[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] (1) Critique: Paladin's response to the possibility of some sort of Dorzan "threat." I think it's incredibly species-ist, paternalistic, and nothing short of the same sort of condescension that the pre-modern Vulcans showed Humanity in the early 22nd century. We have no right to judge their culture based on our own perspectives; to do otherwise violates the very heart of the Prime Directive's purpose, in spirit if not by the letter of the law. Aside from the possibility of active conquest, they have just as much right to expand and colonize as they see fit. Certainly, we feel they could benefit from Federation membership, and that we could gain much from them as well. But should they choose otherwise, that is absolutely their prerogative. (2) The following vessels have arrived: * USS [i]Heracles[/i], [i]Akira[/i] class, NCC-62504 * USS [i]Grand Teton[/i], [i]Istanbul[/i] class, NCC-38411 The following assets have been delayed: * USS [i]Proteus[/i], [i]Saber[/i] class, NCC-61998 * USS [i]Bayreuth[/i], [i]Saber[/i] class, NCC-61949 * USS [i]Antietam[/i], [i]Defiant[/i] class, NCC-76874 * USS [i]Cheng Ho[/i], [i]Nova[/i] class, NCC-72389 * USS [i]Dakota[/i], [i]Nova[/i] class, NCC-73617 * USS [i]Paladin[/i], [i]Intrepid[/i] class, NCC-74836 (you said [i]granted in full[/i], right?) * 114th Fighter Squadron (3) Looks like the [i]Heracles[/i] is getting its first assignment. It's going to start the job of patrol and deploying the sensor net in the trusteeship zone until the rest of my fleet arrives. (4A) I'll send [i]Runnymede[/i] to attempt to make contact; Captain Henschel is ordered to be persistent but up front about what we want to do. Any and all conditions imposed for such aid should be accepted � if they want to collect it all themselves and send it offplanet (thus avoiding any "aliens" from needing to land, we'll take whatever we can get. However, there will be no provocative or unilateral action taken; the Semmans have ultimate right to their planet, and though we may push, the diplomatic boundaries will be upheld. (4B) First, is this Federation civilian, or Dorzan civilian, or random-bumpy-headed-alien civilian? Unless it's the first option, I'll take a hands-off policy. I don't have any forces to send to the rescue for some random ship not under Federation jurisdiction if the situation isn't life-threatening. However, if the civilian ship [i]is[/i] flying with Federation markings, then the [i]Runnymede[/i] will ride to the rescue and attempt to intervene. Orders will be to approach cautiously and non-aggressively, with the clear and stated aim (broadcast via known Semman comms channels) that the goal of their approach is to help preserve the Semmans' apparently-desired privacy. I may consider establishing a Semman Exclusion Zone, to keep all traffic away from their system. Dunno how necessary that might be right now, though. (4C) Fortunately, my diplomatic training reminds me not to laugh in either faction's faces. If they know about the Prime Directive at all, they'll know this is purely an internal affair, and the Federation will not get involved. On any material-aid level, period. I will offer the Federation's services as mediator, with the primary goal of getting the hostages themselves released to avoid bloodshed. (And I will make it clear at the outset that that's my ONLY goal; the mining colony itself is of minimal importance by comparison.) In the mean time, I will instruct my adjutant to draw up a list of all Federation citizens or groups in Dorzan territory; should any sort of fighting break out, I don't want our people being pawns in the Dorzan cultural revolution. (Good thing I ordered that [i]Istanbul[/i]...) Also, I want to know more about these Dorzan rebels, and just how many more of them there might be out there... (5) Those Gorn ships? (Assuming you send a ship out there,) You find out they're not heading towards any of the uninhabited worlds in the trusteeship zone, they're going right towards Zemch itself. No contact has yet been made. How far will you go to intervene and protect Zemch isolation? EDIT: To clarify, the [i]Runnymede[/i] will be departing for a well-deserved decommissioning as soon as its replacement, the [i]Paladin[/i], arrives. [/QB][/QUOTE]
