A two group come around the corners, right into fireing sight.
LaForge: Okay, i see what they did. I am configuring the core and deflector dish, but to undo wjhat they did to the Challenger, we need to get up to the bridge.
RAdm Rose: Oh, any more great news, LaForge.
LaForge: They are restarting Professional Baseball back on Earth.
****** Cartwright: Krys, give her the basics of Andromeda politics and the Reapers. That way, she is not blindsided by this again. Take Care, even you Alex. Signing Off

(Yes she is.)
Krystal: Well Shadow... you do kinda look a lot like him.
Anyways Admiral... Andromeda's an... interesting place. Different tech base relying on something called Element Zero and what they call Mass Effect technology. Basically mass alteration. All of the galaxy's native species have found examples of the technology, which naturally drove them down the same path through reverse engineering. There is a network of gates called Mass Relays, and a massive, ancient structure called The Citadel.
The major powers include the Citadel Council, made up of the Asari, Turians, and Salarians, the Batarians, who are basically pirates, and the Systems Alliance, which... are humans. There's an exact copy of the Sol System in Andromeda. There are also a number of minor powers like the Volus, but most of them have ties to the Citadel. The one wild card is actually the Geth. A race of sentient machines created by the Quarians. It was completely by accident, but because AI research is outlawed by the Council... the Quarians have been under continual punishment for the last 300 years.
All the technology they found... left behind on purpose to influence Technological Development down one particular path by the Reapers. Ancient, living machines who see organic life as chaos. They let them reach a cetain point, then every 50,000 years the Reapers come into the galaxy and essentially consume all the sentient life of a suffecient technological level to make more Reapers. By ensuring the local races find their tech, they guarantee Technological Superiority. And... we're coming up on another cycle of Galaxy Purging.
And... because we found our way into Andromeda and revealed ourselves to the Reapers... they've shown interest in coming after our galaxy as well... and fully intend to launch an attack. Our technology still gives us a bit of an edge, but they have numbers. Enough to clear out a galaxy. And the last two times Lexington went up against a Reaper... we didn't come out unscathed.
For the most part the Citadel Councel is content to pat themselves on the back and ignore the threat, believing it to be over and blame the Geth. The Alliance, however, is not ignoring the threat. I just hope there are others who take it seriously as well.
Raneson: Riiiiight, got it.... However since Cartwright is dealing with politics in a completely different galaxy, him leading the Army would only make things complicated. *Sigh* Someone up the chain really screwed up on the list of FADMs if you ended up pretty much their last available option, Krys. Someone is getting a lot of heat for this frakkery back home I bet.
Henha: If I might make a suggestion, Jessica O'Connel is another Fleet admiral who might be a good candidate. She has some... history with the Empire that leads me to believe she is a good leader.
(At one point in the past when Jessica was still Eight of Ten she served as a fake chancellor to stop an assassination plot. She did this before the federation Klingon war and it's kept secret but those that know respect her greatly as she did a good job)

Krystal: Shadow... you're thinking like a werewolf. Of course you can tell the difference. Try thinking like one of us. Why do you think Gaia and Jadzia changed their hair color?
Nick: Looks like all the fun people left the bridge.....*Replicates another bottle of whisky* I may as well join the rest... *Nick walks over to the ready room door, standing outside the room quietly*
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not. Which means there's no time to waste. Someday the world will no longer need us. No need for the gun, or the hand to pull the trigger." -Punished Snake
Raneson: The O'Connells were on the list, and for some reason, considered, and I quote - "Unsuitable for Army Leadership", thereby disqualified basically, and I can't just make them qualified since the SOA is the highest authority when it comes to making new divisions. This leaves Krys here the only available candidate since the only other option, Cartwright, basically automatically disqualified himself because of the whole Andromeda thing. This is one major frak up.....
*Nick knocks on the ready room door, waiting patiently*

Cartwright: Rose is former SpecFor Operator, Major before restqarting her Star Fleet carrer. Hmm. Then expand the pool, Admiral. Patton, Montgomery and MacArthur was passed over for Allied Command Head.

RAdm Rose: YEah, thats not going to be easy. Vestian and his squad is on the lower deck, clear out problem. (She hits another possessed) How long?
Karter: Not long now.
Geordi: Few more minutes.

Krystal: And someone who has no experience whatsoever got the top of the list? Yea... someone frakked up big time. *stands up and plants her hands on her desk* I am NOT giving up the Lexington. I am NOT taking a desk job. And I am most certainly NOT going to be railroaded into a job I don't want!
*hint of a feral look in her eye*
Nick: You know.... while the door might be open I'd still rather have someone tell me i can come in than assume it... *leans on the door frame* but you seem to be having a crisis on your hands so... it might be time to assume...

you know...you could just contact the guy in charge of choosing candidates and tear him a new one - that would put you firmly in the 'unsuitable for army leadership' pile really damn quick

Nick: You know, part of me wants to throw away everything i believe in and just throw in my hat, so you don't have to suffer this fate, Admiral Jade... Sure, I'm not any kind of admiral... but... think they would make an exception for over a thousand years of experience? *He enters the room*

Raneson: Again, they won't promote someone random just to take the Office of General of the Army, I don't even know who wrote out that list and chose the candidates...

*Shadow feels a fox tail puffing up against his leg, although it is hidden to everyone else*
Krystal: Who do I need to yell at for this... fiasco?
Nick: Someone random? I am more than some random.... I am Captain Nick O'Connor.... a hero of the dominion war. recipient of The Christopher Pike Medal of Valor and The Star Cross.. member of The Karagite Order of Heroism and The Grankite Order of Tactics... and that's what's just on my current record.... Admiral Jade has seen my record. she can confirm.
