"More so Lt. We stand to gain two things from this. First, the Xanthandi | |||
know more about the Coalsack area of space than we do. Capturing one of | |||
their ships and then taking it back to their supply depot could gain us a | |||
wealth of info about the area and shorten our time to search for a Husnock | |||
base. Secondly, if we take a captured freighter back to their supply | |||
depot and then sabotage the depot itself, the Xanthandi offense in this | |||
area of space will suffer tremendously." | |||
Now, it was Zane's turn, "Sabotage? How could we accomplish this?" | |||
Loren retrieved a PADD from his pocket. "Nanites sir. Place them on the | |||
freighter and then take that ship back to the supply depot, infect it, and | |||
the Xanthandi will have a lot more to worry about than attacking the Federation." | |||
Zane sat rubbing his chin in thought. | |||
Loren took this opportunity to add one more thing. "The Xanthandi | |||
respect power and with a major supply depot inoperable, they'll know we | |||
have a power they should respect. I realize that this | |||
will be a very risky operation sir. That's why I'd like to volunteer for | |||
this mission, if you feel it is necessary."<br> | |||
</I> | |||
"Okay. The basics of your idea are sound but there are two things | |||
that needed to be worked out. Its a good thing your a diplomat ensign." | |||
The captain said with a faint smile. | |||
"Sir?" | |||
"The nanites could be a problem. Ever since Picard's ENTERPRISE | |||
established them as sentinent beings we haven't really been able to 'use' | |||
them, for lack of a better word for anything they do not agree with. So | |||
for this part of your plan you are going to have to contact the planet | |||
they were given to colonize, Kavis Alpha IV, and receive permission from | |||
theri ruling council. We'll be inside the sack in 3 and half days and out | |||
of communication. It'll take just about that long to send a message there | |||
and receive a reply so I'd get moving." | |||
"If you receive the nanities permission you're also going to have | |||
to persuade Dr. Glin'kharr to let you even tell 'his' nanites about it. I | |||
can't see the good doctor being thrilled about losing them, whether their | |||
homeworld agrees to it or not." | |||
"Next," Zane continued, "I want you both to draw up contingency | |||
plans for disabling any supply depot we might come across without any loss | |||
of life on either side. As I told Lt. Jerran, we are not officially at | |||
war and I will only go so far until we are. Of course by then we might be | |||
in the middle of a big shooting match so keep the plans fluid until we are | |||
ready to undertake them." | |||
Zane stood. "Well, Mr. Jerran it seems you have your first | |||
volunteer and a mission to plan. Keep me aprised. And make sure you | |||
discuss team personnel with Commander Maril. Our primary mission is still | |||
exploring the rumoured Husnock base in their. If it is there Koreth will | |||
find it and I want to make sure Commander Maril has everyone he needs for | |||
his team." | |||
"Understood sir." | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Well, this should solidify the idea of two sub plots. One group | |||
disrupting supply lines and possibly a base while the other gets to | |||
explore the Husnok installation. And then there will be poor Zane with a | |||
ship full of NPCs. Maybe I'll find a supply line or two of my own to | |||
disrupt. <EG> | |||
Joesph/Kevin: Well it seems you have some planning to do. What the | |||
eventual mission will be is up to you guys as long as it means alot of | |||
disruption for the bad guys! | |||
Kris: I'm sure Zane would love a Banana Split as long as he is back in his | |||
ready-room at 2300 hours to meet with Jerran. | |||
