The Flag Admiral's Office

[KHa Var]

*KHa'Var looks at Embries.*

"Fine, major.  Have the modification sequences sent to my ship."

*KHa'Var standing up from her seat turns to her husband.*

"The sooner I am permitted to return to my ship, the sooner I can be on my way.  We are loosing precious time that I could be using to locate our enemies!"

*She slams a fist down on the table, making it shake.*

[Embries]

"I believe it can be done, admiral. It shouldn't take much time to make the necessary modifications on my part, but I believe that Mr. Detrell of engineering will have the most work rerouting the necessary power couplings to achieve the thoron field."

[Taurik]

Captain Taurik enters the office, surprized to see several high-ranking oficers in a meeting.

"I'm sorry, I did not wish to intrude."

[Frank Gordon]

Gordon spoke up after his long silence

"Puphaps, but if they are already bringing a fleet that outnumbers us we will have less chanced to win even with suprise. Whith knowledge of help morale will be up and chances better if all we have to do is hold out. Our fellow divisions have powerful ships and some close enough to get here in no more than 2 days"

[Vorak]

"Very well, since there are no more questions... Dismissed, everyone. Begin preparations as agreed."

[Vorak]

*Vorak watches everyone leave the office. Then he turns to the computer panel.*
"Computer, display all other ships currently within the sector."
*The computer shows three dots on the stellar map: the U.S.S. Venture, the U.S.S. Tiberon and the U.S.S. Ares.*
"Computer, establish a secure link with all three ships."
Computer: "Channel open."

=^= Avalon Station to U.S.S. Venture, U.S.S. Tiberon and U.S.S. Ares =^=
This is a secure channel. We believe that we may soon be under attack from a large fleet of the Loxian Government. We will require your assistance to limit damage and casualties to a minimum. Please set immediate course to Avalon Station, near the Expansion Nebula.
=^= Vorak out =^=

[Vorak]

"We will likely retrieve Vorlok easier and faster, if we keep control over our emotions and handle the situation logically. It is also illogical to assume that Vorlok was indeed kidnapped. All options must be considered, including the ones we do not think of. Follow me to the Promenade, please."
*Vorak leaves his office, followed by Kha'Var. They both enter the turbolift and head for the Promenade.*

OFF: continues in Enoch's Camelot Medieval Store.

[Paris Love]

*Love enters behind the Admiral, gazing around at numerous people working at consoles. She nods politely to all that turn to see her.*

[Vorak]

"Combadge... console... Very well, all noted, Ms. Love. However, I have not had the chance to speak much with you, and it would be most logical to do so due to the fact we will work together. Would a dinner at the Klingon Restaurant be suitable for you?"

[Vorak]

*Vorak just put away his last padd as he saw her enter.*
"Ah, very well. You are sooner than expected. We shall now beam over to the ship."

[Vorlok]

OFf: What about me damm it http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

[KHa Var]

*KHa'Var walks into Vorak's office without heasitating and disregards the presence of the senior officers.*

"Vorak, I need to speak with you NOW!"

[Detrell]

"Well first of all, to have any upgrades to the system you will have to evacuated the civilians from the habitat area and ofcourse the promonade. When these systems are overloaded and they will, then there is a certain possibility of huge explosion in these areas."

*Detrell stands up and walks to the wall screen, he touches it and it displays Station Avalon*

"Our shield generators are located here, here and here *Detrell shows three places on Station Avalon*. All these generators are in perfect shape and can be given an overload of 25%, which will provide us with additional shieldstrength. We can also modulate the shields to choose a random frequency every 10 minutes so the Loxians will not be able to penetrate it. You never know which trick they are able to use this time"

*Detrell stops and quickly continues*

"For our weapons, I can give them more strength but that means that we will have to shut down several non-essential systems. For example we can shut down life-support on several decks, after we have evacuated all personel.
There are more non-essential systems that will automatically be shut down, so we will have enough power to strengthen our shields but weapon-enhancements ask us to shut down more."

[KHa Var]

*Looks at Montrell.*

"Would the edge of the nebula be close enough for you?  I assume the nebula would interfere with the Loxian sensors, but you could still be able to see what is going on and could receive transmissions.  Do you have no faith in the abilities of your fighting comrades?  I would not be caught dead, to be late for such an event!  I could also send the tactical information of their ships ahead, by disguising the transmission or send it from in front of their own fleet.  To prevent them from intercepting the transmission of vital information."

*KHa'Var sits back down with a smile, while her proposed attack plan is being discussed by the station's senior staff members.  She listens avidly to additional suggestions.*

[Vorak]

"Indeed, the nebula could be used to effectively 'hide' the ships from the sensors of the Loxian fleet. They will believe their target is an easy one, and will form their ranks accordingly. When they have done so, the U.S.S. Skytoucher and U.S.S. Rivendell could appear, causing confusion and surrounding their fleet. They will have nowhere to go, and will have to reform their ranks, for which they will have no time or place.
