= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1246, STARDATE 52311.20 = starfleet

= Manticore has been sent to Starbase 23 near the Romulan neutral zone to confirm a new weapon designed against the Changelings. Along the way, they received a distress call, the sender of which claims to be the son of Captain McFly and Commander Kenickie but DNA tests conclude that Erich is the real father. He does, however, bring warnings about the future. McFly decides to cautiously continue with the mission along with calling for fleet backup. Upon arrival to the station, an away team met with the woman leading the project, Dr Moira Taggert. She performed a weapons test on a compound approximating Changeling physiology. And then suddenly, Romulans! They planned to destroy the station, saying it had been taken over by Changelings. McFly was able to suspend their attack with the condition they root out any Changelings on board. They found one, the scientist Dr Moira Taggert. And soon after, they found more... a lot more. Two Jem'Hadar ships dropped out of warp, destroyed the two Romulan ships and then critically damaged Manticore forcing them to limp away towards a nearby planet and crash landing to avoid complete destruction. Kansas and Nathan take matters into their own hands and leave to destroy the station. Faldek and Bren followed after them. They succeed. The station is destroyed, the future is changed, and Nathan no longer exists. The team returns to the planet where they destroyed the two Jem'Hadar ships that have been terrorizing the crew. A day and a half passes while the crew holds off the remaining Jem'Hadar ground soldiers before backup finally arrives. They eradicate the Jem'Hadar and are now preparing to load up Manticore's crew. = starfleet

A quick note before we start. Tonight we'll be working on getting everyone off the planet and into the orbiting ships. Which means moving a lot of wounded. Everyone is free to go NPC wild tonight if you so want to. Cheers!

::is assisted with walking:: Today was a good day to die, but I am glad it led to those dominion petaq deaths instead!

::Matt stares at Manticore, battered, broken, full of holes; he looks on as if looking at a dear pet lying on the table after being euthanized::

::helps move around some of the wounded as well::

Starfleet Medics> :: arrive to where Callista is lying down noting she is unconscious ::

::starts aiding in moving folks back towards the cave::

::looking around:: I think that's about it for the Jem'Hadar...

Starfleet Medic> :: to Dr. Tevek :: Head Trauma? :: notes the bandaging ::

::watches the medics cart away Calli::

::helping to direct shuttle movement for some of the more critically wounded::

::Walks over to McFly:: It's all gone

:: Is on E.J. left, helping him as well :: The Jem'Hadar picked the wrong man to throw against a tree, E.J.

::speaking softly:: ...yeah, it is.

::to Medic:: Correct. She has been suffering from a concussion since an explosion on the station, even before additional impacts from the Manticore's landing.

::glances towards Eric:: That he did my friend, that he did...he was fortunate you got to him before I did.

:: Walks up to Gila :: "Are you alright?"

I'm so sorry ::Puts her hand on his arm::

"I am holding on. As has Violet."

::continuing to Medic:: I have done what I can with Medkit supplies, but she needs to be in an actual medical facility as soon as possible.

::leaves the cave, approaching Manticore, next to McFly:: As soon as we get everyone evacuated I'll work on the casualty count. (edited)

Starfleet Medic> :: does tricorder scan :: I concurr...I 'm going to authorize a beam out....

KARL> ::Still Lives!!::

::walks over to where Violet was::

:: Gave a slight grin :: I am sure you would have put that Mek'leth to good use my friend.

Starfleet Medic 2> :: stops getting ready to move here and looks at lead medic ::

Kansas Kenickie

KARL> ::Still Lives!!::

((Hopefully it won't be in a brig cell))

I suppose I deserve the "I told you so"

I desrve one as well

She always has... ::klingonic grin::

::nods to the medics who are beaming out with Callista::

::sees Faldek out the corner of his eye but doesn't look away from the ship:: Thanks.

::watches the medics beam out Calli. Hopes she’ll be ok::

Starfleet Medic> +Med team one USS Osman ....emergency beam out requested for severe head injury....priority team stat....+

::walking towards the Cave, seeing Pilot being assisted with walking:: Lieutenant! Are you okay?!

:: Thomas raised an eyebrow as he heard Sanchez ::

I'm sure there are still survivors inside. We'll get the wounded here out first then have rescue teams scour Manticore for survivors.

Starfleet Medic> Dr. Tevek....The Osman has a trauma unit onboard....she'll get the care she needs...

::looks over his shoulder:: Just some mild back pain Crewman. Continue to assist with the other wounded.

::Shoows Faldek awaay:::

::nods to medic:: Thank you. Please keep me informed of her status, and let me know if I can be of any assistance.

"Violet fought off the Jem'Hadar very well."

:: Looks around, seeing security teams and med teams everywhere, seeing the crashed USS Manticore ::

We need to get move teams as quickly as possible. We're still in the Neutral Zone after all.

Aye sir!

KARL> :::Helps moves injured people to the beam out site::

Starfleet Medic> :: comm signal chirps and recieves acknowedgement :: + Clear for transport Osman....Energize! +

Yes, with just a wooden staff and a phaser ::hears Gila::

:: demats from her lying prone position .....::

Matt i'm sorry

I'll leave for now but don't think I didn't hear about what you did prior to us coming back from the station. ::to KK, starts to walk away::

::walks up to Captain Harnett:: Not bad for one of your first missions, eh? ::chuckles then slaps Harnett on the back:: It's always fun getting to rescue a sibling. ::his mustache twitches as he grins::

::hears Braxton, adding:: And some old friends....

::takes a deep breath; attention still turned to the ship::

::watches Callista beam off with Medics then turns and looks for additional rescue personnel to direct to urgently injured crewmembers::

::walks back towards the cave::

"I had a good teacher...in the past."

Matthew

Mmm.

:: Raised an eyebrow, turning to see Captain Braxton, seeing his mustache twitch :: It has been... and interesting mission so far, Captain Braxton... only coincidence that my brother happened to be on the Manticore...

Yeah... I am too.

:::Turns him around and away from the view of the ship:: CAPTAIN

Now come on. You can't tell me when you heard the call go out that you didn't special request to join the mission. ::winks::

what

:: Eyebrow lowered slightly :: Well.... I cannot deny that, Braxton...

you can;t just glummly look at that ship.... you need to see to your crew

::spots Captains Harnett and Braxton:: Sirs.

and how am I being the right one here

((Here now, sorry))

:: Is listening, still with E.J. ::

::chuckles while looking at Captain Harnett with a twinkle in his eye::

::hears Faldek:: Commander...

Starfleet Engineer> Captain Braxton, preliminary scouting of the wreck complete...it appears the self destruct apparatus is still intact with the saucer section. The Engineering hull is another matter... we cannot guarantee a full desturct of the engineering hull...too many command circuits have been cut.

::looks over at Faldek:: Commander! Great job defending the crew from the Jem'Hadar.

::assists rescue team medics with a crewmember with severe burns::

:: Eyebrow raised at Braxton, then turned as he heard a familiar voice, giving a nod to Faldek :: Commander.

::clearly favoring his right side, though not in pain:: It's my job. Thank you.

::coordinating with in orbit ships on beam outs::

::puts a hand on Violet’s shoulder:: How’re you holding up? You doing all right?

Starfleet Engineer Lieutenant Stanley > :: awaits more time ::

::slightly furrows his brow while looking at Kansas:: The crew is well taken care of right now. Excuse me while I take a moment to mourn the loss of my ship.

Dr Scholl> ::helps treats some of the injured crew in the cave::

::looks at his PADD, seeing the casualty reports come in:: It was never my intention to put your brother in harms way like this Eric.

Our ship... we all lost her

::overhearing Faldek:: That could bring a tear to me eye.

::looks over to the Engineer:: Hmm. It's too bad we can't salvage her for parts. Is it possible to place explosives in the lower hull to cascade with the self destruct?

:: Looks at Faldek, eyebrow no longer up :: You could not have known something like this would happen Faldek.

((By the way, I'm imagining Tony with a southern drawl. I don't know why I just am))

Lieutenant Stanley> It can be done sir...but it will take time.

((I was starting to as well))

:::Looks at the Manticore::: we grew up on her... it's goning to hurt for a while

LIeutenant Stanley> The Nacelles broke off hundreds of meters away from the main wreck sir...Given our insecure location I recommend destroying those from orbit.

::turns his attention back to the ship:: ...I... lost her. A9 entrusted her to me and I lost her.

Casualty count is going to be high, really high... Lots of good people died. (edited)

:: Looks to E.J. :: A tear? Emotions... :: Shakes his head slightly ::

::working with medics to get patient stable enough for transport to the Osman::

::to Thomas:: Be a dear friend and grab a pain reliever from my loadout bag. I would like to gaze at Manitcore one last time without pain from.

:::Curses::A9 is going to kill both of us

::helps move some of the wounded and getting them ready for transport ::

((Just blame Bren...

))

::to Stanley:: Well lets get those placed as soon as possible then. We need it incinerated considering our location. And I agree about the nacelles. Have tactical get those ready to be destroyed.

Lieutenant Stanley> :: looks to Faldek :: You should get that injury looked at Commander...

Lt. EJ Pilot

((Just blame Bren...

))

((Damnit Bren!!!))

:: Nods and reaches into the bag on E.J.'s back, loading a hypo, injecting it into the Klingons shoulder ::

Thank you.

:: Nods ::

Lieutenant Stanley> :: salutes to Braxton nods to Faldek and scurries off with a purpose ::

...Yep

::watches as people beam out:: I'm not leaving until everyone else is taken care of Lieutenant. Thank you for your concern however.

::receives the hypo from his hand as well just in case and moves to the Manticore not near KK & McFly::

::checks medical tricorder again and watches for changes in patient's vital signs::

:::Wraps around McFly's arm::: it will be OK... it has to be

It's a shame we had to meet again under these circumstances Eric, also congratulations on your promotion. I look forward to seeing your ship.

::salutes Manticore:: Take care old girl. We've got it from here.

9:34 PM

::turns and moves back to the group at the cave::

:: Nods to Faldek:: It is a shame, and congratulations on your promotion as well, Commander.

::turns his attention back to Faldek and Eric::

::nods to medics to indicate that patient is stable for transport::

::stops near them:: I hope we will get another shot at those damn Jem Hadar.

::nods his appreciation, watching another group beam out::

I don't know this time.

:: Follows E.J. back, having followed him to look at the ship :: I would rather we never see them again...

(Back, sorry, did not feel well)

Oh I am sure you will get your wish Pilot.

Nate is gone..... he just

::looks at Faldek, nodding::

((Alright, Faldek, you can cross off Erichs name on the casulty list.

))

((LOL))

gone

:: Nods :: The way things are going, I am sure you will get more than one chance, Lieutenant.

((for now))

How?

::watches the patient he was treating beam out, and looks around the cave for the next one::

::looks at Eric:: So, what kind of ship are you commanding Captain?

one moment he was there.... then he was just gone

:: Sits down :: "I have had dizzy spells ever since I arrived on this planet."

::helping to move wounded into shuttles::

I assume time travel stuff?

:::Nods:::

9:39 PM

I killed my son

CPO Ganner> ::on Manticore helping supervise the removal of wounded and dead bodies::

::walks over to consult with medics from rescue vessels::

:: Looks to E.J. :: The U.S.S. Vertical NCC-93568-A, Sovereign class..

::doesn't say anything, to agree or... disagree::

:: many yellow engineering crewman Ganner sees ::

That's a new class, right?

:: Nods :: Indeed it is.

Same class as the new Enterprise. Very cutting edge.

:: Goes to Erich to see how his is managing ::

::nodding in approval:: Very nice! Can't wait to see her or be allowed onboard.

Engineering Ensign Banks> :: looks at her fallen comrades with a few tears then a salute at AA ::

Soverigns are nice but they're too bulky. I like something with a little more giddy up in her step. ::slaps his knee as he says that:: An Akira has half the power of a sovereign but it can whip around some of thos huge capitol ships about a good a Defiant, I tell ya what!

(Dang it Bobby!)

((Ya know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say his ancestors were the Hills))

9:44 PM

::looks at Braxton:: a little bit more bite than bark, eh Captain?

::looks at Braxton funny::

::proceeds to assist medics with a patient with internal bleeding::

::looks at EJ:: Ab-sooo-lutely! ::Bites into the air::

::grins, nodding::

Dr Scholl> ::helps treat and move patients into a shuttle::

Ensign Banks> :: hurries to a Shuttle after securing some essential materials from Manticore ::

((Tony Braxton is definitely the life of the party))

9:46 PM

I am so glad I started getting all my things replicated while keeping the originals safely stored away.

KARL> ::Helping injured off the Ship::

:: Raised an eyebrow at Captain Braxton ::

CPO Ganner> ::finishes his area, logging the dead crew members into his PADD:: I think we're done here as far as the dead and wounded go.

:: Took off quietly to help out with moving wounded ::

::looks at Faldek:: we should probably get the Captain and Security Chief to a shuttle or ship...

::directs two more shuttles to landing spots::

::administers hypo to patient, then checks vital signs on medical tricorder::

LIeutenant Stanley> :: arrives at Braxton :: Good news sir....We have reevaluated our assessment. Engineering section of the ship...can be successfully self destructed.

::his PADD chimes again with another update:: The Captain will leave when he's ready.

Excellent job Lt! I knew you could do it!

::looks at Faldek:: I only mentioned that because we're not in so much friendly terrority, but you're the boss, sir. (edited)

Lieutenant Stanley> We have rigged a remote system...for command level protocols sir.

KARL> :::CLimbs out of the Maintcore, heads back to the cave::

::Looks at the others:: Are we done here? Is it time to get that Captain of yours?

::nods to medics to indicate that patient is safe for transport::

:: Looks over towards the wreck of the Manticore ::

However I think you and Thomas should head for a shuttle... If you can find him. ::looks at Braxton:: I'll let McFly know.

:: Helps load some wounded into some of the U.S.S. Vertical's shuttles ::

::nods::

KARL> :::Holds out the Manticore Wall plack:: Sir... I thought you would want this'

9:53 PM

::Holds it out to McFly::

+T. Harnett+ Thomas, I am headed to you.

::looks back towards the direction of Matt and the ship:: I sure don't envy him. I know it can't be easy losing a ship. I darn near shed a tear any time we scrape the paint. I couldn't imagine seeing her in the state your girl is in right now. ::would be holding his 10 gallon hat in his hand if he had one::

::heads off towards McFly::

::looks around to see if there are any further :patients who need to be prepared for transport::

::to Faldek:: Good man

+Pilot+ Understood

Lieutenant Stanley> :: remains nearby the Captains incase of an issue .....::

:: Steps out of a shuttle, its hatch shuts and it lifts off ::

::slowly takes the plaque from Karl::

::heads towards to Harnett::

:: Watches as Faldek walks off ::

::looking at the plaque being handed to the Captain:: Hopefully there will be another...

::spots no further patients who need to be prepared for transport and heads towards a shuttle::

::claps loudly:: Alright people. Let's get a move on. We need to get out of here before them pointed eared bastards come sniffin around. ::slaps Eric on the back:: Present company excluded of course.

::approaches McFly:: Matt, Captain Braxton has informed me that they are ready to scuttle what is left of the Manticore. The remaining crew are boarding shuttles to the fleet.

::makes it to Harnett:: I guess we can get on the next shuttle to Vertical.

:: Heading towards a shuttle with Gila and Violet ::

:: Loads a few things into the shuttle :: Take a seat.

Matt ::Pauses, tugs on his sleeve:: We are going to have to leave

::steps onto the shuttle and sits::

::takes a really deep breath holding back a ton of emotion; quivers a little bit as he exhales:: ...Alright

::follows Gila, Violet and Erich into a shuttle, takes a long look at the Manticore in the distance::

Good Job moving the injuredf and not killing Karl

There is always tomorrow.

Damn, the one person we would have been fine without

https://tenor.com/8lIj.gif

TBS will be 5 days. We will have been taken to Earth Spacedock where the entire crew has been debriefed. The senior staff by Jaffee but everyone else by other SI personnel. Feel free-nay! I ENCOURAGE a written log... if you so choose.

10:07 PM

Questions or comments?

(( @Kansas Kenickie - I hope your interview went well! I made a note on my calendar to wish you good luck Thursday morning, but... I didn't check my calendar Thursday...))

I thik it went OK, fast but OK

That means they liked you!

So if anyone was wondering, I calculated 47% casualties from the base crew count for a Nebula class starship according to Memory Alpha.

2

Sorry I was late everyone :\

So like half the crew

KK stay out of trouble!

He wanted me to have as heartbreaking of a number as possible so the top brass will fire me and make him the new captain

HEY! There it is!

ha, 47 again

Captain Violet

We're not jumping THAT far in time

Yes I chose 47 because of the significance it has in Star Trek.

And the universe and everything

10:10 PM

Sovereigns are so pretty, aren't they?

1

We should get one

Oooh

::wink wink::

They sure are.

Probably get Quark, to give you a deal..

1

Man I hope they're available to order already.

47 is the answer to life the universe and everything, with inflation, according to Rick Berman

1

Yes, but the down payment costs an arm and a leg

I must be off

That's what Karl is around for.

nite nite peeps

Bye KK

Goodnight and good week all yall

McFly

Goodnight!

Bye everybody!

Alright, if nothing else, let us pour one more out more out for our beloved Manticore. She was like your mom, we all fit inside her... DISMISSED!!!

::pours out some 2309::

Wow
