=/\= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #614, STARDATE 51006.21 =/\= The Manticore has been retrofit to make it ready to be the first strike in the war against Arcturus.

Eva Jaz -> ::in sickbay downing more coffee than usual :: McFly -> ::looking at a wall:: Mitar Precip -> Target is the Arcturian (misp!!) shipyards...here. Note the blurred image..we hope to get a better fix on it when we move in under cloak. Kansas Kenickie -> ::taps console:: aye sir Turris Morran -> :;in the main science lab, looking over a screen.

Admiral Atragon-9 -> Yellow Alert LtCdrFaldek -> Mini-photon torpedoes aren’t going to have that much effect on a shipyard... perhaps we should focus on any defensive vessels or planetary based defenses near the shipyard? Mitar Precip -> The Admiral believes the fighters are essential to the operation. Strike payload... Hilee -> ::Ramps up the additional power and allocates systems as needed.:: Vilanne -> ::finishes in the supply room with the nurses, after running more drills with them, comes out to see the status of the other alert preparedness drills that the rest of the team was doing:: Mitar Precip -> ::looks at both officers after their questions:: LtCdrFaldek -> ::shakes his head:: Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::seeing the alert lights go up, puffs out a slow sigh:: Here we go...

And that is....very vulnerable. Eva Jaz -> ::puts her cup down seeing the alert :: T'Prise -> :: Stares at Morran for a moment, obviously rethinking what she was about to say. :: Nothing, continue your work please. :: Turns to Jaxa :: Ensign?

Good work. McFly -> ::looks at faldek:: remind me to haunt him when I die Vilanne -> ::steps back to let him out:: Our drills were top notch, we set up temporary triage in one of the surgical suites, the staff is very prepared for this war.

Mitar Precip -> Commander McFly...We are at War.....when we are told to fight we fight. Understood. Eva Jaz -> Dr Josh> :: sitting in a corner , rereading the same line on his PADD once again still not understanding it , puts it down than sighs :: T'Prise -> :: Nods. :: Very well. Firsthand experience is the best, however, given our situation it would not be rational to send you without prior experience. I will report for bridge duty and you will as well.

The Command Staff is pleased to Present The Meritorious Achievement Award for Exceptional Logs to T'Prise for Borderline Admiral Atragon for It was a dark and stormy night.

Meritorious Achievement Award Observe, Assess, Destroy A joint log by Admiral Atragon and Jami Farrington Keb was right. To cope with her emotional turmoil, Jami's body had tensed, her sentences came in rapid-fire bursts, every word wrapped in judgment with no room for discussion. Her problem? "Observe, assess, report" had instantly transformed into "observe, assess, destroy." Why the hell were they going to destroy - without provocation, without warning, without thorough examination of the evidence - the Arcturian shipyard? The consequences of such a monstrous act, even if Starfleet's intel was totally correct, were beyond imaginable. And to carry out such a sentence with only a cursory review of whatever evidence they would gather...? Atragon entered their quarters and hardly noticed Jami's distracted state as he launched into his own issues as soon as the door swooshed closed. "Precip is going to be a problem. I appreciate getting input from my commanders, but this is war, and in war we attack - or we die. It's what Black Ops does! It has been this way for centuries and it's not changing now. Black Ops is the dirty end of any pointed stick in a conflict. We're the ones that NO ONE wants to admit to knowing or directing. Yet, no war has ever been won without us and everyone knows it!" He paused, realizing his train was off the tracks. "Right, where was I... Yeah, Mitar! He is pushing back too much on trying to protect his people while jeopardizing the mission. Security is where we will take our heaviest casualties and there is nothing we can do to stop that in war - if we want to prevail. "This crew has never been to war, at least not on Manticore. I suppose this will be a test of everyone's mettle and we have to come together, now more than at any other time. We have to be focused on a common goal, we have to be able to utterly trust each other, we have to go beyond just being on the same crew. I can't run into a lot of second guessing over this mission. We have an enemy that must be defeated and the sooner that happens, the sooner the conflict can end. We will lose men and materiel, but if we can bring forth a decisive, crushing blow, then we can walk away sooner. The shorter the war, the fewer people have to die... but people will Have To Die!" He finally stopped long enough to look at Jami's face and really See it. Jami had paused mid-stride to stare at the man she thought she knew. From his tone, his determination, his apparent complete resolve to attack and destroy, she half wondered if she'd totally misjudged him all these years. On the other hand, it almost sounded as though he were trying to talk himself into it. But his words... A test of mettle... we must prevail... utter trust... we will lose men... people have to die.... Does he know what he sounds like? "Yamamoto," she said simply. His eyes unfocused for just a moment before he recognized the name and the reference. Jami continued, her words heavy, weighed down with the thought of so many - both on Manticore and in the shipyard - going about their business, having dinner with friends, enjoying their families, standing their posts... who would be gone in a few hours. Suddenly. Unknowingly. Dead. "Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, before he led the attack on Pearl Harbor, knew it was a grave mistake. And afterwards? Afterwards he knew he had awakened a sleeping giant." "Come on! The Arcturans are no sleep...." Atragon attempted to break in, but only got half a sentence into the air before Jami's feelings started tumbling out in rapid-fire statements. "Listen to yourself, Atragon. And before you... before we do this... put the war aside, put the lives that will be lost aside, put everything aside and think carefully of the circumstances that surround this... this charade. Why did they choose Manticore? And why did they choose to send us alone? And why Arcturus, a previously disjointed aggregate of warring factions who suddenly become a major power strong enough to take on the Federation? Forget for one minute the unlikeliness of the entire situation and just think about what we're doing. "Atragon, the Federation may be waking a sleeping giant, but the giant will not be Arcturus. The giant will be the fringe powers who have not yet cemented their ties with the Federation, who will join with Arcturus and gods know what other major powers... all allied against us. You talk about war?" Her tone changed to a mix of horror and despair. "The war that would follow is... unimaginable, Atragon. Unimaginable." Atragon stared at her with a steely gaze, his normal joking response nowhere to be found. "Jami, we're at war, make no mistake about that. This is different than any mission we have ever faced. This isn't a short, well-defined, containable event. War is long, ill-defined, messy, uncontrollable and Terrible. "Do not think, for one minute, that I am finding any enjoyment in what I am leading us into. Do not think that I have any choice in what I am leading us into. We have been attacked, just as clearly as if a gunman came onto the Bridge and started killing our comrades. The Federation is at war! They have already voted on it, but have waited on announcing until we have completed our mission, in order to give us the best chance to collect data... and send a message. We are part of the Federation military and, as such, we must follow our orders." He paused to bring emphasis to something welling up inside him that he must express. "The Federation is a peace-keeping armada, but what is the definition of armada? A fleet of warships. We are scientists and doctors and engineers and explorers, but first and foremost, we are Warroirs. Everyone on this ship signed up knowing there could be combat some day and, when called into battle, they will go. Do I want to see ANYONE die? Of course not. And the best way I know to keep people alive is to have the entire crew in the right mindset to get the job done properly, quickly and safely - in that order. "Just as I am worried about Mitar, don't make me worry about you, too. If you need time to come to grips with our war footing, take that time, privately and quickly. In less than two hours we enter enemy territory; in less than a day we will engage enemy targets and enemy forces. Not ships, not people, not Arcturans, ENEMIES! That is the only way to pull us together into a fighting force that won't be second-guessing our sense of morality at critical moment. This is the time when we exploit the Chain of Command, we order the crew to do their duty, no questions asked - we can't show that we have any questions either." He stopped, panting with exertion, the weight of command - especially on this mission - evident in his every word, his every move. He was right. She was right. How could two people be right and everything be so wrong? "I hate it," she said finally, with an air of resignation. "I hate it all. But that's for in here, not out there." She waved a hand, indicating the area outside their quarters. "In here, you're my husband. Out there, I'll support you. Fully. I hope you know that." Atragon smiled at his wife and let his MacArthur facade drop for just a moment. "Yes, I know you will support me, because you love me, because you love the crew and because you love the Federation - and I won't quibble about the ranking of those three, either." He takes one deep calming breath and the hardness creeps back into his face. "It's time for me to get out of our quarters and make sure all is ready for battle. I have talked the talk, now I must walk the walk. May the gods have mercy on us all."

Hello rosetto, Though I appreciate your thoughts on the Tuesday academy and how it helped you graduate, listing "mentors" for a thesis generally implies that they collaborated in its writing. I would like it to be clear that there was no such collaboration on my part. That having been said, enjoy your time on Qob - a good ship, a good crew.

Whoa, Merina! You share a birthday with the young hunky Spock? ::deadout faint:: Enjoy!

I belonged to a Starfleet chapter for a while. The one I belonged to was a community service organization with an interest in Star Trek. I did get to meet a lot of neat people when we hosted cons, but as far as role playing - that was beyond them. I prefer OLRP for the simple fact that I know we're all nerds here (but I should speak for myself, I guess) and I enjoy writing more than I enjoy painting Christmas ornaments. And I can take STSF wherever I go in the world. ::hugs laptop::

As far as I know the web-cast came from a private server. How to set it up is way beyond me.

Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::looks at his desk witha disgusted look on his face and stands up:: MC_Escher -> ...however, it activates a partially phased magentocentric coil, which creates huge pressure on all sides of the round, and then deactivates along the desired trajectory of the bullet.

I should, I suppose, be making an effort to get used to it. MC_Escher -> ::shakes head:: It's completely differnt. Our induction coils are for smooth launching and consistent performance. These ::he points to the barrel:: are for flashy style and the wow factor.

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Pulls his chair out and takes a seat ontop of his lap:: MC_Escher -> +A9+ Yes sir.

Come on, where are they? Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::joins them (wherever they are):: Vilanne -> ::feeling honored with this company:: LtCdrFaldek -> Of course sir. Shall I take the liberty to run tactical diagnostics on the fighter craft while we are being upgraded? Cmdr JFarrington -> ::sits in a convenient chair::: What's good on the menu?

Asteria Jaxa -> ::relieved knowing she's in a holodeck and not really in a astriod field:: good job MC_Escher -> ::pauses for a moment, and then nods:: I could use a drink. ::pulls up a spare chair:: Admiral...this cannon is really not a good idea Vilanne -> <<OoOO... is that a Starfleet Technique? Squozing the Commanders?>> LtCdrFaldek -> I have always believed never to underestimate an opponenet. precip -> ::turns to Faldek:: Yet...war can spiral out of control....it is best to be prepared...You are right.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ((night, crash)) Vilanne -> ::pipes in:: We got our organ replicator... that is definately cutting edge. LtCdrFaldek -> You are speaking of guerilla tactics. Vilanne -> ::has totally forgotten all the errors that it had:: Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::hearing the discussion of the cannon, gets somewhat quiet, taking in everything:: Admiral Atragon-9 -> <<LOL Vil>> Keb -> ::zips above three and under two:: precip -> I always wondered what human named a military tactic after an ape. Cmdr JFarrington -> ::leans back as their orders are served, then listens as she drinks, totally missing the Vilanne pun::: Admiral Atragon-9 -> So, since we can't return it for a refund, how do we make it safer? Vilanne -> <<That's illegal in some states, Keb>> MC_Escher -> ::allows himself a small nervous laugh:: I suppose. But the way that the new system is set up to propel the rounds so quickly... ::shows him the PADD with the schematics:: It creates a huge instablility right at the mouth of the barrel.

Cloak...Raid...Cloak. Next Raid...That's what I'd do in this odd war that has been thrust upon us. Keb -> ::glances at Jaxa:: How much larger? Cmdr JFarrington -> ::clears her throat and takes a sip to get it down::: Vilanne -> ::chewing on the first bite, listening to Escher, and grimaces the veal between her teeth with a thought of a chunk sized hull breach:: precip -> ::looks at PADD:: oh...different spelling...no wonder why I was confused. MC_Escher -> ::takes a deep breath:: I'm not sure if you know T'Prise's background with quantum slipstream tech, but, well...she has one. We had the idea of projecting a slipstream tunnel leading from the mouth of the barrel to the intended target. Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::sideways glance at Vil:: LtCdrFaldek -> Yes sir. I totally understand. Being an expert in recon/sabotage I completely understand these tactics. Asteria Jaxa -> ::winces at the view screen:: about 25.3 % Kansas Kenickie -> I don't think we want to get caught drinking in here...

Keb -> ::nods:: Drat. Well...this is what we came for. Ship's not moving quite right anyway...stupid modifications. Admiral Atragon-9 -> Hmmm, making iffy tech more stable by adding more iffy tech to it? Keb -> ::forces herself to refocus as another huge asteroid nearly strikes the hull:: Admiral Atragon-9 -> Sounds like a Manticore special precip -> Tell Me Faldek...I Highly doubt the assasination of the Federation Council General and who did it...has not been ....just set aside by other governments...who do you think would be interested in this ..."fight" we are going to have?

LtCdrFaldek -> However I would assume, the Breen, Cardassians, and Romulans would have the most interest. Klingons being our ally, I doubt they would have much interest, except for us asking them to help kill them. McFly -> trust me babe, with his cameras he's already seen your best side precip -> Why the Klingons haven't stepped up and offerred to join their allies in an utter route of the Arcturians is suprising.. Asteria Jaxa -> ::looks up from her death grib on the console:: Yes im okay precip -> Rout^ Cmdr JFarrington -> <Don't scare her off, Keb. We need her.> LtCdrFaldek -> Or the Klingons feel that the Arcturians are not worth their effort. Kansas Kenickie -> ::Smiles:: Lets get out of here and get lit MC_Escher -> Projecting a slipstream tunnel from a stationary object isn't that iffy, actually. And if it fails the round simply comes back into our phase earlier than expected. If the slipstream tunnel is there, however, and a round detonates prematurely... MC_Escher -> ...then it will be contained within the tunnel and not harm Manticore. Sovak -> ::begins going over upgrade reports:: LtCdrFaldek -> As for the Romulans they are mostly isolationist, so I doubt they would try to take advantage of anything. Keb -> ::grins:: Well, I'm not like my husband...the safeties are on--so we can't get hurt. Admiral Atragon-9 -> but if the ship is moving, is it still a stationary object? Cmdr JFarrington -> ::notes the operative word - stationary:::takes another canape, particularly enjoying those with fish::: Keb -> ::grimaces as she overcompensates the other way and gets hit from the other side:: McFly -> ::gets up and out the door, the bottle in one hand KK in the other:: LtCdrFaldek -> I would say the same for the Breen, and as for the Cardassians... well they have their hands full with their loss of Bajor. Vilanne -> ::doesn't understand everything being said, but enjoys hearing such intelligence around her:: precip -> Hmmm...not worth the effort. Yes...why would the Arcturians who would not stand a chance against a Federation onslaught...do such a thing...::sighs:: Whole things is spooky.

MC_Escher -> ::nods:: Because the slipstream tunnel is stationary relative to the cannon projecting it. That is opposed to a ship trying to project a slipstream tunnel as it moves through it, which is much, much more difficult. Keb -> ::giggles softly:: Shouldn't be an issue...he got grounded from the holodeck for a bit after he let some holoklingons knock him out. Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::nods and looks at his chrono:: Okay, can you do it in 3 days? Keb -> He's a smart guy, but he does some stupid stuff sometimes.

Kansas Kenickie -> nope LtCdrFaldek -> I do not know who would help them. But that is a logical thought path.

Thanks to the Medical and Science teams, there is now a cure to the molecular transformation "illness." Between radiation of the ship and using the transporter with a special biofilter, everyone who had been affected has been cured. The symptoms are gone and the affected inidividuals' molecular structure is just getting back to normal. The Carthage has been informed of our success and are putting the same cure into place. The science teams at Cold Station 9, however, were too far along the path of the illness to be cured, but any further spread has been controlled and contained.
