Station Avalons Conference Room

[Weasly Cook]

Commander Weasly Cook walked into the conference. In his arms he is carrying Captain Smith, seeing how he was going to be heading right to the Celtic Corner after this meeting, he felt that he should show the cat a little bit of the station. He then sat down across from Commander Lollock. He was typing up a small report of the damage to his part of the ship, science bay one was going to be in need a major repair. But he was also worried about how Captain Smith might react to the live Gagh... or... dang what was it called again? Cook was surprised at himself for forgetting what the delicacy was called.

He looked and nodded at the Admiral. "Commander Cook reporting sir." He shook his head, he was once again in his own world, how would he ever get to be in a command position if he was going to be thinking too much.

Captain Smith softly meowed and purred. Cook only smiled and patted his head for the cat's encouragement.

*...Rob had walked into the room and grabbed a seat and sat...*

"Sorry Commander, there was some business on the ship I had to take care off before i cam to the station. have I missed anything?"

[Tara Lollock]

We were able to cause considerable damage to the lead ship however, the fleet was too much for our ship.

[Balkazar]

"Actually, Vice Admiral, I can.  By order of General Powell it is classified.  If you dont like it, take it up with him.  I told you all you need to know for the time being, if you want more out of me, then I will have to hear it from General Powell himself otherwise your out of luck." Balkazar said trying to remain as respectful as possible.

[Apodae Swift]

Swift gave a little laugh at Commander Lollock's comments. "Oh I wouldn't be too worried Ma'am." He said offhandedly to her. "I want to captain an exploration vessel not an escort, but your concern is a much appreciated confidence boost." He said jokingly with a sly little smile.

[Xavier Clark]

"That's exactly what I'm doing. I am the professional. Besides, it would be 'unwise' to leave the infirmary unmanned in the midst of combat."

[Balkazar]

"Good timing, Captain.  Split up the men in smaller teams 10 men each.  Standard search pattern.  We think the person whos doing all this is on Deck 1, manipulating the systems on the station.  Whoever it is, seems to want us alive.  If he can maniptulate the systems he can manipulate the security stations systems and seal us in anywhere we go.  So lets try not to blow much of the station up as we move out.  Your with me, get men from the Lothlorien to beam over and help with the deck by deck search.  Try and watch the Station securities backs on this one.  Whoever is doing this may be more then there simple training can handle." Balkazar said as he tapped his commbadge and ordered another battle armor suit to be beamed over.  Once it materialized he hopped into the suit and turned to leave.

"Oh, another thing, Lt. Swift, never talk to me in that way again.  You dont do it to your superior and you wont do it to me sense I am your superior as well regardless of what branch of the military we are in.  As far as whos in command, only the Admiralty may order me to do anything.  Commander Lollock and I share command for our perspective branches of military.  So watch your back as you search, Lt.  Theres something about you your keeping private and I will find out what it is because im pretty sure its the reason behind your consistent disrespect for the chain of command." Balkazar said as he turned his suit around to face Cook.

"Cook, very good.  You have some standard knowledge of what a search pattern is.  Come if you like but if theres more then one of these blighters you may have some difficulties.  I suggest getting a compression rifle out of the closest armory if you wish to aid us and get suited up in some form of armor unless you wish to do more ducking behind corners.  Also chasing a cat with claws and a guy with a phaser rifle is totally different but lets just agree to disagree.  Richerd told me enough about you that I think you can handle yourself." Balkazar said as he left the room with his men splitting up in teams of 10.

"By the way, Swift.  Marines work better in smaller forces then starfleet security.  You believe larger numbers will win the day when that isnt correct about marines.  We work best in small groups instead of one large one.  On a planet thats in a state of war, large groups will get killed and become fodder for artillery fire.  I would think you would know this already sense you a tactical officer." Balkazar stated as he left the room.

<Outside the command deck the marines split up into teams of 10 and headed for a deck by deck search of the station.  Balkazar along with Richerd and 8 other marines in armored suits stood outside the doors of the command deck waiting for the Starfleet officer to join them>

((Where do we post this stuff at Julian?, there has to be a mission thread isnt there for this ?))

((Dont mind Balkazar, I have toned his displeasement of starfleet down alot.  Hes willing to work with Starfleet now http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.))

[Julian]

*doing what comes natural and what he's so very much used to, Julian jumps to his feet and snaps to attention*

Admiral Vorak sir!

[Apodae Swift]

"Just wait a minute commander, I'm a little confused here. I know as much about temporal physics as a Klingon knows about Ghandi, but I always thought that chaos theory or something taught us that there were an infinite number of alternate realities. That in these realities anything that could ever happen has happened, all possible possibilities played out. I had always assumed that the Mirror universe was one of these countless alternate realities, but since the first hole was created there was almost a temporal link that could connect the two and make any future rifts in space time easy to open. But from what you said it kinda sounded like the device made some alternate realities. So are you saying the device made a whole bunch of alternate realities or that it simply opened up a hole, a door way through to these realities that could, in theory, now be accessed?" Swift asked, he actually knew quite a bit on the subject and want to ask a probing question.  His scientific curiosity was peaked and he had trouble hiding his intelligence, though he thought he had done it well.

((OOC: Just wanted to clear up a few scientific things there. The energy required to create a universe is literally astronomical. It would require the entire energy of the host universe to create it. However luckily for us chaos theory states that, due to the way particles behave on a subatomic level, every possible choice or decision or outcome or possibility is played out in some alternate reality. Thus it could be possible for the device to open doorways to these realities.))

[Julian]

Either that, or the blackout was meant to happen so that fleet could come through and attack the station without any trouble from our defence turrets around the planet and the station defences. we were completely defenceless then. If it were for the fact that our fleet miraculously was all at the station at the time, we probably would have been in alot of trouble.

My main concern is the safety of the crew of the Iroquois. I think the station needs to be put on full guard and a few of our turrets should be moved to the location of the rift for extra security.

[Julian]

Might i remind you Colonal that the marines are starfleet, and that dantor is a starfleet base. Don't even think for a second that this base is for marines only.

I dont need a grumpy senior officer trying to tell me what to do on my own station. And how dare you try to say that your marines are better than the starfleet officers. I did not organise this meeting to have you yell down my throat. I have the safety of 100's of thousands of ppl both on this station and on this planet to look out for. I never once said that you weren't good enough to do your job. I think you do your jobs quite well, i have seen it myself on the romulan invasion.

If we are to work together than your going to have to change your attitude towards us starfleet officers, especially those of higher rank than your own.

I would not ask for reports on whats going on if i didn't think it was of high importance. Half of the high command live on this station, i cant have you marines taking off on mission whenever you feel necessary, not if it brings risk to the station.

You must see where i am coming from, i dont want to intrude more than i have to but the safety of the federations presence in the delta quadrant lies in my hands, if this station falls then the federation is surely doomed. Hence why we moved to a safer place. Somewhere where we have a both naval and ground troop advantage.

Your request to have a marine base camp will be accepted, and i request that i have one of your marines as a leason as such, on the station, who will be sitting in on senior officer meetings and will have full contact with you all. And i expect Captain Janeway to do the same on Dantor.

OCC* i edited my first post to add in an open comm-link with the high command so they can hear in. i hope im not gettin ya too grumpy bal http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Balkazar]

"Excuse me, Admiral.  Jason is at your disposal within reason.  I need a drink.  Im sure theres much for you two to discuss.  So with that im heading to the bar for a drink."

<Balkazar then leaves the room with Eastwood in toe heading for the Celtic Corner>

[Kassie]

*Takes a seat between Archer and Julian*

"I dont see what help I could be.  I must have done something right to be in a meeting with 2 admirals, a captain, and a ambassador." *Smirks*

[Kassie]

"Admiral, I request a team of engineers, not archetures.  Archetures are for building things with primitive resources at there disposal, I think you meant engineers.  I also request, Ensign Mann, accompany me?, hes been walking around the station with nothing to do, and I think even tho this is my project, I think his input would be greatly needed, Sir."

[Vorak]

*The doors slide open and Vorak enters the room.*
"I apologize for being late. May I know the subject of the discussion for which this meeting is called together?"
*He takes place at one of the still empty seats.*
