Station Avalons Conference Room

[Julian]

*the admiral speaks up with a dissapointing voice and frowning apon his arguing officers.*

Are we quite done here?? I dont have time for your innocent bicaring and im sure the Heraan dont care either.

Now lets proceed. We will start with the Iroquois. Commander Lollock you and your team were sent out to rescue a freighter from an attack by the Heraan. What hapened.

[Tara Lollock]

I boubt he'll simply volunteer the information, ensign.

[Tom Titan]

*Tom nodded to the young ensign as he sat but did not say anything. He stood up and walked to the front of the room and spoke.*

"That will be enough from you, Colonel. I am quiet sure these orders will clear up most of the conflict with that issue/"

*He cleared his voice and read off the PADD.*

"First off I would like to welcome Ensign William Dolan to our crew. He will be our new Chief Science Officer replacing Ensign Velotion. Ensign Swift..."

*Titan took a concealed black box from behind him and tossed it to Swift. It contained a PIP with a filled center.*

"...has proven him self to be a valuable officer and has preformed outstandingly since he graduated from the DSA and joined Expansion Fleet. Admiral Yates is proud to present you this filled PIP and grant you the rank of Lieutenant JG. Congratulations, Lieutenant. I am sure you all know of the unfortunate fate that Major Nathen Keller our brave 17th Battalion XO, he is now in stasis until the needed repairs can be made to him. He is fatally wounded and he cannot be removed from stasis until we can get him to the Alpha Quadrent and back to earth so the he can undergo his proper surgeries. Admiral Yates is also promoting him to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and he to be awarded medals when he returns. Commander Lollock, as of now you are now the temporary captain of the Uss Iroquois. After you serve a one month probation period you will be fully appointed the CO and Commander Weasly Cook you are the Temp. XO and if Commander Lollock is appointed CO you will be the official XO. Now onto the real orders. As of this time all the information we know about the captured Heerani ships is now deemed classified by Admiral Yates. No admittance will be allowed to enter or see the ship with out authorization of Admiral Yates or Lieutenant General Powell. Absolutely NO senior, command, or admiralty will be allowed to see the prisoner Heerani Commander with out consent from Fleet Admiral William Karelia or admiral Yates. And to conclude Yates' orders, starting now both ship crews will be permitted two weeks leave until the proper repairs to the Uss Iroquois are completed."

*Tom nods and before he sits.*

"Any questions?"

[Voyager]

Dolan replied over the comm link,

"Alright, I'll come, but only a couple of drinks, I usually don't drink alcohol."

*He turns toward the Celtic Corner and prepares for the celebration*

[Xavier Clark]

Xavier sat quietly in his chair near the corner of the table, curious of how Lieutenant Starchaser ever acquired his rank.

[Julian]

*Julian walks into the the conference room. It looked as if noone had been in there since the blackout. He started to neatin the place up as their were a few padds scattered across the desk and chairs misplaced around the room. After doing so he took a seatnear the head of the table leaving seats for the flag and fleet admirals to take their seats.*

[Vorak]

"It appears that this will be the best course of action then, due to the absence of alternative solutions. Is there, however, any remote possiblity to establish a communication link with them?"

[Weasly Cook]

Commander Cook face faltered. "I do not know... but... I could hazard this guess, that they can only appear in a similar location in our universe on where they left... say... that vortex, it was opened near their Avalon Station and it appeared near our own... meaning.... well, it is like this. You have two plate of glass, each has an etching of our galaxy or star system... now, you push a metal pin through it, it will leave one plate and enter another at the exact same place... and I equate a plate of glass, because I noticed that there are small ripples or cracks in the fabric of space when the vortex is opened, but remove the pin... and the glass returns to normal... well, there may be a small dent or scratch where it was... but the complicated analogy is indeed how it works in the real fabric of space."

He hoped that this worked in explaining their ability of moving through the fabrics of space... well between theirs and the Mirror Universe he didn't want to begin right now to think about other universes that had their stellar locations completely different then their own system configuration.

[Julian]

*puts out a bit of a chuckle before speaking*

Commander any comments??

[Balkazar]

*Looks over the PADD*

"This means what, Admiral.  Theres nothing but jibberish here.  So no offense but please dont waste our valuable time with jibberish writing please.  With all do respect of course Admiral.  Just get the meeting going as to what this PADD means if you dont mind." Balkazar said with a mustered tone of respect in his voice.

OOC**Im RPing the way I think a tired and grumpy Marine would do it, so if I do go overboard tell me http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.

[Julian]

As you would know the site better than us, your help would be appreciated.

Now first things first. We are going to need a fairly secure base on the planet, but i think a planetary defense system should be organised first. Back on DS9 i remember reading a report of a mine field they put in place around the station and Bajor and the wormwhole. I would like they same kind of setup however, if we do there must be 2 sites of which the mines can be both activated and deactivated. one on the station, and one on the planet. My idea is to have both sites active to activate the mines, but however you only need one site with the right authorisation to deactivate them in case of something happening. The other thing is setting up some defence sattelites around orbit of the station, as well as long range sensor stations at strategic points throughout this planets solar system. This will dramatically help us in detectingunknown vessels. What imput do you two have on this matter ?

[Jason Patric]

"Starfleet thinks on such a lower level.  Always thinking bigger is better, like more ships will make the different or more troops will be the turning point.  Your missing the purpose, there would be no chain reactions if you set up a shield to cover each one, you would require tremendous amount of power just to maintain 1 mine, it will take lil power to maintain several little mines.  Stop thinking Starfleet when defending a planet.  I meant no disrepsect, Admiral."

[Ghemor]

He turned to the Commodore and smiled.
"It is Cardassians who decieve, while Intelligence heads such as yourself go around handing out information packets on your work? A pleasure to meet you, by the way. You have such discretion".

He turned to the Admiral.

"So we will be sneaking around while you occupy some sort of beings? I might not understand if that is not a correct interpretation".

[ALF]

"Im curious as to how would one of our race beable to join this Starfweet?"

[Apodae Swift]

"No offense Admiral, but it doesn't really matter what sort of technology the ship has or any of the nice minor details. The only use that ship has is covert operations to spy on the enemy, or to get a ship behind enemy lines to do a bit of sabotage. But the fact is we can't do that until we learn codes, ship to ship etiquette, the flying style, procedures when crossing boarders, what they keep on when not in battle, and a whole host of other things, for all we know the ship might be boo-bey trapped to explode if any species other then a Heeran tries to operate it. Our best bet is to get that captured captain to activate a remote link with the Heeran computer core. Then we can download the technical specifications and their cultural database, then study it. Hard." Swift told them, as far as he was concerned that was the only logical course of action. "Or failing that you could rip the thing to pieces to get all their technological secrets. Personally I think it's more valuable intact, but that really isn't up to me."
