[8:49][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The shot opens on the Pilgrim, sporting ugly but effective patches across her hull as she moves slowly away from the Citadel, accompanied by a handful of other Dawn Alliance ships. As they move..
[8:49][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:past the swarm of refugees still waiting to be admitted to the Citadel, T'Pang's log can be heard as a voice over... *

[8:55][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm, are we in position yet?
[8:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She strode onto the bridge with a shiny combadge pinned to her civilian clothes.
[8:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle any thing from the fleet commander?
[8:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Four minutes to position, Captain. Lot of traffic.
[8:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain tactical update
[8:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"well try not to hit anything.
[8:56][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor quietly is looking over sensors.
[8:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"What have you got for me Mister Aquila?
[8:57][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We have most of our combat capability back, ventral port phasers arrays have been deactivated and hull plated
[8:57][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:So we have a 60 degree blind spot there in defensive and offensive fire
[8:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "We'll try and keep that pointed at the lizards, then.
[8:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--sighs-- "I guess I set my hopes too high.
[8:58][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Unfortunately repairing that part fo the ship would require 5 months in a spacedock
[8:58][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"What is the status of our shields?
[8:58][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Back to full
[8:58][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"well that is one good thing.
[8:59][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Defensively we are at fulls tength, offensively and couterbarrage is where we are lacking
[8:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We will just have to make do with what we have..
[8:59][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I the main issue is the sheer amount of fabrication that is suddenly needed since we can't request spare parts from the milky way
[9:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Surely you'll be able to work with the others of your Alliance?" *She looked at Aquila.
[9:00][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Its more a matter of time Ain
[9:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "if this keeps up we will have to move over to a Kzari cruiser, at least we know we can get parts for those.
[9:01][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Replication can happen but with so many ships damaged and so many refuges those replicators capable of doing so are busy with lifesaving components
[9:01][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Science sensors working well for now... a ton of traffic from Kirtas.
[9:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Of course. The Imperium strikes too rapidly and with too much force to be sustained; it's their main strategy beside terror.
[9:01][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Mostly refugee if i had to guess
[9:02][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Blitzkrieg
[9:02][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:AN old human term
[9:02][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Let us hope it is more liek the originators of the term's ability to implement than the old United States
[9:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "We're in position, Captain, time to see if slipstream's working or if it'll slingshot us to Tanausa again.
[9:02][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes... which means that if the Kirtascans are dug down deep...
[9:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...right...
[9:03][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"hello Vernon, I'm expecting things to get very busy soon in medical. Can I get 3 of your todays specials to go, got to feed the ladies right?

[9:05][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Mister Sulok, let's fire up that slipstream drive
[9:06][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well Mister Aquila if chance puts us into position to drop a tricobolt on the Tansuan capital, I assure you that is what we will do.
[9:06][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sulok] "I assume you do not mean set it on fire, Lieutenant.
[9:06][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:It is a...human turn of phrase, Mister Sulok
[9:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She couldn't help but grin.
[9:06][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:You can blame them for that one
[9:06][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li starts powering it up.
[9:06][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"At least with so many ships on our side of space, getting home should be easier this time around.
[9:06][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to T'Ghor-
[9:07][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Excellent I have already tasked armor with marking all the warheads with messages
[9:07][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:To boost morale of course
[9:08][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "An opportuity for the weapons crews to exercise thier creativity.
[9:09][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Chuckles slightly at the thought of slim pickens riding the bomb brought about by Marcus'a comment.
[9:10][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Precisely
[9:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I hope you spare them the sensitivity training if they write anyrthing unbecoming.
[9:10][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I stand roman, We invented written vulgarity
[9:11][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I assure you T'Ghor I will turn a blind eye to anything they write on the ordenance.
[9:11][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we don't have time for sensitivity training right now.
[9:11][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Chuckles and nods to T'pang.
[9:12][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Dali was given her orders.
[9:12][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"and Ihave little sensitivity for the Imperium right now.
[9:12][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The slipstream drive purred right to life.

[9:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Aye cap'n.
[9:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Then you may engage.
[9:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Through the gates of hell..." *He muttered to himself as he launched them into slipstream.
[9:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Any word on the situation in the Irial system?
[9:16][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The tansusians are formign up whatever they have left to defend it
[9:16][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The irial system is one of the primary shipbuilding worlds of the alliance

[9:17][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Nothing recent? Mister Maura?
[9:17][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm what is our ETA?
[9:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] *He raised a brow.* "We had a vessel go to the Irial system not long ago who said much the same, Captain, I saw no need to add to the report.
[9:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"understood, I just want to know what we are jumping into.
[9:19][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"A shitstorm, Captain.
[9:19][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Maggie, Mreshi, I brought dinner from the mess for us. Just to make sure we won't be working the entire shift without. I'll be in my office with mine for a bit if you need me.
[9:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Fifteen minutes, Captain.
[9:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--exhales-- "the waiting is the hardest part.
[9:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "That's the thing about space. There's a lot of space in it.
[9:21][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, which is why I drive Teeth here crazy constantly asking if we are there yet..
[9:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Hm... seems a lifetime ago since the Kirtascans were boarding our ship and leading an inquisition...
[9:22][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Good times...
[9:22][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Grunts.* "They did right by us on Xert, it's our duty to do the same.
[9:22][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"They are allies now, the rest is water under the bridge...so to speak.
[9:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Or a splattered pope under the tower?
[9:23][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--gives Eren a look-

[9:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Hey, that vid went viral on the holonet... don't blame me.
[9:23][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Chokes a bit on her fish* "Eew, I did not need that image.
[9:23][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It was a damn great meme.
[9:24][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Was nice to see it liv
[9:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "One of my proudest moments as an officer," *she grinned.
[9:24][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:I keep it to use in my highlight reel as wel
[9:25][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:That and the knowledge this all came about becuase they took you hostage -winks at T'Pang- and you toppled their governmen
[9:26][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...It sort of happened by accident.
[9:26][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"She doesn't have a good reputation as a hostage. Just ask that tanausan kid's dad.
[9:26][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i don't particularly care to be held prisoner.
[9:27][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods approvingly.
[9:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Being tied up has its time and its place.
[9:27][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*checks his console
[9:27][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm are we there yet?
[9:28][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"About 10 minutes before we may not get a chance to eat for a while, I'd take advantage ladies." *Dali is going over the medical supply manifest while eating.
[9:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Captain, I told---" *He blinked at his console.* "Oh. Actually, we are.
[9:28][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Put your game faces on people.
[9:29][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor looks at the sensors, trying to get some forewarning of what's coming.
[9:30][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Pilgrim dropped its ugly, scarred mug out of slipstream and glided into a system. They pass between two Kirtascan carriers positioned on the system's outer edges, one which seems to have..
[9:30][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:its own patch job being put in place even as they passed. *
[9:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Hail the Kirtascans.
[9:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "You're on, Captain.
[9:32][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Computer, put the visuals from the channel I'm monitoring on my screen here.* "she decides as she believes, the visual will give valuable understanding.
[9:33][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=/\=This is CAptain T'Pang of the USS Pilgrim, we are here with an Alliance fleet to help in the defense of this system.=/\
[9:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A Kirtascan male with molting grey scales came onto the viewscreen.* "Thank the Protector you've come. Perhaps now we'll be able to save not only Irial, but Sidese as well.
[9:34][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I assure you that is our intention.
[9:35][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Do you have any word on the position of the enemy fleet?
[9:36][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*marcus raises an eyebrow
[9:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] "Yes, the other ship was able to plant a probe in the Kirtas system... we've been monitoring them. They seem to be holding at Kirtas for now, sending occasional attack squadrons to..
[9:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Sidese but leaving us... for last, perhaps.
[9:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--raises and eyebrow-- "...the other ship?
[9:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] "The other Starfleet ship... did you not know?
[9:40][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain
[9:40][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Yes Mister Aquila?
[9:40][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Not to interrupt. But i have a theory the kirstascaans might be able to shed more light on
[9:40][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:As to our enemies potential targets
[9:41][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"If you have a question go ahead and ask.
[9:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] *He tilted his head and licked an eyeball.
[9:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Sidese is an agricultural and mining colony correct. But most importantly it is a mining colony for dilihtium
[9:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Mister Maura is there a Starfleet ship in the area doing recon?
[9:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] "The crystals? Yes, one of the richest mines in the empire is on Sidese.
[9:42][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Tanuasan vessels use advanced projected propulsion to move about the galaxy. But their actual warp reactors run on dilithium. Prowlers, the entire tanuasan doctrine is based on rapid moving hunting
[9:42][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:packs
[9:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] "Yes, Captain... their strategic operation officer is sending me... animated cartoon characters.
[9:43][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And they are extended. Securing sources of dilithium to fuel their expanse may be paramount
[9:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"a Dilithium mine would be a primary target. Both to deny us the resource and to secure it for themselves.
[9:43][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-blinks at the animated cartoon comment
[9:44][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--slowly looks back at Maura-- "did you say animated cartoon characters?
[9:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] "It would explain why they've been hitting Sidese and leaving Irial.
[9:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] "Yes, ma'am.
[9:44][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Perhaps. The issue is that may be what they want us to anticipate
[9:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Valkriss-
[9:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...What?
[9:45][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We are not fighting an enemy unaccustomed to deception
[9:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Clearly they would want both worlds... but if the Imperial spreads your forces thin enough, they'll be able to easily overtake you.
[9:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"So the real battle is figuring out where to mount our defenses.
[9:46][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:No
[9:46][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The real battle is figuring out where they are staging the rapid attack force
[9:46][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And striking it before it can choose a target
[9:47][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Can't be too far away from here... I'll look for any obscuring phenomena nearby, maybe.
[9:47][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor goes on long-range sensors.
[9:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"That is a good idea Mister Aquila, assuming we can find that information.
[9:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I was hopping our kirstascaan allie would ahev such insight on their home turf
[9:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he nodded respectfully to the kritascaan admiral
[9:48][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-looks to the admiral at that
[9:48][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she looks at the screen-- "Admiral would not by any chance have such information?
[9:49][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Computer, run a level 4 diagnostic on the stand alone medical upgrades, I want to make sure we are as ready as we can be.
[9:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] "Obscuring phenomena in the Empire? There are none that come to mind save for some of the giants in our home system.
[9:49][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Bep bop bep bop
[9:50][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That is close enough to mount a quick attack, but you should have caught it by now, no?
[9:50][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:What about a system. One not remarkable an equal distance
[9:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...Mister Maura, I need to contact this USS cartoon character ship.
[9:50][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:from both of these systems. Our enemy need not travel a straight lien for rapid deployment
[9:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] "I can send you star charts, there are quite a few.
[9:51][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"USS cartoon character ship...
[9:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] "...Do you not wish to finish up with your current hail first, Captain?
[9:52][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i do, but I need you and Gayle to find them so I can talk to them next.
[9:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] "I already have them, Captain.
[9:53][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Thank you Mister Maura.
[9:53][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--turns to the Kirtascan admiral-- "Admiral any information you can send us would be most valuable.
[9:53][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:But if they were to attempt to attack a defended system with wormhole we could cause severe damage. SO it is more likely any attack would come from conventional FTL
[9:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] "I'm sending the charts as we speak.
[9:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Got them, Captain.
[9:55][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Thank you Admiral, I will be in touch when we know more.
[9:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] "Protector bless you." *The hail ended.
[9:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"alright Gayle, next...
[9:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The screen changed over to show Marcus Blaine with his jacket unzipped.* "Captain T'Pang, we can't keep running into each other like this.
[9:58][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*to herself* "That explains the cartoon
[9:58][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:".It is agreeable to see you. I need your help.
[9:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We are searching for the Tanasuan staging area.
[9:59][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Say the word. We've just been sitting here waiting for the convoy to show up. Oh! We have scans of Kirtas, too. V'Tira! You shared the probe link, right?
[9:59][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-slowly nods..the cartoon character thing finally making sense as she sees who is on the screen
[9:59][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:[V'Tira] -nods once- and then some sir..as ordere
[10:00][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor grins lightly, but keeps scanning and searching nooks and crannies.
[10:00][DOIC2]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:[Baker] That is part of intel gathering, sir
[10:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"The question is do you have any idea where they are staging for their attack.
[10:00][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:[V'Tira] They should now have full PERV aces
[10:01][DOIC2]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Cathy shakes her head.
[10:01][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...perv...
[10:01][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "They seem to be hunkering down for the time being, or at least putting on the show of..." *He glared at V'Tira off-screen.* "It's just a spy probe, ma'am, no... pervs here.
[10:01][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Persistant evasive reconnaiscance vehicle
[10:02][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*laughs* "Perv access?
[10:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...it doesn't make sense...They are not showing any sign of gearing up to attack the remaining Kirtascan systems?
[10:03][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Unless that isn't the attack force
[10:03][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:That is the hold kirta force
[10:03][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Putting on a show of hunkering down. They seem to be building something in orbit, but it doesn't sit right with me either.
[10:03][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:They could have slipped an attack force in to wait
[10:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i fear that may be the case Mister Aquila, but if that is so then we have no way of knowing from when or where any attack will come.
[10:04][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I got eyes on no enemies apart from the Kirtas system... somethin's really fucky.
[10:04][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "And there's another question. Where's the wormhole they used to slip in and attack?
[10:04][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain if I could have ain and eren join me in the Astrometrics lab I might be able to get your a guess
[10:04][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:IT may be already gone
[10:04][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:They could have slipped in during the mass attack made for their rally point and simply gone dark waiting
[10:05][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:IF kirta went poorly they have a fall back position that is well defended to pivot attack if it succeeds
[10:05][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Wouldn't put it past them.
[10:05][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Go ahead Mister Aquila, while we have the Manta available we can use them to scout out any guesses we have.
[10:05][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:They press after we counter attack
[10:05][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:and have us in a flank
[10:05][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Yes captain
[10:05][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he called up brak to take the guns and headed down
[10:06][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Ain, Eren with me
[10:06][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "I had a few ideas there. They could be using the Erebus Expanse, the Styx corridor specifically. There are pockets there as I'm sure you know that could hide a force.
[10:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[AIn] *She strode after Aquila.
[10:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She sashayed after them.

[10:08][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Mister T'Ghor turn your sensors toward this expanse, see if you can detect anything unusual.

[10:10][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And eren i need you to actually analyze the systems as we select them. If hazards are to great it will limit the ability to mobilize
[10:10][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It will help us weed out viable staging systems

[10:12][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Alright, if we make one assumption that we will be moving these forces in during the mass attack and ACCI blindspot. They need to be within a 25 minute maximum propulsion space from both Irial and
[10:12][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Sidese
[10:12][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Ain, this type of swift attack would be primiarily Maruaders and prowlers. and likely sentry link ships correct
[10:12][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Captain Blaine, it might be worth your time to go and check out the expanse.
[10:13][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:[V'Tira] For ease...tell thenm all that data is currently located in the file named "marvin

[10:20][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Captain?
[10:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that would be great Captain Blaine, if we can locate their staging area that opens up the possibility of us attacking there as opposed to trying to guess their next target.
[10:20][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Alright... I'm reading three systems between here and Kirtas with a gas giant that fits those parameters.

[10:24][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Eren do you see this. The prowlers paths always took them past this system

[10:26][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Why is the planet not showing an orbital path
[10:27][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "I don't think it's orbiting at all. It looks like it's stuck in the middle of a trinary star system.

[10:28][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "If someone's hull could withstand the pressures, it'd be a hell of a hiding spot.
[10:28][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:A maruader group headed to sidese... when they reached this system the prowlers are all that went forward
[10:28][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:25 minutes at high warp from either system or rienforcing Kirta. And that hide a wormhole where we couldn't have detected it

[10:35][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Us
[10:36][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Initiative is what determines victory
[10:36][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Which is precisely this attack will succeed. we need to alert the captian and the kirtascaan admirals
[10:36][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Eren can you ready a presentation quickly in teh copnference room
[10:37][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "You think we have time for a presentation?
[10:37][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Just put the system up and some ships i'll talk people through it
[10:37][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Suppose I can do that.
[10:37][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I want the kirtascaan admirals thoughts as well as captain t'pangs
[10:38][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he nodded ot ain they headed for the bridge
[10:38][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*as if to say ain should follow
[10:38][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She followed.
[10:38][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*in the turbolift* Bridge
[10:38][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Swoosh.
[10:38][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Aquila entered the bridge. Captain
[10:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"find anything interesting? Was Marvin helpful?
[10:39][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:May i speak with you in the ready room for a moment
[10:39][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Yes we did
[10:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Sure. Valkriss you have the bridge.
[10:40][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain
[10:41][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"What have you got for me Mister Aquila?
[10:41][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I belkeive we found the system. KSS-230 Not even mapped with an alliance designation. it is an Equa mass equadistant trinary star system shredding a lone gas supergiant
[10:42][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And I believe we need to take the initiative to attack. But i wanted to have you have the information entirely to yourself first
[10:43][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We need a win, and this may be a hard fought one but Iniative is on our side. IF we jump in in force. disrupt and attack and force a retreat. We could save these two ssytems bbut we could also put
[10:43][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:a much needed pause on the advance
[10:43][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, and I concur with your assessment. We should attack. But, the best I can do is present the findings to the fleet for them to decide.
[10:43][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:But we would need to do this with much of the kirtascaan force
[10:44][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I suggest we do that in person here and limited to kirtascaan admiralty While the manta attemtps a stealth reconnaisance of the system
[10:44][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"It would likily require a bulk of the fleet.
[10:44][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And I suggest we see if we can't make some of those rocks in the asteroid belt look liek kistrascaan ship
[10:45][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i see, to make it look as if there is still a sizable fleet here?
[10:46][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Probles with signature balloons perhaps, yes. Then we attack
[10:46][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I will need you and Eren to explain your findings to the fleet admirals.
[10:47][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Yes captain, I'd suggest having our command staff there as well
[10:47][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"right, we can use the conference room.
[10:47][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And T'ghor, the astroid problem will be one he may want to think on
[10:48][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"right, that sounds like something he might enjoy.

[10:56][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The Kirtascan admiral appeared on holo.
[10:56][DOIC2]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li walks in.

[10:59][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] "I am here, Captain.
[11:00][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Admiral, I called you because we believe we have worked out the position of the Tanasauan IMperial fleet. The location where they are staging for there final assault on your systems.

[11:03][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Wouldn't the gravitic powers be too strong for extended stays there?
[11:03][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:This hypothesis was confirmed due to the kirtascaan and Manta's data on tanusuan fleet movements over the course of the past week.
[11:04][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And yes T'ghor that is why time is a factor, they can stay there forever
[11:04][DOIC2]Dalliance@Gonz.:"They can pull off wormholes stable and generated, why couldn't they have a pocket of safe space in the middle of that maelstrom.
[11:05][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It is 25 minutes by warp from this system and coicidently kirta and sidese
[11:05][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Unfortunatley that is to much time to be detected with a surprise attack
[11:05][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:So as such here is the suggested battle plan
[11:06][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:USS Manta will perform a stealth reconassaicne of the system relaying a short message confirming fleet locaiton
[11:06][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Once we have the confirmation a task force of these 25 kirtascaan vessels will follow the pilgrim a slipcorridor in close trail formation. to the target immediately prosecutin gthe attack
[11:07][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And the the same tiem the Kirtascaan fleet in its entirety will warp and maximum speed to reinforce in the 25 minute window

[11:08][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:W eneed to find a way to make them beleive that you have not really left
[11:08][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And for that. The yanda science ships will be needed

[11:10][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The yanda ships can be our control center for the "Fleet".
[11:10][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The Second proble is an engineering one. Carrying 25 shisp behind the pilgrim in slipstream has not been done, Lt Zorin's team will need to work on a way to link your ships to ours so that our

[11:12][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes, Doctor, but we also have to keep to a general "Shape" of the ships, which is why we'll need two probes per ship... one will deal with the holographic issue, the other the power signatures.
[11:12][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] "How much time do we have before your intended attack?
[11:12][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Eren how long do you estimate those ships can stay there given the observed stress and estimating from the assumed arrival point
[11:12][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"The ssoner we attack the less prepared they will be.
[11:13][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"The ssoner we attack the less prepared they will be.
[11:13][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I have to imagien the probing misisons are actually to reduce stress on the lighter vessel hulls
[11:13][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "I doubt they have more than four hours remaining before they'll be forced to make a move.
[11:13][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"How long do we need to get everything in place?
[11:14][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:No longer than 3 hours 58 minutes
[11:15][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We need to cut that time down. We have to assume they will launch their attack within four hours.
[11:15][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Looks to T'Pang.* "With the kirtascan fleet's aid, we could get the asteroids done.

[11:17][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Admiral I would like to mount our attack with in the next two hours.
[11:18][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] "Our fleets will be ready.
[11:19][DOIC2]Dalliance@Gonz.:"We might want to offload non-essential personnel from their ships going into that system. The pressures might cause failures in our own ships, and having non-combatants out of harms way will do well
[11:19][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we will have everything in place. My engineers will be in touch with your people with regards to the slipstream modifications.
[11:20][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] "...What is a nonessential personnel?
[11:20][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:One question
[11:20][DOIC2]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Any refugees you may be carrying?

[11:20][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*waits for t'pang to address her
[11:20][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] "We are warships. The refugees are on the planet.
[11:20][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"only one question Valkriss?
[11:21][DOIC2]Dalliance@Gonz.:*nods
[11:21][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:Yes Captain..somethingjust occured to me...do we have any assests in range or..as silly as this may sound in the Kirtas system
[11:22][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:We may need a scarfricial goat as it were..to pin down the Command Carrier while we do thi
[11:22][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Not that I am aware of Valkriss, but then again no one tells me anything.
[11:22][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:IF we had such an asset and it attempted to take out the command carriers communication ndoe
[11:22][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:They need not be fully sucessful..just harress them long enoug
[11:22][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It could cut any response
[11:22][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:Indeed...we should check
[11:22][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "I only know of the PERV probe.
[11:23][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Maura
[11:23][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] "...The what?
[11:23][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Commander, no offence...
[11:23][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"But do you expect a ship to magically pop up that not even the PERV saw?
[11:23][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"A friendly one?
[11:23][DOIC2]Valkriss@Isis:I do niot..perhaps even one in slipstream range that is not on a battlefield alread
[11:23][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Mister Maura you are supposed to be my Strat Ops guy?
[11:24][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:nothing that we could see in the available reports

[11:24][DOIC2]Dalliance@Gonz.:*covers her mouth, in thought
[11:24][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it might change if you don't contribute some.
[11:24][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Maybe the Manta stands a chance? Small, surgical strikes and fast getaways are more their thing... do we have someone else who may scout out the colon system?
[11:24][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The screen below the admiral's started buzzing.
[11:25][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We will need them in the battle
[11:25][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] "I'm not sure what you expect me to do, magically conjure one of our ships out of thin air?

[11:36][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's just how she does, Admiral.
[11:37][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kirtascan] "Right. Well. I will pray for her.
[11:37][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"The only thing you need to understand is that she is going to run interference for us with the command carrier, keep them busy while we launch our attack..

[11:41][DOIC2]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Alright, letting you know before hand, if we take on Kirtascan casualties, send them straight to the holodecks. I'm going to set them up to handle their physiologies in advance.
[11:41][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Zorin Li, you and your people need to work on any modification we need to have to make sure the slipstream tunnel can be maintained for us and the Kirtascan ship that will be travelling with us.
