Mission 2: Possibility of more Romulans

[Movack]

"Lt Brodie, Commander Salen , Sirs I suggest if there is residual energy trails from a possible cloaked ship nearby,  that we upgrade our combat posture."

[Movack]

"Ambassador Trell, How can you see that, look at all the interferrence in the signal"  

"Look at the mainviewer,  you can see the interference"

"GRRR"

"So who is this transmission for?"

[Movack]

"Commander,  Sir, I have compiled a list of crew members that would be best suited for this away team"

I hand over the information to Commander Salen

AWAY TEAM:

Lt. Kate Dallas  
Ensign Collin Denari (med)
Ensign Movack (security)
Ensign Tom Anderson  
Ensign Sven Guiss
Cadet Josh Cole

[Jorgen Salen]

Salen motions everyone to seats and asks them to help themselves to the replicator for a refreshment as it will be a short meeting.

"Ok, everyone, settle down.  Let's talk about what we'll do next."

OFF: Good save, Movack- my quarters being the same as the ready room.  I'll let you have that one.  Hehehe... this IS a small ship, after all.  I like to meet in my quarters when possible to be less formal and take the edge off non-emergency meetings.

[Jorgen Salen]

Admiral:  If it is within your power to stop a regularly posting mission, which this is, then I respectfully withdraw from Starfleet.  It is a pity you feel you can switch our missions mid-stream like this- especially after we just got a bunch of new crew.  My best to Admiral Vorak.

Salen leaned over May's shoulder and looked at the sensor readings.  "Where is the away team?  Oh, here we go, I think the shielding is still blocking our sensors."

Salen returned to the command chair and ordered Lt. Cmdr. Laverz to beam the transponder beacon into the Romulan's vicinity.  After a few minutes the transporter room signaled that the away team and the Romulans were ready to be beamed aboard.  The transponders worked!  "Beam them up, Mr. Laverz," Salen said.

"Mr. Guiss, signal the Dragon that we have their crew and will return them to their ship immediately after the debriefing.  Afterward I want you and the senior officers to report to my quarters for a short mission discussion.  I'm going there now- you have the Bridge."  Salen leaves.

OFF: Sorry for the delay guys- Net issues.  All's better now.  Apologies also for this post's abruptness, but we must move the story along.

"Commander!, Sir, I am picking up a distress call and a un-identified ship  on my scanners.  It appears to have been under fire or have been damaged."

"Lt Brodie, I am picking up life signs."

OFF: Thank you Commander Salen, Sir, My family opposed my service to Star Fleet, but I hope our alliance can be strong.  But believe me, I can't turn down a fight of honor.

[Movack]

"Commander, Sir, I am picking up another signal."

"Sir, I think it's another romulan ship.  I am picking up their signature trail on my scanner."

"Ambassador Trell, sir, do you have anything else to add or suggestions on this  second signal?"

Said, with a hint of sarcasm.

Attention: The crew has a new member.  Please welcome Lt. Cmdr. Stone who will be replacing Lt. Mark Brodie as Chief of Tactical.  Mr. Movack will report to him directly upon his arrival (by posting- as we shall assume he's been here all along, as is protocol when replacing crewmen mid-mission).  The mission will continue as has been written since page 7, so please everyone keep up.

"Understood, sir." Nyssa went over the controls and sent out a few exploration probes. One came back, signifying that something was out there. She turned her head and said to the officer at OPS, "Can you tell what that anomaly is?"

He ran his fingers over some controls and at first he thought that it might be a hydrogen bubble, but after doing two more quick tests, he said "It is definately a Romulan probe." He set off a Yellow Alert but didn't set off the claxon, as the ship was still on communications silence. Nyssa told tactical to be on the ready, if need be.

I still haven't received a rank yet for Nyssa, and I am still having to sign in for every page. Also, the cursor still freezes every 30 seconds, it seems like, and sometimes when I hit submit, my post will disappear. This is my second time trying to send it. Thanks, Nyssa
