[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] OK, so.....time compression for events? SURE, why not! <center>[b]<U>QUESTION FOUR (six parts)</u>[/b]</center> [*]Espejo V, Repka II, & Ogul VI have agreed to form what they call the Sector Guard; Yvel IV has opted out of the pact. The leaders inform you that they will immediately begin patrolling the borders by the Penxi & the nebula with local cutters & "heavy" local ships (equivalent to escorts or destroyers). How does this affect your plans for exploration & defense (if any)? Do you sanction them & their actions? Justify your reasons & account for this new paramilitary element. [*]The colony force is about to depart K-10 & the final meetings are being held. One of the remaining tasks is to plan the route that the convoy will take. DSU Qiao wants to get to Sobchak's Planet as quickly as possible to catch up on any gains the Klingons might have gotten already; his direct route would take the convoy straight through the Ul'Chek Nebula. The captains of the escorts & transports would prefer to avoid the nebula, citing the astrogational hazards it poses; they wish to plot a route that avoids the nebula entirely but will add 3 days to the journey & will skirt the parts of Federation space that border the Penxi Optimus. It's up to you to break the deadlock. Make your decision on the route, explaining your choice. Weigh your options & plan for contingencies. [*]It has been 1 week since [i]Nernst[/i] has checked in with K-10. No word has been received, but no wreckage has been found either. Their last update reported nothing that implied a hazardous situation. Address. [*]The colony convoy is attacked by raiders out of nowhere. Two transports are quickly destroyed before the escorts can engage the enemy; did they carry food, equipment, or personnel? The battle is lengthy & running, & any local ships you have nearby respond. In the aftermath, you have taken heavy losses. If you have a small escort force, 3 or 4 ships have been lost (tiny loses 3, small/medium loses 4, but leave at LEAST one vessel to survive); if you have a large force, you lose 1 or 2 ships (large/medium loses 2, large loses 1). If any local ships respond, you lose 1 of those. [*]The Gor-Bahtki are a lesser race whose planet is in one of the lesser unnamed star systems on the map; they are not a Federation member but they have enjoyed normal relations with the UFP in the past. An update from Starfleet notes that they have contacted the Penxi about trade ties. React accordingly, taking into account current & existing sector issues as well as future plans. [*]The convoy makes finally starfall at Sobchak's Planet. The unloading of the transports proceed apace & the convoy commander makes a report to you about the events. He notes that Qiao is convinced the Klingons are behind the attack because the pirate ships were cloaked & sensors recorded a neutron surge when they decloaked indicative of Klingon cloaking technology. Qiao infers from this that the Klingons contracted with a third party to ambush the convoy & thus have the planet forfeited to them. He also demands that you--as secotr commander--"personally take steps" to avenge the attack & help the Federation (& him) save face. [/QB][/QUOTE]
