OFF: you say that with such meaning....

OFF2: My character(read commander malcolm's room), is currently "indisposed"....

Dr. Malcolm Everrit
XO
Commander-U.S.S Aries

OFF: Is it Aries or Ares....

I agree with you drex...

Yes sir....

*With the battle displayed on the Ares view screen commander malcolm notices the main ship heading towards avalon*

=^=This is Commander Malcolm of the Ares, The main Loxian ship istrying to make a direct assault on Avalon...=^=

*thinking quickley the commander orders an increase in speed,trying to beat the ship to the station, it focuses all of its firepower on it*

OFF: okay,oh, and i hope i didn't sound too pushy,pissed off...i was just anxious...

*malcolm sits in his chair*

"Set a course to the venture, max warp...we're gonna back the station up..."

*a course is plotted to where the battle against the loxians is raging*

*some time later...the ship drops out of warp and "descends" upon the mass chaos of the battle*

"All stations report...."

*the stations report*

"Ready the weapons and fire on my mark....."

yes....welcome david

*the Ares slowley manuvers between the ships, though battered and broken, the ares was luckily not as badley damaged as the other ships that engaged the loxians, the ares slowly stops above avalon*

=^=This is Commander Malcolm to Avalon, and all other Starfleet ships in the area, My ship is fine, i am going to beam over all non essential crew at this time to aid in repairs once our ship is repaired,which shouldn't take long, 4-5 hours max...we beat'em guys....=^=

*the ares beams over all the crew to avalon except for the the essential crew(helm, etc...)*

OFF: I'm still here, i posted a roll call and asked your permission to, if a person doesn't reply(unless noted beforehand in LOA forum,) that character would be deleted...i  think drex is the head of alpha division so he's busy, i know of one person that might be interested in rpg'ing this ship, he does so elsewhere on others...i'll ask.

=^=Understood Captain Karelia, the captain is currently busy, i will forward it to him=^=

OFF: I'm not sure where drex is....last i heard he was busy heading his own division,i think....

"The flag ship has taken considerable damage,but is relentless, we can hold'em,keep'em distracted while the others deal with the rest of the fleet."

*The ares just bairley beats the Flagship to the station, then it does an about face, facing head on with the flagship, the ares aims its weapons towards the flagship and begins to barrad (not sure if correct term) the flagship forcing it to find a different path to avalon...the flag ship still continues to bombard the ares,but the ship holds...*

=^=Ares to all Avalon and the other ships...=^=

=^=this is the ares,we've managed to hold the flagship at the moment, ...we'll be able to hold'em for a while,just finish off the rest=^=

=^=Malcolm out=^=

Decent, a little slow...

*With the battle being over, Malcolm oversee's the repairs...as he awaits the recovery of the Captain*

OFF: Okay, i;m gettng a little bored right now...so maybe i'll just say that i've re routed all of the control panels to on central area and then join the fight against the loxians...sound good to you karelia???

Attention all Aries crewmembers:

1)Admiral Karelia has ordered us to return to DS12 at once, due to the fact that a coalition fleet is gathering...

2) Until Friday May 14th,2004 Commander Malcolm will be acting as temporary CO until Captain Drex returns then.
