desha: hold on, we've got a hit *he says a few seconds later as the console pings and he walks over to read the results* says that someone matching our man's description recently stole a ship from trill, so he's guilty of grand theft starship at the very least *he says, glancing back up at the viewscreen*
(well, i still need to know if he's actually in the database so i can respond appropriately) *desha glances over at (who even handles reading through data received from other places? the science officer?), who shakes his head* nothing yet, captain
(well, requesting access can also mean the one with access does the actual searching and relays any results found to the requestee...i probably should've used a different term, though and if calhoun's the one doing it, he could also look up the centennial...a ship reported lost at the battle of starbase one should raise…
(i assumed calhoun would run the info desha gave him through the database, then report back if he got a hit...does he actually HAVE an entry in the database?)
desha: we'd like if any starfleet ships in the area can assist in detecting where the ship may have gone - our sensors are strong, but they aren't as attuned to breaking cloaks as starfleet sensors are - we're transmitting our location now *the orthrus does so* oh, and we found one of your missing ships - the USS…
desha: captain, this is commander desha of the imperium cruiser orthrus - i respectfully request access to starfleet's criminal database - we were recently by house mo'kai forces, during which an amarie class freighter decloaked, attacked one of the ships and beamed several klingons off another, and after the battle, sent…
except the elachi we fight all through the romulan arc ARE the normal elachi - the corrupted ones are brand new - i.e. they only started becoming corrupted after j'ula started TRIBBLE with the mycelial network by launching those probes into it
(a location near the klingon border would at least offer a reasonable explanation for how those mo'kai BoPs managed to show up, instead of them crossing through huge swaths of federation space - as for why imperium ships would be that far south? patrol duties and keeping an eye out for hur'q hit and run attacks at the…
(well, yeah it's outdated - it only goes up to the borders as portrayed during the 2370s and we're 40 years past that...didn't stop cryptic using it as the basis for THEIR map, nor the discovery team using it for theirs, minus a few alterations)
(still doesn't change the fact that someone has to DO that admiral - i am not because i've already got one end of the conversation, and i'm not typing up essentially an entire conversation with myself)
(also, he wanted to request any nearby starfleet vessels help sweep the area for ravager's ship if he actually IS in the database (and would he actually be? because whoever takes the officer that checks is going to need info from nick as to the contents of the file), or even just because, and as far as i know, only the…
(he asked for quinn specifically since he needs a check on starfleet's criminal database to see of ravager is on it, and quinn is likely the only one who has full access to it - also, he wants to notify starfleet about their found missing ship)
[Exeter Sickbay] *a black ball of fur starts to shift on the biobed where he was left, a soft whine coming from it followed by a low moan of pain as a pair of hands detaches from the furball to clutch his throbbing head, which has also detached from the furball*
(so um...i made a charter - which was 90% lifted from this UFP charter i found which itself was lifted from the UN charter and modified as appropriate for a space-faring organization, so i don't even know what some of the terms used mean it is undoubtedly a HUGE mess because i have absolutely no clue how government…
also, the dev did NOT lose - lose would imply that his game was found to be in violation of CBS copyright or trademarks and if he wanted to continue developing it, he would either have to pay licensing fees or cease developing the game entirely since the ruling was parallel development or whatever the term is, he does not…
desha: ops, begin active anti-cloaking sensor sweeps, full tachyon and antiproton spectrum - if you see ANYTHING out of the ordinary, even the slightest bit of background radiation that's a single micron out of place, i want to know about it - shepard, contact starfleet command and get admiral quinn on the line shepard:…
desha: *staring blankly at the screen* was that a pre-recorded message? *he asks hypothetically, since he already knows the answer, before barking out* shepard, track that transmission, NOW! ops, scan for a warp trail leading out of the system - they have a cloak, but it's probably a bolted-on model and our sensors are…
desha: what exactly do you intend to do with the klingons you captured...captain? *he replies, feeling a sense of great unease and wrongness as he looks upon the human, almost like a strong need to cleanse himself under a scalding hot shower...thoroughly* if you intend to sell them at a slave auction, i'm afraid i cannot…
shepard: commander, we're picking up a transmission from a short distance away, unencrypted as far as we can tell desha: odd...maybe it's our civilian - transmit it to my console *the human orders as he glances over at the small LCARS screen integrated into the right armrest of his seat*
geryon: oh, they are - the only reason they got as far as they did with us is that most of our guns are heavy cannons designed for taking on larger capital ships - something that nimble is hard to hit for them, and the lighter cannons don't do all that much damage
