(they ARE desk jockeys in star trek...how many times did admiral ross personally fight in any engagement during the dominion war? very few, if any - mostly he was coordinating from starbase 375)
OOC: Which brings more qualms in. Admirals are commanders, they should decide how they lead. From the center, the back, or the front. Most prefer the center, which the 'majority' of admirals seem to be majorly under represented in Starfleet....

(I think Kirk was the only known Admiral to take direct command of a single ship. And... he hated being an Admiral.)
(The Captain of the ship has responsibility for that ship, and only that ship. An admiral has responsibility to a bunch of ships. Its far easier to command from a rear area, then the front line.
While the admiral can order a ship to do anything, the captain knows what his ship is capable of at that time. Its like the CEO of a company coming down to a factory and trying to manage/run that factory. He doesnt know the in and outs.
Or the owner of the team, coming down to the field and taking over the head coaches job. He has to worry about the big picture, and the little deatils are what get you killed.)
Ancient Griffon insult
That one is so stupid, he lost a Rock/Paper/Scissors game to a Pony.
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.

OOC: But in the military, you work from the bottom up. With the others, the CEO or team owner can have no expeeiance with the structure at all, while an Admiral has been a cadet, lieutenant, captain. He knows how a ship works, and how to command them.
Now, he does have a responsibility to the fleet, but he has a responsibility to win the fight. You need to be able to change prders on the fly, so most go with the center, a good combo of safety of command and command reflex. From the rear means it takes time for the message to get through, while from the center, it can expand equally as fast in all directions.
(that's not the same mussolini that led the fascist party during WW2, is it?
because his first name was benito, not julius)
OOC: This is many, many years after WWII. And in this universe, Mr. Benito Mussolini was a very popular capitalist reporter for the Northern Italian Federation.
((OOC: Usually, in scifi stories alternate dimension can only be accessed at the same time you are. However, it may seem diffent time periods as something happened or didnt happen that affect that world history. Both Star Trek and Sliders is the same time between them, and the same speed of time. Just things happen differently. Of Course, it not be to Kuntels world. Btu that usually how it happens.))

He gave me a ride. And that portal stole... something... from me.
And... I'm actually here because of the preparations.

((But the admiral doesnt know that a fire in this area, can be more costly then a fire in this area cause he doesnt know the ship. The Captain does, or should.))

OOC: The Admiral, having experiance as a captain, would indeed know that a fire is more dangerous in the warp core than, say, Ten Forward. He is not an idiot, and he does have a first on a ship. He would not need to mworry about fires, because he has subordinates to do that.

You know... the holodeck on the Lexington could recreate this course, or any course for that matter. I'd be more than happy to help if you had any questions.

Caddy: Here's your stop.
*He turns to her, the light glinting off his name tag. It says 'Julius Mussolini'.
*Gets out and waits by the Kaiser's cart so as not to disturb them while making a shot*
