USS FEYNMAN: Gearing Up

by Andrew Catterick 2-1-1997

SD: 90201.0930
MD: 1.1300
Scene: Holodeck

Husnock were here, you brought back proof of that yourselves. I want you to go back in and find if they had a base or any other ships. Since they liked to build large maybe we can salvage something. See if you can bypass the pirate involvement but don't fail to defend yourself if you encounter hostile forces." He looked to Maril "The train to Dumro."

Maril nodded slowly. A strike at supply lines would distract a force that might have an upper hand otherwise. But this kind of mission was a going against fleet intent. The Admiral was lending aide while sticking to the letter of the orders but he was distorting the meaning.

Zane couldn't help but smile at that. A trip back into the sack was going to be dangerous but he found that somewhat appealing. Perhaps having his hands tied in the encounter with the Reavers made him all the more eager. Besides, he thought, as she proved the last time, FEYNMAN was built for the hostile environment of the sack. And, he noted with an almost smug satisfaction, for disrupting SLOCs.

"So it is mapping and scavenging for you right now. I know it may seem a little boring compared to the other ships but I am sure your people could use the rest. As a matter of fact you might want to leave some behind for extended R&R while you do this little errand." Grey eyes met those of Captain Zane. There was a second meaning to the suggestion.

The admiral was probably right on that. Zane's initial reaction was to order all civilian's off the ship. But before he spoke Meleah broke in. "Captain will you be ordering civilians off the ship?"

In the background Bat cleared his throat but appeared to be engrossed in clearing up the buffet. He generally did not remain during the meetings but with the admiral here his curiosity must have got the better of him. He'd need Bat aboard if only to keep 10-Forward running smoothly. But he couldn't play favorites.

"We've been through dangerous missions before but this one could be a little more so. Ironically, all the civilians aboard are relations of each of you so I will leave it up to you to decide your individual case. I would 'suggest' that civilians do not remain aboard for this trip. However I will not be ordering my relation off.

"Your damn right you won't be." Came the reply from the buffet.

Zane turned to the admiral. "Will there be anything else sir?"

"No captain you and your people have a mission to get to. And I have some pressing business as well." They all stood.

"Very well, Commander we'll get under way at 1600 hours."

"Aye sir."

As the officers filed out of the room which had changed back to the black and yellow holodeck grid Zane grabbed Meleah's arm and pulled her closer. "Do you have a complete recording of this meeting?"

"Of course sir." She replied somewhat puzzled.

"See that you don't lose it."

<<<NRPG>>>

Short and to the point!;) Lets get back out there!

Kevin: We were in the sack the mission before you arrived. If you haven't already done so you may want to read the mission summary on the web page http://homepage.interaccess.com/~sgant/feynman.htm

(I'm going from memory, is that right Kris?)

Of course feel free to post reactions to the briefing, ask questions etc. Unfortunately I'm leaving for work so I wanted to make sure we were rolling after keeping us around for so long....

Respectfully, Andy-->Wondering why he always has to go to work when things get going:(

USS FEYNMAN: Starting the Search

by Jason Bostjancic 2-1-1997

SD: 90201
MD:1.1310
Scene: Outside Holodeck

Although it was a hard thing for the CEO to do, he had suppressed his inquisitive nature regarding the Husnock technology when the Feynman was sent away from their find during the last mission.

But, as Tarrant slowly fizzled from his stunned nature during the lift trip, that curiosity began to invade once again. The possibility of their being a Husnock Base... But if the Feynman was to find it, or any remnants of it, they'd need some insight.

"Stop Lift... Take me to the Bridge"

........

Scene: Bridge

A slightly quizzical Zane turned to see the who the arrival was. "What brings you to the Bridge, Lieutenant..*Commander*?"

The title still seemed odd. "Sir, before we break dock I'd like to see if we can get as much information as possible from Epsilon that's been cataloged from our Husnock ship's database."

"Anything in particular?"

"Star charts. From what I saw when we loaded up our core last time, the ship was full of data."

Zane's brow scrunched, "I doubt that we could carry too much of that data without filling our banks again, Mr. Koreth."

Tarrant nodded, "Yes, sir. That's why I'd like to limit it to nebula's or anything that we can define as being in the area. We might find something to at least lead us to the right direction."

"I can put in the request." nodded Zane thoughtfully, "but I'm not sure what you'll find."

...............

<NRPG>

Just a short one to get some gears turning. Perhaps the Sciences or Navigation would be interested in going over some of the charts?

Not that Jerran needs any extra-navigational aids, but It could help just in case he gets stuck into a shuttle with a new promotee... hmmm.

>Anyway, it sounds like an interesting mission. Let's get going. BTW, does >this mean instead of chemistry, I have to sound knowledgable about stellar >creation????

<G> I think as Chief Science Officer they expect you to know everything :) This is were NPC deligation comes in. You know all the best managers are so good because they now how to deligate responsibility :):)

USS FEYNMAN: Leads?

by Andrew Catterick 2-2-1997

SD: 90202.2200
MD: 1.1315
Scene: Access Hatch

With the meeting adjourned Zane escorted the admiral to the main access tube leading back into EPSILON. Both men, lost in thought, proceeded in silence. For his part, Zane went over various alternatives for best exploring the sack and finding a likely place for a Husnock base to hide, assuming there even was one. And that just might be a pretty weak assumption. He looked down absently at the computer chip that the admiral had handed him as they had rode in the turbolift. Apparently Mason, the pirate turned spy, that they had found on the pirate base had been fulfilling his part of the bargain Zane had offered. He just hoped the information Mason had provided would be useful.

"Well Captain you have quite a task ahead of you." The admiral said as they both came to a halt at the access way. The two marine sentries snapped to attention as they noticed Nicholas' presence.

"Anything else would be boring." Zane replied with a cocky smile he certainly didn't feel. "We won't let you down sir." He offered more earnestly.

With a nod the admiral turned and made his way down the gangway. Zane watched him go and promised himself again that if anyone was ever crazy enough to offer him an admiral's flag he'd run away screaming. All the pressure, all the decisions, all the blame and little thanks. It just didn't seem fair.

________________________

The turbolift doors parted to reveal a bustling bridge, not a rare scene on the FEYNMAN but certainly not standard for a ship in port. But only in port for two more hours and as always the promise of a new mission always served to energize the crew like little else.

"Commander, I'd like you to go over this file. Our friend Mr. Mason has provided us with some information, very little by the looks of it, on ship movements inside the sack. Cross reference it with our scans of the sack as well as SILVER's database and see if you can pinpoint likely places to find some supply lines to disrupt."

"Yes sir." The OPS officer replied. Zane tried hard not to laugh at the look on her face. She hadn't even seen the information but she had already guessed that looking for a needle in a very large haystack would be easier. Much easier. To her right Jerran chuckled quietly.

Behind him the turbolift doors parted and Zane turned to see LCDR Koreth emerge. So close to a launch and the CEO was not polishing the engines? That did seem strange.

<<Insert Jason's post here.))

The captain relaxed into his chair feeling a little more confident in the immediate future. With Krysa following one set of leads and Tarrant pursuing another they might even have a reasonable guess as to a destination before they arrived at the sack.

And what more could he ask for?

<<<NRPG>>>

Kevin: I've been racking my brains as to a description of the Xanthandi but I can't remember if we even had one. Unfortunately I can't keep past files:( Basically they are a warrior race that, if I remember correctly, are an offshoot of the Kzin. Essentially they have been hanging out in the sack locked in factional fighting but recently they have unified which is bad news for those who border the sack...SILVER and Kzin.

...someone please fill in any blanks and make any corrections.

Respectfully,
Andy
