Expansion Fleet - Avalon Archive

Ah welcome Commander Ambassador, Ambassador are you to be the Ambassador for Gamma Division now and here I was thinking that you enjoyed it here. Commander When do you think my crew could start loading the supplies for the commencement of building of the stream runner class ships.

Off: That is unless admiral I am now going to be helping with the repair of starpheonix Sir.

"And you must understand, Admiral, that when you are on a mission were an ambassador is important to tell him. Because if you need me so bad i should be entitled to such classified information. As i am used to being briefed. Again, i am a diplomat yes but the Dominion havn't changed there views on solids in hundreds of years, if they say they want peace it still demands caution and looking into. You can procede without me just fine, you need a General or Military expert who can tell you what strategy this is."

Off: Gentleman gentleman , oen of u can always create another ambassador seeing as Mr Gordan has pointed out that he's not going .

Commander Jarret I pretend not to know the workings of an Admiral mind but I believe in giving the task of loading that info he would have meant as in over see the handling of the cargo.

O.C.C: So make up some NPC's and then make out you give them the orders to get the supplies loaded.

(I'm actually talking in character)

"You do not know how the dominion got this far then? It seems hard to believe, considering how they surrendered in the first war"

He nodded. "Thank you, that will give me a head start on the engine information. If you will excuse me"
He smiled and left the room.

Amsterdam crew post here

*enters the dockingbay and sees the Amsterdam aprouching*

(Gordon left...but i will answer the question since i have more to say)

"Me? Gamma's Ambassador? Of course i like it here. Has your CO given you the impression i am to be serving Gamma? And after Gamma getting me to come here without as much as a please or thank you. And being late. I don't think i'll be tagging along. This mission isn't as fun as i imagined it would be. I'll be sure to get info on the next mission i take."

Gordon exits.

well then let me give you some background info 6 weeks ago renegade dominion have attacked and destroyed the construction site of starfleets latest and biggest starbase. after that starfleet dispatched an fleet to asist us in drivng them back we found out that they had a secret base we tried to destroy it but it dindt work it resulted in heavy losses on both sides about a week ago we got contact from one of their leaders saying that they wanted to talk about a posible threaty whit them.
now ambasador you must understand i couldt say that to you since that was clasified information we dont know what would have happend if the press would find this out

(Edited by Lars at 7:23 pm on Oct. 15, 2004)

i neversaid i trust them. and if you will not come i think we will need to discuss this whit admiral vorak then. captain her's a padd whit suplies wich are waiting in the station cargo bay *hands over padd* laod it as quick as you can

(Edited by Lars at 8:35 pm on Oct. 15, 2004)

(ohh now your blaming me you were the one who wanted something to do and i give you something and now you tell me due to conduct you took to keep me here and rudeness i couldnt help it that the crew took so long to post and yes you were involved in a plot wich is noow ruined thanks to you)

well then i look forward to the awnser

(Edited by Lars at 11:32 am on Oct. 16, 2004)

ahh yes mark welcome *hands over a padd* these are the suplies wich need to be loaded before we leave these are medical suplies and repair crews for the station

He smiled. "Thank you, for that bit, but I think I will take my chances commander. Unless the admiral feels the engines can look after themselves? I have not even seen them, and I am not so familur with this ships class. We may just be working in mines if the engines are damaged, and I have no idea how to manage them yet, that would be terrible, would it not?".

Mark, the USS Amsterdam will have backup from tweo other ship if it needs it. check the gamma nboards and you will find out.

well, trust me, I don't know much about the mission except I added a few ideas to the pot. I could give a few answers to this but this mission was mine to start. I do like war type mission thought.

OCC: Ft. Adm. Lars, what is a good eta before you will be back at KBS Denvor?

He smiled. "You seem very misinformed, for an admiral that is. It is almost a nervous thought, to be going into something nobody seems to even understand, how do we know it is a 'war' they are after? Not aid or peace"

Reporting

Gordon walks in with a simple leather leather travel bag.

"I was called here. So, anyone want to fill me in?"

(again, after exiting..)

"I wish you were not so vague in your work Admiral, An Admiral cannot afford this kind of mistake. To be so caught up in whatever you were doing at the time you requested i come along you failed to mention what it was we were doing. Or so in such a small point i cannot recall when this was. If you seek my ambassadorial opinion no ambassador will work with the Dominion. Though i didn't say you said it. your good Captain seemed to think so when he said 'Ambassador are you to be the Ambassador for Gamma Division now and here I was thinking that you enjoyed it here'. Still, this is one event i have no wish to be tangled in further. I see no signs of need for an ambassador when dealing with the Dominion. If you ask me leaving them as they are, while they have nothing against us is the best thing to do"

"Admiral, you have the rank of Admiral but that is all, i work for Avalon not Gamma. This is a voluntary mission my choice. Its my time i'll be spending and my job i'll be doing for people i don't even work for. I've given you plenty by advising. I will continue to Advise so long as you wish to have my advice. I don't trust the Dominion. I don't believe they want peace and if they do they would rather talk to a military person not an ambassador. It will fit to there personality."

"Then it will be sorted out.

(Note: I'm not going to be going on the mission. But i wanted to be sure you knew off roleplay that in the story you would be wrong..?)

lets go then

(off: great there goes the missions plot thnx)

"Unless you are to occupied admiral, I am reporting in. What is the top priority currently?"

Jarret took the pad reluctantly. "Admiral, I would not have guessed being chief engineer meant being the loader of supplies, is there not a need of my expertice with the engines?"

"I will have some of the engineering staff at it admiral, I am wondering since we are at threat of war, is the ships sheilding and hull fit for major combat?"

"ok, I am curious about the possible war with the dominion you spoke of, how has such a thing progressed to happen? How did the dominion reach the delta quadrant? They couldn't have many reinforcments if they were to be defeated, it seems like a folly move"

OCC: the only reason i don't know is i haven't been total briefed on the situation

off:saturday

well hten if thats it i'll be in my quaters

Hello Admiral Ah CSO bee a while. I am here too. Did I do right by posting an arrival notice in Ops.

"Purphaps a watch then"

Gordon returns to the Embassy.

ambasador in case you want the federation to go into a war whit the dominion again i would suggest you would come and i didnt say that you would be stationed at gamma the ambasador would only come for one mission then he would return to avalon

and i want you for this now ambasador dont make me order you to come. or do you want them to attack anohter site and kill more poeple you ahve the change to end this before it gets even worse

off: please work long frank

(Edited by Lars at 7:46 pm on Oct. 15, 2004)

as i said we will discuss this whit the admirality ambasador!!

(I was in no way involved in the plot. Just someone you wished <----- to come along. And i said yes, now i have changed my mind due to conduct you took to keep me here and rudeness)

"were would we go? Vorak is in his office i think doing something important and Montrell has called a senior staff meeting for the station, which i think i need to attend. I will mention it there and inform you of what he thinks. Good trip Mr. Lars"

(this can be the last ooc post, i won't be posting here after. if you havn't read what Vorak said you can. I think you should. all i'll say is, leave me alone, i never was acually 'in' the mission. I doubt i ever will in the future. but i'll leave on good terms. Good luck.)

"Commander, incase you were not aware, we are looking at the prospect of another long war with the Domminion. They have had time to analise our tatics and come up with contermeasures to them. Should they decide to attack the outcome of this war could see you working as something far less becoming of a Chief Engineer, like working in one of their mines, or a Jem'Hadar breeding facility," I said to the reluctant engineer, "so by degrading yourself with this task, you may prevent such an outcome from being the case. Besides, you wouldn't want some crewman to load a part that would damage your precious engines?" I joked.

gentleman please calm down ther is planty of time to look at the engines but for now i want you to load the suplies

off: when the amsterdam returns you will need to post at an other site (i will give you the URL before we leave) becuase gamma division is merging whit an other fleet but we will stay a part of expansion  and btw mark nice id card

OCC: well, when the ship returns to KBS Denvor, I will send over a few power modules for you to install. They should boost the power of the ship by 30% each.

well i gues you both have the right to know. After the dominion war the federation signed a threaty whit hte dominion off course there are always a few who dont agree but a few weeks ago they attacked a constuction site for a new starbase the amsterdam found out that it was the work of dominion rebels they have a base we recently dstroyed and a week ago i got word that they wanted to discuss a posible threaty. And for this ship it is a new experimental Steamrunner refit starfleet wanted to slowly decomision all the steamrunners from the fleet but a few engineers thought that whit the right refits it could match a modern prometheus. so trust me the ship is quite safe

During the late 2380's Starfleet became increasingly worried about the outdated steamrunner class starships.
The Steamrunner refit design was fielded in the early 80s along with the Saber as part of a major fleet wide program of modernization. Essentially the Steamrunner's serve a similar function to the modern day sovereign class - a larger, faster counterpart to the cruiser class ships which would be deployed in large numbers to augment the more capable designs. The first of the class was launched in 2381, and series production began after a six month flight test program.The new refit also came whit new weapons and defenses 2 extra phaser banks were aded its 2 normal rapid fire photon torpedo bank was replaced by 2 rapid fire quantum torpedo launchers it new wapr core made it it cruising speed go from warp 6 to 7 and max speed from 8.99 to 9.975.

yes good work an ohter character will arive soon to assist you

(Edited by Lars at 1:59 pm on Oct. 10, 2004)

"Montrell acually, he is Avalon CO. Ifi recall Vorak asked you if you had asked me. So he must believe i have a choice in the matter. Nevertheless if you force me i will go. But i will appeal to the Senior Admirality. I do not feel Gamma has the right to take on and command another divisions officers. Do you Admiral?"

"So..the ship isn't? Then thats what I should be doing probally, it is the more wise thing at least. I can probally get power from the impulse engines more, if we need to flee the impulses won't save anything"

dont know. It possible but i don't know.
