Beside that YeOlde now that Valberg has been lost I only have you for which to set my aggravation of Chief of Security in motion.

It is so hard to be highly intelligent with nothing to do but follow the Chief of Security around. it is what I planned to do with Valberg. To save him from putting a security crewman on me.

In all seriousness I would hate to lose you and your interest ing character in this game.

Don't go

Talon has a personality and he took over that is why he acted that way, not you. and he is noted for a bad temper

I've posted the first of a couple of posts, but my next is dependent on whether you decide to stick with us, YeOlde.

Duncan, I'm glad you're enjoying your job. Nothing quite like working those long hours and still getting satisfaction out of it. We are, of course, looking forward to your posts as you find the time.

To whomever: What is the situation in the Docking Bay for the Romulans. Were chairs provided or are we standing around, or sitting on the floor?

Are the Cerberus Security personnel still with us?

For Captain Gavison, is there any back post to Rhiannon, when she first reported to him and then was staring off into space, after which she commented that her twin was alive?

I didnt say I would bow out looking for any kind of sympathy or anything.. but I appreciate your wanting me to stay.

Well.. if the GM (Eol) will still have me then I guess Talon can sit in his cabin for a bit and come to terms with this whole screw up of his and hopefully get past it all.

Thanks everyone for wanting me to stay!

I don't think anyone took it as a sympathy ploy.

Glad you reconsidered.

Oh, and one aside: I am *NOT* a GM, here. I'm happy to help (being as I'm a huge Trek geek), and I do know a lot about what is going to happen, but I'm just a player. I offer advice (which I perhaps should not) only because I *HAVE* GMed Trek before, and know what a challenge it can be for all involved.

Eol and Bromern wear the big hats, here. I'm just a peon, dude!

Absolutely, Ye Olde. Without a doubt or question, I'd love to keep you on board... I've played with you in a handful of games, already, and have always thought that your posts were top notch and that you're quite the gamer. Talon did what Talon has been known to do... and perhaps crossed the line due to the stress or 'scent of impending combat' or what have you... and so, ended up in the pokey. It happens... Happened to Mac a lot in his own career as has been mentioned... and for much the same reason.

Listen, folks, none of what's been said or done in game or here in the Q&A has been intended to hurt anyone's feelings, get your characters killed off, or anything of that sort, and if any of you, for one second, took it as such you have my sincere and humble apologies. All that was intended here was to nudge the game back on course as we were starting to wander off to a point that might have been a major plot buster... and the "Starfleet decorum" I was expecting from the IC nudges didn't quite pan out... The fault is as much mine as anyone elses for not keeping a 'better handle' on things. I'll be better about 'behind the scenes' communications from here on out.

Peace?

Friends?

Ahead; Warp 6?

Thanks all,
Eol

“All for YeOlde to continue to play Talon, but in a more subdued and more controllable role, signify by saying Aye!”


“AYE!” Multiple voices sound off in unison.


“All opposed?”


“nay” a single weak voice whispers


~A single Phaser blast rings out~


“All opposed?”


~Silence~


OK, I will continue in this game then. I promise to reign in Talon, a bit.. at least no 'outward' insubordination.. really! If I start to get out of line too far and things threaten the flow.. let me know.. OOC… either in the Q&A thread here or via PM.. your choice. I don’t want a repeat of before. I do have a tendency to get too wild in those types of characters that are themselves of a wild and uncontrolled nature.

OK I guess Talon is in his quarters under guard waiting for the dressing down the Captain is sure to give him. Cant wait!

Glad ye-Olde is staying.

Now, in reference to my earlier question about where the Romulans are being held and the staging of the scene. I need to know so I can post.

Pleaseeeeee.

I will nuke that one weak-voiced nay sayer. Just pont them out

I guess we should have outlined how the survivors were being serviced in more detail, and since Lt. Kennedy would have been primarily responsible for the operation, I'll have to elaborate. Department heads can add their two bits, but please keep in mind that though Kelsey doesn't like it, he was planning on remaining at least diplomatic where the Romulans are concerned, and treating the SF personnel like the victims of a disaster...oh, wait! That's what they are!

So, the shuttle bay is pretty much a trapezoid with the wide end containing the shuttle bay doors, and a single door in the narrow end providing access to the ship's interior. Bunks will be set up lining the walls, up to two deep if necessary, and there will be tables and chairs set up in the middle of the room. Security personnel will be on hand outside the doors (two: one on either side of the door). Though, in this case, the four from the Cerberus will have been replaced by four from the Charon so that the Cerberus' crew can get some much needed rest. The one department that Gavison has not skimped on as far as personnel are concerned would be the medical department, so there are blue shirt crewmen moving about taking care of the recovery effort and acting as psychiatric caregivers. Red shirt Ops personnel are also hovering around the survivors making sure they've what they need.

Near the door will be a processing desk ran by a staff of three Ops personnel, for quicker processing. One medical ensign will be present to perform full bioscans, and two security crewmen will be standing by on either side of the desk. The primary function of this station is to register all survivors, verify Starfleet records, and determine the health of the survivor. Once they've determined the condition and identity of the survivor, and should the survivor be an officer, they'll group the individual with others who've been processed and an Ops ensign will show the officers to their temporary quarters. Should they not be officers, they'll be processed and allowed to return to their bunks.

The Romulans will have their own sequestered set of bunks in one of the far corners of the room. There will be four Charon security personnel stationed about the Romulan's bunks, and a level three force field will be in place around the Romulan's section as well. As Kennedy will have no doubt informed the Romulan in charge in the Centurion's absence, "A Starfleet vessel has been destroyed while Romulans were on board. I know that I don't need to elaborate upon the past between our two governments. There will no doubt be those among the surviving crew who will place the blame squarely on your shoulders. Captain Gavison is concerned with any further harm coming to your delegation, and so long as there's a chance that you may be harmed by any misplaced anger, he is insisting on you accepting his protective measures. If there is anything you need, feel free to contact me."

The Centurion will have been escorted from sick bay directly to this "protective" section of the shuttle bay as soon as she is through being tended by Lt. Hash. Unlike the Cerberus' security detail, the Charon's will be under strict orders from Talon not to engage in conversation with the Romulans; they are to remain completely engrossed in their duties. Should the Romulans need something that they don't have, Lt. Kennedy is their only liaison with any of the crew aboard the Charon, unless, of course, Mac chooses to give his crew different orders.

I'm glad you chose to stick around, YeOlde!

Been a busy week at work and at home for me, folks, sorry for the slow down in my posting. Brain fried and good posts don't often go together in the same bundle, do they? I'll get something out there as soon as I can.

What would be the color of a bruise on a Romulan?

Romulan blood is green, so I'd imagine that a newer bruise would have a somewhat greenish cast to it and probably move towards black as it 'aged/healed'.

Should have a post up soon, just waiting to hear back from our GM.
