The Flag Admiral's Office

[Vorak]

*Vorak suddenly stands up.*
"Kha'Var, this is not the time nor place to... brag with your warrior talents. This is a crisis situation, as it is very likely that an entire fleet of Loxian Government ships is on its way here to attack the station in force. Is that reason enough?"
*Vorak takes a deep breath and sits down again.*

[Embries]

"A perfect idea! They won't know what's happening to them, and we will have the element of surprise at our side!"
*He takes a padd and taps some buttons.*
"Hmmm... ah, here it is. From the sensor reports of the U.S.S. Skytoucher during its encounter with the Loxian Government fleet, I can conclude that they appear to use koranium, which is also a subspace element used in Klingon warp drives. However, this particular element is not a regular koranium element. The Loxians apparently use soliton koranium, a rare combination but effective. Soliton is known, basically, to consist energy that does not diminish, and is capable of generating subspace fields allowing vessels to travel at warp speed with low energy consumption."
*He puts his padd aside and turns to admiral Vorak and Kha'Var.*
"I believe I can recalibrate the station's sensors to increase their sensitivity scans particularly for soliton koranium. That way we should be able to track them far more efficiently and easier. We may even be able to determine from the soliton koranium emissions, how large their fleet more or less is. Ms. Kha'Var, I could also transmit the scanner modification sequences to your ship as well, so you can benefit from this advantage too."

[Embries]

"Well, I assume that the evacuation procedures and shutting down those empty decks, will take some time, but recalibrating the sensors will, with Mr. Hedford's help, be done in less than an hour. I suggest Ms. Kha'Var's ship does not leave until we have completed the recalibration, so we can send the sensor modification sequences to her ship first."

[Hedford]

"Understood Sir"

*Hedford gets up and follows Embries out of the office*

[Vorlok]

Off: *Gasp*. I can't wait till u tell mother u lost me. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

[KHa Var]

*KHa'Var raises her voice.*

"You ASSUME he is WELL!  Is THAT your way of telling me YOU don't KNOW WHERE our SON IS?  YOU LOST HIM, YOU FIND HIM NOW!  AND I BETTER SEE VORLOK IS WELL OR I WILL HAVE SOMEONE'S HEAD!!!!!"

[Paris Love]

"A commbadge to keep in communication with you and others is all that I'll need besides the console I'd actually use in the office."

[Vorak]

"Your response is quick and adequate indeed. It appears that... Q has brought me back here. Very well, it seems I have alot of administrative work to do anyway."

[dutchman]

sir will ms love be joining us in that case i need to prepare another qauter for her

[Paris Love]

OFF: Save a few Q incidents, all I can think of in this division: Skytoucher returns with Vakin and two assassins, Love throws them a party. Several ships return from Starphoenix in horrible shape. The end. Surely someone else can fill you in more.

[Vorak]

OFF: if you told him at first that you would participate, and then told him you weren't going to do that any longer, I understand that he could have gotten upset. Maybe you could have pointed out what bothers you, instead of simply walking out of the mission. Maybe both of you simply need to calm down for awhile now, and then talk it out peacefully.

[KHa Var]

"My ship is no antique, and have you ever heard of a Klingon being late to a battle?  I promise we will not miss the main battle.  Besides if that happens, I won't have any fun.  Not only do I plan to locate the Loxian fleet, but I also plan to find a nice place to travel within their formation.  Thus causing confusion among them, when I play phaser tag.  It would be a challenge to see if they can see the truth of what is happening.  However I am confident that they will assume that one, or more, of their own ships are attacking their comrades."

[Vorak]

"Keep control over your emotions, Kha'Var, rationality is a tactical advantage over an irrational enemy. We will proceed with the discussed plans, when everything is properly prepared. Without adequate preparation, the entire plan may fail."
*He turns to Detrell.*
"Very well, you have my authorization to shut down life support in non-essential areas. However, you will have to coordinate with ambassador Gordon, to make sure that all people are evacuated first. We must make sure not to leave anyone behind."
*He leans back in his chair and regards Hedford, who had just joined.*
"Mr. Hedford, thank you for coming late, rather than never. You will assist Mr. Embries in the recalibration of our sensors, after this meeting is over. He will brief you of the entire situation, but suffice it to say that we are preparing for a likely attack of the Loxian Government."
*Then he turns to face everyone present in his office.*
"Very well, how fast do you think all preparations can be completed?"

[Montrell]

*Montrell turns to Admiral Vorak*

"Is there any more information about the Loxian strength? Maybe we can analyse their attack-patterns during the Vontak Nor battle and come up with a defensive plan for it?"

[Vorak]

OFF: how is Vorak to know all that anyway? He was responsible for the survival of thousands of lives and you worry about a Droid out to kill you :-P
