BIG snip

Spinning her finger, Kelly motioned for the call to be opened again to comms. =/\=Commander Rose we appreciate the escort and look forward to establishing a second chance at a first meeting.=/\=

Tenzing knew the Captain didn’t have much of a choice since the alternative would be bleak. From experience, Trainor was aware of how creating and maintaining alliances were in the Atlantis’s case. Having been dropped on the Captain’s doorstep like an orphaned child, Lieutenant Commander Trainor wasn’t too familiar with the comically shaped ship that was pursuing them. He was more at ease that he wasn’t sensing any benevolence from the voice on the other end of the communication. Tenzing wasn’t too sure he’d be able to say the same thing about the Darkness.

Jen saw that things looked to be that they were on their way on a gradual approach to the station. There were still things that needed to be done. He turned to sweep the bridge with his eyes.

“Engineering, we left in a hurry. The pirates fixed the ship. I want system checks on how she has held up in our race with the Darkness and in the other areas they fixed.”

“Security, Marines. I want a deck by deck check of this ship. The pirates ran from here like rats off a sinking ship. I want to make sure that they didn’t leave anything behind, anything dangerous still operating, or if there are any stowaways that didn’t leave. Mr Trainor, organize those groups if you please.”

“Science, go back to our scans of the Darkness and compile everything you can into a report on them. Speed. Power output in their anti proton beams. If you need to refer with Tactical on their accuracy. Define as best you can their hull composition. This is both for our records and for a presentation to the races at the Station as a kind of peace offering. From the sounds of it they have a lot of information now but perhaps there will be something new they can use. The pirates seemed surprised that we could see the Darkness given their stealth capabilities. Maybe we have some intel they don’t that can be of benefit.”

“Captain, do you have any more?” he asked, knowing he didn’t mention medical or the diplomatic or counseling people. The latter were more beneficial in helping with the meetings of the alien minds.

“Yeah, Cara can you and Ian take the orb and see what you can find out about the Endorians and the Caste. See if there is anything on that quote she who is without fault name the guilty. You’re right. It sounds biblical almost and half the time bible verses are not all turn the other cheek. The Elipse gave us a rundown on the major races in this area but compile a more detailed dossier if you can. I am tired of going into everything blind. See if there is something you can find that they all agree on or connects them and what is the straw that is going to break the camels back.” Kelly’s order was tall but Cara was amazing at her job. Kelly had no doubts the woman would know the races inside and out to the best of her ability by the time they arrived at the base

Jen, XO

OOC: Could all the department requests create a new thread with what they are doing to reach the objectives above and I’ll respond to each in turn. That being said we could push the ship to the Base or let the side threads control the time line… Which would you prefer??
Luke

OOC: Hi Luke .. I ‘think’ we have at least some time before getting to the station? That should be ample time to get a start on them anyway before playing a timeline flip to reaching it. My thoughts anyway. .. Gene

OOC: I agree with Gene. Maybe have a few threads if people wanted to RP out the objectives however, if the side sims about reaching the objectives begin to drag due to people having real life issues and not posting regularly, we can then just arrive at the base at your GM discretion. Hope that makes sense. ~ Kate
