CO's Ready Room

[Captain Julius Delor]

the delta reticuli system closing outside his ready room window siluatting the light from the bajoran ciivilian transports while going over the status reports and reviewing the lists of crewmen these people would take time to get familier with thankfully he had a first officer to handle things like that. smirking his mind running over former rosters from former assignments. on board the Concord things were simpler the prion the humans of course the klingon Brinnea who he had almost forgotten till his current first officer stood there on the bridge that first day disturbing how the mind of a cardassian heals itsslef with time but it only takes a fracture to tear a rift wide open once more. remembering the way she fought so bravely next to the rest of the Concords bridge crew even when theend was so near never surrendering always venturing bravely forward thru injury pain of death and test of fire, never fearing always looking to him for protection and guidance in those days the crew was easier to manage things were simpler and his mind rarely wandered over the past as his mind seems to wander ofer the past all the time these days.

captains log stardate 65759.31 " en route for federation space to escprt the remaining colonists to the new system of delta reticuli curious guests these bunch of Bajorans not even the courtesy to accept invitations for assistance simple navigarional help or to even eat a meal aboard the Trevious honestly I estimate there is something behind this or perhaps they are simply a ship load of xenophobes those religious type always are complicated proceeding to phase two should be intercepting with the next batch of five ships in the line up the project spearheaded by an accompanying bajoran warship this time for a little tighter security judging from out mishap in the nebula last time that would be advisable at least they could assist in coralling everyone in the right direction." close logs file and dispatch to starfleet. closing the com on his desk and looking as the starfield rolls by the same stars he asks himself without thinking if she were looking up and out at the same stars this same evening wondering asking herself where he could be. but he knew that was a pipe dream she hated his guts and he knew it somehow deep down he couldn't help but miss her. several minutes later as Brinneas face faded from the window of his mind the dancing blue and gold of her fading into the distance he finds himself back there that place upon the bridge of the Concord heavy under fire fighters away and the operations manager sticking vigilant to her post despite the insanity and the fleet of tholian vessels unleashing an arsenal of firepower pummeling the ship hammering for a wayt to immobilize them thier Klingon " allies" having fled long before and thier backs against the proverbial wall. somehow even this they could survive thru.

Commanding officers log stardate 65955.79
Starfleet in its infinite wisdom has seen fit to ship general promotion orders prior to our launch I have a few positions worthy of note in light of the recent events. i've sent in special recommendations for Divlo upon his exit and a meritorus service award for Dr Davenport in light of the recent iand sudden outbreak of cardassian hemmoragic fever. starfleet has also seen fit to award me with another silver star for performance." his voice hesitante as his fingers hang over the small flat black box containing one gold pip opening the cover and closing it several times finally hitting his combadge " Lt Commander rekalon report to my ready room at once "

[Captain Julius Delor]

Julius let his eyes wander around his tightly packed yet well organized ready room. as his eyes wandered they focused on a phaser rifle in the corner he remembers that event very well was the first time the federation let him down one among many times the federation let him down. this little hunk of titanium palladium and various metals had traveled several hundred light years across the universe with him it was a reminder that sometimes the best laid plans of mice and men fell along the way and no matter how hard you try sometimes you will simply never reach your goal. the place he remembers well the events as vivid as the high notes flooding from the ships intercom into his ready room. years and years ago a few grey hairs and wrinkles less the image focuses in his mind himself an, andriod, a cardassian female, a hearty corps of marines he ewas wearing the customary yellow and green of a marine escort officer and serving as the MXO of the ship he would later rise to command. the assult came all at once escorting a high level dignitary from the rear from the sides and in front of them ten armed men open fire and pin them into a small cramped storage closet. at least the andriod didnt smell bad the female wasnt to shabby herself. cramped and loud the enemy fire filled the room as Julius tryed to contact the concord for extraction the concord already well out of range for transport on thier way to Degra three for negotions in a colony hostage case . after fighting thier way out of the little locker and clear into the heart of the enemy command center the wait was hell three weeks for thier return. his memory and focus cleared of the thought briefly his mind wandering comparing this situation to the current one standing to exit his ready room for the bridge.

[LtCmdr Deka Rekalan]

Arriving, she pressed the alert and waited to be recognized, smoothing her scowl into a more neutral expression.

[Captain Julius Delor]

-julius the old battle warn gul fixed a hard scowl on his face- enter- as the doors tothe ready room flew open- so intresting to see you.. as you can tell my shuttle just arrived... i'd perfer noone have a clue i've arrived yet... I see a report regarding some rift?_julius would shurg slightly at the word- your official report would be helpful Deka.. - concealing the material form his meeting regarding clasified details section the onlty visiable word as he flashed it under his jacket and took a seat- care for some tea? brandy? pick your poison and tell me more.

[LtCmdr Deka Rekalan]

"Official? By official do you mean anything that might been withheld from the one sent to Starfleet Command but might be of interest to you?" She took a seat, acknowledging the file as it was displayed and then hidden away again with a discreet glance of her own. "I'm afraid there isn't much to add. If I could, I would have hunted down that Iconian device for our own uses but the facts suggest that it was split into three pieces and shared among the rogue groups currently terrorizing the fleet. Whatever they've done with it has destabilized it and each time it's used, one of these anomalies occurs. Now that HQ has the report, I expect they'll figure out what's happening as well and we'll see an end to these attacks. Red leaf tea please and perhaps add a little brandy to it." She flashed a brief smile. "However, I suspect you've brought much more interesting news."

She took a the sip of the drink when it was handed to her, looked slightly surprised at the result of mixing the two together, then took another sip, clearly satisfied.

[Captain Julius Delor]

finishing the chain withdrawling his hand and reaching under his jacket for the PADD with the meeting data on it smirking over the top- where to begin? section 31 toomk it upon themselves ot investigate the terrorist group called trinity during the little crisis and were able to crack out certain infiltrators on cardassia I was assisting in the coordination of section 31 agents to infiltrate romulius and cardassia agents geared towards information gathering and reconnisance.. those teams were able to uncover deeper plots some even against the rogue organizations they supported and the heart of the alliances themselves.. hell certain cardassian agents even had plots against thier fellows a little creative climbing to the top if you ask me.." Julius would spend a few moments scanning the information- and in other news.. the section 31 and daystrom research teams have come up with a solution for the rift anomolies some experience traveling thru the galactic core... tragically the prottype is still a few months away for mfinal production and atthe momnt the size of a dreadnaught cruiser class . shakes his head science... sometimes so close sometimes o far away." sippig his tea whilethinking out loud.."either way it was morethan a simple powwoow of the science counsil.. advances in biomemetic gels for frountline marine troopers phuysics advances for high tech navigation models a treastie on the benefits of marines actually showering even . flippingthe imaginary pages.. a little bit her on upgrading the fighter classes and adding a survellance drone models several intrssting air to ground combat methodoligies.. really more of a section 31 finest of the fine show off and science fair

[LtCmdr Deka Rekalan]

"Show and tell is all very nice but what are they sharing? Is there anything that's found it way off that page and into your hands yet? Anything that might be useful for the coming mission for example? Why drag you off to a science fair and send you home empty handed unless it's only to bait you.

Where exactly is all this leading?"She let her tea stand for the moment, watching his expressions.

[Captain Julius Delor]

all this is leading to shuttle bay three chekc the inventory I've not returned the shuttle I left with.. I'm sure the docking officer is rather confused as to its origin when we make it back to starbase234 I'll be acquiring three more of the same orbital tactical fighters" standing and clearing his throat grabbing more brandy . if you would care to follow me i'm sure I can explain what all the science fair bull is about and what lovely secrets section 31 gave me this go around ... and then we can discuss a little more.. intresting matter" his face would screw up woith that same scowl the message he just recieved still stuuck in his mind and milling over and over in the strange tongue of unknown origins.

[LtCmdr Deka Rekalan]

Determining everything was well in hand, including the bottle that Delor continued to brandish, Deka nodded her assent and waited for him to take the lead.

[Captain Julius Delor]

smirking slightly Delor simply tapped the small flat control around his wrist touching Dekas shouldero t pull ehr along forthe transport process directly into the new bonsai tactical fighter the panels flashing and glitching in the half light of the powered down vessel... "these are the new shuttles this is where the future is going.. self contained small heavily armed.. gigantic science database ecologicaly congtrolled warp speeds sustainable for 15 days at warp 7.3 emergency speeds reaching warp 9 .. _julius walks around the well appiinted yet small bridge- this fighter is about twice teh size of the usual Freedom fighter or the perigrines on older ships.. -pulling up a gridwork of the ships specs .... the displays flasing the five quantum launchers the rail guns mounted o nteh sides the rotating rocket launcher and three independant oerated drones.. only small bvessel in teh fleet that can land enter a planets atmosphere fight out maniuver dog fight if needed and be used as a deep recon vessel and science platfrom and still fit in a shuttle bay... hell theres even room for a squad of marines and molded cupholders feell feel free to look around I still can;t show the crew.. well officially at least
