[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] [i]Question Three Respond to any two scenarios posed by other participants in part (E) of the previous question. (Assume that your two delayed starships have not yet arrived. Also, if you chose to move your starbase in part (C) last time, those ships are also not available for this response.)[/i] Well, since this means there are only two scenarios to respond to: [i]Fabrux's: While scanning The Great Drift, your vessel detects what appears to be an old spaceship, dating approximately from the time of the initial colonization of the Nillavi cluster. Despite all efforts to keep this information under wraps until further analysis can be performed, both the Senac and the Nillavi find out about this vessel and lay claim to it as a lost exploration vessel. How do you handle these claims?[/i] I declare the vessel to be a memorial and a gravesite and that it, and its crew, shall not be disturbed; and deploy a beacon to that effect. [i]And Ginger Beacon's: E) One of your ships on patrol intercepts a suspicious trader, and impounds, among other items, a set of sculptures in their itinerary. The sculptures were originally from Senac, but were exported without permission by a collector to Navilli prior to independence. The Senac have wanted them back since, but the collector sold them to the Navilli government who put them on display in a museum. After independence they remained on display until they were stolen, along with other Navilli artworks about 15 years ago and have not been seen since. You have not informed either the Navilli or the Senac governments yet of your discovery. What course of action do you take and how do you decide who do you return them to?[/i] I return them to the estate of the original owners on Senac. I am particularly disappointed that Navilli museum would purchase items they must have known had been removed from Senac illegally. If the Navilli wish to pursue the matter, they are welcome to file a claim in the Federation judiciary system. [i]Respond to the following developments in the Kedmar Sector, detailing your fleet movements, diplomatic efforts, and any other actions taken by your staff. (By this time, the rest of your fleet has finally arrived. Also, if you chose to move your starbase last turn, that relocation has been completed.) The USS Chesapeake, on defensive patrol in the sector “north” of Kedmar, is attacked and crippled by a Tzenkethi raiding squadron. The battle took place about 5 light-years past the border of the Kedmar sector; it’s the furthest that the Tzenkethi have struck into Federation territory yet.[/i] Welp. I order the [i]Pastur[/i] to the Northern Border Patrol force. I reiterate orders to these ships: they are NOT to engage a Tzenkethi ship or group of ships, but to monitor their movements and await for our heavy ships -- at Oasis -- to respond and engage. [i]A nation-state on Qorn engages in a border skirmish with one of its rivals. While this is not exactly unusual, what is unusual is that both sides are using plasma-based weaponry. The origin of this technology can’t be conclusively determined; all the non-Federation spacefaring cultures in this sector use similar weaponry.[/i] All ships bound from Senec or Oasis to Qorn will be subject to cargo inspections. While regretful, these inspections will be conducted to ensure that there are no violations of the Prime Directive. Additionally, we will utilize our sensor beacons to determine who else is visiting Qorn. [i]A scientific team surveying dense jungle on an uninhabited continent of Oasis makes a startling claim: there is a species of sauroid creatures that is starting to exhibit signs of developing intelligence. The closest analogue to Earth species would probably be Australopithecus. The claims have yet to be confirmed—but if they are, how will this discovery affect the Federation settlement on Oasis?[/i] If this information is confirmed, we will have to evacuate the population from Oasis and do everything we can to erase our presence on the planet. We will also need to move the starbase, but if they're just beginning to develop intelligence, this is perhaps something that can be done within the decade. [i]The Nillavi contact the Federation with an urgent request for assistance. One of the stars in their cluster (H7417, known to them as Darev) is showing increasing signs of instability. For the past two decades, Darev V has been experiencing notably warmer climate due to increased solar radiation. They’ve been trying to cover up the true extent of their troubles, but the effects of the warming are growing more severe. The Nillavi report a couple immediate effects: First, Darev V produces about 30% of all foodstuffs for the entire Nillavi Syndicate. As crop yields drop, the impact to the entire cluster will be obvious. Second, population movement is starting to impact the other worlds of the cluster as people start fleeing Darev V. With the Nillavi’s already-high population density, they’re ill-equipped to absorb so many people, so quickly. Respond to the following questions and scenarios given recent developments: Compose a query your superiors at Starfleet. What additional resources, support, or intelligence do you require to start addressing this crisis? If you think you will need additional ships, specify the number and type of ships.[/i] Well, we need a ship equipped with Dr. Reyga's metaphasic shielding technique to get into the sun, and determine what's wrong, and if we can do anything about it. While we wait on that ... We can immediately provide basic industrial food replicators to the Nillavi. This should help with the food issues they may experience, but they will need to accept that these replicators will be under Federation supervision. In addition to requesting these replicators from Starfleet (my staff will determine quantity), I am going to request the transfer of several transport vessels to distribute these replicators across the Nillavi planets). Evacuating a planet quickly is going to take thousands of starships, and there's no time to waste. The Nillavi need to begin devoting their resources to this task (and our transports which will deliver the replicators can then move to assist). Meanwhile, Starfleet can identify planets which have preselected for potential colonization. Preferably, these worlds will be within one or two sectors of the Nillavi sector, but any port in a storm. [i]The Nillavi attempt to open trading relations with the T’g’nari, with the goal of obtaining a new supply of food. However, the T’g’nari are not interested in any trade. The Nillavi ask the Federation to assist in the negotiations.[/i] The Federation is of course willing to help, but adding a second knock to a front door that will never be opened doesn't lead anywhere. [i]A passenger transport carrying approximately 2,000 Nillavi refugees arrives at Oasis. The Oasis government is willing to help, but they’re concerned about opening the floodgates and becoming overwhelmed by refugees.[/i] Whether or not the transport is permitted to land is up to Oasis; but I do communicate to the Nillavi the situation in the jungles there. If there is a sentient species developing on the planet, anyone they send to Oasis will just need to be evacuated. Further transports will need to be directed elsewhere. [i]Compose your own scenario that deals with the situation in the Nillavi Cluster.[/i] coming soon ... [/QB][/QUOTE]
