21:00 | Cdr_Hart | ::AA:: |
21:00 | High_Bakrat | ::aa:: |
21:00 | Lt_Banning | ::@@:: |
21:01 | CaptMcCloud | Good evening, Crew. Good to see you all. |
21:01 | ... | Have you all read the brief and do we have any questions? |
21:01 | Cdr_Hart | Read, and no questions, Skipper. |
21:01 | High_Bakrat | Yes and no, Sir. |
21:02 | Lt_Banning | y/n, Sir. |
21:02 | CaptMcCloud | Okay then, let's... |
21:02 | ... | =/\= BEGIN SIM =/\= |
21:03 | NOTE: Names in GREEN |
21:03 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ F-CO ] Welcome aboard, High Bakrat. |
21:03 | Cdr_Hart | A-xO > :: moves to his usual seat and waits to sit down:: |
21:04 | High_Bakrat | F-CO >[ CO ] Forget any formalties, McCloud. Just call me Bakrat. |
21:04 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::raises brows, looking at Bakrat:: |
21:05 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ F-CO ] Very, bakrat. :: indicates one of the chairs:: Please, have a seat. Feel free to partake. :: motions to the refreshments on the table:: |
21:07 | High_Bakrat | F-CO > :: takes a seat at the end of the table, foregoes any refreshments:: |
21:08 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: sits and gets himself a cup of coffee:: |
21:09 | High_Bakrat | F-CO >[ CO ] I'll come right to things here, McCloud. Do you plan to take on the non-interference stance your predecessors have done in this area? |
21:09 | EnsNguyen: | CNS > :: sips the tea he made and watches Bakrat:: |
21:10 | *** Lt_Shadow joined #usseagle |
21:10 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ F-CO ] That is, and always will be, Starfleet's position. |
21:10 | ... | (Welcome, Dr. Shadow) |
21:11 | Lt_Shadow | (Sorry I'm late but I've been having the perfect storm of catastrophies today) |
21:11 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: raises brows and takes a sip of his coffee:: |
21:12 | CaptMcCloud | (You definitely have to HATE when that happens) |
21:12 | Lt_Shadow | (Yeah especially when the joystick on the power wheelchair goes out) |
21:13 | High_Bakrat | F-CO >[ CO ] ::nods:: Then the empire's new emperor hasn't cut any deal with you. I am well aware of the state dinner. |
21:15 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ F-CO ] :: slight frown:: There has been no deals cut. We are here for one purpose, to keep the shipping lane open and shipping traffic safe. |
21:16 | =/\=ACTION: Shadow detects no sense of deception coming from Bakrat, and his body language says pretty much the same thing. =/\= |
21:16 | High_Bakrat | F-CO CO And you can't be... bought off? |
21:18 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>:: relays almost imperceptibly the info he's getting to the CO by some very small but telling hand gestures in the other's hand;; |
21:18 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ F-CO ] :: furrows brows:: Has there been any indication that ANY Starfleet ship could be ... bought off? |
21:18 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: an almost imperceptible nod to Shadow:: |
21:19 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>;; gently squeezes the CO's hand in acknowledgement;; |
21:20 | High_Bakrat | F-CO >[ A-XO ] :: offers a smirk:: One could always hope, Commander Hart. |
21:20 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ F-CO ] If it was your intention to try and buy support from us, Bakrat, I am sorry to disappoint you. |
21:22 | High_Bakrat | F-CO >[ CO ] Just like Fyrstk, eh? Of course if you're not going to support me, I can guess you won't support Runiria either. |
21:24 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ F-CO ] TO compare me to Admiral Fyrstk, I will take that as a compliment. And no, we do not take sides in local disputes. Not unless either side is a member of the Federation. |
21:25 | High_Bakrat | F-CO >[ CO ] And the criteria to become a member... Any changes there over the years? |
21:26 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ F-CO ] If you mean have we become more lenient, no. Federation standards are just the same as the last time the Eagle was in this area. |
21:28 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ F-CO ] Is this a hint that things could be ... heating up between you and the Spaculaans? |
21:28 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: is very interested in this answer:: |
21:30 | High_Bakrat | F-CO >[ A-XO ] :: another smirk:: There is ALWAYS a possibility of that happening, Commander. Especially if Runiria continues his mother's quest to regain this whole area for their... "empire." |
21:33 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>::Smiles sadly;; |
21:33 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ F-CO ] You can be certain we would not be interfering or assisting in any such bids. |
21:37 | High_Bakrat | F-CO >[ CO ] :: smiles:: That is good to hear. :: gives a glance around the room:: This ship, it is a bit larger that the other Eagle. |
21:38 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ F-CO ] Just a bit. |
21:45 | High_Bakrat | (sorry, on the phone) |
21:46 | CaptMcCloud | (no problem) |
21:48 | High_Bakrat | F-CO >[ CO ] And their new ship? I hear it is ready for launch. |
21:48 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ F-CO ] :: smiles:: I also would not give away anything I was told in confidence, Bakrat. |
21:49 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: smirks slightly:: |
21:50 | High_Bakrat | F-CO >[ CO ] No, of course. You are indeed a man of principle:: Lets off some disappointing emotions, but does not show it:: |
21:51 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ F-CO ] :: genuine smile:: I would like to think so. |
21:52 | High_Bakrat | F-CO >[ CO ] So, if I told you, in confidence of course, that I was planning on an attack on one of the new Spaculaan coloniews, you wouldn't go and tell Runiria?... Just speculating here. |
21:52 | EnsNguyen: | CNS > :: narrows his eyes at the man:: |
21:53 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: studies Bakrat to see if the man is actually going to attack a colony.:: |
21:54 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>;; checks to the Veracity of the speculation;; |
21:55 | =/\=ACTION: Shadow gets conflicting readings from Bakrat, almost as if the man knows Shadow can read him. =/\= |
21:56 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>:: relays the readings to the CO;; |
21:56 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ F-CO ] Again, it is not our place to interfere. We might, however, be keeping a close watch on the colonies to see if we can render aid... medically-wise to the innocent lives that would be put in danger. |
21:58 | High_Bakrat | F-CO >[ CO ] :: offers a sly smile:: Of course. The Federation way. Help the helpless. |
21:59 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ F-CO ] That, of course would mean, we would be using whatever defense were available to us on this ship to make certain we could render that aid. |
21:59 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>[CO] if it comes to it, I have the makings for a refugee village and all ready to be beamed down from Cargo bay three including a MASH unit |
22:00 | High_Bakrat | F-CO > :: considers Hart's words, then nods. Looks to McCloud:: [ CO ] Well, that would pretty much be all that I wanted to hear, Captain. :: rises:: |
22:00 | CaptMcCloud | =/\= Pause Sim =/\= |
22:00 | Lt_Shadow | ;;pause;; |
22:00 | Cdr_Hart | ::AA:: |
22:01 | High_Bakrat | ::aa:: |
22:01 | Lt_Shadow | ;;AA:: |
22:01 | Lt_Banning | ::@@:: |
22:01 | *** Lt_Shadow quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) |
22:02 | CaptMcCloud | Well, that went well, even if we did have a bit of a pause. :: smiles:: |
22:02 | ... | Maybe we can get some more accomplished during the week. |
22:02 | .. | Any questions to this point? |
22:02 | Cdr_Hart | None, Sir. |
22:02 | High_Bakrat | No, Captain. |
22:03 | Lt_Banning | None, Captain. |
22:03 | CaptMcCloud | Okay then. Lt. Andrews, thank you for being Bakrat this week. Dismissed. |
