= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1249, STARDATE 52312.18 = starfleet

= The Manticore-B has just finished her shakedown cruise and is sitting at Starbase -REDACTED- preparing to receive its new PK module. Meanwhile, Kansas, on her new assignment as head of Presidential security, escorted the Federation President to a diplomatic summit on the lunar colony. While giving his speech she noticed a sniper in the rafters and quickly dove for the President hoping she moved him in time. Faldek and Gila are now a year into an undercover assignment on Cardassia. The purpose of which the crew has not been notified of. They've met up with an old friend and continue their search for -REDACTED- and so far have not had much success. = starfleet

::grabs the raktajino from the replicator in its bridge safe cup and moves back to Tactical:: I wonder how long we're going to be here..?

::Pushes people out of her way, keeping up with the shooter:: Halt!

::runs down the winding staircase and finally out the exit; it's the moon so not a ton of places to run to; runs through a crowd outside the building pushing and knocking people over as he does::

MAKE A HOLE!! :::Pushes more people out of her way::

::Stares at a PADD while standing on the bridge::

::Shoots at the shooter:::

+ Bridge + Engineering to Bridge..

::sipping his drink:: Commander, you can sit down, we're in space dock..

::replicates herself a ratkajino as she works in the science lab::

::Takes several seconds to remember 'Commander' can be him:: I'm feeling a bit restless for some reason, standing seems to help.

::looks down at his console noticing the alert::

+Callista+ Go ahead Commander.

:::Grabs a PADD and Tosses it at the Shooter's head::

+ Bridge + Tyrel here . All umbilicals are good . Docking Tube sucessfully connected. Hardpoints secure.

::speaks a little louder:: Priority Message from Starfleet!

Er, Pilot, what's with the comms?

::normal voice:: Well, fortunately it does say attempt

::secures his drink for the moment:: +Security+ Stand by for possible orders...

KARL> Is that Kansas shoving him down? ::Smirks::

::checking off medical supplies on PADD; noting what needs to be restocked at Spacedock::

::looks at Karl:: Its just a verbal or textual message at the moment.

::sees an alert on the Cardassian Propaganda Network concerning an assassanation attempt on the Federation President:: Oh my...

((Man word travels at Warp 10))

KARL> I bet she is there...

I hope she is STILL there..

::Shoots at the Taxi and disables it::

::knocks on the office door of Gul Khott::

::Goes to the command chair with a comm to override the hold:: +McFly+ Captain, an extremely priority message from Starfleet has come in, albeit nothing for us to do at the moment. You might want to come to the Bridge when you can

Come in. ::stays seated::

::removes the hold on comms (internal):: +COM+ Comms have returned to normal operation.

:::Takles the shooter but looses her grip on him::

::receives a notice on her PADD about the assassination attempt:: Hmm.

::looks at Bren:: Do you think they're going to recall us?

Scantily Clad Moon Tourist ( Moon) > :: is shoved aside by the shooter and faceplants into the pavement ....::

::hobbles a bit as he struggles to get out of Kansas grip; he turns and runs towards another building hoping it's crowded::

No, I can't say that I do, unless there's some very specific reason. I think there are plenty of ships a lot closer than we are.

::FNN works fast::

::spots notification about assassination attempt on his PADD; raises eyebrow, but continues inventory::

Annika Sorenson

::FNN works fast::

((Now that you mention it, I guess I could see it already being a live broadcast and it wouldn't take but a few seconds))

::nods::

:::Steals someone's cane and trips the shooter... kicks him in the leg:::

Moon Crowd ( Moon ) > :: screams and curses as the Shooter causes a ruckus running by.......::

:: Taps away on the Ops console, eyebrow raised :: Captain, Commander.... all other ships are scrambling leave the Station, including the Kerian and the Vertical.

::raises his eyebrow:: What..?

Hail the Vertical, please.

Starfleet Retiree> :: has his cane used by Kansas...the old man stands still watching the events ... he must be 130 yrs old ::

+Vertical+ Manticore to Vertical...do you read?

::walks in; salutes (however Cardassians salute) then stands at attention at Khotts desk; holds out a padd:: Sir. New orders delivered from the Command Office.

::nods:: Put it on the desk, Dismissed.

Starfleet Retiree ( Moon ) > oh yeah come get some....:: watches Kansas wallup the shooter ::

::Thwapps the shooter with the cane::

+Callista+ (belayed response) Copy that Commander.

Callista Tyrel

Starfleet Retiree ( moon ) > :: sees Kansas official commbadge and decides to help...kicking the shooter as well ::

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

Looks like Kansas is doing her job, that's good. ::Reads the FNN story on her PADD::

::nods then walks out the office::

Original message was deleted or could not be loaded.

((Ya should! Turn yourself in, you changeling))

Starfleet Retiree ( moon) > You don't do that here..no sonny.. ...Arrest him!!!

+Manticore+ ( A very familiar voice, sounding just like Thomas came over the comms ) This is Captain Harnett, we have been called to Earth, due to the attack on the President. (edited)

::Gets hit back, falls back.. scrambles back to her feet::

+Vertical+ Captain Harnett, Commander Bren Faliver. Was it a fleetwide order? We didn't get the same memo.

::checking to see if we have received orders to do the same::

::Clears his throat as though it will help his second attempt:: +McFly+ Captain...?

:::Ducks the next hit, kicks the shooter in the ribs::

Huge Bolian ( Moon) > That guy assaulted a veteran!!!! ( clearly wrong but a mob mentality is starting to take over )

:: Standing next to Faldek ::

EVERYONE STAY BACK!!

+Manticore+ Commander, it was not fleet wide, some ships are being held back.

+Vertical+ Thank you for confirming, good luck out there, be safe. Manticore out.

::Tackles the shooter to the ground::

:: Taps at Ops, listening to his brother ::

Starfleet Retiree ( Moon ) > :: watches Kansas fight the shooter :: Heh...I used to kick arse back in security a century ago...

::looks at Bren::

Hm, to be fair, Pilot, I did not see that coming, even if it isn't the whole fleet

::picks up the PADD:: Great I guess that kills my plans for tomorrow... ::reads "Urgent - Commander of the Bureau of Competence and Duty: Orders are to investigate possible corruption at the Monac Shipyards, Monac IV, immediately."::

::Picards his uniforms::

How long will it take them to get to Earth, and why recall ships for an assassination attempt? Presumably ground forces are present

+Manticore+ You are most welcome, Commander, Harnett out.

+Moon Security+ Back up to the Taxi Port (edited)

::is on the ground and trying to fight back at Kansas who is on top of him::

BIg Bolian> ( moon ) :: checks on the Retiree to see if he is okay ::

::completes supply inventory, transmits list of items in need of resupply to Spacedock::

At maximum warp, it will be several hours.

::Grabs the shooter by the head and slams it to the ground trying to disable him::

But that Sovereign class is literally in a warp class of its own. So it could be sooner.

:: Gets something on her personal padd :: "I am to be moved to a medical facility."

Am I foolish to think something large enough to merit this response would have been more like "Attempt to destroy entire continent by fleet of Dominion vessels and kill the president thwarted"?

Pilot, contact the station, ask why we didn't get the orders to leave with everyone else.

Crowd around shooter ( Moon ) > :: a universal whoooah seeing the shooter get his face smashed into the pavement ::

Gila, with this we can't go play around at Military Intelligence tomorrow. Why don't you go see what you can dig up at the Medical complex, wounded soldiers say things. Be mindful.

Aye Captain!

::Looks at Pilot:: So he'll answer your calls, but not mine

+Station OPS+ This is Manticore, why were we not ordered to return as well?

::stops fighting as soon as his head is smashed into the concrete ground::

"I am always mindful."

:: Walking down the corridor, grumbling to himself, stopping at the Gul's door, he taps the door chime ::

Starfleet Retiree ( Moon )> You don't mess with the best fool....

Of course.

::Punches the shooter in the face::: Care to give up now?

Come in.

Bystander ( Moon ) > He is not getting up from that...

::goes back to his desk in sickbay, reads news updates on assassination attempt::

Starfleet Retiree ( Moon) :: is reunited with his cane....he walks up to Kansas and mentions .. :: You got your collar....now take him in.

:: Steps inside the office, walking toward the desk :: You know, I hate this place...

::let's out a strained breath then nothing; his entire body goes limp as his eyes continue to stare up at Kansas::

::Blinks::

9:38 PM

::Checks for life signs::

::sips his raktajino::

Starfleet Retiree ( Moon )> oh no.

::sips her raktajino, reclining in her seat::

"I don't like splitting up."

Bystander ( Moon) > Someone get a Doctor!!!

::double takes at his comms:: Captain, incoming hail from Jaffee's office.

:: Taps away at Ops ::

Bystander ( Moon) > Man she wiped the floor with that guy.....

::nods to Edvenet:: So there is a change of plans for tomorrow. The doctor here will be going to Military Medical headquarters and I have been ordered to the Monac shipyards to begin an investigation into someone. ::looks at Gila:: Sometimes we have to do things we do not like.

Well hopefully she has some answers. On screen.

+Pres Sectrity team+ Send a recovery team to the Rent-lift port section 4B

::puts Jaffee through and on screen::

::Sits in a chair, but bouncing his leg::

:: Looks at Faldek :: Take a guess as to where they are sending me...

I haven't a clue. Care to enlighten me?

:::Takes a deep breath::: everryone stand back

::sips his drink once more and watches the viewscreen:: (edited)

Captain. Your ship and crew are to stay put for now.

Bystanders ( Moon ) > :: crowd speculates who this guy is that got beaten up.....and wonder if he is related to the news starting to circulate someone tried to kill the President ::

::a tad bit shocked::

:: Sighs :: A temporary assignment to the Intelligence Complex...

:::Moves people back::

::looks over to Bren then back to the screen:: May I ask why? Everyone else gets to play.

That could work out for us...

::Recovers the Shooters weapon::

:: Looks at Faldek :: It could... but with just me there...

:: Working in engineering ::

::Shakes the hands of the other officers coming to the secne::

((plz ignore my earlier combadging, I thought McFly wasn't on the bridge for some reason))

::Walks over to the retireee::: Sorry if I hurt you in any way sir

::checks in the new phasers and rifles:: Nothing better than a resupply!

Bren Faliver

((plz ignore my earlier combadging, I thought McFly wasn't on the bridge for some reason))

((That's alright. I didn't see it anyway

))

Starfleet Retiree ( Moon ) > Just happy to be of help . :: salutes ::

((Don't give me that sad face I've been busy.

))

1

Listen, you'll be fine, My office handles all the cases of misconduct and treachery, so if you do come under suspicion, I'll handle the investigation personally and clear you.

::Salutes back:: your help was life saving

1

Security Personnel ( Moon ) > :: arrive and keep the peace securing the area ::

::has an assumption as to why we can't go::

This is serious, Captain. The Federation President's life is in danger. We're scrambling the fleet back to Earth in case this is part of a greater attack. The ship module for Manticore is almost arrived. I prefer you get that tacked on first. We have the situation covered.

Starfleet Retiree ( Moon ) > :: smiles and proceeds away with his cane in hand ::

Alright, alright. Should we head out once it's installed? (edited)

:: Sighs:: Alright....fine...

Probably but call once it is. The situation may have changed by then.

Understood. Manticore out.

:::Takes a PADD, taps in her chase::

Someone just tried to assassinate the Federation President. Looks like it was thwarted.

They need to put a rush on that module.

Starbase (Redacted) will no doubt have more time for us, now

::reads an update on the FNN story:: Looks like they quashed the attempt and got the guy. Good job, Kansas.

:: Takes a seat, looking around the office :: I see... well let's hope it really was thwarted...

::stands then turns and looks over at Pilot:: See if you can get a ping on the convoy. I'd like to know how far it's out.

:: wonders about the all call on the President...hope this whole war thing doesn't get worse ::

::taps on his console:: Aye sir!

::looks over at Bren:: Yeah hopefully the engineers can work faster.

::puts a map on the viewscreen showing the convoy and their current position::

::hears Annika; lets out a small sigh; realizes he did it and hopes no one on the bridge heard it::

I wouldn't be surprised if we were behind this somehow. ::is referring to the Dominion as a whole:: If the Order were still around I doubt it would have failed.

::shows her PADD to the person next to her on the bridge, talking about the story::

::reads latest update on assassination attempt story, nods, closes article, and opens medical journal::

:::Heads back to the President:: Sir... are you alright?

Well unfortunately I have to take the next transport to Monac IV. Are you two good?

::back in the greenroom in the conference center; still shaken up but feeling better seeing all the security around::

Dr. Tevek

::reads latest update on assassination attempt story, nods, closes article, and opens medical journal::

(("Users like you are reading: Treating Wounds from Assassination Attempts through History, an indepth-look"))

2

::grabs the PADD with the pertinent information on it and stands up::

:: Nods :: Good? No... I am... I don't even know... but I should head to the Intelligence Center...

::Kneels down infront of the Pres:: I'm sorry I was slow on the draw Sir

::feels better seeing Kansas back:: I am, thank you so much. I haven't been that scared since the changeling scare back on Earth. I had hoped I wouldn't feel that way again.

James Ryan (Moon) > :: looking around intently...his phaser pistol is out still though he stands near the president and Kansas ::

I need a refill today feels like it is going to be stressful. +Security+ Return to normal operations.

::places his hand on her shoulder:: You did magnificent, Commander. You truly saved my life. And I am grateful.

I never want you to feel fear while I am around

"I do not believe the order is gone."

::goes to refill his raktajino::

Kansas Kenickie (Moon)

I never want you to feel fear while I am around

((Tres romantique!))

1

can I get you a drink of water? ::Smiles to help him relax::

I believe you will both do fine in your new assignments, keep me apprised of anything you think is important, remember the only communications that are secure are between us in person, nothing sensitive over text or view channels.

9:55 PM

Oh believe me, the Order is definitely gone, with Military Intelligence in control things are worse than ever.

((In the next episode, we learn that Kansas and Jaresh-Inyo were a couple waaay back in the day. Does the old flame still burn? Does McFly kill the President himself to eliminate the rival for his love's affections? On the next, Love Ship))

::looks at the viewscreen:: ...Six lightyears away. It'll be a few minutes. ::takes a deep breath:: Looks like we have time for a long lunch.

:: Nods ::

Hopefully some time to relax during that lunch ::hears the captain, but says to noip::

:::Grabs a fresh glass of water, sips it::

Observation Lounge has a nice long table.

Dismissed.

:::Then hands it to the Presient::

:: ponders if she should alter the installation protocols...but she would of been given guidance from the bridge to accelerate things....::

Understood, and good luck. :: Turns and leaves, headed for the Intelligence complex::

::grabs the glass:: Thank you. ::sips; chuckles to himself:: You better be careful, I could get used to all this attention.

James Ryan ( Moon ) > :: continues to survey things....next to the President ::

your prevous secrity detail didn't do any of this?

::walks out with Gila, sending her on her way to the medical complex::

Not with as much passion. ::smiles::

:: Sits at Ops, watching his console readouts :: A long lunch... I would rather keep busy working...

::Pays Ryan on the back:: Great Job

James Ryan ( Moon )> Any guesses on the suspect?

I am leaving that to the medical Peeps to figure out part of that

::returns to his seat and sips his refill::

::enters the transporter area and beams to his designated transport::

James Ryan ( Moon ) > :: nods and returs his attention to the surroundings ::

I have his weapon this

KK, Komments?

Wait, dang it, I almost have my violin in tune for the Presidential Love Scene

2

lol

It'll have to wait for next week Bren

I would Like to thank Calli for her help tonight

speaking of next week.....

10:01 PM

np KS

and the week after (edited)

I'm free in the evenings, personally

I think I should be ok as well

I don't do anything for New Years but sit at home and listen to my police scanner

I'll be working so I'm free lol

I should be free..

I'll be here

I'll be around

I'll be up both times

I might not be able to make it next week, but can make it on New Year's

( I must depart take care folks be safe )

I'll be here for New Years too!

I should be around for both

Well I forgot to ask it but you guys didn't, so looks like we're simming christmas and new years.

10:03 PM

Later cali

We can have the EMH sub for you Tevek

1

NIte Cali

And no worries on anyone that can't make it.

10:03 PM

Except for Tevek. YOU'RE OUR ONLY DOCTOR!

10:04 PM

Bah, EMH is a douche

1

Just make an EMH bot with the appropriate photo of Robert Picardo

He keeps trying to get me to come in for a physical but I KNOW he's trying to conduct experiments.

10:05 PM

TBS will be 4 hours. I'll post a log this week about the convoy.

McFly

?

KK

10:05 PM

And go ahead and pre-type your question Bren.

1

When you get a moment can you email me about how to make a Bot. I want to make one for Karl.. but I can't figurte it out from our last chat about it

Yep. I'll do that.

10:06 PM

Bren!

(:D) What is the significance of the convoy tag on the view-screen? Like, the signal was lost, so it disappeared? Or they left radar range...?

Karl bot

1

Yay! A Friend!!

2

I'm thinking the convoy got blown to kingdom come...

1

I feel like its the kind of thing I'd have understood visually but not getting the written description

The tag should have been visible all the way to its destination. If it disappears then something happened. They wouldn't just turn their transponder signal off. Think of it like a ship at sea that is required to have its transponder on so other ships nearing it can see it.

Got it, thank you

Alright, anything else?

TBS?

TBS is 4 hours.

10:11 PM

Alright, if nothing else then allow me to explain to you this low cost vacation alternative on the Lunar Colony! With views you can only get from the moon we offer fun getaway for the entire family! ...DISMISSED!!!

Goodnight!

Goodnight and good week all yall

Tomorrow is gonna suck. I've got recertification for Baton/OC/handcuffs at 0800, and I get off work at 0600. It's gonna be a long day/night.

Later dudes
