Yo, Hansy, No photo showy uppy ;)

As noted earlier, the Mt. St. Helens eruption, would be dwarfed if the Yellowstone Caldera we're to erupt again. Talk about VA all over the place. Scientests feel that if a SuperVolcano were to erupt it could put then entire globe under slight darkness from Volcanic Ash. Interestingly, one theory about the Dark Ages, is that they literally were darker. Scientests know that one of these so called SuperVolcanoes erupted in the earlly 1100's. The think that their could have been so much ash put into the atmosphere that it literally darkened the globe. Food for thought.

That would be correct, actually it had a small steam eruption just the other day, they are expecting a real lava eruption anytime soon. (It originally erupted in the early 1980's killing several people and doing millions of dollars in damages when half the side of the mountain when BOOOM causing lava and these wonderful things called Lahar's to sweep accross the landscape.) You know, the entire Pacific coast is like one big lava pit waiting to happen? For Example, Mt. Rainer, the picturesque backdrop to Seatle, could more or less wipe out the University of Washington's Campus should it ever erupt again. Yellowstone Caldera: Yellowstone National Park is more or less the reminants of an ancient Super Volcano that erupted with so much force it completly destroyed the mountain (Crater Lake is another example of a Caldera.) The Yellowstone Volcano had erupted once every 700,000 years or so. Last Erupting oooo a little under 700,000 years ago. Should it ever erupt again, it is estimated the entire Snake River system could be destroyed. Recent movements of steam pockets and irregular eruptions of the geysers of Yellowstone, indicate Volcanic activity. Mt. St. Helen's Remain a dangerous threat, as shown recently. and basically any of the mountains along the Pacifc Coast can be considered "Volcanoes." :P

As Mr. Precip pointed out, Earthquakes can occur almost anywhere that there in an active fault line (or simply a fault line.) Although the intersting thing about them is that, while you may have thought the Earthquake hit right at you, the actual EpicCenter of the Quak may have been hundreds of miles away. Even more amusing, is that if and when we have a quake on the East Coast, our quakes tend to be stronger in magnitude, because the waves travel easier through the solid base rock of the east coast than they do in the fractured stuff out west. Interestingly enough, a quake in California is actually registerable upon siezmographs in places like West Virginia! And to Sketti's point--there is an active fault that runs along the back-bone of the Appalachian Mountain Range. Another interesting thing, is that most geologists don't even pay attention to "Rechter" scale readings anymore. They use something called the Mercator (Or M something or other :P ) Scale that measures the ammount of Damage done by a Quake, which can better show the intensity of the quake than can the Rechter scale. ::looks up:: Oh good grief....somewhere Dr. Bob is proud of me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Level 8 Priority Transmission ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TO: Vulcan Fleet, Commander Khevio FROM: Ambassador Neptune Rex SUBJECT: VULCAN WITHDRAW Commander Khevio, acting in an official capacity, I must respectfully ask you to withdraw all Vulcan forces from the Sol System immediately. If you do not respond by withdrawing the Vulcan fleet from the Sol System, I am afraid we will have to make you leave. Respectfully yours, Ambassador Rex. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Level 8 Priority Transmission ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ambassador Neptune Rex Chief Liaison to Andoria SD 0407.13 >Begin< Neptune sat sullenly in the darkness of his office. He wasn’t alone though. An elder man, two younger ones, and woman were setting across the desk from him. The elder man looked concerned. “Neptune, have you gotten any response from your message to the Andorian Fleet.” “No Vice-Admiral I haven’t.” One of the younger men, he was dressed in a Starfleet Uniform, spoke up. “What exactly does that mean?” “It means at least three things,” the Vice-Admiral said before Neptune or anyone else could answer. “It means he doesn’t trust you, I know I wouldn’t. And it means they know as much as we do about the t’Kel.” One of the two younger men, he was also in uniform, titled his head. “You said three things, that’s only two?” Neptune frowned. “It means they are planning to attack.” “How do you know that?” the woman, also in uniform , finally spoke. “Think of it this way,” the Vice-Admiral said. “Your in the woods, hunting deer, and you see one. You reach to pick up your gun, but the deer sees you. What do you do? Do you keep reaching and scare the deer off? Or do you stay silent and wait till he looks away to get your gun and shoot him?” He didn’t need an answer everyone in the room knew what he meant. “Then what’s next?” the woman said. “We should tell the Vulcans to bring their entire fleet and mobilize ours,” one of the younger men said. “We have to show them that we aren’t pushovers.” “Yeah, this aggression can’t go unchecked,” the other one chimed. The Vice-Admiral shook his head to them. Neptune did as well. “No gentlemen. This is a game of chess,” he said calmly. “And they have us in check…” “And when your in check, you can’t move,” the female finished for him. “That’s correct Commander. All you can do is move out of check. And that’s what we should do.” The Vice-Admiral nodded in agreement. “I am going to suggest to Starfleet that we stand all of our vessels down from battle stations…” “You can’t be serious!” “Yes Captain Thomas, I am. To be frank, the Andorians can clean our clocks when ever they want to.” The younger man nodded in resignation, he was all to aware of that. “I would suggest Mr. Rex that you relay to our Vulcan counterparts that they too should withdraw from the Sol System.” “Agreed, maybe then the Andorians will be willing to talk.” The Vice-Admiral stood up. “Alright, we all agree that this conversation never took place, Captains, Commander we have work to do. Ambassador Rex, good luck.” The party before him stood and quickly exited into the shadows of the dark room. Neptune sighed and placed his hands on his temples. He had never had a great responsibility than he had now. In his actions the fate of humanity rested. He turned to the computer consol and began writing a message to the Vulcan Fleet. What he was about to do was a dangerous, but calculated move. He just hoped he wasn’t setting himself up for checkmate. --- Vice-Admiral Colt Monroe, or the ‘Slippery Dog’ as he would come to be known during the Romulan Wars, was no stranger to dangerous situations. He was tall man, with white hair and had a look that could make a Vulcan’s blood run cold. For 20 years he had been an agent/administrator of Starfleet Intelligence, and was one of the most respected men in the Fleet. But right now, that didn’t matter. He watched out the transport window as it neared the San Francisco Head Quarters of Starfleet. What he was about to ask…no tell them to do wasn’t going to go over all to well—but it was his—no Earth’s only option for survival. He looked over to his young staff, Captains Thomas and Nelson and Commander Lenin. For their sake, for the world’s sake, he hoped this worked. >End<

SD 0407.12 Chief Diplomatic Liaison to Andoria SD 0407.12 >Begin< Commodore Moose’s secretary had been quite…helpful. She had put him in contact with the new Commander of the Vulcan task force, a Commander Khevio. Khevio had informed Neptune of his findings. That’s what worried Neptune—Romulans. But right now he had more important things to deal with. He had a fleet of Andorian vessels that could pound Earth back to the stone age, circling like sharks. He was in his office in Geneva, contemplating what to do about the situation. He was getting no where with the Andorian bureaucracy, and he was running out of options. Just then his secretary walked in. An older lady, Janice had seen her fair share of troubles. She was his secretary, and most trusted advisor. “Janice,” he said to her as she placed a report on his desk. “What should I do? The Andorian diplomats are just giving me the end-around. The Vulcans…well they aren’t making things easy either. I am running out of time and options.” “Why don’t you just talk to the Andorian Commander?” Neptune blinked. “What?” Janice smiled. “This whole time, no one has bothered to talk to them have they?” “No I guess not…” “Well then why don’t you at least try, as you said you are running out of time and options. It’s worth a try.” “Maybe your right, thanks Janice.” “No problem…” She smiled and walked off. Neptune looked out the window, Janice was right. It was about the only option they hadn’t tried yet. And right now that was a plus. He turned back to his desk and began typing a secure message to the Fleet Commander of the Andorian Task Force. >to be Continued< ----- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Level 8 Priority Message ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TO: Commander of the Andorian Task Force FROM: Ambassador Neptune Rex, Chief Diplomatic Liaison to Andoria SUBJECT: OLIVE BRANCH Fleet Commander. I am Ambassador Rex. I know that your people didn’t destroy the T’Kel. I also know that we are running out of time and options, and that if something isn’t done soon, we’re going to have a lot of dead bodies on our hands. I offer you an olive branch. I wish to discuss terms for your with drawl from the Sol System. Please, I beg of you to consider the loss of lives that will happen if there is a military conflict. I respectfully await your response. Rex ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Level 8 Priority Message ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
