Cmdr JFarrington

=/\= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #619, STARDATE 51007.26 =/\= The Manticore is running away from what used to be the Arcturan shipyards. Three of the five yards were completely destroyed and the remaining two were very heavily damaged. This should send a clear message to the Arcturans and also hamper their war effort. Manticore is running erratically through enemy territory, with no long range sensors, no working cloak and severely depleted shields. This is why the ship did not head straight back to Federation space. Our goal is to avoid enemy contact and find our way safely home to report our findings and get new orders for the war.

And some of us like to see our name in lights :P

Since there has been some discussion already, I am opening this thread for posts. The previous has been moved from Manticore's crew log folder. For those of you who do not know, the latest Manticore Log, Shades of Black, is a joint log by 12 of the Manticore's crew, its length coming close to that of a short story. With expert editing such logs are possible on a ship, but they are not easily accomplished. We used Google Documents, but other ships have their own methods. Feel free to read and post comments.

What he said! Hope your Birthday was happy, Dac! And wishes for many more!

Manticore Mission Update for July 12, 2010 Upon arrival at the Arcturan shipyard, Manticore finds not one, but five structures in the shipyard complex and twenty starships docked, none of which looks very spaceworthy. Despite the incongruity and ensuing questions, the overwhelming memory of Arcturus attacking the Federation science facility steels the crew. We are poised to attack with two fighters - Wyvern and Griffin - deployed under cloak.

Yep. You got it. Just checked out the flyers in the Shore Leave packet ('course I didn't open them until today), and they have one from WashingtonShakespeare.org. George Takei and Marc Okrand are doing a one night show on Sept 25th in Rosslyn, VA. "Come see great scenes from Shakespeare performed both in English with an earthly aesthetic and in Klingon with, well more hitting." Sounds interesting. Anyone interested?

The flyer didn't say. However, this comes from www.washingtonshakespeare.org:

And I'll tell you what! For a new fan who is just this year learning about the game, nothing beats watching the World Cup while sitting *right* next to (and I do mean next to) Katee Sackhoff, Edward James Olmos, and Dominic Keating in the Marriott - along with a few other STSF GMs! As one kitteh would say, Wooo....!! Viva Espana!!

This is not an official STSF function. Time to prepare for Shore Leave East, held during the Hunt Valley Convention from July 9-11. This is an informal gathering of friends who like to get together once a year for chat and camaraderie. So far I plan to attend and I wonder how many others will try to make it. The Hunt Valley Convention is laid-back, relaxing, probably less expensive than most and the largest fan-run convention. Along with the normal lineup of stars there are workshops, art exhibits, and other activities to occupy your free time over the weekend. We at STSF usually hang out and talk, occasionally taking in one or two of the star presentations and always dancing the night away at 10 Forward on Saturday night. Stars in the lineup this year (so far) are Edward James Olmos, Katee Sakhoff, Torri Higginson, Kevin Sorbo (slated last year but had to cancel at the last minute), Dominic Keating and Bill Dow. More information and updates can be found at www.shore-leave.com.

Manticore Mission Update for June 28, 2010 With news of the destruction of Federation geological station GS-27 by Arcturan warships and the subsequent loss of 270 men, women, and children, Manticore’s crew is more ready than ever to mount an attack on the Arcturan shipyard. Departments reviewed emergency procedures and ran drills, those in charge of weapons ran them through simulations, and, in general, all personnel are familiarizing themselves with the new configurations throughout the ship, especially our newest crewman, Ensign Alex Ramirez. TBS was 9 hours. It is now 0700 on the day of the attack.

I'll be visiting Vixis/ T'Sara Wednesday in Baltimore. Gonna try to snag her for at least Thursday evening - woo...

Yes, a very Happy Canada Day to you all a-way up there!

The admiral's announcement jerked Jami mercilessly from sympathy to resolve. Activating red alert, she shifted her focus, the reality of war coming upon her in full force. Her peripheral vision caught Atragon exiting his ready room, but she didn't have to turn to discern his mood. His tone of voice on the comm, his purposeful stride, and his heavy, almost growling breaths were all she needed. But nature had another plan. For the first time in several months, her embryonic telepathy transferred a jolt of deep-seated rage that washed through her from his direction. God help us, she thought. We're going to need it.

Collateral Damage Whether Arcturus had assassinated Consul General Yendis to start a war was immaterial. The deed was done, Arcturus was building ships of war, and the Federation's answer was an immediate, unequivocal assault on its closest shipyard by one of the Federation's most formidable, most destructive ships of the line. The USS Manticore, the Federation's premiere Covert Operations vessel was a mere 24 hours away, ready to erase every trace, even the very memory of the Arcturan shipyard and its population. "Yes, Dr. Farrington. We do call it Black Ops, but think of it more as 'Covert' Ops." V. Admiral Sarachek had put the full party-line spin on Manticore's primary mission years ago when he had recruited Jami. She remembered his sincere tone, his commanding presence, and even the tenderness of his touch when he guided her gently to gaze out the viewport at the nearly-completed masterpiece - the first of its kind. "The ship and its crew will be under the Consul General - answerable to no one else. When she's complete, she'll be a ship of war keeping the peace, saving countless worlds from predatory beings, ridding the quadrant of the dregs of society." "And its commanding officer?" "Captain Atragon-9. I believe you know him." His smile was genuine and more than a bit suggestive. "I've met him, yes." "He asked for you personally." Which she knew. "And you're imminently qualified for the position. Your medical degrees, your research in deep space medicine, your work.... " She'd already stopped listening to his recruiting spiel in favor of watching worker drones swarm over the ship. She had to admit, it was beautiful - its sleek lines masking both size and power, its hull glimmering in the light of the bay. She had every confidence in Atragon as a commanding officer... and she longed to be back in deep space. Eleven years later Dr. Jami Farrington found herself a commander and the ship's second officer in charge of Operations. Yet, the memories remained fresh in her mind, especially her astonishment at the number of civilians in the shipyard when Manticore was being built. Every manufacturing center had its civilian population, and it was especially true of shipyards. The demands of working on a remote station, no matter what the purpose, dictated the presence of families and civilian support for them. War machine or not, the Arcturan shipyard had to have a sizable civilian population. And now this ship of war to keep the peace was about to take out not only the ships and yard, but its civilian population. At exactly fifteen minutes past eight in the morning on August 6, 1945, Japanese time, at the moment when the atomic bomb flashed above Hiroshima, Miss Toshiko Sasaki, a clerk in the personnel department of the East Asia Tin Works, had just sat down at her place in the plant office and was turning her head to speak to the girl at the next desk. ~Hiroshima, John Hersey, The New Yorker Magazine, August 31, 1946.
