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: It is 29 hours at warp 5 and 12 at warp 8.5.

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

OOC: We can do multiple threads that aren’t really concurrent. I’ll kind of give you a rough hint on where this is planned to go. One (or more of the races) want you to do something, that task can have a side benefit of getting you home. It could be attached to some of the repairs that you wanted… not that you need them much anymore.

OOC: Rough hints are nice. Kinda like bowling with bumpers in the gutter .. we can be shoddy at it but still chance to hit some pins. Thanks Luke! .. Gene

This was the second trip to Base 5 and this time they were being escorted by one Endorian Battle Cruiser as opposed to three Alfian’s. Despite the urgency of their departure (two/three weeks ago) their return wasn’t much different. Ships entered and left the Atlantis’ scanning range, on this approach they were able to identify most of the races and classes of ships - overwhelmingly personal or cargo ships. There were a number of combat vessels, all of large size for the races represented as if they were sending their best to Base 5.
As in their first approach the ship the stood out the most was the Lorn’s Ambassadorial Craft, which continued to impress as being at least a half a century more advanced as the best Star-Fleet had.

“Slow and easy people. Let’s not have a repeat of last time,” Kelly said to her crew as they approached the base.

“Ma’am they are hailing up,” the comms officer announced.

“Put them on,” Kelly said signaled.

=^= Atlantis this is Base Five. You have be noted to be responsible for 27 different civil and criminal acts. Do you wish to plea or move for summary sentencing? Commander Rose indicated that you were apologetic and wished to resolve this with a minimum of … fuss.=^=

GM

Kelly made the universal sign for cut the comms by slashing a hand across her throat. Looking at the XO and then the rest of the crew she let out a sigh. “Does anyone else have a problem with the wording summary sentencing?”

OOC: GM Chuckles… well I guess that does sound ominous.

Tenzing groaned and looked at the Captain, “Twenty Seven?!” He exclaimed with astonishment. “Surely they must be mistaken?” Trainor asked, hoping that Q didn’t dump him into a execution in waiting. Trainor wasn’t sure what the Atlantis had gotten themselves into before he arrived, but it appeared they might have made a chaotic entrance.

“There must have been a mis-translation. I mean there was the weapons charge, striking a law enforcement officer, lock down of the base and the use of escape pods but is only five from my group,” Kelly counted them off. “What about everyone else?” Maybe Trainor was onto something. If they had an idea of when they knew they done it might make it easier to defend what had happened.

A look of disbelief appeared on Trainor’s face as the CO listed off the things the crew had gotten themselves into. “Surely they wouldn’t lock me in the stockholds, since I wasn’t part of the slap and dash.” The Ops officer said, hoping that was true. Tenzing was now beginning to see that Q had dropped him off at the looney ship of the fleet. Moreso, it seemed they were running out of time no matter what they decided to do.

“Whatever you need to do, I recommend doing it now, ma’am.” Tenzing added. “I’m certain that thing back there is going to catch up sooner rather than later.”

Looking at Trainor she nodded and spoke. “Base Five Lt. Trainor acted alone and is currently in custody so you don’t need to worry about him with the charges.” Kelly let out a chuckle seeing the expression on her newest officer’s face. While her comment was only to those on the bridge because she hadn’t opened up the comms yet it was worth it. At times all you could do was laugh or cry or in Trainor’s case probably wonder what cosmic penance had dumped the man on her ship. It also helped to break the tension for a second with the other command staff.

“Open the comms,” Kelly made a swirling motion with her finger. Clearing her throat she spoke. =/\=Base Five, Commander Rose was correct in their assessment that we wish to make ammends however can you be a bit more specific and define summary sentencing? We are not exactly familiar with your laws=/\=
