[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] == Part A == I'm most surprised that Safko has opted out of this pact... they're the closest to the Penxi and are the most likely to need extra defenses. Regardless, I will only be ignoring this new Sector Guard. My existing patrol patterns are sufficient for defensive purposes, and I will not be willing to let outsiders set Starfleet defensive policies and strategies. They will learn the error of their ways, eventually, but it seems that they're not going to listen to my recommendations. So if they choose to squander their defenses, that's their prerogative. == Part B == Mr. Qiao's requests are overruled, the convoy will take the long way around. The only race involved with Sobchak's Planet was seeing who gets there to settle first. That race is already over, it's not like the Organians are going to be calling "Pencils down!" next week. Three days will not make the slightest difference. The escorts will be [i]India[/i] and the [i]Avenger[/i] destroyer squadron, the [i]Orion[/i] (TMP destroyer), and [i]Michtlantecuhtli[/i] (corvette). I will also order the [i]Skua[/i] and [i]Bali Raj[/i] to extend their patrol routes near Sobchak's toward the convoy, and go to standing Yellow Alert in case they're needed to respond to an emergency. == Part C == This only justifies my decision to route the convoy around the nebula. (I'm getting a flashback to that scene in DS9's "Soldiers of the Empire," with the helm officer sarcastically acknowledging Martok's command to go around the nebula. We're not Klingons!) == Part D == Surprise, surprise. I'm going to consider my escorts to be a "large" force, compared to the other responses. However, Shik's directions don't make it clear if the ships refer to the transports, escorts, or both. I'm going to assume the two lost transports are included in the losses. This means that I've lost [i]India[/i] (incredibly old, slow, and unable to respond to the quick raiders), and the [i]Bali Raj[/i] (corvette overwhelmed by heavy fire). The transports were carrying equipment, mainly the materials for setting up the habitats and agriculture stations. Therefore, I'm going to recommend that Mr. Qiao name the settlement New Caprica City, since the colonists are going to be stuck in tents for a few weeks. ;) == Part E == No response, other than to have my intelligence officer pay a bit more attention to that system, in case the Penxi double-cross them. We'll stand by to play the role of the knight in shining armor if necessary. == Part F == I give Qiao the same response as in the last question: fuck off. I will certainly have to start taking some more aggressive positions against the Penxi, pending an official response from their government. But there will be no retaliation of any form, for the moment. Going forward, I'm going to have to consider planning some sort of offensive campaign, either diplomatic or military, against the Penxi. Let's see how they react, though. [/QB][/QUOTE]
