As leader for Green Squad, Xandra had tucked in behind Ric’s heels and was sitting silently behind him as orders were passed out. As the Captain looked around, she raised her hand a moment. “Sir… if ships sent to that area went ‘dark’ would it be so wise for us to do the same thing? The Pendragon Class should have held up which means something is certainly actively blocking them. My suggestion,” and she forced herself not to glance at Ric because she knew what his reaction would be at her volunteering this idea, “is that I take a couple fighters ahead. We can stagger ourselves and creep up on the ‘area’ to make sure we aren’t running into a local anomaly. If the lead fighter goes dead, we have two or three behind it to relay back where the ‘event horizon’ of the affected zone is, but also tell what else may be a factor.”

Perhaps she had spoken too quickly and perhaps it was irrational. But to her, irrational was ‘two’ main ships caught by… whatever it was. “We could then try the shuttle idea with augmented shields if that’s all it is. But if it’s an attack or annihilator style affect these ships are suffering, we also can’t afford to be hit by it as well.” Dead zones and wells where electronics didn’t work right wasn’t as big a deal as some thought. But a species or class of ship some other race had that could penetrate and drop a Pendragon in its tracks… that was something all together new and not to be taken lightly.

The Captain did not mind the Sqd Ldr speaking up. If Ric had a problem with it then he would bring that up with her.

“I’m not opposed to it but fighters have weaker coms and if you enter the system and go dark then what does that really tell us. It might tell us the edge of the interference or threat is but nothing more. All we do is lose good pilots. However if you did use a chain of ships with a shuttle at the end to boost the final com to the Olinski and with our mods in place it might be better than the whole ship taking the risk . Talk it over with your CAG and he approves we can use it. If not then Plan A.” He said.

It was actually not a bad idea. It probably would not make a huge difference but if it made a little that was better than nothing.

Parker CO

The COS had been reviewing data on the USS Dragoon. He wanted to know what kind of firepower it had, in case the vessel was compromised. Responding to the captain’s earlier order to prepare for a possible boarding, he spoke up, “Sir, permission to return to the security office? I’d like to get the teams armed and prepared.”

Kolar looked over.. “There will need to be multiple projects. The design and removal of the shield array… the alignment of the probe with the sensors systems… and the coordinating program. I can create the program and the alignment system.” He waited to see what the engineer would offer that was within his skill set.

Kolar.

OOC: Yep. We basically just left. This is a bridge round table at this time. The crew were going to be making mods on the way there so when we get to the edge we can implement our plan. Well that is the plan anyway.

OOC: Sorry, playing catch up. Was there anything the CO wanted the CNS to do?

OOC: Start some evals for those who had a tough time with the orphan issues of the last mission. I know several crew had a hard time reconciling the conditions of the children. Such as Lt. Primage and a few others. Also the pilots lost a member of their team on that mission. They would be a good area to look into.

“The shield array engineering can probably rig up solo. It’s just the probe redesign… because we could possibly use it as a failsafe too. If there’s one probe at the edge of the system… we could also use the probe’s power supply as a backup give us time to transmit a distress signal if main comms power fails. We don’t need to reach far… Kolar?

Lt. Michael Gould, CE

“You know that fighter idea might work if we replaced the fighters with runabouts,” Jason mused from the XO’s chair. “A runabout has a comm system almost equal to a starship’s.”

Jason Harn, XO, putting in his two cents

Toro remained at her station and was going over the information that she was able to find on the system that they were going to and what they might be walking into.

CIO
Mirri held their course steady, only making minor adjustements as needed to avoid various spots in space that were troublesome. She was glad that they were underway again. She didn’t like sitting around a station waiting for things to happen.

Helm

OOC: Is the ship moving towards the Antioch system or is it still in the vicinity of the Starbase?
