21:00 | CmdrDutcher | Crew is at attention, Sir! ::AA:: |
21:01 | CaptMcCloud | Thank you, Commander. |
21:01 | ... | Good evening, Crew. Good to see you, and our Eaglescoutguest, and I hope you have had a good week. |
21:02 | .. | Have you read the brief, and do we have any questions? |
21:02 | Cdr_Hart | Brief read, no questions, Skipper. |
21:02 | Lt_Andrews | Yes, and no, Sir. |
21:02 | CmdrDutcher | Read and No |
21:02 | Lt_Banning | Y/n, Sir. |
21:02 | LtAmeliaMoore | Yes and No, Sir. |
21:03 | CaptMcCloud | Excellent. Let's... |
21:03 | ... | =/\= BEGIN SIM =/\= |
21:03 | NOTE: Character names, appearing in GREEN, indicate NPCs. |
21:04 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: sitting in the command chair:: |
21:04 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > :: on the bridge, standing alongside the tactical station:: |
21:04 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: at his station on the bridge:: |
21:05 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::Sitting in her seat:: |
21:05 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse > ::in sickbay:: |
21:05 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: at Science, on the bridge, watching the incoming fleet:: |
21:06 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] ::leans forward to look over to science:: What's the count, Troy? |
21:08 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] I count twelve of the saucer ships, and twelve Klurain ships, on the border, with three more on the way in. |
21:09 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::nods and looks to the XO:: |
21:10 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] Not sure which we should be concerned about. Or if we should just get out of dodge. so -to speak |
21:11 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] It is not my intention to get involved in this, at all. It could be a good opportunity to see how the Klurain fight. |
21:11 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > :: breathes a silent breath of relief:: |
21:11 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: just gives Hart a look and a slight nod:: |
21:12 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] This would provide an ecxellent opportunity |
21:12 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] I thought so. :: looks to OPS:: Commander Wren, any comms chatter, we can hear? |
21:13 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse> ::doing some 'housekeeping' in sick bay. |
21:13 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] Not yet, Sir. I know the Klurain ships are communicating with one another, but it is encrypted. Trying to break the code now. |
21:14 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS ] ::nods:: Keep at it. Nice work, too. |
21:15 | DrResork | EMH >[ Nurse ] :: comes out of the CMO's office:: Nice work, earlier, Amelia. |
21:16 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ EMH ] ::Smiles:: Thank you, Doctor Resork. |
21:16 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] Captain, the lead Klurain ship just sent out a hail to the incoming fleet. It is not encrypted. |
21:17 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS ] Put it onscreen. |
21:18 | DrResork | EMH >[ Nurse ] How did you feel, handling it? |
21:19 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ EMH ] a little nervous, maybe. But honestly just did what was needed. |
21:19 | =/\=ACTION: The main screen switches from the split screen of the two fleets, to the image of the Klurain commander. He's staring, hard, at his own screen. =/\= |
21:21 | Klurain | @ K-CO >+[ incoming fleet ]+ I say again, Ponquer fleet. Cease your advancement toward Klurain space. Respond! |
21:21 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] there is something you don't usually see on coms... |
21:21 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] Well, at least they *know* who is coming for dinner. |
21:22 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] ::nods:: They do have the homecout advantage on that. |
21:22 | ... | home court |
21:22 | DrResork | EMH >[ Nurse ] :: nods:: I was watching, the whole time. Your diagnosis was spot on, and your recommendations for treatment. |
21:23 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI/TAC ] Troy, or Mr. Andrews? Are the Ponquer ships close enough for a tactical analysis, yet? |
21:24 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ EMH ] there is still so much to learn. |
21:25 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CO ] They are, Sir. The Klurain, and Ponquer, seem to be on par with each other in strengths. I think the Ponquer ships might be more maneuverable. |
21:25 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] I concur, Sir. |
21:26 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::just nods and looks at the images on the screen:: |
21:26 | DrResork | EMH >[ Nurse ] Oh, yes there is. That is why medical school is as long as it is, and internships are as long, and tedious, as they are. |
21:27 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ CO ] I would agree on the maneuverability of the Ponquer ships, Captain. |
21:30 | LtAmeliaMoore | NURSE >[ EMH ] It is a long time, and I knew there was a big need for medical crew but I also wanted to get out where the need was the highest |
21:30 | =/\=ACTION: The screen, suddenly, splits, to two images. The second is of a Vulcanoid male, wearing a uniform that closely resembled that of the Romulans. =/\= |
21:31 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] Another off shoot of Vulcans? Or a segment of the Romulans? |
21:32 | Ponquer | @@ P-CO >+[ K-CO ]+ You Klurain skrat should know better than that by now. You must learn the Ponquer Empire is not to be trifled with. You will pay for your last invasion. |
21:33 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] Are we looking at some old holo-vids, or something? Why does this look like a Klingon/Romulan battle about to happen? |
21:34 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] The similarities are disturbing. |
21:34 | Klurain | @ K-CO >+[ P-CO ]+ What invasion. We have not been to your territory, for decons. |
21:38 | Ponquer | @@ P-CO >+[ K-CO ]+ Do not lie. It will do you no good. We have it recorded, and it is unmistakable. Your skrat-boxes are as distinct as they are weak. Your attack on an unarmed colony will not go unpunished. |
21:38 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] :: gives a slight nod:: From what we know of the Klurain, that fits. |
21:40 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ CO ] They were going to do that to that pre-warp civilization. |
21:41 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] ::nods as well:: Hard to not believe it. |
21:42 | Klurain | @ K-CO >+[ P-CO ]+ I do not recall any invasion, by *any* of our fleet, but that will change, once we send you all back to your maker. |
21:44 | *** CmdrDutcher quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) |
21:44 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ NOIP ] At least the Ponquer don't *seem* to have cloaking technology. Or the Klurain, for that fact. |
21:44 | *** CmdrDutcher joined #usseagle |
21:45 | CaptMcCloud | (Oops... Oh, there she is. Welcome back) |
21:45 | *** CmdrDutcher quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) |
21:45 | CaptMcCloud | (Or not) |
21:46 | Cdr_Hart | ( She is, definitely, not having a banner day.) |
21:46 | *** CmdrDutcher joined #usseagle |
21:46 | Lt_Andrews | (w/B, Commander) |
21:47 | CmdrDutcher | ( SO Not my day today) |
21:47 | CaptMcCloud | (That is what Hart just said) |
21:48 | =/\=ACTION: The screen returns to just the image of the Klurain commander, as the Ponquer commander cuts the channel. =/\= |
21:49 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] This might sound strange, but what if it *wasn't* the Klurain that attacked them? |
21:50 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ SCI ] I don't know how that could be proven... At least before a lot of blood gets shed. |
21:51 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS ] In all the data we collected from that Klurain warship, is there any references to any kind of invasion to Ponquer space? |
21:52 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] It could take a little time to find out, Sir, but I'll start the search. |
21:53 | *** CmdrDutcher quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) |
21:53 | *** LtAmeliaMoore quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) |
21:53 | Lt_Andrews | (Dang, now Amelia slips out) |
21:54 | CaptMcCloud | (She is definitely having issues, tonight) |
21:54 | ... | CO >[ OPS ] ::nods:: Start the search. |
21:55 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ CO ] Umm... What are we going to do if we find out they did invade the Ponquer Empire? |
21:55 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ NOIP ] Or... Didn't? |
21:56 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ CENG/TAC ] :: gives a shrug:: Send an anonymous tip to the other side? |
21:57 | Cdr_Hart | | CENG >[ SCI ] How long before they are within weapons range of each other? |
21:57 | *** CmdrDutcher joined #usseagle |
21:57 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CENG ] A half hour, at the most. |
21:58 | CaptMcCloud | (W/B, again) |
21:58 | CmdrDutcher | (ugh, Thank you. ) |
21:59 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ ALL ] Let's take that half hour to find out as much as we can about both Sides. |
21:59 | CaptMcCloud | =/\= Pause Sim =/\= |
21:59 | CmdrDutcher | ::Pause:: |
21:59 | Cdr_Hart | ::AA:: |
21:59 | Lt_Andrews | ::aa:: |
21:59 | Lt_Banning | ::@@:: |
21:59 | CmdrDutcher | (Pause for the Nurse as well) |
22:00 | CmdrDutcher | (Sorry the computer and the dogs were not being cooperative) |
22:01 | CaptMcCloud | I figured this would be as good a place to stop as anywhere. We will have that half hour pass between sims. At the start of next sim, we will see if there is any good information, to throw at either side of that fight, and we will have to do it so they don't, actually, see us. Do we have any questions? |
22:01 | Cdr_Hart | None here, Skipper. |
22:01 | Lt_Andrews | No, Captain. |
22:02 | Lt_Banning | No questions, Sir. |
22:02 | CmdrDutcher | No Sir |
22:05 | CaptMcCloud | Very good. I hope you all have a good week. *Please* take care of yourselves... :: gives a pointed look to his XO:: ... and remember thoughts/prayers, for those in need. |
