Harkon: *now that he is in the light its easier to see his appearance. Harkon is very pale with black short hair. He is wearing some light body armor that is black but with a red angular symbol on the chest reminiscent of a bat. The armor appears to have been heavier but was cut down for maneuverability* Alright.
*OOC: Sorry, I was kind of celebrating graduating from University, getting my old in game characters to level 60, and thinking of something.. What did I miss?*
*Federation space*
*The Enterprise J drops out of warp to the zone of the freighter to find wreckage of many ships, including a fellow Universe class vessel... NCC-1912-A *
*Terry and the crew gaze upon the wreck in some shock.. *
Terry: Rissa scan for any known signatures and missing Federation vessels.
Rissa: I found it sir. Its the newly launched Titanic...
Terry: Any escape pods?
Rissa: Negative.. but the energy signatures give credence to the Borg.
Terry: Shields up.. I want the crew on full alert.. Colas you know what to do. I want teams to find out what happened exactly.. But exercise extreme caution.. We don't know a whole lot about these new Borg.
Wade: Alright folks get to work..
*James Jr at the helm watches the floating wreck in worried wonder.. Casval watches from his station stern..*
*Republic- Arcadian conflict zone. *
*The Arcadian Empire has been drawing forces to the newly acquired planets building new supply lines, but the Republic hired Privateers have been giving the Arcadians some trouble with raids.. The New Emperor has kept it a focus to build and expand the Empire despite other ideas. Their exploration teams have only observed the Federation exploring and growing in influence. The zone itself at the moment is being held temporarily by the Republic in bloody holding patterns. Dani's presence has given them plenty of vexxing..*
*Flavius paces around.. with the General.. A new man from a newly conquered race.. Humanoid and similar to Humans.. with an exception of a mean streak and will to conquer.. and a furry tail...*
Flavius: General... Our scouts have discovered a weak point in the Republic lines.
General: Excellent.. news but right now we wait for our "friend" to give the signal. Prepare your men.. I wouldn't want that woman... *his brow furls in agitation..* to put a wrench in this plan. Have the ships been updated?
Flavius: The information from the data core was valuable to the core of engineers was enlightening... including a few new clues to weapons as well as new tactics..but they are not tested.
Designed to supplement the Discovery-Class as a fully-functional Exploration Vessel, the Legacy-Class has also been designed to supplement the screening elements of the Republic fleet. Capable of independent operation for long periods of time, the Columbia Class is also the ideal raider and long-range patrol vessel for the Republic Fleet. With excellent sensors and targeting systems for a ship its size, it can also be utilised effectively for planetary blockade and in support of planetary assault operations. However, it's weak shielding and armour when compared to larger capital ships makes her ill-suited to function as a flagship in heavy combat operations.
*The Enterprise J after a day at Warp has arrived at the colony and the Republic vessel.*
*Down below the cargo rooms are towing the supplies into shuttles or transporter pads.. The Cadets are there waiting for the Republic vessel... The shuttle arrives when the bay clears and it docks..*
*Casval watches from above as his sister is watching the shuttle doors. Casval hasn't seen his mother in quite some time, but he feels terse around the two of them, and is annoyed with his father not being there..*
Casval: Why isn't he down here..
James Jr: *Coming to his little brother* So they can settle this spat? I don't know. Sometimes people just let their errant pride get the better of them.
Casval: Still... they need to quit acting like children.
James jr: Look Cas.. People fight.. Nothing you can really do about that. Besides... mom got what she wanted, even if it cost her time with us.. Dad just did not want us in a combat zone growing up in that.
Casval: *grumbles...*
James Jr: Hey grumpy.. who gave you any kind kindness?
Casval: *laughs weakly* You are my favorite sibling.. Besides Grandpa always spoiled you..
James Jr: Golden Boy.. Cas. It has its perks.
*Dani steps off the shuttle, inspecting the cadets before Mila walks over.*
Mila: Ensign Mila Allen, leading cadet company, reporting as ordered, sir.
Dani: As you were, ensign. *Smiles.* That uniform suits you. Could do with a couple more gold pips but...
*Mila smiles, blushing slightly.*
Where's your Dad? I was hoping I'd get to see him...
Mila: He's on the Bridge... Gave me permission to disembark then left a few minutes ago...
Dani: Oh...
Alright, ensign. Status report?
Mila: 28 Third-Year Starfleet cadets plus 2 Ensigns to transfer aboard the R.S.S. Columbia, Captain.
Dani: Very well. You have permission to embark.
*Mila leads the cadets onto the shuttle before Dani signals it to take off.*
I'll beam back in an hour. This won't take long.
*On the RSS Columbia, Quinton is resting since he figured out he was staying on the ship.*
Quinton: *Sighs* I wonder who the new company officer is..
Sally: I hear its an Admiral's daughter.. *As she lays on the bunk above him..*
*Quinton blinks*
Quinton: Oh great.... I think I know who it is...
Sally: Who?
Quinton: The Captain's daughter..
Sally: Wow.. but one question.. What is the history there?
Quinton: *grunts* I don't feel like talking about that overly tempered brat.
Sally: Ouch.. Hurt feelings?
Quinton: Not talking about it... *His tone is serious..*
*There's a chime at the door.*
Sally: Come..
*Quinton gets up and puts his uniform coat back on.*
*Mila steps in, looking at Quinton.*
Mila: I just came aboard. Figured I'd see how you were.
Quinton: Just fine actually.. *He is soon finished putting the uniform coat back on.. He looks like his father in everything but the eyes..* Seems I am going to be onboard this vessel for a while longer..
*OOC: I do have an idea considering Logan needs something to do.. Not to mention west.. *
*He storms out*
Sally: That is probably the most angry I have seen him..
*Mila sighs, shutting her eyes as she leans against the wall, before looking at Sally.*
Mila: Sorry, I don't think we've been introduced. Mila Allen.
Sally: Sally Farrow.. I remember you Mila..
Mila: Have we met?
Sally: Not really, I did meet your twin.
*Mila groans a little.*
Mila: Yeah, so had half of Starfleet Academy...
Sally: Perhaps.. but.. *She laughs with a little blush* No.. I won't torture you much.. Besides I am sure your different in a lot of ways.
Mila: Sometimes, I think I should be beatified for not having gone insane and killed him yet. *Smirks lightly.*
It's funny. He never mentioned you. To me or his girlfriend.
Sally: No.. It was a one night thing, besides.. No need to torture you with details.
Mila: Please don't. *She smiles, before a bulb goes of in her head.*. You were in the security class, right?
Sally: No. My sister was. She can't stand snakes.
Mila: Damn. And here I was hoping I might have found a sparring partner.
So, you and Quinton...?
Sally: No.. *She laughs.. as she hops down* I think he has a big enough monkey on his back..
Mila: Huh?
Sally: Quinton as much of a charming guy he can be.. Just not what I am looking for.
Mila: No, I meant the 'monkey-on-back' comment. He already has someone else?
Sally: No he doesn't... As a matter in fact he seems to just want to work.
Mila: Oh...
Okay, thanks. Nice meeting you.
*She walks out, sighing once the doors close before heading to the Bridge.*
*A couple hours pass before long and he is back to doing more work on the EPS regulators.. Quinton grunts as he pries the module out. *
Quinton: Keep telling them that these parts are not going to last them..
Mila: They should listen to you.
*She's standing behind him, smiling a little.*
Quinton: What is it Ensign..
*He manages to get the module out revealing the poor quality of the module..*
Quinton: This is why you don't buy from Orion vendors in bulk.. You more or less get junk.
U.Fury: as I have already said we are putting together a special team. One that works in secret to deal with threats to galactic security and peace. Unlike shield or vanguard we don't operate in the public eye. Most the time they won't even know we exist.
He pulls up a number of reports and images
U.Fury: between the new borg, Malick, and the threat of civil war in the republic there is a lot to do. Once we have the full team at times you will all work together to stop a threat at others solo. This ship is mobile command while our main base is hidden deep on earth. I have men already there as well. You will have full access to any tech and weapons you may need and your name is going to be erased from shields files and any other Intel agency. Giving you the ability to work wherever and whenever you need to.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Rear Admiral T'kir Douglas: The bombing hit the Republic Naval Dock in orbit of the planet. It took out main power and the backups just as the station was preparing to boost its orbit. That would have required in-depth knowledge of the station and it's procedures.
Dani: You think one of our people did this?
Douglas: That's the assumption we're running on. Luckily, two civilian freighters took the station under tow and put her back in orbit before picking up survivors, but at least 25 officers and enlisted personnel were killed.
The Fleet Admiral is issuing orders in 2 hours for all RNF vessels and installations to go to security alert. With any luck, this was just an isolated incident, but you never know...
Dani: Has anyone claimed responsibility for the attack?
Douglas: 6 terrorist groups have claimed credit - who's telling the truth is another matter entirely. Naval Intel is suppressing this until we can soften the blow to parliament - the last thing we need right now is for this to trigger the civil war we're hoping to avoid.
Dani: Understood.
Douglas: In the meantime, continue your patrol. We haven't heard anything from the Arcadians in months - they're up to something.
Dani: That's a little pessimistic, don't you think?
Douglas: I'm not a pessimist, Captain. I'm a realist. PegComm out.
Malick is drinking as he watches the reports come in on his feed. The attack on the ship yard intrigues him bUT without knowing who did it leaves it open. He's more of an opportunity with the fact the r epublic is trying is trying to keep things quite.
Elsewhere Arnon is creating a weapon capable of bringing entire planets under his complete control.
