21:07 | LtShadow: | AMO>:: In Sickbay, writing out a report on the mental contact that he had at the last planet visited with the recommendation that the civilizations there be watched for future development in their spaceflight and mental communications. The report would be turned in to the Captain as soon as he was done;; |
21:08 | Ens_Hendri: | HELM >[ CO ] Two minutes to the Ualniac boarder, Captain. |
21:09 | CaptMcCloud: | CO >[ HELM ] Slow to impulse, Ensign. :: glances over to sciences:: |
21:09 | Ens_Hendri: | HELM >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: taps the helm console:: |
21:10 | Lt_Banning: | SCI >[ CO ] Sir, I am detecting several skirmishes going on within the empire. |
21:10 | LtShadow: | AMO>;; finishes the contact report and takes it up to the Captain for his records;; |
21:11 | Cdr_Hart: | A-XO >[ CO ] :: glances to Rayne:: An uprising? |
21:12 | CaptMcCloud: | CO >[ A-XO ] :: shrugs:: Could be. They've been very cryptic as to why they've recalled the ambassador. |
21:13 | CaptMcCloud: | Co >[ OPS ] Lt. Yang, send out a general hail to any Ualniac Imperial ship that we are at the border and would like passage to the capital. |
21:13 | Lt_Yang: | OPS >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: taps the console sending outt he hail:: |
21:14 | CaptMcCloud: | (Are you on the bridge already, Shadow?) |
21:15 | LtShadow: | (not yet , will in the next post) |
21:15 | CaptMcCloud: | (Okay, and you do realize it has been a couple weeks since that contact, right?) |
21:16 | Lt_Andrews: | TAC >[ CO ] Captain, I am detecting a Ualniac ship approaching the border. Its weapons are not hot. |
21:16 | LtShadow: | AMO>:: gets to the bridge and hands over the report to the Captain;; (yes I know but he was making sure that he had all the mental nuances of the contact in there) |
21:17 | LtShadow: | AMO>[CO] I'm sorry the report took so long sir but I was trying to get everything in there for you |
21:18 | CaptMcCloud: | CO > :: takes the PADD from Shadow and motions for him to have a seat in the CNS's seat:: |
21:18 | Cdr_Hart: | A-XO >[ NOIP ] I would hope they're not coming at us guns blazing. |
21:19 | LtShadow: | AMO>;;sits down where indicated;; |
21:20 | Lt_Yang: | OPS >[ CO ] They're hailing us, Captain. |
21:20 | CaptMcCloud: | CO > :: Looks up from the report:: [ OPS ] On screen. |
21:21 | Lt_Yang: | OPS > :: transfers the hail:: |
21:21 | LtShadow: | AMO>;; starts "listening in" mentally to the other ship and their people's minds;; |
21:23 | Cetar Hink: | @CO >+[ Eagle ]+ Eagle, this is Cretar Hink of the U.I.W Hong. What is your business in our space? |
21:23 | CaptMcCloud: | CO >+[ Hink ]+ Hello, Creatar. We are here to pick up the Federation ambassador. |
21:25 | Cetar Hink: | @CO >+[ Eagle ]+ :: his dark grey brows, over is light grey skin furrows. He turns and looks to one of his officers off-screen:: |
21:25 | Cdr_Hart: | A-XO >[ CO ] :: softly:: News to him? |
21:26 | =/\=ACTION: Shadow finds he cannot read the minds of the ualniac. =/\= |
21:27 | CaptMcCloud: | CO > :: nods in agreement to Hart's statement:: Apparently so. |
21:28 | LtShadow: | AMO>;;not able to pick up anything from them, ceases his efforts to try to read them;; |
21:29 | Cetar Hink: | @CO >+[ Eagle ]+ :: looks back to the screen, but definitely not pleased:: It is confirmed. You are to proceed directly to Ualniac Prime, and not interfere with anything along the way. You will also keep your velocity to Warp 2. |
21:30 | CaptMcCloud: | CO >+[ Hink ]+ :: raises brows:: Warp 2? It will take us nearly a week to reach your homeworld. |
21:31 | Cetar Hink: | @CO >+[ Eagle ]+ That is YOUR issue, not mine. You will follow the orders to the letter. |
21:32 | CaptMcCloud: | CO >+[ Hink ]+ Very well, Cretar. Eagle out. |
21:32 | Lt_Yang: | OPS > :: cuts the transmission link:: |
21:32 | Cdr_Hart: | A-XO >[ CO ] Warp 2? What's that about? |
21:33 | CaptMcCloud: | CO >[ A-XO ] Darned if I know. :: Looks to Shadow:: [AMO ] Were you able to read anything? |
21:34 | Lt_Banning: | SCI > :: still scanning the system:: |
21:35 | LtShadow: | AMO>[CO] No sir they are closed up tighter than a lid epoxied onto a jar |
21:35 | Lt_Yang: | OPS >[ CO ] Captain, I am receiving additional orders from the Hong. They don't want us doing any extensive scans save those needed for navigation. |
21:36 | Cdr_Hart: | A-XO >[ AMO ] You think they are null psi-sensitive, Doc? |
21:37 | LtShadow: | AMO>[A-XO] Unknown they might be or they might have screens to prevent being read |
21:37 | CaptMcCloud: | CO > :: sighs at Yang's report:: [ SCI ] Mr. Banning, shut down the sensor net. Keep all scans close range. |
21:38 | Cdr_Hart: | A-XO >[ AMO ] Do we have any bio-reports on them? |
21:38 | LtShadow: | AMO>[A-XO] no sir we don't |
21:39 | Lt_Banning: | SCI >[ CO ] :: reluctantly:: Aye, Sir. :: taps his console, shutting down the sensor net.:: |
21:40 | Cdr_Hart: | A-XO > :: frowns:: [ NOIP ] This is just plain weird. |
21:40 | LtShadow: | AMO> [A-XO] agreed sir |
21:41 | CaptMcCloud: | CO >[ HELM ] Proceed to Ualniac Prime... warp 2.
|
21:41 | Ens_Hendri: | HELM >[ CO ] :: sighs:: Aye, Sir. Snail's pace warp 2. :: taps the console;: |
21:41 | CaptMcCloud: | CO > :: suppresses the chuckle:: |
21:43 | Cdr_Hart: | A-XO >[ CO ] Almost a week in their space, and ... what was that about not interfering? He should know us better than that by now. |
21:44 | CaptMcCloud: | CO >[ A-XO ] :: nods:: I agree. :: thinks a moment then looks to Yang:: [OPS ] Lieutenant. Scan the local frequencies, see if we can pick up any broadcasts. |
21:45 | Lt_Yang: | OPS >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: starts scanning through local frequencies:: |
21:45 | CaptMcCloud: | CO >[ AMO ] You get any... impressions just from the conversation, Doc? |
21:46 | Lt_Banning: | SCI > :: turns and listens now that he cannot scan beyond navigational ranges:: |
21:48 | Lt_Yang: | OPS >[ CO ] Sir! I do believe I have one, audio only. |
21:48 | LtShadow: | AMO>[CO] either they are incredibly confident or they are incredibly insecure and with them calling the terms like that, I'd think the latter. They seem to know something of our capabilities and want the time to figure out more of them and just how far they can try to push us. |
21:50 | CaptMcCloud: | CO > :: nods for Yang to put it on speakers:: |
21:50 | Cdr_Hart: | A-XO >[ CO/AMO ] More liek extremely paranoid. |
21:51 | LtShadow: | AMO>[A-XO] that too sir |
21:52 | Broadcaster: | @ VOICE >"Imperial forces were forced away from Dcemph, yesterday. The rebel ships proved to much for them. Word from the capitol is that the Federation ambassadoe is being recalled... |
21:53 | ...: | >"... Official state broadcasts claim the Federation is being thwon out of Ualniac Imperial Space because they have encouraged the rebels and supplied them with the weapons they have been using." |
21:54 | ...: | "this broadcas..." :: Suddenly the broadcast is cut off and the Ualniac Imperial anthem starts playing:: |
21:55 | LtShadow: | AMO>[NOIP] Whiskey Tango Foxtrot??? What in the fire rings of Finagle are they talking about? |
21:59 | Cdr_Hart: | A-XO > :: laughs at the doc's reaction:: [ AMO ] Is this your first experiences with this type of government, Doc? |
21:59 | CaptMcCloud: | CO > :: Nods in agreement with Hart's words:: |
21:59 | Lt_Banning: | SCI > :: laughs at Shadow's statement too:: |
22:00 | LtShadow: | AMO>[A-XO] No but the sheer idiocy of their accusations is beyond staggering |
22:01 | CaptMcCloud: | Co >[ AMO ] :: frowns:: Let's hope it is indeed idiocy. |

22:01 | Lt_Banning: | ::AA:: |
22:02 | CaptMcCloud: | Very nice. |
22:02 | ...: | We will have almost a week pass between sims. That will give us the time to get to Uaniac Prime. |
22:03 | ...: | Hopefully, we will not be drawn into anything along the way. |
22:03 | ...: | Any questions? |
22:03 | LtShadow: | none from me sir |
22:03 | Cdr_Hart: | Nopw. All good here. |
