*Furrows brow, searching her memories*
"I can't think of anything that would have to do with this..."
"If I know one thing, my father isn't insane. In fact, he'd be the most sane person around. Was there something out of the ordinary when you found him? Something that, didn't belong?"
"Yes, I am. <Secretly hides a smile behind his eyes> Which is why you werent able to probe my mind deeper, tho im curious as to why your a telepath yourself and yet your human ?. But also at the same time if you tell anyone im a telepath ill make sure your in my brig till your old and grey."
"I see. Are you paranoid right now ?"
<Gets up and goes over to the replicator and asks for a rootbeer>
<Turning to Jacob>
"Wouldyou like anything?"
"Thank you, if there are any problems you will be the first to know." he walked out of his office in brisk
step. He finally let out a massive pent up sigh, and decided to finally get some much-needed sleep.
"I understand. May I query as to how many Kazon there are to provide defense from?"
"I see, Well im about to head for a meeting with Powell why dont you join me."
<Tapping his commbadge to contact Oliver>
=^= "Oliver join us in Powell's office." =^=
*Balkazar walks into his office and waits for eliza to arrive, he goes over and replicates warm tea and goes to sit in his chair*
((OOC**Shouldnt he just say that and not use big words that I got no idea what they mean ?, I mean cmon, if everyone spoke in complicated lingo we would still be in the stone age and no computers.))
*nods*
"I won't tell anyone, if you will let me advise you on how to proceed. No offense to starfleet, and i am sure you would understand sir, but those who are not telepaths do not understand how powerful the mind is. I get it from my mother."
"Such a....Insignificant country in the picture of earth, i think it was page 5 of the Global News, small Article easy to miss. We have a defence force, we are paranoid about everyone"
"Good, we are currently on Yellow alert. Kazon forces are attacking a world which is pre-warp. We are on standby incase we have to go and rescue the team being sent to gather intel on the planet in question. We have very lil intel on the planet itself which will make things a lil tough for you."
"I want you to write up a sketch of sorts for a fast deployed line of Defense. Then make a list of the things you will need so we will have time to get the material's youll need."
"Do you understand?"
aye sir
*The Sergent walks in with a young brunette*
Sergent: "Here she is as requested, sir."
Balkazar: "Good wait outside."
Sergent: "Yes, sir."
*The Sergent left the room and waited outside the door with his 2 accompanying marines*
"So, your Elizabeth Bailey?"
(OFF: Anecdote: a short and amusing story about a real incident or person.)
*her eyes get big, and her hand starts to move towards it...she stops, and shakes her head*
"That is it. I'm not touching it. Those markings, are ancient wards...Fialon magick. Something isn't right...*points to it* do you see how liquidy it looks?"
"I asked you here to assist in clearing things up, NOT! to insult your superior. Understand. Tho im curious that your stating the same things your father stated and yet you were sent away long before he came here. How do I know they arent using you against us ?"
OOC**Im in the brig atm, with lucas whos came into the celtic corner drunk and stupid, tried to assault 2 ppl me included, I got him on charges of 2 assault charges, and potential insanity. Can we say LOONEY BIN! :P, Do we have a looney bin ? LOL. But anyways you can go ahead and post in the brig if you wish
. Join in on there. Ummmmm, besides that, theres a conference going on, on Avalon station, about security and such. Ummmmm, Go to the brig the NPCs will handle securing the south side of the marine base, seems starfleet wants to set up a base on Dantor and is trying to take over the entire planet by switching marine units around *grumbles*. Anyways, thats about it
.
"I can snipe most people form god know how far, i usually speciallise in Recon and work behind enemy lines, i learnt i bit of explosives, so i can cause maximum damage"
"yes they left 15 minutes before us, sir"
i'll do it, yes i met him
*A Vulcan dressed in a gray green marine uniform stepped in*
"Crewman Sillik reporting for duty, sir. I have been assigned as an engineer"
*He raised a brow*
"There may be a problem with my planning with those supplies. Out of all that you listed, I am only aware of the phase compression rifle, or phaser rifle as you said".
Just a reminder, try and keep EVERYTHING related to the mission in the mission topic. this is for archeiving purposes. i want to try and make it into the EF 07 yearbook =P
*Looks hiim up and down*
"And you are?"
"Anecdotes?, never heard of that before cadet. But as a said hes claiming that your life is in danger, and these things that cant be detected or seen by any means known to us, is coming to kill you and him, if this is true, I cannot let that happen. So, im waiting. Please tell me something I dont know alredy, besides your father being insane and is very close to being put in a isolated cell away from everyone else. So if you have something to prevent that you best speak up now and dont hold back. If you got something to shed light on things its best you tell me everything then I can help you and your father."
*Pulls the drawer out from behind his desk then places an old dagger on the desk*
"Would this be it, and what are the markings on the pommel?"
"I did assist. I have no control over your attitude."
"I don't know how. All I know is that he heard it from his father, and his father heard it from his father."
*looks at him intensely*
"I know who i am. Trust me on that. I...I'm a telepath myself."
*she closes her eyes and concentrates*
"And so are you...arn't you?"
(occ: i just got back from doing a lot of stuff and the fact i have been very busy but what the fug is going on i am roaly confused)
"Hmmmmm, you will probly being doing recon or youll be in heavy combat. Hmmmmm, youll hold the rank of Sargent. Welcom aboard."
<Just then Kassie and Braxton rushes into the room>
"Did you send the Puma's ahead of us to secure the site ?"
"Hmmmm very good."
<Takes out First Lt. Pips and hands them to Davis>
"Congratulations. Welcome to the marines officially." <Extends his hand to shake Olivers>
"Hmmmm, so you have any questions before I assign you to active duty?" he inquired.
<Seeing the Vulcan enter his office>
"Of course, I was just reading over some DSA files to see if there were anyone interested in the marines. Tell me what field of Engineering are you into?"
OOC**Sillik, your a Private, thats the lowest you can get in the field of marines. Crewmen is for space farers
. Private is marines. Tho they are the same when it comes to rank.
. But could you please change your CREWMEN title to Private for less confusion please?.
"We know that its in the thousands and they probly have more ships inbound to reinforce there presense. Make sure when planning the defense that there has to be a place where the command staff of the base is secured at and theres cover where the heavy gunners can provide cover with there weapons got it?. We will be bringing Puma's, Pelicans, Phaser rifles, grenades, you name it, we will bring it, even plasma Gattling guns. Hence the name 'heavy weapons'." he responded.
delete
"Someone who can make sure you stay ensign if you dont show respect to your superiors."
"Was he? I don't know..."
*stands up and paces*
"I do remember one story he told me. He had an ornamental dagger, an old one...that was his great grandfathers. His grandfather had found it in a dig on some planet. His grandfather said it was extremely old, and that he wasn't sure who it belonged to...it was thought that a race had occupied the planet quite some time before. What i think is...that the dagger, wherever it is...is a felian (or felian) item. I don't know for sure...i'd have to ask him."
<Looks at the dagger then looks back at cadet Bailey with a confused look>
"That dagger hasnt changed shape or switched forms, Cadet. But if there such cannibals then they wont come near those who are better then they are for we are technological superior to any primitives."
"Welcome. Are.......you a civilian ?"
"Myself no. The Government yes, the war left us exposed to Invasion, Once your in the Army you can't leave with ease, Myself, on a moments notice i'm on the next shuttle home."
Balkazar gets up and goes to the replicator and asks for a rootbeer
<Turning to Jacob>
"Wouldyou like anything?" he asks
"anything good" he replies
<Just before Kassie and Braxton enter>
"Recon and heavy combat, sounds like fun"
<Just then Kassie and Braxton rushes into the room>
Sergeant Ressik leaves the office and is back in 20 minutes
"better hurry up sir, we are almost ready for departure, oh and heres your gear" he says handing over Balkazar's combatt gear.
<2.5 minutes later>
The pelicans, and fighters prepare for depature. Lt Colonel Balkazar enters one of the pelicans followed shortly by Sergeant Ressik.
as soon as they are onboard the hatches are closed and the force lifts off
"It's all operational." Ressik says before Balkazar heads off to ops.
Ressik moves a bout and stows his gear before moving to ops.
"I will make note to go through the database then, thank you sir. As soon as I am dismissed, I shall begin my assignment as quickly as possible"
sir,i am mhipszkyi believe that it is you sir,to whom i have to report.and if not i respectfully request you show me the correct way. thank you sir
"How much of the other fields of Engineering do you know?. I ask because we may need to set up quick defenses at some point with lil time to prepare them. Or set up a forward base in enemy territory with base defenses and you will have a day to do it in. Or set up landing Pad's for Pelicans or repair depot's for Puma's." he told the Private.
"We are a Marine Corp. who just so happens to have the pleassure of doing some of the most dangerous missions known to Starfleet. We can be deployed on some strange world who is in open revolt and we will have to subdue them. I need to know you can handle a situation where you will have to make a choice. Shoot the man whos about to shoot you, or let the man doing the shooting kill innocents." he inquired.
*chuckles*
"Funny thing, 'sir', i'm not an ensign yet. I'm a cadet."
*stresses the "sir" with sarcasm*
*takes a seat*
"Was he supposed to be carrying anything else ?"
*Shakes head*
"You're not looking at it right...you have to let your mind go blank. Don't you see? That's a basis for them. They are superior than us when it comes to the mind. They can make us see things, they can control us. They're no primative beings."
*contiunues pacing*
"You see, your arrogance...your haughty attitude only helps them."
*shakes head*
Jacob Ressik enters Lt Colonel Balkazar's office, admiring the scenery as he enters.
"Jacob Ressik reporting for duty sir" He says snapping to attention and saluting.
<Balkazar brings back 2 rootbeers and hands one to Jacob>
"Being a marine means you have to stay with your unit, if something happens to force you to leave then that wont be good because then you may be on a mission somewhere and your not able TO return home. This is a very bad thing. I admire your loyalty to your nation, but I expect loyalty to the Marines as well. Loyalty to starfleet. Hmmmmmmm, you think you have what it takes to be a marine ?"
<Breathes in heavily>
"Sir, im sorry for the intrusion. But when Braxton and I were doing a survey. <Tries to catch there breath> We ran across a locked door it was as if it was put there in the early to late 19th century, then we found a HUGE!!!! hanger like bay, so big I would say a 2 or 3 Prometheous class starships could fit inside the thing, but we found Statsis pods instead. Then we found what looked to be a command area but there were skeletons there. They looked like they been dead sense the year 2200. Im not sure what was going on but then some robots chased us out of there and we came here. We need your help sir." <Falls to the floor breathing heavily as they tried to catch there breath>
"Yes sir, Thank you sir."
<Entering his office he went to his desk and started to go threw the paper work that built up over the past few weeks sense he was gone to Jarkenan>
"I have experience in engineering design and repair. My major field of engineering training from a prestigous engineering institute was the study of the propulsion system"
sir,i am mhipszkyi believe that it is you sir,to whom i have to report.and if not i respectfully request you show me the correct way. thank you sir
"I see. The Plasma gattling gun makes up around 10 compression rifles in 1, except they fire plasma bursts and use specifically designed power cells as ammo. Puma's are our quick land vehicles. Pelicans are our rapid air response ships. Grenades are thrown weapons tho they have short range. All of this is in our database."
"Show respect to your superiors, I personally dont care if your a cadet or an admiral. I really dont care, however, what im about to tell you will remain here on this base, if you breath a word of it to anyone I will ensure that you spend the best of your cadet days in the brig. Understand ?"
*shakes head, mumbling, "What is it with marines and details..."*
"Listen, 'sir', did he have anything with him? Something that you wouldn't think to be with him. Anything, at all?"
<Looks at the ornamental dagger, then looks at cadet bailey>
"Ummmmm, I dont see anything. You feeling alright, Cadet?"
"We marines are nothing like starfleet. They take care of the space combat, we take care of the ground and air combat. Theres nothing the same about us. Our training is superior in many ways to starfleet, but they need us for we are there backbone in ground combat. Ships security is trained for guarding a ship, we are trained for both air, land, and ship to ship combat. Our training is totally different which is where our strength of thinking differently comes into play. Some take our advice while others shun our advice and usually it turns out for the worse in the end when our knowledge is ignored. <Sighs>, never become a Col. or a commander its tough more then you know. Tho on a brighter note I get my telepathy from my mother, she was betazoid."
"New Zealand has a defense force ?, I didnt know that there was a civil war breaking out on earth ?"
" I know i have what it takes, i have contacts in high command who will transfer me into the reinvasion force, though i don't see the need, i helped supervise the construction of our defence systems"
Ressik takes a swig of the rootbeer
"Yeah and if a Starfleet officer have anything to say about it, they will charge in without thinking of the consquences from all angles if they havent alredy."
"Kassie, you and Braxton may come but stay on the pelican. Sargent mobilize Alpha and Charlie companies. Get them to the Pelicans. I want Puma's On site to keep those starfleet officers from doing something stupid if they havent alredy. We will take the Pelicans as well as several of our fighters to the sight to maintain some degree of order. MOVE!. Also prep for heavy combat, we dont know what we are dealing with yet. Sargent get my gear too im coming."
"That will be very useful. I was just going over my records and I just noticed that Captain William Richerd was assigned as Bravo Company CO. Would you be willing to go to First Lt. Bravo Company XO?."
"Your training in borg technology will be very useful if they decide to rear there ugly heads again. Intelligence you say?. Hmmmmmmm, you wouldnt know a Captain Simon Rajnus would you?, He is teaching the Tactical/Security class at the DSA."
<Outside>
The ULA Freedom flys overhead landing long enough for Ressik to get out. He marchs up to Colonel Balkazars office and enters.
*Ressik stands to attention and salutes.
"Sgt Ressik Reporting back in sir. Sorry i've been away for so long, but the citadell on Jarken needed alot of work."
"I have worked in other parts of the engineering department in my time in the field. I think my general knowledge of it will be adequate enough to fulfill the needs in my service of the Starfleet Marines. Rest assured, I will perform as instructed and needed in this duty, sir".
"Odd speech, but yes you found the correct place. So tell me about yourself?"
"Not like anyone would believe me. There isn't another brain in starfleet."
*sighs*
"My father forced me to enlist. He said it was insistant that i do."
*rolls eyes*
"Lets just say I can bring him up on charges of armed assault against a civilian, oh not to mention he was babbling about Falians or felines or some such, oh and he had scares that looked like he has been in a battle and he hasnt recieved medical attention so those wounds got infected and he looks aweful. Oh and he assaulted a marine. Thats 2 charges of Assault and insanity, thats enough to put him away for a very long time."
*Gestures, can you see the writing on it? How it doesn't seem to stay still? It's because it doesn't stay in one point, it is constantly in a flux. It adapts to the one who holds it. Whomever it is..."
*Stops for second, thinking*
"I think it's called the Kyrush Dagger. You see the face on the base of it? That's their patron god, Kyru. He has the domains of Greed, War, Hate, Cannibalism."
*Paces around*
"You see...'sir', these beings, they are monsters. They are telepathic monsters. They can use each of us against each other. They are flesh eaters...and prize themselves when they can feast."
"No offense sir, but i am sure the marines are different than many things, but i would like to talk to my father...i don't think we have that much time."
"To be a marine if all goes to plan, I have served over 5 years with the New Zealand Defence force and served in the civil war over a year" Ressik responds to Lt Colonel Balkazar's question
"I see, High command doesnt take much interest in Marine matters. Tho there word is law they dont rule over marines like tyrants. We must know we can count on each other in a pinch. You think you can do that ?" <Takes a drink>
Sergeant Ressik goes through the situation
"Sound like we got our selves a mystery on our hands"
turns to Lt Colonel Balkazar "What are you going to do?"
As he sat down he look around the room, noticing pictures and awards and other things usual offices have. Sir I have Major in Cryptography,Borg Technology and also training in Marine Unit Readiness Program (MURP)Zero-G training while in boot camp and graduated fifth out of ten in my class. Train in Marine combat. did many years in Starfleet Intelligence.
"Well then, I hope things are going good there." he said getting up and straightening his uniform.
"Report to Ops in 1 hour." he said leaving for ops.
OOC**I think that post made sense.
aye sir.........iam 35 years old i have prior military experiance on earth.iam part borg ..my exterior implants have been removed un fortunaly in doing so i have been scarred.i am egressive,but very loyal.i respectfully request for duty as a marine..........i am yours to command.
"Funny thing you mentioned your father, hes currently in my brig and why I have sent my men to get you. Supposedly, hes insane claiming an unseen enemy is coming and they will do anything and everything to kill him and you. I was hoping you could shed some light on this ?"
*Follows him out*
"You name it i can get it done, or die trying" He replies smiling slighty before taking another drink
<Sitting behind his desk going threw mission log's he stood up as the young captain walked into the room and offered his hand. Balkazar stood up and shook Olivers hand, then motioned for the Captain to sit>
"I see your my new Bravo CO. Im glad that Starfleet was able to find someone. So tell me a little about yourself, Captain?. I need to know something about the man who will be in charge of almost 100 marines under his command." he said this as he was working on his computer.
"Yes of course, your dismissed."
"But keep in mind when finding things out, try not to talk to anyone on Avalon station of our activities. Thats an order." he told the Private.
*eyes get big for a sec, then she furrows her brow*
"I've only heard of it once. I figured it was just anecdotes of his service in starfleet."
"You realize he must remained confined to the brig and his cell correct ?. If you can accept that fact then you may see him, we both will. Lets go."
*Balkazar and Elizabeth leave the COs office and the Sergent and his 2 marines accompany the down to the brig*
"Tell me about your skills ? Anyone can use a phaser and blow someone away. It takes a true marine to beable to do everything or atleast some thing else besides shoot people?"
he looked up at the clock. "1900," he sighed. Almost as if on cue, the chime to her door rang. Mr. Davis, I presume, he thought. "Enter," he called, straightening out his jacket as he stood to greet his visitor. Davis was now running on pure adrenalin. He had not slept in three
days and had enough caffeine in his system to keep him up for three more.
He brushed off the front of his duty uniform several times, still not happy with the several small white specks of dust which appeared. He cursed silently. Blend, just blend. Act casual, you can do this
Davis. Casual but professional, he thought. He made his way to her office and pressed the small panel on the side
of the entranceway which would alert her that he had arrived. His
anticipation level only increased as the word "enter" came from the other side of the door. He gave his shirt one more brush and then stepped
inside. The Man before him was much more taller than he had imagined, younger if anything. This only reaffirmed his desire to maintain strict professionalism. He liked his superiors to almost think of him as robotic, following orders
and code and duty with precision to a flaw. "Colonel Balkazar I presume, it is honor to meet you. I am Captain Oliver Davis." He offered his hand with these words.
*He nods and leaves*
