I'm missing the post before this one but by the sounds of things it doesn't | |||
seem a lot transpired behind my back <EG> | |||
<<RPG>><br> | |||
>Captain Krazny spoke up. "I disagree. I think the STENNIS, with its better<br> | |||
>sensors, should go in. I can detect them at longer range, and chase them<br> | |||
>out. But perhaps you are right. How about this: The STENNIS and the<br> | |||
>INDEPENDENCE go in, and the SHERMAN and the EAGLE move to the far side of<br> | |||
>the Nebula, and we'll chase them through. Like a hammer against an anvil."<br> | |||
Jade considered Krazny's thoughts carefully. What he had said made a lot | |||
of sense, especially seeing the damage the Eagle had taken. If the Stennis | |||
and Independence could somehow get the rebels to run then the Eagle and | |||
Sherman could gun them down at the other end. The only problem was it | |||
sounded all too easy, and not something that the Feynman's First Officer | |||
would have set up for a Command test. She was distracted by a junior | |||
officer who piped up. | |||
"Captain, I've picked up something urgent for you." | |||
Jade apologised to her comrades for the interruption and made here way | |||
quickly to the young officers station. He gestured nervously at the little | |||
sensor input they were getting. | |||
"Sir, we're receiving an increase in neutrino pulse waves coming from the | |||
Nebula. It would be nothing unusual but I've run a recent history scan past | |||
the computer. Apparently more than 40 ships have been attacked in this area | |||
within the last 5 years. Most were just fired upon, however a few were | |||
destroyed." | |||
"Carry on," Jade nodded seriously, realising there must be a reason for | |||
her having been called away from the joint transmission. | |||
"The mystery pirate causing the damage reputedly has cloaking capability | |||
to avoid detection. Reports from those attacked also suggest it is a | |||
massive ship, and has an incredible grunt of firepower. Back to the logs, | |||
we've just been installing some new Vulcan scanning software to make up for | |||
our defficient sensors and the moment they went on line they picked up an | |||
anomoly." The officer gestured to the screen. | |||
"It was only there for a few seconds but it was long enough for the | |||
sensors to pick up. The computer gives it a 45% chance of being a sensor | |||
shadow, 20% that it's an asteroid from the belt and a 13% probability that | |||
it's a ship it the middle of decloaking." | |||
"13% is fairly slim, Ensign," Jade commented. | |||
"That's not all sir," the science officer continued to justify his | |||
findings. "The computer has come up with two very recent incidents near | |||
this system and I've plotted a trajectory that, assuming they continue | |||
roughly in the same direction, would place them near our present position. | |||
I think that would significantly raise the chances that the pirate is in the | |||
Nebula." | |||
Jade thought quickly to herself for a brief moment. The science officers | |||
conclusions were quite valid and if so, were cause for reasonable concern. | |||
She turned to see her First Officer Shog behind her looking over her shoulder. | |||
"Advice, Number One?" | |||
"If the cloaked pirate is in the Nebula, it seems more than just a | |||
coincidence that the Bajoran rebels have recently entered. Perhaps the | |||
Bajorans are running supplies for the vessel, or alternatively that the | |||
cloaked vessel acts as a mothership supplying them. I advise caution." | |||
"And which reputable First Officer doesn't," Jade grinned at his comment. | |||
Caution could never be criticised, but could always be praised if something | |||
came of it. "We'll go to Red Alert." She moved back to her chair and | |||
addressed her fellow Captains and began to relay the findings... | |||
Respectfully submitted<br> | |||
Ensign Jade Sr'qwon<br> | |||
<<NRPG>> | |||
Hunting down some Bajoran rebels seemed a little easy, so I decided to come | |||
up with something on the spur of the moment that is a more than just a | |||
little *more* challenging for four Feynman class vessels! <EG> | |||
