"The most advanced ship indeed," Svensson said as he returns to the bridge wearing his regular Starfleet uniform. "Welcome, Lt. Blake, it is good to have a chief engineer. I suppose this is a good time to ask you about the status of the engines?
By the way, yes what was that shockwave? Did we hit something? How far are we from Vontak Nor right now?"

"Thank you, doctor. Your turn now, Mr. Huw" *grins*

Svensson returns to the bridge.

"Status report? What happened to those Cardassians?"

OFF: am i and the doc the only ones alive?

"I just hope that with firing those quantum torpedoes, we haven't attracted too much attention to ourselves. After all, such explosions are easier to detect by one's sensors than our ship right now. But then again, I guess that in such a meteor field, sooner or later a few meteors collide as well naturally.
Either way, keep a good eye on your sensors, I have this uneasy feeling that tells me things won't stay quiet for much longer."

OFF: no problem http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

"Seems like I have some extra time to make up my mind about an alias name. Last time I have been undercover, was on the USS Skytoucher. I'll go with Anthony Travis, I think."

OFF: yep don't worry about the avatar, if you would need to change, you can always log in to your profile and choose another avatar http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

"Anyway, I want a full report on the extent of the damage. We need to make repairs as soon as possible, there's no time to lose! From what I know about the Dark Passage, it's not a good place to stay alone, and every second we linger is a second danger grows bigger. In fact, my least worry are the Cardassians detecting us, there are far greater perils in this dark area."

OFF: Thanks for letting us know http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Also, I'm closing this topic and opening a new one (the battle of DS12). That means the following:

The USS Phoenix is to join the Task Force Fleet that is to take DS12 back from the Romulans who captured that station. The people that are in the hearing with Montrell, are considered to be dropped off in the JAG's office, and the rest of the crew will be on the ship. Since Becker is in the JAG office, I will lead the ship a little longer, but it will be the last one before I turn over command to Becker definitely http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Read the new topic for further instructions http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

*turns to Fairfax*

"Maybe it would be a better idea if we pay a visit to Vontak Nor, while we are here."

*turns to the viewscreen*

"If Admiral Rugal does not mind, of course, that we would visit his station?"

*frowns deeply*

"WE, the masters of undercover and spy work, have a spy on our own ship! Just great! Suggestions, anyone?"

OFF: yes, this map is yet about to be created, but it will be up with the new design of the Expansion website (probably by the end of this month). So be patient a bit longer, and you'll actually have an updated map on the Expansion universe http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

OFF2: I will style this Starbase 6 as an Intelligence station, working together with S31 and FSS. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Intel/FSS has also Kennedy Station, and Beta Base. They will all be placed on the map.

"Mr. Tpolish, may I ask why you are taking Admiral Rugal into custody? He has been of great help cleaning out exiled Cardassians who enslaved people. But as the Federation Secret Service always claims to know everything first hand, I'm sure you already knew this sooner than we did ourselves."

*faces Nailo Tpolish and waits for an explanation*

OFF: sorry for not posting for some days, I had some personal problems.

"Thank you for your concern about my safety, Mr. Chekov, but when I took on this uniform I knew it was not without risk, and if my death is required to ensure the safety of Starfleet and the Federation, then I will not hesitate to do so!
Whatever we do now, we should not let the Cardassians know about our presence, and gather as much information as we can first."

OFF: I will talk to the Division CO of the Cardassian division, to ask them to participate in this mission too http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Mr. Mason is our helm officer, I believe, right? Mr. Mason, are you on duty?

"Hmm... these are clearly signs that we need to return home, because of of an overstressed crew, that urgently needs a few days off. Right, doctor?"

"Right... the natives. Good point mr. Huw.
Svensson to sickbay. Doctor can you join us on the transporter room? Take medical equipment with you please.
All right, once the doctor is here, we're ready and set to go!"

"Good! Let's all start taking on our roles. Open hailing frequencies to the Cardassian station Vontak Nor."

Ops: Hailing frequencies open sir.

"This is Captain Anthony Travis of the U.S.S. Phoenix. We are sent here by Starfleet on a peaceful mission, because you have helped the U.S.S. Evolution escape destruction from a Loxian attack. I think we can be helpful for each other if we work together."

"Something wrong with your combadge? Maybe our engineer should have a look at it."

OFF: wb Chekov and thanks for letting me know Andariel http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

"Yes, Mr. Huw, you may give him a quick tour of the general parts of the ship, if he wants it.  And I suppose that restricted access will do harm to no one.
Meanwhile, helm, lay in a course and prepare to leave this location, as soon as the admiral is on board.  Remember we are still in the Dark Passage, we will have to travel on impulse power carefully not to hit anything."
