The Flag Admiral's Office

[Andrew Yates]

Ok I will grant you the rank of Lieutenant JG. Your Captain will be Captain Jeroen Bode

[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 raises an eyebrow.*
"Medical department? Is he ill or injured?"

[dutchman]

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

[KHa Var]

"It seems as though I have no choice in the matter."

*KHa'Var sits back down, grumbling about the wasted time.*

"So I may as well make myself comfortable, as I suspect that you will not permit my ship to leave dock until you are ready here.  That and I am wise enough to know that I will have a higher success rate with those modifications."

[Vorak]

*Vorak walks into his office.*
"Lights."
*The lights turn on and Vorak sits down behind his desk, activating his computer screen.*
"Computer, replay message."
*The message from Cortana resounds again. Then, after some silence, Vorak looks up.*
"Computer, what ships are currently at or near Avalon Station?"
Computer: "U.S.S. Excalibur, Nova Division starship."
"Very well. Contact the U.S.S. Excalibur."

[Vorak]

*Vorak gives Kha'Var a serious look.*
"It was your choice to enter this meeting, and participate in it. So, you will abide to our rules as well."
*Then he turns to Dr. Nickerson.*
"Doctor, your reasoning is logical, but there is one problem. We do not know when the Loxian fleet will arrive, and the Rivendell may not have enough time to find the U.S.S. Evolution, and return here afterwards as well. Should the Loxian fleet arrive here during your absence, we will miss one part of the ship, which is at least equal in strength to the U.S.S. Evolution. Time does not allow us to do so."

OFF: the Evolution has another mission that needs to be carried out, and it'll take awhile. That's why http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Vorak]

"Ahh, ambassador. It has been a long time, it is good to see you again. Please, do sit down."
*Vorak points at a chair, and then sits down behind his desk.*
"What I am about to say, is confidential at this point. This area of space has been repeatedly attacked by a species known as the Na'jigat. They are not humanoid species, but exist of a pure form of energy, more particularly mental energy. This enables them to appear to you in any form they choose, without the ability for us to realise it is them, or to know they are there at all. No thoughts in your mind are safe from them, and it goes far beyond just that. They feed on all forms of energy, and therefore have attacked various starships, stations and planets. Deep Space 12 was utterly destroyed, and Starphoenix Base barely survived. Their attacks are growing bolder and stronger, as each time they gather more energy. Our weapons have proven useless, phasers, torpedoes and regular shields only reinforce the Na'jigat rather than weakening it. The only help that appears to be effective, comes from a species called the Gallifreyans, and two of our officers that they have adopted as agents, being captain Taurik and ambassador Vurak. We have reason to believe that the next target of the Na'jigat is Avalon Station itself, and therefore we have decided to refortify ourselves as much as possible, and I can use all the help I can get."

[Ali'aln Tulak]

Sir. I will gladly stay with Starfleet and take the positions of Chief Medical & Chief Counselor. I will report in immediately.

[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."

[Paris Love]

"I trust you choice is adequate. You know the station far better than I do."

*steps into the restaurant as the turbo lift opens*

OFF: continue in KR.

[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."

[Vorak]

"We may not have the time to wait for reinforcements any more. It would also mean giving up our advantage of surprise, especially if the Loxians find a way to monitor our subspace communications, or break their security codes."

[Paris Love]

*Love enters carrying several PADD's; setting them down on the desk, she takes a seat and begins transferring the data from the padds to the main console. She's interupted several times through this process by people calling. She schedules many meetings for him after he is to return to the station. Hours pass as she continues to work. She completes filing the data and exits the office, locking it behind her and slowly walking to the turbo lift.*

"Quarter Levels, Please."

*She exits the turbo lift to her room, and almost immediately collapses onto her bed.*

[Hedford]

*At that moment a chime could be heared from outside the room. Heford had finally arrived and hoped he wasn't too late*

"Why do I always arrive late on these occasions?" *he whispered to himself*
