The office of admiral Montrell

[Montrell]

*Montrell layed down a padd he was reading*

"Yes Captain, please sit down. Would you like something to drink?"

*Admiral Montrell stands up and walks to the replicator*

"I've been briefed shortly on the happenings at Dantor and Deep Space 12. I was hoping that you could fill in the blanks for me."

*Montrell ordered a cup of tea and awaited the Captain's request*

[Brian Higgins]

"We will continue to work on it, Admiral."

"As far as Gordon report, I think we should make contact with them, Couldnt hurt us and it wont hurt them.  They are fighting a war that we dont understand, I say allow them to teach us to understand them.  (The enemy of my enemy is my friend), Frontier makes the alliance out to be bad people, but I have met some of them and they arent bad people, there just misunderstood, because we wont take the time to understand them.  Thats what went wrong at Frontier, the Admiralty, wouldnt take time to understand them.  But I believe that if you talked to them, then I think it would benefit us in the end, They wish to form an alliance.  But after the Frontier incident they arent too sure.  Half there fleet was destroyed fighting the Chronastines to protect that outpost.  They mean well when they say they will defend us until we grow up.  But they are also willing to teach us how to grow up.  But no one has allowed them too teach us.  So I figured I would come here on there behalf so to speak."

"Will you talk to them, it wouldnt hurt.  But if you wish to talk to them Alliance, there leaders will come.  They tend to travel in huge ships when going into unknown territory such as this.  But I assure you, Andros wouldnt hurt you.  So will you let them teach us how to grow ?"

OOC**I had to actually think when posting this one :P Oh no http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>.  Its cool Montrell, We understand http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> your slow in your old age LOL.

[Montrell]

"Yes Captain, that's all for now. There is currently no mission for the Skytoucher planned. I suggest you use this time for repairs and for your crew to get some rest and relaxation."

*Montrell took a padd from the table*

"Dismissed" *He sees the captain turn around and leave his office*

"Let me see, report no 22 of 54, why can't we have Hermes to read these and file them....he's clever enough" *sigh*

[Montrell]

*Also rises and shakes the ambassador's hand*

"Very well, until the next time Ambassador!"

*Montrell stood up and headed towards the door towards OPS*

[Montrell]

*Montrell smiles for a second and the replies*

"Retract your request to resign your commission. Ofcourse Will, consider that done. Now let's talk about your position here aboard this station. I assume you would like to keep a place in a command function?"

*Montrell saw Will nodding and then continued*

"I have already spoken with Admiral Vorak, as I was still hoping on your consideration, and he agreed on this. As we are now moving Station Avalon towards Dantor and with the frequent absence of Admiral Vorak, my workload has increased dramaticly. Therefor I'm willing to give you the command over Avalon Division. This will give me more room and time to look into the whole Expansion Project."

"The past missions have been rather... hectic. But a quiet mission to Vontak Nor is what the crew needs now. It is a perfect occassion for them to calm things down and spend some time in the messhall or holodecks. By the way, on Vontak Nor, the Loxians have built a beautiful park that is worth visiting. Nothing holographic, but a real indoor park, with all sorts of plants and trees one's never seen before. I could make some pictures for you next time I'm there, if you want, admiral. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> "

[Montrell]

*As the two gentlemen had left his office, Admiral Montrell continued with his normal duties. He had to read several reports and complete a debriefing for Starfleet Command. Before he continued work, he stands up and walks to the replicator. He orders Vulcan Spice Tea and some moments later a cup of tea materializes in the replicator. He then walks back to his desk and sees that a message has been relayed to his computer from OPS.*

"This is strange, a message stating to have vital information for me but not giving me any. This better be real ...."

[John Casden]

Mr. Montrell, it has come to our attention that...ehem..*he looks around*

Computer, disable audio recording devices in this office, authorization Casden Alpha. *after hearing the computers acknowledgement he turns back to Montrell.*

That due to certain events Admiral Vorak may no longer be fit to command this sector. Our presense here is to check this information and perform our own investigation into this matter. I will expect your utmost cooperation in this matter.

[Draekon]

Lets get the pleasentries out of the way first before we get to business.

I'm most interested in seeing this new technology that the station is built off.

Dont you agree? *looks at Casdan*

[Embries]

"Thank you, admiral."
*Embries leaves and heads to his quarters to get some sleep.*

[Andrea Ramsey]

"Umm...I know that you probably aren't the best person to be going to with such trivial requests, bu I was wondering if there was a facility on your station that could be used in lieu of a crematorium.  Please, it's very important."

[Brian Higgins]

OOC**I think this is the right place lol http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

IC**After the 2 admirals enter the office and montrell took his seat behind his desk, Brian starts to explain the use of the converter*

"Intelligence has been studying the nijgat ever sense they entered our sector of the galaxy, and we believe we may have found a weapon that could possible hurt or cripple them.  However, it required huge amounts of energy which is where the (Energy Converter) comes into play.  Its planned use is to turn the nijgat's energy sucking against itself, you see admiral.  Whatever kind of energy you stick into the converter it will convert it into useable energy for us.  Meaning if the Heraan decides to fire there weapons, it doesnt matter what kind of weapons they use at the station, that energy is redirected into the converter and it will switch to the most potent energy you wish to make out of it.  I know it sounds like this is useless but its not.  Intel is currently working on a weapon that can harness and use the converters energy into a potent weapon.  The plan is, is to figure out how to harm the nijgat.  Well, why not use its own weapons against it ?.  Thats our thinking at the moment.  Right now we are 50% completed with the (Stellar Cannon).  The Cannon requires so much energy to run that it draws the energy from the converter into a nice potent phaser beam of sorts.  Its a positive energy phaser beam.  We think that the cannon can also be used as a defensive network too.  But we are still toying with that concept."

"Now, the other reason I came here, Recently you have been sent a document concerning events thats been happening at Frontier.  I would like to put my own 2 cents into it.  To add the truth so to speak."

"The Threat, that your ambassador speaks of in his report, isnt the Knights.  The Knights are trying there hardest to protect the federation from the true enemy, There are new threats trying to make there incursions into this galaxy, the Sal'Tek, for example, my reports tell me that they are worse then the nijgat on so many levels, Andros, has his enemy from his old home galaxy, the Chronastines.  There angels compared to the Sal'Tek, but they are a bad sort too.  I have witnessed first hand on how the Commanders over at frontier station have welcomed a worthy ally and guest, and its not the way you would have done it, the Admirals over there met Andros with discontent, mistrust, and they wanted to hang him from his neck so to speak, because his way wasnt the right way for them.  Yes, I suppose Andros wanted supplies from frontier, but the admirals over there didnt even try to understand Andros's Point of veiw on things.  I will tell you his point of veiw.  His old homeworld was in a state of civil war, brothers against brothers, sisters against sisters, you get the idea.  Well the Chronastines killed Andros's parents, forced him from his own planet because they didnt see eye to eye, then they hoped into there mother ship, known as the Alexander and feld to save there own lives.  Then Intel Found them, helped them out, and found them a new world to give them.  Then Andros tried to go and talk to the Federation at frontier and all the Admirals did was show him distrust, and disrespect for no reason.  We are on a breaking point, Sir.  We are on the edge of a knife and new allies are what we need, new allies, new friends.  *sighs*, Atleast meet with Andros before you pass judgement over weather or not you trade with him.  Talk to him, get to know him, You may find that he has alot to offer you, not in just ships.  Perhaps we should try a diplomatic solution to this instead of trying to cut them out all the way.  I can summon him here right now if you wanted to talk to him.  But allow me to tell you a little bit about him."

"Andros, is a General.  Even tho his people treat him as a King, and in some ways a god, he is there general.  His men would put there very lives on the line for him.  Hes kind, Gentle, honorable, and hes VERY! respectful of others, even if they arent respectful back.  He would treat you with the utmost respect even if you were his enemy.  Which I hope it doesnt come down to that.  He safe guards his men, and his men safe guard him.  He owes intel his very life, sir.  The USS Unity saved his ship and him almost 2 years ago.  And ever sense then hes put his life, and his men have put there lives on the line every single day to make sure Federation space remains as such, Federation space, not Sal'Tek space, Or borg space.  We need to treat Andros with the utmost respect.  Then he will show us respect right back."

"Andros and his people are also telepathic, with some rare telekenetic abilities.  He may have a big ship and he may be telepathic to the extreme but he uses his ship NOT! to conquer like the Frontier may have claimed, he uses his ships to defend us.  I know we can defend ourselves, but compared to his enemy, we are but children trying to survive in a hostile world.  We need to grow, and Andros is willing to teach us how too.  He uses his telepathy to help people whos minds have been hurt, whos bodies have been shattered bye some war or such.  He wants to help us, I say let him help us, Allow him to help us grow so we can defend ourselves from these threats that we know NOTHING! about.  Be open minded Admiral, Maybe then you would be surprised how worthy of allies and friends they can be."

"Part of the Federation Charter I think, was to search out new life, and new civilizations.  Well this is a new life form, and I think you should hear out what Andros and his Katorlian allies have to say.  Both there enemies are coming, and I think that it would be a wise decision to talk to them.  Im asking you to talk to them Admiral.  Theres no harm in it is there ?"

[Will Karelia]

"Wait...what? You're promoting me? You're putting me in command of Avalon Division? That's the core of the whole operation! Sir, I... I don't know what to say! Thank you!"

[Montrell]

"All right, you have permission to return to Vontak Nor and bring Varnek to "Great" Burma. But there is a possibility that you will need to return here, strange things can happen here once a while."

*Montrell takes his tea and drinks*

"Don't let your coffee get cold Captain, and don't you leave before it's empty. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>. Please tell me something about that park, the Loxian's have build on Vontak Nor"
