[QUOTE]Originally posted by Paladin181: [QB] Q5a & b: Regretting having so many of those Istanbul�s right about now. Well questions one and two kinda go hand in hand. But first I�ll mention the diplomatic efforts being made. The Diplomatic Corps was of course appraised of the situation and encouraged to begin the defusing process. I�ve also asked Intelligence to delve into why the Gorn are interested in the ZTZ now (other than to get me all riled up). Operations wise I would recommend putting pressure along the Gorn/UFP border sectors. I however work under the understanding that the Gorn don�t do a whole lot of things that make a lick�a sense or by any rules that could be construed as civilized. As to whom is in command, FCPT Shaala will control his Task Force while I will use mine to slow the Gorn advance long enough for Shaala to get there. Once we�ve connected he�ll take overall tactical command of both fleets. In order to perform this holding action I must therefore move against the Gorn fleet at the ZTZ border. My first act would be to disable the Gorn ships at the blockade, calling my Istanbuls to take the prisoners to 403 and then putting skeleton crews on the Gorn ships. Packing the Gorn ships with explosives and either manning them for a one way trip or using holograms and remote control I�ll send the Gorn ships back to the Gorn fleet. I�ll make no effort to hide where we are and I�ll use the Gorn ships to transmit a short range distress signal telling the Gorn fleet that they�re running back to the safety of the fleet. Once in the fleets perimeter the captured Gorn ships will open fire and crash into the battleships and battlecruisers. This should thin out the Gorn ships. I would then transmit a message similar to �Neener! Neener! Neeener!� and with luck this will cause the Gorn fleet to change course and pursue. We�ll lead them further from the ZTZ, but not enough to cause Shaala�s Task Force additional travel time. It�ll be a tough balance, but the goal is to present the Gorn�s flank to Shaala right before the Gorn finally catch up with my own task force. As I said earlier, Shaala will take overall tactical command of the fleets. I will offer the Gorn the chance to leave, returning their ships to them, and allowing two ships to transport the Gorn prisoners from 403 back to Gornland. The other option involves Fleet Captain Shaala forcibly removing the Gorn from the sector. Now if you�ll remember, I had asked the Dorzan�s to act as a part of my shadow fleet to confuse the Gorn, I would ask them to escort the Istanbul�s back to 403 and hang around there for a few days; my wishes are to use them in a non-combat role and after the first battle there will be nothing but combat. Q5c: I would move my ships into the middle, between the outpost and the Dorzan ships. I would demand an immediate stand-down or any chance of entering the Federation will be lost and aggressive action would have to be taken to ensure the Federation personnel/hostages are safe. The Rebels would not be free of my wraith a Starfleet medical team would have to be allowed in to treat the hostages and be observers as to their treatment. Any critical medical cases would have to be evacuated immediately. Four hostages would also have to be released as a sign of good faith (two Dozans and two UFP citizens). This is non-negotiable. Both sides must be at the table the next day. Q5d: Such good news!! And to make sure it really is good news I�ll send two of my Nova�s to make contact (since all my other ships are in combat by now). The Nova�s will learn of the Semman�s intent � if to help then they will be added to FCPT Shaala�s fleet but if they come to add trouble the Nova�s will warp past them straight for Semma. It�s doubtful the Semman�s will know the Nova�s capabilities so they should follow them back to their home world. By then the rest of the fleet should be able to respond. [/QB][/QUOTE]
