[QUOTE]Originally posted by Idontlikeusernames: [QB] Question 3 Q3a [QUOTE]The Nernst finds in the nebula an unmistakably Penxi transport vessel transferring supply to a pirate raider. The Nernst remains undetected. How do you proceed? [/QUOTE]I'll order the Nernst to record it but stay hidden. In the meantime I'll divert patrol wing 2 from their mine laying duties to converge on the Nernst's position (they should be able to get there relatively quickly since they're already at the edge of the nebula). If my patrol wing gets there in time I want them to destroy the pirate ship but only disable the Penxi transport by targeting life her life support and impulse engines. Next I want them to collect (or vaporize) all the debris from the pirate vessel and alter the transport�s sensor logs to make it look like the transport was attacked by the pirate vessel (for good measure they should loot the Penxi ship to make it look convincing). With any luck this should do something to sour relations between the Penxi and some of the pirates. Q3b I�ll make it clear to the general that neither Starfleet nor the Federation is in the business of attacking civilians, even Klingon ones who�d no doubt like nothing better than to attack us and that if the Federation would really like to prevent or delay the Klingon settlement on Sochak�s planet we�d have far more efficient means of accomplishing that goal. I hope my two Kestrels,the India and patrol wing 2 (assuming they�ve finished their mission from Q3a) were in sensor range of the Klingon ships when they helped them fend off the attackers so it�ll lend some credence to my arguments. I will further offer to provide an escort to Sobchek�s planet for the two D18�s limping behind with my two Kestrels. Q3c Really?��. I didn�t expect this action from the Klingons since I didn�t initially choose a spot for the main colony that was close to any major ore deposits. Given the Klingons usual propensity for strip mining operations in their inexhaustible hunger for resources I can only conclude that the Klingons are doing this a, because they want to establish a large agricultural base (which in turn can only mean they want to establish a long term military base from which they can conduct operations against the Federation) and b, they�ve somehow obtained access to my recommendations to the Bureau of colonization and are doing this to spite me. Most likely the real reason is a combination of the two possibilities mentioned above, which means I�ll have to step up my counter intelligence efforts beginning with changing all security codes and clearances at Station K10. Q3d Oh?���� If DSU Qiao would care to enlighten me as to when exactly the Klingons decided to join the Federation and why I wasn�t informed of this I�d be glad to relocate the Klingon settlers for him (or at least integrate the two settlements), otherwise I remind him that I have no jurisdiction over Klingon military or civilian matters and if he really wanted that spot he should have gotten here sooner. For good measure I�ll show him the recordings of the answer governor Valg gave me when I asked him that question and tell him that for once I agree with the Klingons and that it�s just �though shit� for DSU Qiao. Q3e Oh joy, another of my fears is starting to become a reality. Aside from undoubtedly inflating the already inflated egos of the jackbooted military commanders on Espejo V this sector defense union is a bad idea because it would most likely spread the system defenses to thin leaving the vital planets in this sector wide open to pirate raids or Klingon invasion. Maybe the system defense forces could extent their patrol range to two or three light-years from their home systems but given their likely low maximum warp speeds and the low range of sensors I�d strongly recommend against anything more than that. Q3f Well this certainly looks suspicious, since when are Deputy Sector Undersecretary�s cleared to access Starfleet�s secured files on planetary & sector defenses? Also, totalitarian agriculture, that�s nothing short of barbaric. If DSU Qiao really intends to undertake these kinds of programs, ruining entire ecosystems just to spite the Klingons, I have half a mind to contact the Organians and tell them we�ve decided to relinquish the system to the Klingons myself. I�ll order my security forces to arrest DSU Qiao immediately on suspicions of Espionage and attempted genocide until we can sort out this mess. Even if this turns out just to be a Klingon setup in an attempt to frame mr. Qiao they might have unwittingly done me favor by allowing me to (temporarily) put this officious nit out of action. In the meantime I�ll see if there isn�t a young and bright Vulcan lieutenant amongst my staff I can promote to acting governor of Sobchak�s planet since this colony will most likely need a level headed pragmatist and not some antagonistic buffoon in command, if it�s to succeed. BTW, anyone know how to upload a file to this board so I can include the map with colony locations? [/QB][/QUOTE]
