" im always this way sir, im just really eager, i want to pass and get my commision as an officer sir "
"I know sir, but he has impressed me in those few hours, and I was wondering if it would be possible for him to stay on as my apprentice? And he would be off your hands at the DSA. You would be free to concentrate on other matters."
"Yes, cadet. Very good. Now, I have some work to catch up on and I think that it is time we took a break from training. You may work on the computer program in the Meeting Office, if you like. I will call you back when I think it's time to continue. You are dismissed, cadet"
*OOC: I'm going offline now. Work on the program in the Meeting Office if you want to. I'll be back online tomorrow. See ya*
" i would reluctantly follow the captains orders, but i would ask that they note my objection in the ships log "
"16.4 seconds will be fine cadet. We don't need it to be dead on 15 seconds. And besides, the officer's response time will be different each time. I'm sure in the heat of the moment, the reactions of either of us will increase"
"Computer, lock onto myself and Cadet Scotty and beam us directly to my office"
*The computer beeped and in a few seconds, the two appeared back in Kawolsky's office*
"From what I have seen so far, I'm sure that you will"
*Kawolsky sits down in his chair and passes a PADD over the desk*
"These questions are designed to test your knowledge of the information contained in the Security/Tactical database. I would like to see if you have studied it at all."
*The PADD reads:*
===== QUESTIONS =====
1) What does Security Access Code BETA-ONE mean?
2) What Security Access Code would the Commanding Officer have?
3) What does ''Level One Data Access'' mean?
4) What is ''Fractal Encryption''?
5) Give one scenario when the Captain would order a ''Red Alert.''
6) What is 'Blue Alert''?
7) What is a ''Code 1 Emergency''?
8) What is a ''Code One Alpha Zero''?
9) What Security Clearance Level would Admirals and Commodores have?
10) What Security Access Level would the Tactical Officer have?
===================
"Why do you have such a personal interest in him ?, you havent known him for more then a few hours ?"
* scotty rings the bell, he is told to enter *
" sorry sir but i thought of a way to increase the readyness of our defenses. if we send a signal to the on duty marine officer as well as our security forces, we could have more people ready for engagement within the 15 second time frame, what do u think sir? "
" there has to be some way we can shave off time. i msorry sir im getting to wrapped up in this, im forgetting my training "
"OK then. Your Captain says that you are imagining things that arn't there and orders you to stop investigating this new species. What would you do then?"
*Post any security issues here*
"Very well. After this I will introduce you to MY CO, General Newberry, and then I will tell you what I want you to do for me."
*Kawolsky hands Haynes a padd with questions on.
"Please complete these"
*The padd reads:*
===== QUESTIONS =====
1) What does Security Code ''Alpha - One'' mean?
2) What Security Clearance Level would the Chief Medical Officer have?
3) What does ''Level Three Data Access'' mean?
4) What is a ''Phase One Search''?
5) Give one scenario when the Captain would order a ''Red Alert.''
===================
* scotty sits down, he takes anotehr look around the office, he felt anxious, like he had doen something wrong " you did ok, he even said so, stop worrying " he thought. he then brought his attention to Kawolsky *
"Has Commander Balkazar asked you his ''Admiral at Phaser Point' question, yet?"
"Yes, sir. One moment"
*Kawolsky walks to the door and it swishes open*
"Cadet, you may come back in"
" yes sir i understand, sorry for being so eager "
*Kawolsky hands Scotty a PADD*
"There you are"
It reads:
====== Weapons Questions ======
1) How many Phaser MKI's do we have in the Armoury?
2) What is the standard Marine side-arm?
3) IsoMag is an abbrieviation of what weapon?
4) Give one example of when the Vehicle Mounted Phaser Cannon was used.
5) What is the procedure for taking out weapons from the Armoury?
==========================
*OOC: No need to apologise*
* 2 hours later *
* scotty enters the room *
" sorry i took so long sir, i had to re-write a couple of algorithms "
* he gives the PADD to Kawolsky *
" what do u think? "
"I'm glad you are interested in this project but, yes, the reason you are here is to learn so that one day you can become a respectable security officer. There will be time to 'tweak' the program later. For now, the program is fine. There is no immediate or foreseable danger to the base and I don't think trying to shave 1.4 second off of a response time justifies neglecting your training, I hope you agree?"
" i would sir but outside the parameters of an investigation, i would take bio readings off of the transporters and internal sensors, so that i am not officially disobeying the captains orders "
"On stardate 48423.0, the USS Voyager, at the time in the Delta Quadrant, recieved a communication from the former crewman Seska, saying that she had had Chakotays child. This turned out to be a trap and when Voyager investigated, they were attacked by the Kazon and a transporter module is stolen. Captain Janeway (now Admiral) then decided to go after the Kazon and retrive the module. But why would she do that? Why not just give the Kazon what they wanted?"
*Kawolsky re-enters his office and heads for his desk. He turns on his computer*
"Computer, open a subspace communication with Commander Balkazar." he asked the computer
"Channel open" the computer responded
=/\= Kawolsky to Balkazar =/\=
"Hello again, sir. As you know, I have been given the position of Chief of Security here at Starphoenix Base. I am contacting you regarding some 'work experience' for your cadets. I would like to offer this to one or two of your best cadets, that is of course with your agreement. The experience will include studies of security protocols, active security training and weapons handling tests. I hope you will decide to agree to this. I know it will be very beneficial to them. I await your response"
=/\= Channel Closed =/\=
*Kawolsky then gets up and leaves his office*
"I will take the quiz. You have caught my interest with the subject of a job. That is why I chose this path to get right into action"
*Kawolsky notices that Scotty seems a bit apprehensive*
"Relax cadet, you seem...nervous"
" no sir, commander balkazar was jsut about to start my training but was busy "
"Hmmmmm, Get scotty back in here."
"Please take a seat Scotty" Kawolsky asked
"Look, cadet, I know I shouted at you back then, and I apologise but you must understand that in my position I have a lot of responsibility to this base"
* scotty takes the PADD, he starts to enter answers *
1:we have 6 in the armoury
2: the Pulse Pistol is the standard sidearm
3: the Isomagnetic Disintegrator
4:An example of its use is on the Argo Shuttle-Jeep.
5:If you need to take out a weapon from the Armoury, please complete a form, stating your name, rank, weapon taken, quantity and reason for taking out the weapon. Also include a 'Returned'' field and put a yes when you have returned the weapon. Until you return it, put a no in.
"Very well. Come back to me when you have, then we can test the program. Dismissed."
" i concur yes sir, so shall we get back to my training then? "
"Hmmm...I see. OK. You wouldn't even try to find out more about the shape-shifters?"
" beacause if the kazon had access to transpporter technology then they could ahve altered the balance of power in their favour in the kazon society, and starfleet does not give technology to less developed species, it is against the prime directive "
*Enters*
"Haynes here"
LT Kawolsky, im cadet first year scotty, reporting for training Sir!
*Kawolsky smiles*
"Very good cadet. I like your attitude. I wil test you at the end of your training period, but for now we go to the Phaser Range."
*Kawolsky motions for Scotty to follow him. The two exit the office*
*OOC: Post in the Range now*
"Impressive. I am glad that you remembered the Ablative armour and that one Type X Phaser. Now, cadet Scotty, have you ever considered applying for a position on Starphoenix Base?"
"I am glad you are, and no, I would like you to stay"
*Kawolsky looks towards Scotty.*
"Would you excuse us, for one moment, cadet?"
"Very well,m I will test you on handheld weapons. Give me a moment to write the test"
*OOC: Cadet levels are given each week. Real academy time is 4 years, in reality it is more like 4 weeks.*
=/\= scotty here sir, i'll be there shortly =/\=
* scotty walks in *
" im ready for the test sir "
"Yes we will. What is the primary responsibility of a security officer?"
" duly noted sir "
" that was hectic, request permission to go off duty sir "
*Kawolsky looks up towards Crewman Haynes*
"Ah, good to see you Crewman. I have read your report. I see you would like to take a position in Security?"
*OOC: Good job on changing your avatar. I was going to tell you to do it but you tdid it anyway. Good job! Also, try to put a bit more in your posts. Don't worry about it now. You will learn as you gain experience.*
*Kawolsky and the cadet re-entered the office*
"Please take a seat cadet" Kawolsky said, motioning to an empty seat
*Kawolsky turns to Haynes*
"Crewman Haynes, I have a very important assignment for you. A...very important person will be visiting the station and I need to arrange HIGH LEVEL security. I cannot tell you who it is as it is Intelligence Classified, however, perform well in this assignment and there might be something in it for you. Oh, and I know you've been wanting to get straight into the 'action', and this assignment will provide that, however , usually this would not be the case. I am just saying that I need to see you work on small assignments before I can send you into potential hostile situations. If you complete this assignment well, I will fully integrate you into the operations of this base. Do you understand? I am putting you in charge of co-ordinating Base Security for the arrival of a VERY IMPORTANT PERSON. I have confidence in your abilities. Do not let me down."
*OOC: Read the above communication for further details. Just remember that your character does not know all of this yet.*
" i didn't know any where available sir, i would very much like to but i thought i would have to become an ensign first.
" yes sir, thank you sir "
"What did you need Lt. ?"
" yes sir "
(ooc) ok sorry didnt know
"Very well then. I will call you in when the test is ready to begin. You are dismissed for now"
*An hour later*
=/\= Kawolsky to Scotty =/\=
"Report to my office. We are ready to begin the test"
=/\= Kawolsky out =/\=
" the primary responsibility of the security officer is to safeguard citizens of the federation , as well as other crewmembers."
"Sure. Take some time off and get some sleep. We will continue at 1100 Hrs tomorrow"
"That idea would only work assuming that the drones had not adapted to your weapons fire. However, if they have adapted, there will be little point in waiting. The correct answer would be to set your phaser on a rotating pulse modulation. That way , the Borg drones would not be able to adapt to the constant changing of phaser energy. As for sacrificing yourself, that too is a bad idea. You have to remember that you are on a Borg ship, possibly containing several thousand Borg drones. You would not be able to slow the drones down yourself and you would be needlessly sacrificing yourself."
"I am here for that. I did not want the drawn out experience of the classroom so I chose the shortcut of crewman. The feild is a better classroom for me"
OFF: Thank you for the help gesture. But I have plenty of experience already gained. I post what I have to post it isn't always a paragraph. But I go with it.

"You are very keen cadet. We can begin now if you like."
*Kawolsky notices the cadet looking at the model on his desk*
"Do you like it? It is a model of the NX-01 Enterprise, the first Warp 5 capable starship. Anyway, I am sure that the Commander has given you one of his famous ''Pop-Quizzes'' so I won't bore you with another. If you would like, we could take a trip to the Phaser Range. What do you say?"
*OOC: Yes, you will be able to become an officer as you are still technically a cadet attending the DSA. If you want to carry on your training and, when you graduate, join Starphoenix, I would be more than happy to have you as my Security XO (Second in Command). As for opportunities in Tactical; I am sure there will be some down the line. I have been on several away-missions with the General, and assumed the Tactical, as well as Helm positions.*
" so shall we continue sir, sorry to sound rude but i mjsut eager "
"Very good cadet! The right solution is not always the obvious one. Now, I am expecting a guest. They should be here soon. Is there anything that you are not sure about, that you would like to discuss?"
*Kawolsky averts his attention towards Balkazar*
"Sir, I wanted to ask, well..., if I would be able to have Cadet Scotty as my apprentice, here at Starphoenix? He has shown a lot of potential here and I think he could have a good career in Starfleeet security. What do you think sir?"
"Yes, you are right, we should carry on with training. What would you like to practice cadet?"
*OOC: I am from the UK too and I am ready to call it a night soon too. I'll make a topic for the project*
" yes sir, when the sensors detect intruders, it beams the officer into a postion that is strategically safe, that was one of the last algorithms i put in, and in the case of multiple security personel, it will scatter them. making them harder to hit "
"Correct. And what may the day-to-day responsibilities of a security officer include?"
" i would report my suspicions to the captain, as a security officer it is my duty to report possible dangers to ships security "
*Upon hearing the alert Kawolsky grabs a phaser from his desk*
"Computer are there any intruders in Engineering?"
"Negative." the computer replied
"Computer, initiate Rapid Response program. Security Team Alpha, meet me in Engineering."
*Kawolsky and Scotty are beamed to engineering*
*OOC: Sure, no problem.*
"If it suits you then that is fine with me. Anyway, to begin your training with me, I would like you to take a look at the Starfleet Database on weapons and Security Protocol. Then I will gove you a short quiz to test you, after which we willl visit General Newberry, the commander of this base."
"It looks like I know a thing or two about security. I do wish the stalling would stop so I can get to what I am here for"
" i would like a trip to the phaser reange sir, but no test would bore me im here to learn everything i can sir
*Kawolsky re-enters his office*
" not really sir , im beginning to understand alot more of security/tactical dutys now. shall i leave you and your guest sir? "
" yes sir "
* he leaves the room and stands outside *
" i will test in anything you think is appropriate to get me to cadet level 3 sir "
"I have been thinking cadet. When the officer beams to the location of the intruders, he would not know where he is in relation to anything, and in the time it take him to get his bearings, he could be shot or even killed. Do you have a solution to this problem?"
" it may include anything from investigations, patrol dutys, apprahending criminals, defending their starship/starbase, maybe even duty at the tactical station.
"Next. Your ship encounters a shape-shifting species. They appear to be a kind, genuine race, however you have reason to suspect they have ulterior motives but you do not have any evidence. Do you go to your Captain with your suspicions or do you keep quiet?"
*Kawolsky and Scotty re-enter, after a successful test in Engineering*
"Yes, sir"
*Hawk leaves for the XO's Office*
*Eyes squint*
"I thought the point of bypassing the academy route would be to not have an instructional period? If I am going to be tested before I get into straight up field work I would rather have an officers rank if I have to do it"
"Would you like to continue? I would be happy to do so."
"I see. I am sure that your father would be proud of you following in his footsteps. Now, I would like to find out how much you know about Starfleet ships. Give me one Tactical advantage of the Galaxy class Starship."
" yes sir "
* he flips the computer around, he looks through his personal correspondence, no new messages "they must have forgot about me " he chuckled to himself, he then checks his learning schedule, he then turns off the computer and awaits the lieutenants returns *
" its an intresting suggestion sir, i would like to learn all that i can, would it not be possible to learn at the DSA and learn here as well "
* he takes the cup, he takes a sip *
" thank you, this stuff helps me concentrate, now im really ready to go sir " * he chuckles *
" yes sir, i think by routing the transporter controls direclty into the comm system, it can determine who is on duty, and transport them to the sight, while instantly sending a message to the other security forces to report to that area, what do u think "
"Indeed it would. Now onto special circumstances combat. Here is a scenario for you: You and a team of starfleet personnel have boarded a Borg ship in an attempt to find a piece of technology (i.e a transwarp coil) to aid in the Federation's fight against the Borg. Things start to go wrong several minutes into the mission, and when you attempt to remove the component, several Borg drones become active. You manage to repel them but the Borg have erected a damening field and you cannot beam out until your starship's tactical officer can penetrate the field. This will take several minutes. While you wait you defend yourself by firing at the Borg drones but they soon adapt. What do you do?"
"Good. In that case, go and see my XO. His office is down the corridor and to the left. Dismissed."
"I don't like your tone Crewman. I am your Commanding Officer and I would like to find out what you already know about Starfleet Security. If you are going to be under my command, I need to know what you know, so I know which areas you would be best in and what tasks you would be best suited to. The quiz should be fairly easy, and yes, there will be no testing after this. If you wish to become an officer, I can arrange it so that you can become a Provisional Ensign here and learn while you work, however, if you still want to continue down the enlisted route, after this quiz, I have a job for you. And may I add, that if you do complete the quiz, and perform adequately, I might even consider promoting you. Now, what will it be?"
*OOC: Sorry to be harsh but thats my character. If you want to carry on as enlisted this is the only quiz that you will have to do.If you want to apply for officer training, you can either do it at the Academy, or field training, with me, as an acting Ensign. As an officer you could eventually fill my Sec. XO position. You can't fill this position as an NCO but it will take longer to become an officer. Your choice.*
* scotty could'nt believe it, *
" thank you sir, shall we be continuing today? im more eger than ever sir "
" the galaxy class has wide phaser arcs, leaving no significant blind spots, this coupled with the burst torpedo launchers gives it great offensive capability
"Please excuse me cadet. I will be back in a minute. We will continue your training then. In the mean time, feel free to use my computer. Just don't access any retricted information. I will know."
*Kawolsky steps outside of his office for a while*
"Sir, if I may? Cadet Scotty could learn as an apprentice here and submit answers to quizzes etc, via subspace, to you at the DSA."
"A fan of Klingon food I see? Computer, one Raktajino"
*The drink appeared on the Replicator Pad. Kawolsky took it and placed it in front of Scotty*
"I have no problem with you being eager, now what do you say we work out that transport program?"
" i would try to keep moving, staying away from teh drones, until they come so close that we have to fire, i would also use wide beam setting so that i could take out as many drones as possible at once. And if we are being overwhelmed i would send my team away and i would try to slow the drones down myself, giving them some time to be transported out "
*Hawk was surprised*
"Yes,sir. I would like to get straight into work."
" no sir he is indispoded at teh moment"
* he looks around the office, noitng the personal items on the desk*
" when will i begin my training sir, im anxious to get underway"
(ooc) if i take field training here will i sitll be able to become a officer or will i be a enlisted personnel, and are there any chances of movin into tactical?
"OK then. Since this is your training period, do you have anything that you would like to do, in mind?"
"Hmm...interesting. I would have expected most people to answer with the Saucer Seperation advantage, but what you just said is great. Now one more question, well, two in one: What type of phasers and defences does the Defiant class ship have?"
" so when will we continue wit hmy trainign sir? "
*Balkazar without waiting enters Kawolsky's New office and just stared at Kawolsky as if waiting for something*
"Hmmmm, This is possible however I will stay here for a undetermined duration and see how well you, Kawolsky. Handles your job and see how well you are a teacher to Scotty, if I see improvements from both of you I may suggest holding more apprenticeships here and aboard other ships rather then just planetary. Sense as a security officer we are both land and space combat officers, and we may have to go beyond the call of duty so to speak. Will this work for both of you ?."
" yes sir i would, a raktajino please "
" if they were on duty would they not be armed sir?
" 16.4 sir, damn not fast enought "
" thank you sir, goodnight "
"Ah, Ensign. Welcome to Starphoenix Base. If you would like to get straight into work, you may report to my Executive Officer."
*Kawolsky averts his attention from Haynes towards Scotty and the Marines escorting him*
"You are dismissed" Kawolsky instructs the Marine escort
"Hello, Cadet Scotty. Is Commander Balkazar not with you?"
" yes sir, teh more the better "
" the defiant class has four Class I rapid fire phaser pulse cannon and one Type X Phaser bank. it has an Auto modulated high capacity shield system, Heavy Duranium/Tritanium double hull plus 20 cm Ablative armor and a High level Structural Integrity Field "
"I am glad to hear that."
*Kawolsky stands to*
"Commander Balkazar, welcome."
" Yes sir, that sounds great "
"If you would like to, then yes, we will"
*Kawolsky walked over to his replicator*
"Water, chilled" he asked
"Would you like anything cadet?"
"Good idea, but I think there should be a 10 second warning to the person on duty, so that they have chance to get a weapon and ready themselves for transport."
"Very well. I have set the computer to, in the next few minutes, alert us of intruders on the base. The computer will report a random location and I will decide whether to initiate the beam-in program or if it is too risky, seal off the area and await backup."
*A few minutes pass and computer alerts go off*
"Warning. Intruder Alert. Crew Quarters." stated the computer
"How many intruders present?" Kawolsky asked the computer, whilst grabbing a phaser
"Four intruders are present" the computer replied
"Computer, initiate Rapid Response program"
*In the next couple of seconds Kawolsky and Scotty are beamed to the crew quarters. Kawolsk turns to Scotty*
"I make that 16 seconds. You?"
"Goodnight cadet"
*Kawolsky finished some work on his computer and then switched it off and stood up*
"Computer, lights off"
*The lights went off and Kawolsky exited to his quarters*
*John Hawk approached Kawolsky's office and pressed the chime. The Security Chief allowed him access. He entered*
"Sir, Ensign John Hawk reporting for duty"
"Very well, since we have been through security, it only seems right that we discuss tactical situaions." Kawolsky replied
"To begin with , I will give you a scenario to complete, after which we will dicuss starship weapons and technology. Does that seem appropriate? I always like to get the opinion of the cadet, as it is you who is the one learning."
" thank you sir, are there any more questions "
" yes sir, thank you sir. Now im doubly enthusiastic about getting that ensigns pip "
"Scotty, Kawolsky has just asked me if it was alright for you to stay here as his apprentice, and im considering it, tho from a learning perspective hes right out of the academy too which gives my choice some draw backs, because of this. But I want to know what you think of what he asked me ?"
"I am inclined to agree with Cadet Scotty"
* scotty transports back into the office *
" im ready to beign sir "
" ok then, a 10 second warning should give them time to arm themselves, then transport them, they should arrive in 13 seconds, thats 2 seconds less than the commander expected "
" no sir i mnot familiar with that report "
*Kawolsky re-entered his office. Scotty was waiting there*
"Well, Ensign, It seems that General would like us to bring back this Prince Nesbitt for questioning anyway. Respond to his distress call and tell him that we are on our way, then go to the Delta Flyer and prep it for launch"
*Scotty responded with 'Yes sir' and left for the Delta Flyer*
" well i would like to learn about tactical contorls and the dutys of tactical officers, and anything that you think is appropriate sir "
"Not as such. I would, however, like to ask you how you got interested in the Tactical/Security field?"
"Then, when you graduate, I would like to offer you the position of my Security XO. What do you say?"
* scotty walks back into the room, he stands at attention *
"Very well, but keep in mind that if ANY! one of you gets into some kind of trouble during this trial of sorts you come to me and Newberry understood!?. That includes if you need help."
"Uness in times of war, Starfleet security officers do not generally carry phasers."
*Kawolsky slams his cup on the table and takes out two phasers from his desk*
"Cadet, put that cup down and do as I say! Here, have this. Keep it at low stun at ALL times!! And never tell me what to do cadet!"
*Kawolsky gives Scotty a MKI Phaser.*
"Computer initiate a sight-to-sight transport to Ops"
*The computer beeped and the two disappeared in a bright light*
"Good answer. Sometimes the job of the security officer requires you to ''dig a little deeper'' and your ''gut feeling'' can sometimes play a part in that, even if it sometimes requires disobeying a direct order. Have you read the mission report of Commander Chakotay, of the starship Voyager, on stardate 48423.0?"
"Distress call? To you personally? I don't know Ensign, wait here. I will be back soon"
*Kawolsky left his office for Ops*
* bradley taeks the PADD, looks at it,and start typing in answers
1:Unlimited access to all ship's records, and computers. Limited access to command functions (except if stated otherwise by Commanding Officer). Access to ship systems is limited to duty related functions
2:ALPHA-TWO
3:Limited access to Starfleet or Federation documents and records. Access is limited to job related elements.
4:Encryption methods based upon nonprobabilistic nondeterminism
5:when a known hostile ship appears or decloakc, the captai nwould call for red alert to create a state of maximum crew and systems readiness
6:Aboard Federation starships with the ability of planetfall, blue alert is a state of readiness for landing operations. Blue alert notifies the ship's crew to occupy Code Blue stations, and is ordered prior to the starship's landing on a planet and prior to liftoff. A starship commander should not order the start of descent until all decks report that condition blue has been set.
7:Federation signal for a total disaster, requiring an immediate response, also designated as a Priority 1 call.
8:Signal indicating the discovery of a space vehicle in distress
9:Level 5
10:Beta one
"OK then, here goes"
SCENARIO:
A Romulan Warbird decloaks in Federation territory and opens fire without warning. The Captain is knocked unconcious and the First Officer (who has been on the ship for 2 weeks) assumes command. Your shields are down to 60% and aft phaser banks are damaged beyond repair. What would you do as Tactical officer, OR what reccomendations would you make to the new First Officer?
" well sir i wasn't initially intrested i ntactical, i was on course to become a pilot. I changed my mind however when i found my fathers starfleet medals in his home on earth when he died. He Recieved the medal for valour by Managing to hold off 2 cardassian galors and 3 dominion Fighters while serving as tactical officer on the uss tempest during the dominio war, he also recieved other medals in ground combat, he was one of the few survivors of the siege of AR-558. i have alos found that security is one of the most important things in history, we must always be vigilante, and be careful not to become complacent or the fedaration may suffer greatly "
" yes sir i would like that, it would be a great chance to gain some experience working in the security/tactical field
"Understood sir"
" i think we shoyuld get to ops sir "
" thats even better, it still fits into the time frame "
(ooc) hey i dont mean to be rude but could i take another couple of tests as i have another hour max before i need to call it a night, thx
"Hmmm...that would increase the number of people on scene....however, the on-duty marine officer will most likely want to co-ordinate his marine officers in repelling the intruders from the base. I definately think we should get the computer to send a message to the officer. What he does then should be up to him though"
" sir ive recieved a distress call from a Prince Nesbitt of vulcan, requesting assistance, from me directly, permission to take a shuttle and tow him back to dantor
*Kawolsky takes the PADD and studies it for a while*
"Very impressive cadet. 100%. I see you have learned the database well. I am now promoting you to Cadet 2nd year. Congratulations!"
"yes sir that sounds fine "
" well sir i wasn't initially intrested in tactical, i was on course to become a pilot. I changed my mind however when i found my fathers starfleet medals in his home on earth when he died.

(ooc) sorry bout the double post
"Yes, you would need to be. I was talking about when you graduated"
" yes sir, understood "
*The red alert sirens all across the base and the computer stating that there were intruders on ops*
"Exactly what I was thinking. However, I don't think the transport should be automated. The security officer should be given a warning by the computer and then he should decide whether or not to transport. That should make it about 15 seconds."
" yes sir, i'll amek the modifications then "
*Kawolsky entered his office after a visit to the brig*
"That is strange...." he thought, thinking about the 'Admiral' in the brig
*Kawolsky takes the padd off Haynes and studies it for a minute*
"Well, done Crewman. You have scored 5/5. I would have taken you to see the General but I have just heard that he is busy, so...you can have a break for now. Take a look around the base, familiarise yourself with the layout and I will contact you when the General is back. Don't worry, he shouldn't be long."
"Transferring emergency power to shields is a good move. Ship protection is priority. Targetting their weapons systems is a good, Starfleet offensive. I am glad you didn't say to target their warp core or critical systems. That is not how we do things in Starfleet. You are correct in deciding to retreat, however you must consider the reprocussions of this. As you know, the Romulans have cloaking devices and could easily pass through Federation territory. I would not ''try to do as much damage as possible''. I would target the cloaking device so that the Romulans could not use their only advantage on us." Kawolsky replied
"An overall good response cadet"
"Ah, OK then. Here's a scenario for you. A high ranking Starfleet official, for example an admiral, is held at Phaser Point by a known criminal. You have a Phaser MkII. It is most likely that the criminal will shoot him unless you act. What do you do?"
*With that said, Balkazar leaves to take in the sights of the Dantor base*
" yes sir i shall get onto it after my tests "
(ooc) im from the uk, and the clocks have jsut gone forward so im having to go to bed an hour early, where should i post to make the modifications.
" yes sir i do "
OOC**Im about to cause some hectic for ya. But scotty, I have to say this. "If your dealing with a Shape shifting race, you may wish to not tell the captian, because for all you know the Captian could be a Shape-Shifter too. You need to think from all angles to be a good security officer."
IC**Another Red alert sounds about a bomb being in in engineering*
*Kawolsky enters his new office and looks around*
"Nice" he says to himself
*He then walks up to his desk and switches on his computer*
"Computer, bring up all personnel files" he asks it
"Working" the computer responds
*At a moment's notice, the screen flashes up with personnel files of everyone on the station*
"Now to get to know everybody" Kawolsky says under his breath
*25 minutes pass. Kawolsky closes his computer, gets up and leaves his new office, heading for Ops*
*Answers*
1. Access to all of the ship's records systems and computers. No access to ship command functions
2. BETA-ONE
3. Access to all classified and secret Starfleet or Federation documents and records.
4. Normal search for a Starfleet officer that is thought injured or unable to respond.
5. If a known enemy ship instantly decloaked near the ship.
"I would recommend that we transfer emergency power to shields and engage the enemy, we can not leave it in Fedaration territoy as it could attack dozens of defensless colonys. i would reccomend delta 3 maneuvers, as it is an attcak of the forward weapon array, which is undamaged, specifically targetting there weapons systems and try to disable them. if however if the tactical situation is looking grim ui would reccomend a tactical retreat, doing as much damage before we leave, then contact the nearest starship to assist in a counter attack "
" if i was unsure that i could hit the criminal if he was holding the admiral from behind, i would set my phaser to low stun wide beam setting, which would stun the criminal and the admiral. it may not be the preffered solutino, but it would ensure the admirals safety "
* scotty turns to kawolsky *
" with your permission sir, should we continue my training? "
"Can I trust you to implement this program, cadet?"
*OOC: I have to ''call it a night'' in 30mins so yes 1 or 2 more tests. Oh and just out of curiosity, where are you from?*
*Kawolsky peruses the PADD*
"Looking good cadet. I'm going to schedule a test for one hour from now. Do you think it will be working fully by then?"
"Correct. But Janeway could have given the technology to the Kazon. The Kazon were in the Delta Quadrant after all, it would not have affected Starfleet in the Alpha Quadrant."
