alex: i've gone back into combat barely minutes after being shot, and you should be at least somewhat as durable as me, but if you'd rather stay here with me and overview the mission, you can
(so, apparently the germans aren't one for naval boarding, because i've been looking for instances in which they've been involved in naval boarding actions going as far back as the holy roman empire, and i could only find one...literally ONE, at the start of WW2 - and it technically failed)
(but how much will she need to bring to match just the lycaon, never mind everyone else? especially since the dominion is pretty much running on empty thanks to the hur'q - i mean, they kept pointing out as the arc progressed that odo's fleet is basically the last major pocket of dominion forces left, aside from what the…
(or we could just assume exeter raised shields as soon as the first shot was fired and likewise returned fire...not everything has to be said - some things can be inferred via application of common sense)
(well, it isn't like the fight lasted longer than a minute anyway - alex barely managed to get a shot off before everyone ran off, but it was a shot they won't forget and i have no idea what you're talking about - the post button works just fine)
(yeah, that's the impossible part - you can't 'stop all emissions' - EVERYTHING modern technology, never mind future technology, does generates waste heat, and that heat has to go somewhere or it'll cook everyone on the ship to death like, this is the insanely impossible-to-understand-unless-you're-a-scientist version of…
(i'm counting the dates the respective missions occurred, like i have been the past two years because that's the only way we can halfway keep track of this mess!)
(it was in january; we're now in july, and you can't build a 3200 meter ship in 2 months - even 5 is pushing it despite having the beginnings of a starforge-based shipyard available for use)
alex: that's my new flagship, the lycaon, a heavily modified fenris battleship built to replace my first flagship lost during the battle of bajor nearly 6 months ago *he says with a hint of pride in his voice, chest floof puffed out noticeably through the opening on his trenchcoat, while out in space the emitter on the…
alex: why does this not surprise me? newblood, hail the lycaon and have them decloak and fire a lance at one of those dominion dreadnoughts that the female's changeling was NOT originating from - we just want to show we mean business, not spark another dominion war by murdering one of their 'gods' *he orders the jem'hadar…
(obviously - he's been there the whole time on his flagship; ha may have been on someone else's ship in cryptic's version, but we never follow the cryptic version exactly and BTW...that's kind of the point - those battles are so massively oversaturated in media because of their popularity - what about all the other equally…
(i already knew about the fleet in the system; that's why i had us arrive on the very edge of it, so odo could brief us and then we'd all microwarp directly to the station and kick some female changeling TRIBBLE, since she refuses to leave peacefully)
*the conundrum drops out of warp near the...whatever odo's ship is called just as alex returns to the bridge and takes his seat* (is it just me, or does there seem to be a distinct lack of WW2 documentary featuring the africa campaign? or the atlantic campaign, for that matter...it's all poland, france, barbarossa and…
alex: i knew the description of augment intelligence was well-founded *he's interrupted by a chirping from his badge* greymane here wulas: alpha, we're coming up on the masan system alex" acknowledged; drop us out of warp and standby - i'll be on the bridge momentarily, greymane out *he turns to dundee* just in time -…
