!  The Flag Admiral made a list available with all the people that were killed during this attack, or are 'missing in action' which is likely that they were caught in an explosion and not even their bones are left...  It's a long list!  And my own ship did not fare much better either, but we manage fine still. I have a good crew, as you can see they beamed down to help us and you out here!
So, you were speaking of a modified Klingon Phase Cloak.  Is it possible to cloak a station as large as Avalon at all?"

*Kresterling blinks, surprised.*
///Im' not THAT sure they have understood what I was speaking about. Hummmmm, I have to give more explanations. *sigh* And what is KeyHole doing?///
*gestures to the StarFleet Officers*
"Gentlemen, gentlemen!!! Please. I'm not sure you have understood anything about this modified phase cloack we have built. Lemme explain as short as I can.

This Planetary Phase Cloack we are giving you WILL NOT MAKE your Station become invisible. It will only Strenghten your hull and your shields. We are currently installing ALSO one reactor and one turbine in conjunction with your own. So, you will be able to use ALSO your Shields and Armaments while being in PPC.

To say something more, we have discovered that we could use the Zygon Regenerating Matrix to give Planetary Ground Resistance to a metallic hull. Though, you will not have the capability to have True Phase Cloack like on a Negh'Var, but a Daughter will have to think twice before attacking your Station later. Because she will smell/feel something familiar and will avoid the Station as if it was pest.

And, for a Mother... Well, she will be certainly disoriented for a moment before she decides to leave the sector. Our probabilities of such an event : Mother leaving are about 97%.

So? What do you think about that?"
:biggrin:

"This phase cloak is very interesting! It's curious that the Corporation has such advanced technology that Starfleet hasn't even cope up with yet. I think Starfleet shoud--"
*beep beep* Incoming hail on his combadge

"Mr.Taurik, could you hand over some of those transfer cables?"

"Agreed, Mr.Taurik, Ill be on the Evolution."

=A= Yugiman To Evolution =A=
I am coming back now.
=A= Yugiman Out =A=

Walks to Transporters and dissappears

"I must say that is a very generous offer Mr Woodrow. I also think it would be a great gain for Station Avalon"

*The admiral is suprised with all the modifications that are made*

"Wow, this station will be top of the art after your upgrades, I must say it's very impressive...but tell me what can I do further"

*Vorak arrives where the Corporation officers are working, as he looks around in all directions to see everything being restored automatically in a minimum of time*

"This is most... illogical, yet possible. Fascinating. Mr. Woodcrow, nor you nor Mr. Keriadoc ever told me you have such advanced technology. I am most impressed. Compared to this, our Starfleet technology seems to be dating back from medieval Earth."

"No problem, Admirals... er, with due respect. When you know how to, erm, "talk" with Hermes, he will give you all the informations you need about that stuff. And you will find also all the Schematics of the Turbines and the Boards. So, be free to copy them.
Don't steal the ©opyright, though... After all, it's maybe Freeware, but we worked a lot on it."
*activates his comm padd*
"Gambit?"
"Yes, Captain?"
"It seems all is working well, in here. Beam everyone on board. We have something special to do in Kaidlin, now."
"Yes, Cap.... One moment, please..."
"Uhhhh... Okay?"
*some soft voices in the background, then....*
"Uhhhh, Captain?"
"Yes, Gambit?"
"Many trouble in Deska. A battle. The Brigand will not come at Avalon Station. It has been destroyed in the same time as the FireStorm. I think we should get outta there and go for help! Sir!"
*Captain Woodrow has a deception grin... then looks at the Admirals.*
"Mwell, I have to leave you with Hermes, now. Maybe they will need my teams for repairs or something else, in Deska..."
*opens an azimut channel*
"Corps teams, report."
"Balterian, we're ready."
"Tanya, here. What, Cap'?"
"Mathieux, here. Yes?"
"Everyone leaves. Bordello in Deska. Grab your tools then prepare for beaming on board.
Gambit, proceed!"
*smiles at the Admirals, especially Admiral Vorak, and salutes them.*
"It's THAT, the Life in the Corporation. Always in front line... *sigh* Always hurrying and a few rest. Maybe we will meet later in Deska..."
*salutes the admirals.*
"Gambit?"
"Yes, Captain?"
"One person on the Bridge, please..."
"Okay!"
*In a flash, Kresterling Woodrow disappears.*

"If it is artificial intelligence, Mr. Nocturnus, it still IS intelligence, and therefore a unique life form, even though not of flesh and blood, nor humanoid.
Yes, indeed you are now in charge to examine this A.I. and discover its... personality."

"Greetings, Mr. Chellick. I hope you feel at home on the station."

"I wish you good luck with your attempts in communicating with this new device. Report your results to me. I must beam over to the USS Skytoucher now to have private conversation with the new captain, to send this ship on a new, important mission."

OFF: im in fact alraedy there but i thought i'd post it here to keep the timeline correct kinda lol

*returns from his ready room*

"Mr. Nocturnus, Mr. Montrell, report status."

"Replicators nodes damaged in Section 25-1C, from Deck 42 to Deck 54. I'm not surprised that you are experiencing malfunctions with them. With the number of Teams Engineers engaged in current reparations, I estimate that these nodes will be repaired in 2 days, 8 hours and ...
But, maybe you don't care of minutes, Admiral Montrell?"

OFF: ok

"Admiral Nocturnus, I am allowed to hear infra-vibrations and ultra-sounds. Your comment is recorded for further usage...
May I ask you why you need a mute button? Just for my information...
I'm so :biggrin: enthousiastic to work with biological people."

Yugiman materializes in Avalon Ops
"Captain? I am here to assist in the repair team, even though Mr. Lagos wasnt there yet, I wanted to volunteer fo rit."
*sees taurik*
"Taurik? What are you doing on Station Avalon?"

No, Mr. Woodrow, that is not good news. Captain, is it possible for us to request a StarPhoenix frieghter to bring us new materials?

"Thats a good theory Mr.Taurik, but what if they figure out after  awhile that it's not the real Station Avalon, what if they scan it?"

(Edited by yugiman3000 at 8:48 am on June 27, 2003)

*materealises*

Sorry Captain, I was kept a few more moments in Evolution. In what are you currently working on?

off: I had a thought week. sorry.

"HEY! HEH! Ah ben non alors! ///OKay, I have lost my colleague. *sigh*/// I don't want to be the Only Oficer, in here..."
*A Corp worker passes by*
"I don't know if you have noticed, Cap', but there are some Starf Lieut's, there."
///Tsx-tsx-tsx!///
*And the Corp Worker runs away*
*sigh*
"Liberate me ex populis....."

Hands Yugiman the end of a transfer cable while plugging the other end into an EPS conduit

"AW! Mr Detrell, I suppose *checks the name besice the ranking of the officer...* yess. Well, there is a lot to do, yes. And the Regenerative System and the Phase Cloack we are installing in Avalon Station will not be abloe to work it the hull is not totally repaired. Can you have more WorkGroups on the hull to, erm, heummm, fill the holes, please?"
*Wondering a bit while he looks at the Officers disappearing in the transporter rooms.*
///Maybe we should add a Zygon Transport Facilities in the Station... I have one idea!///
"Mr Detrell, I have suddendly one idea. After some research about the Zygon technology, we have discovered that they had a Bio-Transporter in one of their damaged Ships. This transporter is able to block a Borg Transport beam even if your Shields are down and can also beam some assault teams in an ennemy Ship while its Shields are up...
I can ask the Gambit to call for an other Ship to carry one for the Station. I have Full Credits Orders from Counsellor Keriadoc, so I think it would be a gain for your Avalon.
You aggree with that?"

"Mwell, Mr Eric, I would be glad if you could assign an Engineers Team to your Shields Turbines. We will test in some hours if everything is working well. And we want to try to start regenerating your Hull. So..."
*Suddendly, everyone can hear some crackling noises in the background, a rumbling vibration and a small explosion and a light.
And some Corporation Engineers running far from the dangerous sector.*
///Ok-Kayyyyy...///
*takes his padd*
"What's going on, over here?"
"Cap', Teena, here! Marlow has inverted two positronic circuits and one board is totally..."
"Marlow, Marlow, my ass! Heh, when I asked you to gimme As-PGS cables, you gave me wire!!"
"Cap', that ain't true!"
"Yes, it is!"
"CALM DOWN, you two. Whoever the guilty may be, your dispute does not help the job, here. So, finish this stuff and return to this board. I want it to be repaired in TEN minutes."
"Cap'!!!"
"Ten Minutes?"
"YES. No more no less. Over."
*Looks at the StarFleet Officers*
"Sometimes, you have to kick some butts "

+++Bleep+++
"Yes?"
"Captain, Beltarian, here. All matrixes and boards are implanted. Phase Turbine ready to work."
"Goood, very good. Tanya?"
"Cap'?"
"What about the Regenerative Turbines and Boards?"
"Gimme only...... some.... bloody screwdriver!!!.... seconds and....It's done! Regenerating Turbines ready. Boards ready. You can proceed to the tests, if you want to...."
"Well done. Mathieux???"
"Yep, Captain?"
"What about the AI implanted in the Computers of Avalon Station?"
"Already done, Captain. It was a kiddie game."
"Okay, people of the Corporation and, please, every StarFleet member, leave your current positions and join safe places in Avalon Station. We will proceed to the First Test, now."
*Some minutes passed... Then....*
"Okay, people. Stand clear. I launch the Proceeding."
*Captain Woodrow pushes only one button*
<<<Please, some instants... Checking station in course.>>>
"Now, we will see what we will see. Admirals, Officers, prepare for the unexpected."
*Woodrow is frushing his hands*

"Quite illogical to test a device by putting people at risk, if we are not yet fully familiar with this device. I was considering to... attempt to communicate with this device, since it is supposed to be an Artificial Intelligence. Do you wish to try, Admiral Nocturnus?"

Greetings Admiral's and Major.  How are we all today?

Artificial Intelligence Systems??  I think that is even news to me...

At that Moment Fleet Captain Eric wanders in

Oh sorry excuse me I didn't mean to interupt anything I was just heading um to the Celtic Corner....  

Good day Admirals

Eric then procedes to walk out

"Very well, you may be dismissed. A session of meditation may help you control your fatigue next time."

OFF: hihihihi =P

              =A= Detrell to Admiral Vorak =A=

"Understood Admiral, but the runabouts did already have a check-up this month. I don't know what could be wrong with them, but ofcourse saftey first "

                      =A= Detrell out =A=

*hunts for a button and grins mischeiviously at Montrell*

*whispers wonder if it has a mute button

Urm well sir.. it basically means that we need to look for a new Starphoenix Division Commander.. coz urm.. thain sorta.. upset the borg and they killed him. sorta heh

Seeing as your the admiral.. it's up to you to write to his family being vulcan yourself and u need to organize a send off funeral thing.  *stutters slightly* it was really horrible.

I am here to assist in repairs, Mr. Yugiman, particularly the tactical systems. With your permission of course, Captain.

"Aw! That ain't a good news, Mr Taurik. If you need some kilometers of cables and wires, I can ask the Gambit to send some in a carrier."
*checking his padd*
"Hummm, not that much, in fact. Only 10 kilometers remaining. *sigh* For your armaments, wel, we can't really do anything. We have had no room no more when we loaded the Defenses and Regeneration Equipments. I'm sorry."
*opens a channel*
"Beltarian, how the hull repair is doing?"
"Mwell, Captain, the metal alliages is stronger than our own alliage; the components are a bit howtosay differents and various. So, the Bio-Regenerative Matrix is adapting. With Regeneration Capabilities, this Station will become a Fortress as strong as Kythal."
"Good to know... In how much time do you think you and your people will set up the complete system?"
"Mwell, these StarFleet guys are making a real good job. That helps A LOT! Gimme three days and you'll have this system ready-to-use."
///3 Days! It can happen many things in 3 days!!!///
"Okay, do as your best, Balterian."
"As usual, Captain, as usual. Over!"
*Looks at the Starfleet Officers, a little bit embarassed*
"Mwell, erm, it's life, after all. Nothing goes as planned, right?"

That will undoubtedly be a factor. It is possible that cloaking something as immobile as Starbase Avalon is not going to work at all.

"Where to we put the Phase cloak?"

"Aye admiral, I am on my way already.  Sanchez out."

*hmm, he thinks, the admiral sounded less like a Vulcan, and I heard music from Celtic Corner in the background... I wonder what all this will be about.*

"Sorry people, keep up the good work and I'll be right with you again when things at the embassy are ready."

*And he walked toward a turbolift.  But the doors didnt open.  He took a few steps back and walked toward it again, but still the turbolift didnt respond*

"Ahem... I suppose the turbolifts are not all repaired yet?  Don't worry, I will take another one behind the corner "

*And he disappeared behind the corner, on his way to the embassy*

"Thanks."
Starts working with transfer cable
"I wonder if this cable can go here..."
It worked
"Great. Now I need more cable plz Mr.Taurik."

Computer, activate site-to-site transport. Set coordinates to the main bridge of the Evolution.

Computer beeps in acknowledgement

Energize.

Taurik dematerializes

Yes detained.. Personal matter.. quite a misunderstand i must say... Ah well here I am and ready to work!

*After 10 minutes of intense checking...*
<<<Hermes reporting... And this is not a good report for the Station Avalon.
1/ All decks seriously damaged
2/ Shields responding at 30%, but restoring.
3/ Hull damaged at 44 %
4/ Armament not available
5/ Docking bays not available

6/ Phase turbines : OK
7/Zygon Regenerative System : OK
8/ Computers systems : OK

Beginning Regeneration of Shieldings and Hull....>>>
*Some crackles, some flashes and it is like if the matter around, in the space surrounding Station Avalon, was desorganised and... reorganised. Pieces by pieces, tons of metals and matters of the hull were returning to an original shape, with more intensity and more strengh.
<<<Rapidity of Regenerating System average. Initiating Planetary Phase Cloack for more regenerating speed.>>>
*Suddendly, every people on Avalon Station could hear a neverending sound. Like if Avalon Station was gaining a skin. From every undamaged part of the Station, a sort of rock-metallic combined bio-skin was expanding, expanding and filling holes between parts of the Base. Slowly, but surely, Station Avalon was regaining its vaste Shape.*
///Heheheheheh!!! That is fun!///
<<<Regeneration of Shields estimated in 20 Minutes.
Regeneration complete of hull estimated in 30 minutes.
Planetary Phase Cloack fully operative in 5 minutes.
Main Weapons operative in 35 minutes.
Will I stop the test or will I finish?>>>
"Finish, please."
<<<I'm always enthousiastic when working with human specie.
Taking full control of the Operations in course.
Continuing current regenerating mission.>>>
*And Captain Woodrow looks at the Starfleet Officers.... busy to look at the Hull that, magically it seemed, was returning to an original state. Woodrow has a smile.*
"Fun, hey?"

Perhaps one of hte ships could fire at us.. mmm?

*rubs hands in glee* perhaps you'd like to fire at your own station Admiral

Yes I am Admiral Vorak. This almost feels like home again. Hello ? Eric? is it?
I'm Just introducing myself to averyone.

uh, no not yet.

*Admiral Montrell runs through the corridors to get to the turbolift. He was late, again. He was hoping for a slight reprimand and no long talk about duties, he was still tired from the speeches on Earth. He reached the turbolift and after a few seconds it opened*

"Level one"

*The turbolift moved and Montrell had some minutes to read some reports on the last few days..Suddenly the doors opened and the OPS Centre was the next stop."

"Mhwel...let's find the Admirals"

*In front of Admiral Voraks office he saw Vorak and Admiral Nocturnus.*

"Goodday Admirals, long time since we have met"

(OFF: And I gotta perform the eulogy...)

"Ah Yes, your quite right I will be sure to do that and thank you sir."

Eric walks away in great haste

"Artificial Intelligences are not allowed to mistake.
The Runabout I was talking about is called the USS Riva, recently docked at Station Avalon after a travel to Earth.
Possible causes of malfunctions in left stabilisator : micro-meteorite after entering the Border of the Nebula while in Warp Jump. Probabilities : 93%

A check-up would be wise."

"Admiral Montrell, I can guarantee you that I will take over the Avalon Station, only IN ONE CASE regarding my Regulations and according to my Regulation 1 : You shall not let humans and/or living creatures die or being wounded by your non-activity and/or by obediance to Regulation 2.

Regulation 2 says : in normal circumstances, you shall only manage your watching/caring operations maintenances and comply to the orders.

So, you see, Admiral Montrell, I WILL ONLY TAKE OVER STATION AVALON IF CRITICAL DECISION MUST BE MADE TO Defend, TO Preserve and TO Protect People.

You needed something, Admiral?"

=/\= Taurik to Reeves =/\=

Mr. Reeves, would you run a station-wide diagnostic on the tactical systems of Starbase Avalon? The systems are too large to scan with my tricorder. Please reroute the results to my tricorder.

=/\= Taurik out =/\=

"Oh, thanks Mr.Woodrow!"
*Starts working on Phase cloak*
"I wonder if this will work, im sure it will."

OFF: Thats Yugiman, not Yunigan, lol. I dont mean any harm on your typos Mr.Woodrow.

Hands Yugiman another cable as Taurik begins to remove a burned out gel-pak

"Bad news, Captain?"

"Indeed. We must endeavor to make the crew of the station accostumed to this new techology, so they will not hesitate to use it if the need arises."

"That is most pleasing, Mr. Chellick. Have you attempted to... communicate with the newly installed Artificial Intelligence systems of the station yet?"

Well Admiral, I have been going around and looking at all these places, but they look empty. Eventually I will make my way around to all the establishments and all the sections of this wonderful station.

and Yes I would like to see more.

"The family of T'Hain, at Vulcan, has been notified of the demise of the Rear Admiral, and I have offered them my condolences on behalf of Starfleet.

Starfleet has been notified as well, and has informed me that they will replace Mr. T'Hain by another admiral, who will arrive within the coming weeks.

We shall commence with the funeral organisations of T'Hain.

OFF: check new topic "The funeral of T'Hain"

"Of course you have my permission. Thanks for volunteering! Mr. Yugiman, you can beam over too as soon as Mr. Lagos has arrived on the bridge."
*turns to the Corporation officers*
"Hmm... I'm not familiar with the devices you're using there, and the technology you're installing. Is it something new? I'd like to help where possible."

"Mwell, Mr yungi...man, if you want to give an help, maybe you should take your tools and join the teams already working on the Phase Boards and Devices on the Hull. You could make a good job, this way."
*takes his comms padd*
++Bleep++
"Balterian?"
"Raaaaahh, bordel! Krest! I'm fixing a serious damage in the hull, in my sector. Call me later!!! "
"I just wanted to tell you that StarFleet Engineers Reinforcements have arrived."
"No kidding!"
"Myep!"
"Send them on the hull and may they take tools and Phase Devices and Nodes and join the wokrgroups. An other news?"
"Nope, all is calm on the waves."
"So, over! And call me LATER for something important, this time. Okay?"
"Okay!"
"Over"
*show the hull of the Station and the workgroups.*
"After you, Mr Yungiman."

"Thanks again. Now what do I do with this one..."
Another gel-pak burns out
"Taurik, another gel-pak burned out."
"Now for the cable..."
Put cable on and it works
"We need more crew to do this job...."

*Kresterling looks at the Chief Operations with atonishment. He raises his eyebrows and takes a deep breath.*
"Oh! Detained? What did you do wrong? Misbehaving or bothering a High-Ranked Officer?"
+++Bleep!+++
///Et merde!///
"Yes?"
"Gambit, here."
"Yes?"
"Challenger Brigand en route to Avalon Station. The Ship will be there in some days."
"Good to know... Any other information?"
"Yes... We have sent probes in Morgenstern sector. The StarBase is destroyed. Too much radiations in the Desert to hope to build an other Outpost. Decision has been taken to move the HeadQuarters to Deska City and AVOID Morgenstern at any cost. That's all."
"Ok-kayyy."
"Over!"
///Well, well, well. Nothing is perfect, right?///

I can seee their reluctance. It would cross the threshhold of human to machine.

We would in effect be like the borg, able to assimilate weaponry and even s[ecies.

Actually I meant that it feels like home.

*returns from his room*
hmm.. this new device is quiet intellegent indeed.*

bloody thing wont tell me the lotto results tho.. *growls at it*

so Major... have you seen the entire station yet? perhaps you'd like to see more?

We could employ massive holo-emitters to project an image of Avalon to direct the fire of hostiles. The enemies would be fooled into believing that they have caused damage to Avalon while holographic weapons from the image and real weapons from starships deliver the true blow.

=A= Yugiman To Evolution =A=
We need more crew to assist in repairs, can you plz send some over? Thanks.
=A=Yugiman Out =A=

Agreed.

=/\= Taurik to Evolution =/\=

The repair team is underhanded and we require more engineers to assist us. Please assemble another repair team and have them report to the Ops Center.

=/\= Taurik out =/\=

Eric walks into the busy area

Hello all.. Um Sorry for the delay in my arrival to help out, I was detained.. *cough*

OFF: Took a break lol.. sorry...

indeed. fortunantly the borg haven't got hold of this technology huh

let's hope it doesn't come to that, Admiral.

Greetings Admiral Nocturnus, I am Chris Chellick the Station's Executive Officer.

"As home, you say? You have served on a station similar to this one, before?"

Yes perhaps.

*Turns to the Major*

"Well according to the last updates the whole station has been refit. I would advise though, that all primary and secundairy systems will be checked."

*Turns to Admiral Vorak's direction*

"Do we have permission to do this, sir?"

"Hmm... that makes sense.  But if shields and weapons and such are down, that makes the station a HUGE target, you know?  Because if a ship cloaks, it changes its position, and its oppressor wont know where to fire. But a station like Avalon... it's HUGE. It doesn't have the capacity to move unless dragged with heavy tractor beams of a huge number of ships.  The oppressor would simply have to fire on the known location of the station, and it'd be a direct hit... even worse, with the shields down!" *sobs*

=/\= Taurik to Evolution =/\=

Could you beam over some gel-packs and transfer cables to assist in the repairs?

=/\=Taurik out =/\=

"Good Job Mr.Taurik. So what happens now?"

"I see, I see. Well Starfleet will be very glad with the new transporter technology, could you tell me more about it? I have seen so much new technology and I am impressed by the way it works"

"And we do well to keep it that way."

*nods* and I would suggest you dont interrupt my thinking again . *growls sternly*

nah man I'm kidding tis kool.. welcome to the station..wannar ead the information? get yaself a feel of your new machinery

Pleasure to meet you sir.

then perhaps off duty I will show you the area's of the station most suited to your posiition.

and the area's most not

About the repairs,

is it safe to say that the Station has been repaired?

=^= Admiral Vorak to Captain Sanchez =^=
Please re-hips-port in the Embassy of Station Avalon at once.  We will await you th-hips-re.
=^= Vorak out =^=

=/\= Taurik to Reeves =/\=

Once again, thank you. I hope repairs will be done soon.

=/\= Taurik out =/\=

"Ok-kayyyy.... Gambit?"
"Gambit, here."
"The Closest ship around?"
"Welll, the Brigand. Why?"
"One Zygon Transport unity for Avalon StarBase..."
"Ahahahahahahah! This willl fill its lockers, ya know?"
"Yepz, I know."
"Okay, I transmit. Over."
*Looks at Mr Detrell.*
"It's done. You will have this Unit, in some days."
+++bleep!+++
"Yes? *sigh* Who's calling?"
"Anita Marlow, you forget, Cap'?"
"Uh, no, but...."
"Understand, Cap'. If you want your StarFleet Guys to have a complete Phase Cloack, CAN YOU TELL THEM TO WORK ALSO ON THEIR SHIEDS TURBINES?!!!! Please."
"Uh, owwh, yes."
"THANK YOU! Over."
*Looks again at Mr Detrell*
"Girls, girls, girls... Some other job, Mr Detrell...."

thank you, yes I will read the information.

awww nuts

*walks into the next room and sits in front of the terminal.

computer access all known data on the currrent technology. Open recent uploaded corporation data. Authorisation Nocturnus XO.

*watches lists and lists of adata* Interesting...

it seems this technology as Mr Vorak said is able to think and dapt itself to weaponry exactly like a borg, this could prove to be a very valuable asset indeed.

Thank you  Admiral, have a good time on the Skytoucher, while your there.

Aye Sir.

Reparing of Avalon Station is now complete. Key personal are familerizing themselves with the new systemof which many seem both impressed and a little wary.

The Cadets are moving along quiet nicely and enjoytheing themselves.
